Mills for Chairman Until He Goes to the

Crisp is ievoting much time to consid-
ering whom he shall place at the head of
the ways and means committee, and it has
been suggested to him that he appoint
Mills TO the position with Springer next
on the list, in the expectation that Mills
will be elected senator when the Texas
Legislature meets. 1t is certain that the
mem bership of the committee will be
largely made up of northern and western
men. 1t has been suggested that the MEM
bership of the committee he increased
from thirteen to fifteen, and this will re-
ceive support from many older members
who believe that too much power is placed
in the hands of too few men.
