ISSUE REGARDING

HEARING HEAD
. . .
Witnesses Before House In
vestigating Committee Tell
Of Huge Expenditures
During Last 90 Days.
thlfiMru Tribiiut-Omalia Iter Lraurd Wire.
Washington, March 9. The issue
between the republican leaders, in
congress and the 'War department
over continuing purchases of enor
mous quantities of war material out
of current appropriations in peace
tune is soon to be brought to a head.
Army witnesses before house com
mittees investigating war expendi
furcs abroad are telling of contracts
let. within the last 90 days for num
bers of' expensive trucks, chemical
warfare, supplies, artillery equip
ment, soldiers' shoes and other sun
dry articles in quantities seemingly
far in excess of the needs of the
new standing army of 300,000 men.
Coming on top of the testimony
of the same witnesses of recent sales
in France and this country of all
these things in staggering amounts
because declared surplus- stock fof
which . the army had no further
need, the puzzled chairmen of the
committees are amazed and are in
troducing resolutions asking Secre
tary Baker for information and ex
planation of his policy.
Thinks Purchase Scandalous.
Representative Bland of Indiana,
who has done this with regard to
the buying in January of 73 "milli
meter tractors" at a cost of $600,
000, asked' Maj. ' Gen. (A. -W. Burr,
director of purchase, if he did not
think it was scandalous when the
country was groaning from taxa
tion to spend this amount for trac
tors when he had testified that the
War department had a lot- of trucks,
after selling abroad and giving
ay.ay millions of dollars worth of
other- departments,' that would do
the work of the millitor just be
cause it was new-fangled and a little
more up-to-date.
The general thought that was
reason enough. The country might
be-hard up, but the army, he as
serted, should never be allowed to
get behind the times and he was
sure that if this had been done
previous to the great war the coun
try would have saved money.

Tax Reduction Suggestion
Washington, March 9. The sug
gestion of William G. McAdoo,
former secretary' of the treasury,
that a reduction of $1,000,000,000 in
federal taxes be made immediately
and that bonds be issued to cover
this amount, was attacked in the
senate by Senator Kellogg, republi
can, Minnesota. The senator ex
pressed surprise that "people were
even taking the suggestion se
riously." "Mr. McAdoo, no doubt truly rep
resents the opinion of Wall street
speculators," he said, "but the finan
cial and business men ot the coun
try understand the absurdity of his
suggestions. Th6 only thing this
congress can do to reduce taxes is
td get dow n to the bedrock basis
of economy. Nobody has , added
more to the government's expenses
in the past than Mr. McAdoo. His
idea of finance has always been to
pay a debt by issuing a new bond."
