Lower House OKs Strict Economy Limit on Appropriations
Richmond Va January 24 The Virginia House of Delegates approved a resolution by 44 to 12 to cap the current session’s appropriations at the 1914 level. The move would hinder new departments and substantial increases, affecting bills for a co ordinate college, a market bureau, welfare office, and other programs unless existing funds are cut. The measure binds only the House, with Senate differences to be settled by conference. The Hudgins bill to curb poaching farm laborers drew fierce debate with charges of class legislation.
