' This fact is set, forth in minute detail bv Senator Lee Overman (Dem. N. CLr\ in a public statement. Sena. tor Overman is the ranking minority > . member of tfb -Senate Appropriat' ions ,-Ccmmitfec, and his purpose in isgiphg the statement is to refute the distorted and untruthful statements sent out by Republican propag anoints of alleged great savings, an ! . economies of the Harding- administration. These statements are wilful' ^ ly mendacious and are designed hot to inforni the public, but to. "deceive it. to fcol it, to try to make a.monkey of the average, citizen who haS not the'thne or inclination to study or analyze government. finances. What Senator Overman means, by lcgitmate expenses ,of. the government 4s t^ie .expenditures after eliminating all expenditures rpsiiltipg From tf'j war. in order to t>e perrectiy fair to the.

Senntcr Warren T Rep., Wyo4V Chair man of the Senate Appropr; vt'.op? . Committee* has stated tHit the total appropriations for 1923 are $319000.600 less than for 1922 Hut the . "Republican Ohairdan did not add that; greater part of it was oh account . . of ddcr^isinpr hre army and navy and by charging the appropriation for pood roads to the. .Post*! approprU <innB ivhi'-h < r-.nt included in t' rr"'--** list of appropriations,: but which are paid opt of the postal revenue.
