GRAHAM, N.O:, July 1, J1926.
"Constructive Economy" Construed
Joseph W. Byrns of Tennessee,
ranking minority member of the
House Appropriations Committee
and one of the best informed men
of the United States on govern
mental expenditures, lias made
the following statement:
"Whpn t lie diree or of the bud
get, reviewing the economies of
tli i administration in his annual
message published a few days ago,
admitied 'there is yet much to be
done,' there was an echoing 'Amen'
from every student of government
and governmental expenditures.
"A statement 10 the effect, that
the liscal year I ( J2G was another
period in which the policy of econ
omy moved forward in enconran-'
ing fashion is truly a high-sound
ing one but it is'more truly a trite
statement —and a ridiculous one
in the ace of the facts. While I
agree with General Lord, the
Director of the lludget, that there
is yet much to be done I am afraid
to hope—and I ain encouraged in
this fear by a statement made by
the President last winter at a bus
iness meeting of government em
ployees. He told them: 'We can
not anticipate further appreciable
reduction in the total annual ex
penditure for the business of
government.' »
"At the time the President
made this spoech I said ou the
lioor of the House that I was At H
Joss to understand just why he
chose the words 'further reduc
tion,' pointed out that there - has
been no reduction whatsoever
since he was elevated to his
present office, and showing in
stead that the cost of peace time
operation has steadily increased
—and this in spite of enormous
inevitable reductions brought
about by the cessation of war ac
tivities and agencies.
"The Director of the budget is
■a splend.d man. I have a warm
■affection and'high regard for him,
but lam not uumindful of the
:fact that he is the direct and per
' sonal appointee of the President;
that he does not dictate the poli
cies of the administration and it is
tint natural at this time when Con
gressional elections are in the off
ing that ho shoyld so heartily
commend the policies of his Chief.
"There was appropriated at the
last, session of Congress for the
fiscal year 1927, $4,409,000,000,
and this hoge sum was considera
bly less than requested by the
president in his budget estimates
tand message to Congress. The
sum is far greater than the appro
priation made at any session of
Congross since 1921, and in that
year the government was spending
over a billion dollars more than
at the present time on an army
»nd navy which had not vet been
■demobilized from war strength
and $700,000,000 more ou the
railroad administration. The ap
propriations for 1927 are $4'0,000-
000 more than they were at the
preceding session. '
"General Lord says that with
out the effort of the budget and
the President the cost of govern
ment would have soared much
higher. Congress reduced the es
timates of the budget and the
President more than six million
dollars for 1927 and during the
years the budget has been in
operation, beginning with 1923,
Congress has cut th&feudget esti
mates in the aggregate sum of
$351,428,912 (a sum almost iden
tical with the amount of reduction
carried in the last revenue bill.)
"One is sometimes discouraged
to see news stories continually
carrying statements as to the
economies effected by the present
Chief Exepntive, and one often
wonders whether the people are
.really interested in seeing the
truo picture. But Ido not bejjeve
iit is possible to fool the people for
Jong. This is evidenced QOW" by
** the fact that we are no longer be
ting lulled by stories of the great
areducjions la. expenditures but
.are now being assured that xhe
• economy of the Chief Executive
.is "consroctive"—a term which
may mean anything and whicb in
this instance is an effort to explain
away the increasing cost of the
government under this adminis
»tration.\
"The method of Republican
Jeaders in making comparisons of
expenditures under this and the
former Democratic administration
is unfair, and ridiculous. The
Ilardiug-Coolidge administration
went, into office in 1921 on a prom
ise a regime ol' economy and
J/here has been an unceasing pro
paganda to bolster up and make
good their promise. But the
facts show that their administra
tion has enormously increased ex
penditures over any preceding
period save when the country was
at war. The appropriations for
the three liscal years, 1925, 192G
and 1927, after eliminating the
increased appropriations made
necessary to pay the interest on
the public debt aud debt retire
, inents, exceed those of the three
peace years of the Wilson admin
istration, the fiscal years 1914 5 au
1910, by $4,201,381,000, an aver
erage increase of one and one
third billiou dollars a year."
Scientific research is the bnsis
of progress. Dr. B. W. Wells of
State College,has found that cran
berries will grow in the great sa
vanna regions of southeasternCav
olina. v .
Tom Tarheel says a salesman
wanted him to spend his first
tobacco check for a new net of
lightning rods but the wife want
ed watev in the home and she won
out.
Cotton farmers in eastern Car
olina appear indifferent to out
breaks of boll weevils, in their
fields, report counfy agents of the
extension service.
Tom Tarheel sayS he saved lots
of money on his poultry last win
ter by taking out the hens that
didn't lay and selling them dur
ing the « arly fall.
Some farmers are finding a
thirty-five percent infestation of
boll weevil in their cotton fields.
It is not yet too late for the weev
il to do damage.
Tom Tarholl says that having
something to sell from the far in
each week has helped him through
many a tight place.
