Washington.--The congressman Tot log through a Mg appropriation bill glibly refers to them as "»he peruia nents and Indefinites." They don't ap pear in the regular tabulation of appropriations for the coming year as reported by the house and senate ap prnpriations committee, says the'Chi cago Tribune. Yet they are going to coqt the taxpayer this year the sum of $i,285,1S)Jr 0-28 and in the next fiscal year of 15>34 the bill will be $113,845,553 larger, or They are indeed the "permanents ^n<l indefinites." for they are the appropriations which go on year after year on the strength of. some psist legislation and' without the necessity of any annual affirmative action-such-Us is required to authorize payment of the regular current appropriations. The biggest pjermanent and indefinite itexiis by;far -in these years of a public debt of more than $20,000,000,- 000 tire, the $725,<W0,U00 to be. required in 1934"to pay interest on the dfbt and the $5n4,tKX),(X)0 required to be written on the books as the annual contribution to the sinking fund established under the Liberty lean acts., v Some Cost Nothing. •Other items, unlike most items in appropriation bills, cost the treasury nothing. Such a one is the $71,000,000 to be taken from premiums on converted veterans' insurance and which are set aside for paymeitt of losses ahd benefits in 1934. Then there are the Incomes from various gifts and donations to governnvent and social enterprises which must be distributed each year. There are revenues from public lands^and national forests and Indian reservations. These may be distributed to starts to compensate for tuxes lost through be-, ing host to nontaxable government property and enterprises. ^In addition'to these forifis of permanent and indefinite appropriations, there are appropi-iations that go on and on just because their backers were once upon a time legislatively clever enough to get them put in this privileged class of government expenditures. There they hide, year after year beyond the reach of economy drl,yes. They are seldom heard of. They "slip -through congress unquestioned and unpruned. Only a repeal of the original authorizing act can touch them. A special house committee in the last congress was delegated to search out these hidden appropriations and drag them into the lightv As chairman Anthony J. (Jriffin of New York explained in his report at the close of the session, he and his committee hud been too busy passing annual appropriations to do anything much in the way of cutting^ the .permanent ones. . . '.v At least they performed the service of getting these appropriations out in a group where they could be seen and considered and the ground work was laid for hearings at which -department heads may be summoned, in Mr. Griffin's words, "to show cause, If any, why the permanent appropriations over which they have jurisdiction should not he repealed or converteds to the status of regular annual appropriations so as to be annually sub. ject to examination and review." Might Review Some Expenses. More than $60,000,000. of the permanent and indefinite sums annually expended might so be reviewed and the department heads who spend the money made to show cause why it should not be put on an annual basik In the economy amendment added to the 1934 post office and treasury appropriation bill an attempt was made to bring the permanents and indefinates Into line by a simple order that all such appropriations should hereafter be on an annual basis. But be-, fore the bill reached its final approval that order was stricken out There is, for example, the permanent appropriation--in the sum of $6,636,460 for 1934--to be paid out in state "subsidies for vocational education. Part of It goes to pay teachers of agricultural subjects, part to teachers of Industrial subjects and home economies, and part to that happy body of bureaucrats, the federal board for vocational education. Another permanent appropriation is the $3,000,000 for meat Inspection by the bureau of animal Industry. Nobody knows why this service should be placed in the permanent category. All in all, there are promising pastures for an economy committee to graze In in the field of the "permanents and indefinites." : Twicc T o l d Tales Item* if ItoteresT Takes Pros t}M Files of the Plaindealer of Years Ago FIFTY YEARS AGO Wm.
