Col. Roosevelt referred to the

"Cheap Politics"
HBUHnMHanMBBMBBMniMilHI
According: to Congressman Webb
Complete Collapse of Gtidger's
Stupid Little Game
Gudger has lost out in his attempt to discredit Con
gressman Grant's good work in obtaining a building and
site for Hendersonville and a site for Waynesville. Gudger
claimed that nothing had been secured because the gov
ernment had not set aside this year's money for next
year's work. Congressman Webb, democrat, irom the
Ninth district, has come out openly against the Gudger
convention and claims that that sort of thing is "cheap
politics.'' Webb says that the buildings authorized in this
year's bill are just-like those authorized by all other bills,
and that everything is all right. This testimony, coming
from a democrat, is interesting.
Mr. Webb's statement is in part as follows:
The public buildings bill apprpv
edJune 25 last, the day congress
adjourned, is just like all other, pub
lic buildings bill. It authorized ap
propriations for various objects and
amounts specified in the bill. : : i
When the public buildings bill
was passed it became a law of the
United States and pledged the gdv
eminent to the , purchase of the
sites and construction of the build
ing mentioned in the act
No public buildings bill ever sets
aside or appropriates the .money
with which to buy sites and construct
postoffices. This is entirely the
province of the appropriation com
mittee, which after the public build
ings bill is passed, always sets aside
or appropriates the money necessary
as fast as the treasury department
calls for it, and this department
only calls for it as fast as it can
use the money. The appropriation
committee cannot set aside a dollar
unless it is authorized by a law al
ready passed, and this is the reason
the public buildings bill must be
passed before the appropriation
committee can set aside or appro
priate any money for a postoffice
building. When the public build
ings bill is passed, a congressman's
work is practically done, for it is
then left to the treasury depart
ment to call on the appropriation
committee for the money to carry
on the work as it is needed.
When money is appropriated or
set aside by the appropriations com
mittee for any particular object, it
cannot be used for any other pur
pose, hence it would have been use
less and poor business to set aside
$23,000,C0O, the amount authorized
in the public buildings, bill, when
one of this amount could possibly
n
be used for six or eight months.
The supervising architect told me
last May lhat he had 95 buildings on
his hands in course of construction
and that he could not reach several
buildings, authorized in the bill two
years ago, for some months yet
Every site and public building au
thorized in4the last public buildings
bill stands on the same basis as the
Charlotte apropriatioiL If $1,000,
000 had been set aside for Charlotte
when the public buildings bill was
passed, the work on the postoffice
building iiere would not begin or be
completedany sooner than it will
junder the terms of the act author
izing the present appropriation
Within ten days after the passage
of the act the treasury department
had advertised in every town where
a site was authorized, for lots on
which to erect a Federal building,
though the bill did not carry the
actual appropriations for this pur
pose; and so the treasury depart
ment is no doubt now preparing to
enter into contracts for the enlarge?
ment, extension, remodeling, or
improvement of the Charlotte post
office building as 'directed' by this
law. The money for the construc
tion of this building will be forth
coming whenever the treasury de
partment reaches the Charlotte
proposition and calls on the appro
priation committee for it The ap
propriations committee will this fall
set aside $50000 forCharlotte if the
department thinks this amount can
be used during the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1911, and the fact that
only $50,000 are set aside will not
prevent the work on the Charlotte
postoffice from going right on as
fast as the treasury department can
push it.
Mr. Webb further quotes the following statement from
Assistant Secretary Hilles of the treasury department:
Answering your inquiry ,as to sites vested in the government and
whether the fact that no appropria
tion was made under the authoriza
tion would delay the actual con-
the depaitment is given authority
to contract for the full amount of
the authorization, whether any ap-
struction of ' tHe''bmldm' you' are , propriation 'has been made or not.
advised that all construction under
the treasury department is taken
up in the order in which the work
is authorized and the titles to the
Therefefore the necessity of having
a large amount of funds tied up
when they may not actually be
used is avoided.
