For years, in spite of perfect law enforcement against crooks, grafters, gangsters, and passion murderers, the real, big-shot law-breakers, men who did things on a large scale, have escaped not only with their lives, liberties, and reputations, but with fat fortunes, offices in Wall Street, houses with swimming-pools and hot baths on Long Island, innumerable servants, debutante daughters, jewel-laden side-kicks, clubs with arm-chairs and whiskey, in fact, all the good things in life, as well.

This means that the executive can on his own authority make any appropriations whatsoever, if he can get his hands on a small retaining fee.
