PROTEST. OF TIE MINORITY.
The following is the protest which Nj. Cox presented,
signed by twcnty-eignt members:
The undersigned members Of the XLVth Congress pro-
test against tie passage OF the substitute reported by
Mr. Reagan, of Texas, to House Dl 4,2@o' making
appropriations for tine construction, repair preservation
ana completion OF certain pubnc works on rivers and
harnors, and for other purposes, Tor the following
reasons ~ ,. -, 49,, ,
a.. 293 200, and OF such large amount That the
rules TINS House should not be suspended 10 facilitate
rs passage without debate and consideration.
SecOHd-An our rules, and especially rule III specially
poycment Intended to guard against vote IN gross
on such appropriations, ana require Tor wise purposes
separate votes on cach item under certain conditions We
protest against the niracOu Ot 50 sautary rule IN
bill where the tendency " combine lor general spoha
Third-The right OF the House of Representatives TO
consider appropriations in Committee Of tho Whole |
House. at least IN the House Itself should be sacredy
prutet ted. THIS suspension OF the rule depriycs this
House its traditional privilege and thus encourages
similar RAIDS upon the Treasury 10 gratiy local Inter
csts.
FOtrth-The eighth section OF the first article 81 the
Constitution. To regulate commerce among the several
States" In virtually aDrOgalcd, and the very authority
under which our legislation Is condueleds dehod by
BIZ OF this nature which appruprlatcs money Tor I'M
proyement rivers located wholly within particl-
lar state aud OF national Importance. In time Of
geucral eprcssiOu with the Treasury threatened
with deficit 1t Is mwisc aud unjur' To the taxpayers
place such burden as TINS bi proposes upon them
