The Rich Hill tribune. (Rich Hill, Mo.) 1903-1911, 1903-07-09


er, permit the consideration Of any
financial legislation at the next
) session Of Congress. nv. Cam
non knows the Senate committee on
Finance appointed a sub-committes
including Senators Aldrich, Spoon
err, Plat Of Connecticut and Teller,
to sat during the summer and pre-
pare a financial bill which,, is COM
monty understood win be along the
lines of the Aldrieh bill, pressed for
passage al the last session. One
meeting Of the subcommittee took
place at Hot Springs, Va, and
much preliminary work was dispos-
Of. Another meeting is scheduled
to take place in August when Il has
been expected to complete the pro-
posed measure. This measure is
understood to have the tentative en-
dorsement Of the Administration
and it was with the hope OF induc-
ing the president to sanction its con-
sideration at the special session to
be called in November, in advance
of the Cuban treaty, that NJ. Geo.
w. Perkins, partner Of J. p. Nor
gan, called at the White House
with Senator Hanna a few days ago.
Mr.. Roosevelt, having learned of
Mr.. Cannon's opposition, refused
the request, however.
1t was not until this week, that
knowledge of Mr.. Cannon's views
become public and CONSERVATION, in
the east, at least, has been the re-
suit, Four of the leading New
York papers have expressed them
selves editorially on the subject and
il is learned that Senator Aldrich IS
exasperated "'beyond measure
Apart from the merits OF Mr.. Cam
mons position on financial legisla-
ton, his avowed intention oil
? using the unlimited power conferred
upon the speaker by the existing
rules is regarded with amazement.
Il is at least likely to foment the
: bad blood which already exists be-
tween the House and the Senate
and which led to severe structure;
being passed upon Mr.. Cannon
himself during the special session
of the Senate last March. In som'
e quarters the view is held that Nj
Cannon's announcement viii lead
to some modification of the e~xistinl
/ rules, so that the power of thI
Speaker shall be materially curtail
&c ed.
