best be accomplished.

MIR. swANsoN's CLAIM.


The first called up was a. bill 10 pay
Representative Claude A. Swanson, OF
Virginia, s1.769. the amount OF expenses
contest in excess OF the $4,000 allowed
by law.
Mr.. Swanson's seat was contested in
the last Congress. but the House twice
refused to consider the case.
Mr.. Otey (Virginia) urged precedents
in support of the claim.
Mr.. Crumpacker Undiana) opposed
the bill. falling to see any reason to
make an exception to the policy in such
cases. Some Of the Democrats, he said,
had favored the abolition of any allow
ance on the ground that the allowance
to contestants fostered contests. but he
thought the law should stand until
there were fair elections in the South.
But bad precedent should not be
made by paying this claim in excess or
$1,000.
Mr.. Burke (Texas) supported the
claim He thought in all justice the
expense 10 which Mr.. Swanson had
been put should be refunded to him. He
denounced the law which gave CON
testants $1,000 whether they were seat
ed or not. 1t placed a premium upes,
wildcat contests. Since the law had
been passed 167 contests had been filed
in the House.
After some further debate the advo-
Gates of the bill agreed to It's Withdraw
AL six bills of minor importance were
then passed and at 4:4O p. m. the
House adjourned.

sive vote of &c to IL.
Mr Jones. of Arkansas. Withdrew 8

and that proposition. therefore, did no.

the bill were fruitless.

he declared that great storm had
ragged in Porto Rico, and likewise n
great storm was raging in this country.
the cause OF the latter being the ac-
ton OF the House on the Porto Rican
question He said there was now u
strenuous effort on the part OF the Re
publicans to get out OF this storm. and
The bin now proposed was the means
they were employing to land safely.
lie declared that the course OF the
government toward the people OF the
island and not the hurricane, had par-
alyZed the industries of Porto Rico
The remedy was II reversal of the NO
ton OF the Government and authority
for the Porto Ricans to bring their
products here free OF duty and letting
them buy and sell wherever they might
please.
The course We have pursued toward
these people, said Mr. Jones, lis
wrong and indefcnsible. What the
Porto RicanS want is not charity, but
justice. 1t is perfectly evident that the
prostration of affairs on the island is
due TO the high taxes with which the
people there are afflicted

under the military government in 1--cto
Rico. all food products, farm imple-
ments, and many other useful and ne
cessary articles. were admitted free OF
duty. Mr.. Allen asked what rates OF
duty the goods Of Porto Rico were now
paying in the United States.
They are paying the rates fixed by
the Dingley act" replied Mr. Allison
The bill we shall pass FOR Porto Rico
will be liberal and just to all
Mr.. Jones inquired where the money
came from that was being expended
in Porto Rico now. and had been eX-
pended heretofore.
Mr. Foraker replied that large
amount had been expended from the
war emergency fund. and that some
had been expended from customs re-
ceipts.
