dow the Western Members Have Fared
In the ReOrQauizatiOn

How the Western Members Have Fared
In the Reorganization.
Washington, D. c., Dec 22.-Nothing
has been made public in regard to COM
mittee assignments, and of course the
younger members of the senate will
have to take a back seat. 1t is believed
Perkins of California will go to the ap-
preparations committee; Squire and Nc
Bride to commerce; Dubois, chairman
of committee on public lands; Petit
grew, chairman committee on Indian
affairs. Senator Wilson's assignments
will, as far as can be ascertained, be In
dian affairs, public lands. mines and
mining, with craftsmanship of the COM
mittee on Indian depredations. The
northwest could have had some one on
foreign affairs, but no one from west of
the Missouri made application for 1t,
strange as 1t may seem.
Carter will get the craftsmanship of
the committee on relations with Can
ada, and also a place on the interstate
commerce committee; Perkins the
craftsmanship of fisheries. and Squire
the craftsmanship of Notifications. The
west has control of Indian affairs and
public lands.
The membership of the committee on
appropria tons will be increased from
nine to 10, also the committees on com
merce, military and naval affairs and
possibly foreign relations.
