Views of
Congress j
By
Dr. A. L. Miller.
M. C.
---—-—4
The House just passed a bill
appropriating money for the op
eration of the Department of Ag
riculture. Many functions of the
Department, some of them neces
sary, have been stricken out on
what is termed “points of order.”
How does this happen, and why?
Well, the House, for many years,
has had a rule made for the pro
tection of the taxpayers that pro
hibits the Committee on Appro
priations from writing new legis
lation into appropriation bills and
thus setting up new functions and
services of government that have
not been considered and provided
for by the appropriate legislative
I committees. According to this
rule, before an appropriation can
be made a law must be passed
providing for the executive ser
vice that will receive the appro
priation. During this administra
tion some of the Departments
have set up many divisions and
services to spend money that have
never been provided for in legis
lation by the Congress. Blanket
appropriations in the past have
provided the funds. Having the
money, many executive agencies
have far exceeded any authority
granted them by Congress. Mem
bers of the House who feel that
the time has come to curb these
agencies are using this rule of a
“point of order” to strike out ap
propriations for them. The mem
bers insist that the Departments
come before the proper Commit
tee and ask legislation setting up
the agency before asking for an
appropriation. When one realizes
how easy it is to set up a new
government agency and how hard
it is to get rid of one, even after
its usefulness has long gone by,
he will understand the position
of these members.
Many of the agencies to whom
funds have been denied on
“points of order” are worthy and
will in the end be provided for.
When the bill reaches the Senate
it can be amended and many of
the appropriations taken out in
the House bill, no doubt, be re
stored. But this action will be
taken only after careful consid
eration by the Senate, both in
Committee and on the floor. Then
it will go to a joint committee of
both houses, where differences
will be ironed out. In this way
the country will have plenty of
opportunity to make its wishes
felt. By having their appropria
tions cut out by "points of order”
executive departments will be
warned that they must go about
it in the regular way to get au
thorization from the Congress be
fore they expand their activities.
While we are on the subject of
the mechanics of Congress it
might be interesting to know that
there are about 80 committees in
the House, 52 of them regular
standing committees and the rest
special committees to do some
particular job. All legislation
must come before one of these
committees for consideration be
fore they are considered by the
House as a whole. Hearings are
held on the proposed bills, testi
mony taken and a record is pub
ilshed for the benefit of other
members of the House or any in
terested party. The record of the
hearings on the Agriculture Ap
propriation bill mentioned above
covered 1.802 printed pages. Ev
erything that was said in the way
of testimony and argument is re
corded in this report. The hear
ings on the appropriation bill for
the District of Columbia covers
629 pages.
Some interesting things were
brought out in the debate in the
House on this bill. Washington
now has a population of over
850,000 people of which 30% are
colored. One can hear every lan
guage in the world spoken on its
streets, and you can hear the En
glish language spoken in ways
you cannot understand. Although
real estate taxes are lower than
in any other city of its size, rents
and other items in the cost of liv
ing are about as high as you find
them anywhere,
We would remind you again to
ask us for the list of Farmer’s
Bulletins that are available for
distribution. Here are some of the
titles that might be interesting:
No. 1673, Farm Gardens; No. 1044,
The City Home Garden; No. 1371,

Where Will Money
Come From?
People ask: "Where will the
money come from?” to reach
the thirteen-bllllon dollar ob
jective of tfle Second War
Loan. The answer is simple.
The people HAVE the income.
Wlien we produce munitions
or peacetime goods, or any
thing else, we likewise produce
Income. For every dollar of
production, there is a dollar of
Income.
The problem of war finance
boils down to this—If individu
als and businesses receive more
income after taxes than there
are things produced for them
to buy, then excess funds arise.
The government deficit is
matched by the combined sur
plus of everybody else. This
surplus should be put into Gov
ernment securities to wipe out
that deficit.
They give their lives . . . You
lend your money.

No Need to Spend More
For Shoes, Just
Because
They’re Rationed
When a limit is set on what we buy of anything, we decide at once
to use our precious ration tickets for the BEST we can buy.
But the best does not mean the most expensive. In shoes, for in
stance, there’s no need to pay more than Penney shoe prices.
Penney shoe quality has proved itself, regardless of price, over
many, many years, with millions of customers.

Take our men’s dress shoes, for instance. The leathers are selected
with the painstaking care you would expect in shoes costing much
more. We use the same constructions as you find in expensive shoes.
And the workmanship, down to the last stitch, is superbl
Is there any reason, then, to pay more for your shoes than you pay
at Penney's?

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...
“You can’t imagine, Judge, how much com
fort Louise and I got out ol reading that
recent report made by the government on
drinking habits in and around Army camps.
If you hadn't Ipaned us your copy we’d still
be worrying about our Jim...all because
of those silly rumors goin’ around.”
“I’m mighty glad to hear that. John.
As the report says, no Army m American
history has been so orderly, so well-behaved.
so well-trained. Why. even on pay-night,
there’s very little drinking done. 1 was
particularly interested in that part which
said the Army, with an eye to its own
problem, usually prefers to have its camps
in wet communities rather than dry com
munities because wet communities can be
regulated . . . dry communities with their
bootleggers can't. It’s just more prool that
prohibition does not prohibit."
