THE BEE: OMAHA, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1921.
T A
administration without impairing ef
ficiency, congress has voted more
than $1,000,000,000, chiefly to sub
sidies to private business and agri
culture and has attempted to conceal
the fact from the taxpayers. At the
rate congress is squandering money
he dfeubts that $4,000,000,000 revenue
a year will foot the bills for some
time to come.
Guarantee to Railways.
"Under the transportation act,"
said Mr. Gilbert, "provision was
made for a $300,000,000 revolving
fund for loans to railroads at less
than the market rate. The same act
guaranteed to the railroads a stand
ard return during the period of six
months after the end of federal con
trol. This guaranty may take as
much as $650,000,000 out of -the
treasury. V
"Congress has recently revived the
war finance corporation in order to
make available to the export trade
the funds of that corporation, which
represent either the proceeds of the
treasury's subscription of its 500.
000,000 capital stock or the proceeds
of borrowing by the corporation on
what would be substantially the gov
ernment's credit. '
"A provision has been inserted in
a pending bill to authorize the pur
chase of $200,000;000 of federal land
bank bonds in order to make what
are substantially government loans
to farmers. Notwithstanding the talk
about economy it seems to be ex
pected that the bill will pass. It is

hour is for less government inter
terence with business.
- Urges Direct Appropriation.
'"In the second place, it is absolute
ly essential that for the future the
congress should authorize expendi
tures by direct and specific appro
priations, as contemplated by the
constitution. This jieans that prac
ticej which take- money from the
treasury by indefinite or revolving
fund appropriations must be strictly
avoided. However, necessary these
practices may have been during the
war, they are utterly vicious in peace
time.
"The estimates for the current
year, for example, show that over
$1,000,000,000 of expenditures were
authorized by the last session of con
gress, in addition to the amounts
shown in the usual compiled state
ment of appropriations. In fact the
practice has reached such propor
tions as to be almos a national
scandal, and ,it was vigorously de
nounced in the president's last an
nual message."
