S. to Avoid Big Spending. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—Despite’ the fact that a presidential election is impending, and although the beneficiaries of ‘‘pork barrel’’ legislation are raising a rigorous protest against the policy of the republican congress in cutting down appropriation bills, the protagonists of economy and retrenchment are not satisfied, and have girded themselves for a real fight against lavish expenditures. That the state of the national treasury calls for economy of the most, stringent character, was forcibly impressed on the United States senate, when Porter J. McCumber (R.), Senator from North Dakota, pointed out that there would be a three bllllon-dollnr deficiency this year. The North Dakota senator urged tint expenditures be cut down to the lowest figure compatible with the public service. Real economy, he urged. Is not possible under the present system of appropriating money through various committees working independently. He gave instances of where committees, instead of cutting down appropriations, have actually increased them. Os the present financial situation he said: ‘■We will start the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1920, with a deficit of more than $3,000,000,000. Our estimated expenditures in the book of estimates, incomplete, but always below the actual amounts expended, propose for our consideration expenditures which, with the additional appropriations now being made, will not be le*s than $6,000,000,000. The total expenses to be met during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1921, would, therefore, in round numbers, bo about $9,000 000 000. DEFICIT SURE TO RESULT, HE SAYS. ‘•Whore will we obtain the cash to meet this demand? Again we turn to the book of estimates for contemplated revenues. Including a return of $500,000 of capital stock of the grain corporation, the estimated revenues In round numbers total $6,000,000,000. Assuming tiiat we should collect nil of this sum, and I doubt that very much, we would still have a deficit of about $3,000,000,000. “That means one of two things: We must either reduce these estimated expenses $8,000,000,000, or we must sell bonds and increase our permanent indebtedness nnder $3,000,000,000. What are wo going to do about it? What are several appropriations committees going to do about it? That may be answered In part by what they are doing right now, and the answer is that instead of reducing, they are vastly increasing appropriations ever the estimates.” The senator recommended ways of reducing the appropriations to keep them within those required for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1920. “This can not be done by mere paring,” he added. “We must apply the ax and not the drawshave. I know of no better way clearly to bring into view the excrescences that havo grown to enormous dimensions and that now demand the saw and ax rather than a manlcuro set, than to present, in a table, some of tho leading items of government expenditures for the year 1915, with the estimates for the same items for the year ending June 30, 1921.” ESTIMATES SHOW BIG INCREASES. This table showed that the estimates for the various departments for 1921 totaled $4,865,410,031, as against $1,094,108,102 for 1915. Senator McCumber pointed out that In computing the 1921 estimates he did not include $600,000,000 due the railroads, nor the $80,000,000 carried by the Sweet bill for increased compensation to wounded soldiers, the $25,000,000 in the water power bill, nor the $73,000,000 Ip the Fuller pension bill. Analyzing the estimates from various departments. Senator McCumber said that “with careful reduction along tha lines indicated, we could easily bring about a total reduction of $2,250,000,000." Will in Six Words Disposes of Estate LONDON, Jan. 31—If there's a shorter will than this on record nobody In London knows It. ‘‘l leave It all to her. Frank R, Kirkley, 13th July, 1917,” were the words written on the back of a small photograph of Annie Muriel Smith by Lieut. Kirkley. She received 320 pounds when the “will” was recorded, after Kirkley’* death on active service In Italy.

Filipinos Object to Red Colonization NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—Filipinos do not like the recent statement by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university and a candidate for 'he presidency of the United States, that in exile colony for deported radicals be established in the Philippine islands. Maximo M. Kalavf, secretary of the Philippine mission, in an open letter to Dr. Butler, says that sending radicals to ‘.he Philippines would undermine the York of twenty years of American altruism. In the islands, he said, the real Americanism had been taught, and tha loclal fabric was free from bolshetvist tendencies. And he called Dr. Butler a ‘zealous woodman bent on cutting down ‘he loftiest and highest tree of the ranch, Ihe only tree which has been free from my germs of bolshevism.” Census Taker Wins Dispute Over Age STEUBENVILLE, 0., Jan. 31.—A foxy census enumerator learned a woman’s age against her will. This enumerator is working In one of the rural districts in eastern Ohio. All the information that a certain woman would give this enumerator relative to her age was that she was two years younger than her oldest sister. “After arguing with her in vain I remembered that her sister was dead,” said the enumerator. “So I went to the nearby cemetery and found the age of the dead sister on a tombstone. “Then I subtracted two and put the woman down as 60 years, which is twenty years older than she looks,” explained the enumerator. Spook’s Appetite Puzzle to Police PROVIDENCE, R. 1., Jan. 31.—The police are trying to solve what Is known as “the Pond street mystery."

The police have explored the cellar but have failed to discover the cause of the “manifestations.” Curious people have been attracted to the place and at times are thirty or forty people In line waiting to get near the cellar to hear the “spook with an appetite beg for food.” Leaf Tobacco Held >• Shows Big Increase WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—The census bureau today reported that 1,318,131,291 pounds of leaf tobacco were held Jan. i, 1920, by manufacturers dealers, as compared with 1,234JM;396 pounds Jan. 1, 1919.

Report That Fanners Are Sore Boosts Com.

STOCK BILLS FACE TROUBLE Road of the Kenyon-Kendrick Measures Will Be Rocky. WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.—The senate committee on agriculture has now seriously entered on tbe consideration 0 1 the Kenyon-Kendrick bills for the control of the packers through tbe creation or a federal live stock commission that shall have the power not only to administer the Sherman act, the Clayton act in respect to trusts, but which shall also act as the guardian of the entire meat Industry, or practically so. Opposition developed in th eflrst executive session to the creation of anew governmental body to take charge of one industry. The committee, it was learned, is by no means Inclined to accept the proposed measure withdut considerabto searching, and it goes without saying, that If it is finally reported to the senate for action It will not be without many and possibly vital modifications. Those who opposed the creation of a special federatel commission for the packers alone put forward the suggestion that the authority and the powers conferred tn the bill be given to the federal trade commission, a body which has been ruthless indeed in its prosecution of the alleged “malefactors of great wealth.” THOUGHT SENATE WILL OPPOSE TRANSFER. It is not anticipated that tho bill would gain favor with tbe conservative element, in the senate particularly, by the mere transference of Us powers to the federal trade commission. It may indeed be frankly stated that this move would render its passage even more difficult. For one thing, the commission is now under investigation, a special committee having been appointed to idnqulre into charges made by Senator Watson, republican of Indiana, to the effect that ita Chicago offices were a regular cave of Abdullah for radicals of all kinds, soms of them high employes, when it was en--Inv,eßtigation of the packers. The point of this Is that whether these charges are right or wrong the fact that an investigation is in progress will make the senate much more chary of putting •j* n entire Industry under its control and Indicates considerable antagonism to that body. The bill will undoubtedly be modified in committee, but whatever changes are made it is entirely safe to predict that It has a hard road to travel. A more or less cursory survey of the senate indicates strong opposition to the creation at the present time of more governmental bodies, and equally strong Is the sentiment of opposition to the control of Industry by the government. This sentiment exists and must be reckoned with. Supporters of the Kenyon-Kendrick hill had hoped that the elimination of the licensing feature would go a long way to down the opposition to it. This lc not so, however, the proposed powers of the live stock commission being considered by many senators as effective as any licensing provise could be. •SENATORS FEAR TO ESTABLISH PRECEDENT. It is, however, on the question of the principle involved that the greatest opposition is expected to be encountered.
