Arizona republican., 1893-12-05

feet has formulated plans ard devised methods of taxation which, as 8 mem- Der of the committee, have not even heard proposed. It is rather unusual sensation to learn of the deeds of the committee not in the committee room, but from the president of the United States. Has that committee ceased in form to be composed of both parties and has it without even the formality of 6 word in the open committee in- formed the president of it's determina- tion in such way that the president can officially communicate it to the house? How long has it been part of our system that the committee of an independent branch and above all, the committee which controls the purse, shall report to congress through the president? Is this result of the rumored blending of the appointive with the legislative power?
 ''It is bad enough to have tariff bill made up by little coterie, but to have it communicated to the president before it reaches even the committee, still less, the house, shows a determi- nation to be moved by no facts and modified by no arguments, which makes an apparent absurdity of ap- pointing Republicans on the commit tee on ways and means at all"
