...soft-sheed but sternsouled guardians who prowl the purlieus of the examination rooms, their cost for the past two semesters of 1926-27 amounted to $3.053.50. The monitors' price, if may be seen, approaches very nearly three times the stationery expense. Some rapid calculation demonstrates the entire outlay as $5.316.35 per College annum...
...looming cost of Flood Control, however, was only one source of worry to President Coolidge last week. The end of the Congressional session was approaching,* and with it the last-moment votes for all manner of Federal outlay. Senator Smoot was going slowly with the Revenue Act and its $200,000,000 or so reduction of taxes. Some said his motive was to delay the Senate's vote on the Boulder Dam bill. But in the light of an announcement by Representative Snell of New York, trusted Administration man, it looked as though President Coolidge's ever-quick...
...fund, and told Congress that a $225,000,000 tax cut would be safe if Congress would keep closely to the Treasury's budget figures. Up to last week Congress had already gone $25,000,000 beyond the budget figures, and still had to make a flood-control outlay of perhaps $40,000,000. From these facts Treasury experts predicted that a tax cut surely no greater than $225,000,000, perhaps of only $220,000,000, perhaps of no more than $180,000,000, and perhaps no tax cut at all, would be recommended instead...
Work Half-Done. Outstanding upon the 70th Congress's list of good intentions when it met were eight measures, varying from a flood control outlay to radio legislation. Of these eight intentions, four had been debated, three passed by one or other of the houses and five not yet acted upon by either house, up to last week. The half-done work was as follows...
...civilian engineer to be appointed by the President, on a board of three (with the president of the Mississippi River Commission) to oversee the work. However, the Jones bill called for $325,000,000, or some 31 millions more than the discarded Administration bill. It called for all this outlay from the U.S. Treasury, local communities contributing only one third of the costs of raising old levees to their proper level, and the land for new levees. Congressmen from States watered by the Mississippi's tributaries, which the Jones bill did not benefit, were bridling and bickering. To spur...
