The checks for the monthly salaries
OF members Of the house of representa-.
tives go to the treasury department.
for payment with the name of j. IA.
Cannon signed thereon. But if MIR.
Cannon's genuine signature were on
the checks they could not be col.

That Is because the legal Signature OF
the speaker filed with the secretary OF
the treasury, is not Mr.. Cannon,s
signature at all, but the signature
written by Mr.. u. White Busbey, his
secretary Mr.. Busbey does not write
the name of Cannon altogether as the
speaker himself writes 1t, but the legal
signature as far as the treasury de-
partment is concerned is the signature
as Busbey writes 1t.
This is all because OF a resolution
which the house passed not long ago
allowing the speaker to designate some
person to sign the various papers. saf-
fecfing financial accounts of the house.
Mr. Cannon could, of course, make the
