Minority on Appropriations Calls for Honest Budget Reading
Representative Livingston of Georgia, ranking minority member of the House Appropriations Committee, argues that despite large 1900 war-time appropriations, army and navy spending this session exceed last year by 50 million dollars. He notes increases across departments, cites deferred items for the next session such as the Nicaragua Canal and rivers and harbors, and urges that each fiscal year cover its own needs. He points to rising pensions and budget growth across legislative, executive, and judicial branches, despite holdbacks by the Public Buildings and Grounds and Rivers and Harbors committees.
