Washington, June 2S-Mr. Beck Dem. Ky)
from the Committee on Appropriations, reported
bill making appropriations to pay fees for Uni
ted States Marsbals and their general deputies.
Mr. Window REP. Mimi showed that by sec
tiOn 202i the Marshal on the request of citiz ms,
is obliged to appoint special deputies to aid ,u.
pervisors. This bill makes 1t q penal Offense for
q Manhal to obey the law. In view Of these
facts, he said, there was not parallel in our his
tory for tuch measure. It was notification of
the bssest possible naure.
Mr. Logan (Rep. ILL., wished to enter his pro.
test against the bill. The appointment Of Super,
visors would be cut off by this bill regardless Of
the permanent appropriation for their pay. The
bill antagonSed the theory Of our Government,
which was tnat the laws should be ObeYed. The
logical result would be that the people would
learn to obey only laws that pleased them, aud
dsoOey al others. The country would thus be.
come Mexicanized.
Afier further debate, Mr.. Allison (Rep. Iowa)
moved TO strike out the clause making 1t penal
ofense to violate any OF the provisions of the bill
or OF various sections OF the Revised Statutes He
oil jtced on principle to attaching uch clauses tn
Dil OF this character. Ri jected- Yeas, IA;
