went ON CT w llDOlll dcllOIis AIpuSS
then went into Committee of the
Whole on report of the Committee on
Rules.
Mr.. Horr expressed his intention OF
speaking as most members did, on the
part of his committee. The one he rep
resented was the Committee on Manu-
factures, which was almost entirely ig-
nored bv the new rules. 1t had been
created in 1919, while the Committee
on Appropriations was not born until
1865, and vet when his committee had
brought in its first bill in eighteen
years it had been taken away and given
to the Committee on Judiciary. He
thought that most of the committees OF
the House ought to report to the Com
mittee on Manufactures. The great
Committee on Ways and Means GER
tainlv should, because the question
of tariff affected every manufacturing
interest, and should have the benefit of
the wisdom Of the Committee on Man
ufactures. He confessed it staggered
him at first to see why the Committee
on Appropriations should report to his
Committee, until he found that it de-
voted large amount of time to manu-
featuring political riders" Every
such manufactured ''riders" should
first have the revision of the old Com
mittee, and not be decided by this new
founding, the Committee on Banks
and Currency. Now, be wanted to ap-

Congress should pass the bill appro-
priating four hundred and fifty mil
lions of dollars for the benefit of the
soldiers who had been obliged to
take greenbacks during the war, the
question would cease to be ques-
ton of finance and would reduce itself
to question of manufacture, and there
he found clearly the duty of the great
Committee to which he belonged, and
he thought that the Committee on
Banking and Currency ought to be
compelled to report to that committee
for advice in manufacturing machines
to supply this nation with great cir
culating medium Laughter. The
Committee on Pacific Railroads
should also report to it. Also the Com
mittee on Commerce, which ought to
report to the Committee on Approprla-
tions, but TO the Committee on Manu-
factures first. 1t need not be sensitive,
because it would soon get used to 1t.
He was still mad with the Committee
on judiciary for stealing the only bill
his Committee had ever had. He has
had some trouble in discovering how
that Committee was subject to the
Committee on Manufactures, but at
last he had found that it had been In
the habit of manufacturing replies to
veto messages. Now, that was the
clearest case of the lot, and hereafter
such matters should have the supervis-
ing care of the Committee on Manufac-
lures. Now he came to the Committee
on Militia. That was Committee of
which he was proud 1t stood side by
side with the Committee on Manufac-
lures. He would put the two boys
back to back, one looking toward war
and destruction, and the other toward
peace and the building up of waste
places. He then turned his attention to
the Committee on Foreign Affairs and
to its chairman (Cox, of New York;
whom he had followed to Rome, and
Naples, and Venice, and Smyrna, and
Constantinople, and through the aw-
ful majesty of the Alps, in Buckeye
Abroad consequently when he had
come here he had expected to be highly
entertained by the gentleman from
New York. But he had drawn his
seat so far back that when that gentle
man spoke all be could do was to ap-
plaud and laugh and look in the
Record the next day to see if he had
laughed and applauded in the right
place. Laughter.
The Committee on Foreign Affairs
should report to the Committee on
Manufactures, inasmuch as it was en-
gagged in manufacturing criticisms for
the gentleman from New York. lie
next paid his respects to the gentleman
from Pennsylvania (Wright, who at
the head of a committee had gone in
search of general depression last sum-
mer. Laughter. He (Horr) had
studied the history of that search, and
he had followed the committee to Chi
cago. Chicago had been an unfortunate
place to look for general depression"
because every industry there was
'booming." The committee had taken
testimony there for few days, and
had then gently wended its way to
Salt Lake City. 1t was thought that
among the Mormons it would find the
the manufacturing elements at its low
est ebb. Laughtcr). 1t had then
scaled the Sierras, had brought up on
the slope of the beautiful Pacific, and
had there interrogated the "sand lots"
and one convention had had the impu-
dence to nominate his venerable
friend (Wright) for the Presidency
not at his wish, but in spite of it, If
that Committee had come to the Com
mittee on Manufactures for advice-as
it was, the Committee had come back
without finding any depression. The
member from Pennsylvania (Wright)
should have looked at Ohio, among
his Democratic brethren, just after the
election, if he had wanted to find de-
preston. (Laughter). THIS was Sc
rious matter under discussion, and he
hoped justice would be done to the old
time-honored committee which he had
the honor to represent. daughter and |
