of manipulating universal sourage is pre-

able evils of violence and anarchy. The

HAYES LOUISIAN A COMMISSIONS
-- PAY ---=-===----

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-There prom
ises to be quite a spirited time in the
House over the item estimated for by the
Treasury Department of four thousand
dollars for the payment of the expenses
of the Presidential Commission which
visited Louisiana last spring. This
amount was originally in the Deficiency
bill, but the Committee on Appropria-
tions of the House have decided to strike
it out. The only possible warrant of
law for this expenditure was found to be
under the head of the Secret Service
fund, but the Committee doubted If the
President had any authority to provide
for the payment from that source, and
they were more clearly of tho opinion
that Congress should not authorize any
payment. The commission was politi-
cal one not authorized by law, its conclu-
sions were not binding in law, and they
in no sense represented anything but the
Presidents views, and merely acted to
him in an advisory capacity.
