Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the com It has been charged by the Democrats that we have been mittee, I picked up a copy of last night's Star and in it I found spending money at the rate of $6,000,000,000 a year. Every that the Democratic national committee has begun its campaign body knows that expenditures have nothing to do with the state of vituperation. One of the things said in the first article issued of appropriations. It can well be that appropriations would by tba.t committee is this: not exceed $3,000,000,000 in a given yelir, and yet the The Republican Party in the last campaign promised to reduce Feder:a.l expenditures might be $6,000,000,000. Why? There are taxes. A Republican Congress has increased them, the appropriation obligations pending against appropriations made in past years bills carrying $6,000,000,000 for 1921 and a like amount for 1922 with (which would be $7,500,000,000 by the addition of bonuses).
