Washington, April -. = The house
could not resist the temptation to in
dulge in political debate as it had no
business on hand. Interest was focused
upon Mr.. Simpson of Kansas, who had
announced a determination to obstruct
any legislation attempted without the
presence of 4 quorum. His policy was
frustrated because the quorum ap-
peared. Mr.. Simpson found an OPP
portunity, however, to reiterate his de-
nunciation of concentration of power
in the speakers hand. In discussing a
motion to adjourn till Wednesday MI.
Bailey, the Democratic leader, said his
party did not desire to urge the Re
publicans to legislate, but did want to
understand their policy. Mr.. Dingley
said that the session was called for a
specific purpose, to provide sufficient
revenue to carry on the government.
The house had acted on that sugges-
ton. AS the committees had not been
appointed there seemed nothing else to
do. Mr.. Simpson said the country was
demanding financial legislation and the
Republican party should be given a
chance to show what it could do, and
should not sit idly for two or three
months. Mr.. Cannon of Illinois denied
the idea that legislation alone could
bring prospe >'ity. The country wanted
congress to provide revenue, then to
adjourn and allow private business en-
terprises to have full sway. Soon after
the house adjourned until Wednesday.
