CANNON DERIDES
M'ADOO'S FINANCE
Let President Forget Ezekie
and Con Lesson of Prod?

?TNl?. Tat? TtrBawa? Ilurrau ]
Washington, Dec. 3. The ghosts o:
millions that were in the Treasury ir
the old Republican days, but whicl
have long since been dissipated b]
Democratic extravagance, are now beinf
counteil by Secretary of the Treasur;
McAdoo to make an appearance of pros
perity that is not, according to I'ncl?
Joe Cannon, one of the ' freshman'
member? of the House of Representa
three. Uncle Joe thinks the practice 11
something like voting tombstones.
"Mr. Kitchin. who will be at the hear
of the committee which has to lin?
revenue, and Mr. McAdoo, who is th?
chief spender, do not agree as to th?
"assets." said Mr. Cannon. "Mr. Kitchir
Andl a deficit, Mr. McAdoo a surplus. 1
have known such disagreements in fam?
ilies, where th? provider and the spend?
ers look at the bank account from dif?
ferent angles, but it is not common foi
two great administration leaders to
take such radically opposing views aa
to a fact.
"The Treasury either has a surplus
or it has a deficit, and the party in
power ought to make the situation
clear to the country before it asks the
minority party to cooperate on a plan
to spend millions of money which may
not be in existence.
"Three years ago the administr?t.on
did not consult Republicans about the
reduction of taxes. They made their
tariff bill iti secret caucus and bound
their members to vote for it without
amendment of any kind from the floor.
* "There was the beginning of this
muddle. Secretary McAdoo cnased the
surplus left in the Treasury by Repub?
licans until it died from utter exhaus?
tion. He is now chasing its ghost, and,
according to Mr. Kitchin, the Secretary
i? seeing old Republican ghosts when
he talks ?bout a surplus.
"Preparedness ought to have been
provided for by maintaining a bank ac?
count to meet extraordinary expendi?
tures. The Republicans left such n bank
account, but it has been dissipated in
the same way the Prodigal Son disposed
of hi? surplus. The President has evi?
dently forgotten that parable and has
turned to Esekiel, the most pessimis?
tic prophet of the Old Testament.
"He might have found a better quota?
tion from the old Roman, Tacitus, who
said: 'The peace of nations cannot be
secured without arm?, nor arms with?
out pay, nor pay without taxes.' The
whole argument is there, especially In
the last two clauses. Preparedness can?
not be without pay, nor pay without
taxas."

CLOTURE LOST,
BACKERS FEAR
Caucus Action To-day Not
Expected to Bind
Democrats.
FORCE BILL STILL
HAUNTS THE SOUTH
Opponents of National Child
Labor Laws Fight Move?
Owen Plan in Disfavor.
;i-"r"m TV MtSBBI BJBVSSt I
Washington, Dec. t, 1'nanimou?
consent to a vote on cl?ture at 5
o'clock to-morrow afternoon wa?
reached just befor adjournment sftSI
an all-day session by the caucus of
the Senate Democrats. The caucus ac
tioi, now insured for to-morrow, is not
expected to bind nil Democratic S?*na
tors present to vote for the cl?ture
plan. There probably will be a -ep
arate vote on that question, which, in
the opinion of many, even among those
who favor a mild form of cl?ture, will
be strongly against any binding action.
The strongest opposition to the i'i'ii
of cl?ture come.? from the Southern
Senators, who are afraitl that if the old
emergency specific should be
away they might some day, when the
Republican.? are again in power, have
ai.other Force bill to combat. They
ave never forgotten that it was a loi.g
filibuster, engineered by the lute Sena?
tor Arthur Pue Gorman, of Maryland,
which defeated that bill.
Senator Smith, of South Carolina,
was one of those who expressed this
fear at to-day's caucus. Other South?
ern Senators, among them Vardaman,
of Mississippi, have no fear of this
issue at all. On the contrary, Mr.
Vardaman toitl his colleagues that the
day was coming when the word "white"
would be placed before "men" in the
Constitution, and the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth amendments repealed.
There also is opposition to the clot
ure proposal from Southern Senators,
who do not wish Congress to pass any
national child labor bills.
All except a few of the friends of
cl?ture were rather discouraged to?
night at the situation. Without bind?
ing action from the caucus, which is
hardly expected, the Democrats op?
posed to cl?ture will be at liberty to
tight it on the floor, and unless several
Republican Senators join the cl?ture
advocates there apparently will be a
majority against cl?ture in the whole
Senate.
Oni of the reasons foi the gloom of
the friends of cl?ture is that it is ap?
parent that the Owen plan of holding
that the Senate has no rule.? until it
adopts them evidently lack- a major?
ity. It is sure that no Republican
Senator Svould vote for this, since that
would mean that the Democrats would
be able to put through any form of
cl?ture that might be agreed on.
The essence of the plan is that the
Senate, if once assumed to have BO
rules, would operate under Jefferson's
Manual until rules were adopted. Jef?
ferson's Manual provide? for a mo?
tion of previous question, under which
a filibuster ngain?t the adoption of
the new rule?, including cl?ture, could
be ended whenever the majority o
wished.

Congratulations
During the weck now ending celebrations have been held in
many places in recognition of the extent to which electricity
contributes to the industrial supremacy, the general welfare
and the prosperity of our country
This week also marks the close of the great Panama-Pacific
Exposition, with its wonderful illuminations and where elec?
tricity in countless ways has shown how, in the public service,
it enters into every phase of modern life
New York has an electrical service which in variety and extent
exceeds that of anv city of the World. It is intended for every
one, whether the want'be large or small. It is for the greatest
structure using thousands of lights and horse-power, to the
smallest consumer with a single lamp or a fractional horse?
power. The standard for the largest is the standard for the
smallest ? and for all
Our congratulations are extended to those who have io IUC
cessftllly brought to the attention of the public this great
modern agent of universal service? to those, who with their
inventive and industrial skill, have provided the ways and
methods and the myriads of appliances through which elec?
tricity is made available for every purpose ?and to the public
to whom electricity is ever becoming a more useful and effi?
cient servant
