PROCEEDINGS OF
HOUSE AND SENATE
Senator Collom Talks of Rec
iprocity Treaties.
HE cRITcIsEs THE DINeLEY ACT

Bill Providing For Use BY United
States Of Certain Devices invented
BY Naval Officers and Covered By
Letters Patent Passed.
washington, Jan. 29.-At the concIu
| Sion OF routine business in the senate
TO-DAY bill providing for the use by
the United States of devices invented
oy It's naval officers while engaged in
It's service and covered by letters OF
patent was passed.
Mr. CullOm, Of Illinois, then address.
ed the senate on the constitutionality
OF that portion OF the Dingley act
which authorized the negotiations of
reciprocity treaties. He said that the
wording OF the provision was peculiar
and mixed, but it seemed plain that all
treaties negotiated must have been
made and ratified within two years af-
ter the passage of the act. Therefore
II that act is to control it would be
useless to ratify the Treaties Sena-
tor Cullom cOntinued
In my opinion, the fourth section
OF the Dingley act, so far as it at
tempts to confer, limit or define the
treaty making power, is not only an in
reference with the powers of the pres
ldent and senate, but is uncOnstitu-
tlonaI, because it comes in conflict
with that clause of the constitution
which says that the president shall
have power, by and with the advice
and consent of the senate, to make
treaties We do not, therefore, derive
our treaty making powers from a law
OF congress and no law of congress can
in any way modify or limit those pow
ers. The Dingley act cannot limit the
time in which we shall be allowed to
make a treaty"
Mr.. Cullom cOntended that the fourth
section of the Dingley act should be
view of congress, and that the presi-
dent did not need authority to make
the treaties. He entered into a long
discussion of the proceedings of the
constitutional convention relative to
the treaty making power and claimed
er was conferred solely upon the pres
ident and senate.
Mr.. CullOm discussed the provision
of the constitution declaring that bills
for raising revenue must originate in
the house and said that it had not been
definitely settled what was meant by
bills for raising revenue He add
ed:
From the decisions and statements
of Justices Story, Miller and Harlan,
1 cannot see how this class could
make it necessary to submit reci-
procity treaty to the house before it
becomes effective. The language of
the clause is that all bills for raising
revenue shall originate in the house,
and not all bills affecting revenue or
in which revenue may incidentally
arise. A reciprocity treaty is not a
bill 1t is true that it reduces a duty
which has been laid by law, but I
maintain that the treaty making power
has authority to change a tariff law
the same as it has authority to change
any other act of congress, and we
have seen that it has been clearly
held, from the decisions of Chief JUS.
tice Marshall down to the present,
that the president and senate ~ trea-
ty can change or modify a law of con.
gress."

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 29-The pro-

eating committee were considerably
enlivened last night by the open charge
Of Warden Parchman. He declared
that Commissioner Kincannon had
been actuated in his charges by the
refusal Of the warden to appoint GER

cannon had requested.
Mr.. Kincannon was on the stand,
and as one of the accused parties the
warden was allowed to ask him ques-
tions. The colloquy at times grew
quite spirited and considerable person
al feeling is being engendered.
Thus far the investigating commit
tee has made but little headway in
substantiating the charges against
the warden.
