CONGRESS INTENDS
TO APPROPRIATE
BILLIONS
CAMPAIGN PROMISES OF CUT IN
EXPENSES WERE MADE ONLY
FOR PLATFORM.
Washington, Dec. 29.-(Special.)
When Thomas B. Reed was speaker of
the house he startled the country by
calling attention to the fact that the
appropriations of a previous congress
had exceeded one billion dollars. Had
Reed lived until now, his then start
ling announcement would seem tame
indeed when one considers that con
gresses nowadays are rapidly ap
proaching the three-billion dollar
mark. It now requires more. than
$3,000,000 to run this government
every day in the year, Sundays not
excepted, and from present appear
ances the figures will steadily, and
rapidly, increase instead of diminish.
For the current year ending June
30, 1914, congrbss appropriated $1,100,
000, which sum does not include some
68 or 70 millions to be expended on
contracts previously authorized. Esti
mates sent to congress this month to
cover expenses for the next fiscal
year aggregate over $1,800,000, and
when the various miscellaneous ap
propriations are added to this the total
will not fall far short of the two-bil
lion mark for the one year. As the
"billion dollar congress" to which a
former speaker referred covered ap
propriations for two years, it will he
seen by doubling the above figures
that the present congress cannot be
justly called a piker) to say the least.
Someone will say that the Panama
canal expense is about over, and that
has been a heavy expense to Uncle
Sam. While the initial expense of the
big ditch is about paid, the outlay for
maintenance and erection of forts and
coast defense stations there will be
enormous. Congress expects soon to
make large appropriations for good
roads, for federal aid to agricultural
extension work, federal aid to mining
end other industries. It is discussing
the advisability of taking over the
telegraph, telephone and railway lines.
Every department is planning to ex
tend and enlarge its scope-all of
which will greatly increase appropri
stions.
With the democratic party in full
control of the government and its ap
propriations of money, it becomes ap
parent that while criticism directed
tgainst the "outrageous appropria
ions" may have been good campaign
)ratory, they were founded largely on
iction. The extravagant appropria
ion of public moneys is entirely non
partisan and no more to be stopped
han the tides. The fact that this
noney is collected through federal
'evenues in an indirect manner makes
the people feel it less, it is said, and
here is little complaint except at
campaign time. The fact that the
)resent tariff duties will not meet the
mxpense of government, and that
arger sums must therefore be col
ected directly from the people through
he income tax, is expected to cause
L wail later.

BRIDE AND GROOM WANTED.
Hamilton| Dec. T9.-(.pecial.)-If
there is a couple in the Bitter Root

Another bride and groom is wanted so
that the record can be smashed.
BIIREAU OF PARKS
WiLL NOT COME
JUST NOW
OPPOSITION IS STRONG AGAINST
ANY SUCH ACT AT THE
PRESENT TIME.
Washington, Dec. 29.-(Special.)
Recent efforts to revive the plan for
the creation of a bureau of national
parks, discussed during a previous
congress, will probably fail in the
present congress. Recently the house
public lands committee met with vari
ous officials of the departments in
terested and informally discussed the
matter.. As near as can be learned
from this meeting, the committee will
not favor the introduction of a bill
at this time.
Objection to the plan to create a na
tional park bureau comes from those
who call attention to the fact that it
would result in greatly increased ex
pense in administration, and in view
of the concern given to the total ap
propriations of the present congress,
such proposed additions are not in
favor. While it is conceded that the
creation of a separate bureau would
increase the efficiency of national
park administration, it is pointed out
that it would entail much additional
expense and the creation of another
large federal bureau. Opponents of
the plan point to the forestry bureau
'as an illustration of what would fol
low favorable action on the park plan.
This bureau, it was stated in the be
ginning, 'would .require only a limited
number of employes and would soon
become self-sustaining. To date, the
forestry bureau is one of the largest
in the government service, and the
annual appropriation is in the neigh
borhood of $7,000,000.

