constitutionally called to meet on the 9th
day of November, 1903, and being in session,
its session cannot be terminated and enoed
except in one of two ways. What are they
First by adjournment of the body itself;
second, by operation of law.
1.-The only question here is, then. whether
after the 9th day of November 1905, Con-
gress had adjourned, in the first instance
on it's own motion. Everybody comedies
that it has not There has not been any
attempt to adjourn without day nnally
from that time until today. The only other
question left is, Was Congress terminated
by operation of law? because that is the
only other way by which it can be termi-
mated, and that brings us to this PROPOSE
ton Does the fact that the Constitution
requires Congress, if it is not in session, to
meet on the first Monday in December of
itself terminate Congress that is then In
session? In my judgment, 1t does not:
What is the purpose, object and intent OF
that provision of the Constitution, ana It's
only purpose, object and intent? Simply to
call Congress together in order that 1t may
be in session as Congress. 1t Is simply FOR
the purpose of calling it together.
Now, Congress was already together
and in session when that time interviewed
1t met on the 9th day of November 1905
and it continued in session, and there was
no occasion for it to meet in order to begin
session, because it was here In session. The
only purpose that can be accomplished by
this provision of the Constitution as to the
time of meeting is to cause Congress to
meet anu DeSin a tSeSSlOn.&- lfdA - It's oiAy
purpose and object. In this instance, on
the 7th day of December. 1903, this pro-
vision had nothing upon which, to operate,
as the Fifty-eighth Congress had already
met and was then in session.. The object OF
this provision had already been accomplish
ed. 1t is familiar legal principle that
when the reason for law falls, the law
falls and the rule ceases to operate. Ii the
Fifty-eighth Congress had not been In ses-
sion when the hour of u d clock noon, De-
cember 4 1907 arrived, it would have been
its duty to meet and begin its session; but
it had no occasion to meet for that purpose,
either constructively or actually, because it
had already met and was in session.
A Legal Absurdity.
How can it with any propriety be said
that 1t is the duty of Congress to meet
when it has already met? 1t is legal abb
surdity to say that body that is in session, /
must meet either constructively or actually,
in order TO be in session, In order to hold
that the session of the Fifty-eighth Con-
gress, which began on November 0, 1908,
terminated by operation of law at IL o'clock
noon December Z. 1903. it must be held that
although the Fifty-eighth Congress was in
full constitutional session at IL o'clock noon
on that day, 1t was terminated and the ses-
SION ended IN order that. at the same in
Stant OF ume. the same Congress should
pc In IKE full constitutional session-being
IN session, by operation of law, by one act,

and at the same moment of time session
is ended and begun, when, as a matter of
fact the session is actually continuous.
What is there to justify the assertion of
this extremely finical and attenuated tech
meal legal proposition? What is there about
the Fifty-eighth Congress, that would have
assembled at II o'clock noon December Z,
If 1t had not already been assembled, that
differentiates it from the same Fifty-eighth
Congress that met November 8? Absolutely
nothing. Has the latter any constitutional
power not possessed by the former? None.
Can it do anything that the other could not
do? Nothing. Is there any legal reason why
one is superior to or supersedes the other;
why the former should give way to the
latter? Absolutely none.
1T must be borne in mind that these
provisions of the Constitution relating to
calling sessions of Congress are in no sense
analogous to the bylaws of a corporation
providing for the calling of meetings of the
corporation If they were, the provisions
Monday of December might be thought
parallel to the bylaws providing for the
annual meeting of the corporation at which
officers are to be elected and such other
business transacted may be specified In
the call. Unless so specified no other bust
ness can be transacted. The call for
special meeting of a corporation must
specify the business to be transacted at the
meeting, and the usual business of the an
nual meeting, such as the election of Of
ficers, could not be transacted at such
meeting, because such business is by the
bylaws to be considered at specific meet
ing. and notice thereof would not be given
In the call.
Powers Of Congress.
I'm the case of Congress, however,
whether called by the President under the
Constitution or meeting at the time speci-
fed in the Constitution or at the time APP
pointed by Congress under the Constitution,
it met with the same plenary powers, and
is in no sense limited or restrained as to the
acts which 1t can do by the time when or
the manner in which 1t Is called together,
and there is, therefore, no legal reason why
the Fifty-eighth Congress, meeting at the
time fixed by the Constitution, in session
at noon on December Z, can be held to dis
place or supersede the Fifty-eighth Con-
gress in session at and prior to that time,
meeting equally at the time fixed by the
Constitution by virtue of the Presidents
call. In order to overrule the point of
order some such legal reason must be
given. How is it that Congress, that has the
power to change the time fixed for meeting
by the Constitution has not the power to
continue Its own session beyond the time
thus fixed? 1t has elected to so continue 1
it in this instance.
let us assume that the legislative day of
December 5 extended without any recess
until IL o'clock noon on the 7th. at which
time a roll call was in progress. Would the
roll call be stopped and the session ended

One or Two Sessions.

"That raises the specific question as to
session or whether there are clearly two
sessions. If two sessions, this appropriation
is correct; it is authorized by existing law
and it ought to be made, and every man
can properly receive it, Now if there is
continuous session then there is only one
session. then there is no law that authorizes
the appropriation of two mileageS for any
one session. What is mileage for a session :?
Mileage, | take it, is the sum that enables
member of Congress to attend at the be-
ginning and return to his home at the end
of session of Congress. Everybody con-
cedeS. no matter what the other facts may
be, that in this case this Congress- or at
least, Congress. did meet on the 9th day of
November, 1903 and continued it's session
in any event. until II o'clock noon on the
18th day of December 1903. so that, of
course. as a matter of fact. the mileage eX-
tended until that time.
I'VE were paid for coming here on the
9th day of November and we would be paid
for returning on the 18th day of December
al II o'clock, and if there is an interregnum
would equally be entitled to pay under
existing law for returning at the same u
clock to attend the regular session. In
my judgment the only question is, Is there
one continuous session or under the cir
cumstances, are there two? In other words
is there an nterregnum? In my Judgment

be on the first Monday in December unless
they shall by law appoint different date
I'm this case Congress has not by law
appointed any different date, so that, so far
as the discussion at this stage is conce, ned.
