Public Servants With Profligate Hands Squander the Peoples Money
Congress wrapped up a session with record civilian expenditures surpassing 1899 and 1898 by tens of millions, while about 11 million is traced to the war with Spain. A rider securing 50 million for the St Louis exposition passed after House and Senate maneuvering. Senate promotions for Miles and Corbin followed, and Bynum’s nomination to New York Board of Appraisers was rejected. The House Judiciary Committee favorably reports an injunction bill to curb labor disputes, and a Dalzell bill to create a commission to examine quack medicine regulation seeks a uniform standard across states.