WOULD SET ASIDE VERDICT.
Hamilton, Dec. . 29.-(Special.)-C.
M. Parr, attorney for the defendant
in the case of C. S. Freshwater against

cided in favor of the plaintiff, has
filed a motion asking that the findings
of the jury be set aside and new ones
adopted by the court. The proposed
findings make it appear that no spe
cified time for the lease was agreed
to orally by the defendant and that
the plaintiff had not always paid his
rent of $75 a month in advance.
APETROLEI l LANDS
ARE THE SUBIECT
OF DISPUTE
CASE BEFORE SUPREME COURT
INVOLVES PRESIDENT'S
RIGHT TO WITHDRAW.
Washington, Dec. 29.-(Special.)-A
most important case to the entire west
will be taken up in the United States
supreme court early in January. It
is the case of the United States vs.
the Midwest Oil company, and others.
'and involves the validity of an order
made by President Taft Septembk
27, 1909, withdrawing from location
or entry large areas of petroleum
lands belonging to the I'nited States
in Wyoming and Caiifrnia. The
purpose of the withdraw.-i was to re
serve an adequate suppi' of fuel oil
for the future use of ihe navy and
to aid proposed legislat',n whereby it
iwas expected that important changes
would be made in the terms upon
which petroleum deposits could be ac
quired by private Interests.
The order was made at a time when
much excitement had dtvcloped, par
ticularly in California, ox\r the strikes
which had been made :n oil. There
was a strong speculative movlement to
gain control of large areas of public
land of demonstrated, ." probable,
value for petroleum, ani mnany loca
tions of such lands were ibing made
under the petroleum play xi law, which
does not limit the nunmner of claims
Which an individual or a, corporation
may locate. The president's order was
very generally disregarded, and much
of the land included, part licuarly those
portions known to be of high value.
has since been entered ipon and is
now being claimed by vaenous individ
uals and corporations. rhe value of
the subject-matter dependtrit upon the
decision in this case is ver great. The
defendants contend that the order of
the president was void because at
'he time when it was n; Ie there was
no statute which expreasly authorized
the president to withdra v the lands.
It is the government's contention that
the practice of making ,uchl with
trawals for public purpose. is of long
standing and has frequentih been rec
ognized by acts of congress as legal:
that the existence of thii authority
is not inconsistent with Ith petroleum
mining law, and that the exercise of
it is justified on 'constitutional
grounds.
The present case arose in W.yoming,
buti the principles which control it
will control the cases t; I'alifornia
as well.

LANE TAKES STEP
TO PROTECT
RADIUM
WOULD HAVE PRESIDENT WITH
DRAW ALL LANDS SUSPECTED
OF CONTAINING ELEMENT.
Washington, Dec. 9.--Secretary
Lane proposes to w\ithdraw all lails
of the public domain suspected of
containing radium that these precious
deposits may be secured for the gen
eral good and not become the subject
of private speculation. Mr. Lane out
lined his plans in a letter today to
Chairman Foster of the house mines
committee, urging immediate passage I
of int joint citgre.sionrei roesHlution tio
eilpower 'residlent. WVilson to make
thile iuthirawiail.

of raditlm-llealring ores in such man

radium for tho usie of the govern

"In view of the value In the treat
I nlitnt of canc-er and the difficulty now
explieriencedt ill obtaining it," Secretary
Lamto, says, "that, as one person in
every teno itn this e:iintry more thati

,iifficult to over-estimate the neces
nity for setiring immcdliatelv as
large a supplyt as possible of this
mysterious remledy."
(',Ittill lilg, the secretary says:
"Iiliunl is fo-tund in ores cnrryin,
tirnitoiln aind v-anadilm., which are
used extensively in the arts and pro
cesses by which it Is extracted are
secret. A process has been invented
by the chemists in our bureau of
mines which promises, from the lab
oratory experiments thus far made,
to be successful. UInder the endow
ment of two Americans -t building is
now being erected in Denver (which,
with its equipment, will be opened for
work in the cong.ln February) in
which an effort will be made to prove
the commerc.al possibility of this
Amer:can process. If successful this
process will be given to the world,
and all of the radium secured over
and above a small minimum will be
the property of the United States and
will be put into the hands of the
e'nlted :tates public health service
for public use."
