Three Bills at One Time.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, Nov. Ex-senator Money Of
Mississippi has made record in the In
PRODUCTION of more bills at one time than
have ever been put In the Senate before.
Some years ago. when Senator Plumb Of
Kansas was in Congress. he introduced
about 100 bills. and until yesterday he
held the record. But Senator Money
more than doubled his number of bills
by introducing 2a5 measures. all but
twenty-five Of which were claims against
the Government and the twenty-five were
pension bills. 1t Is roughly estimated
that II Congress should pass all of the
bills introduced by Senator Money 1t
would have to look out for its revenues
and serious inroads would be made on
the balance sheet Of the Government.
