cent to so per cent. II was inevitable
that this suggestion should be made
during the course OF the bill, and II
will simply have to be overcome, II we
are able to convince them of the rea-
sonabeness OF the Presidents original
recommendation
HEP5URN's SUGGESTIONS.
Col Hepburn has made a friendly
suggestion in regard to the handling
OF the bill which | am now preparing
10 follow up: II is that In addition TO
pushing my present bill before the
Committee on Territories. ! shall en-
Jeavor to have an amendment to the
same effect inserted as rider to thi
sundry Civil Bill We are now dis
cussing means and methods by which
that may be put in such form that IL
will not be subject to q point of order
when the Sundry Civil bill Is put upon
its passage. IL Is not at all certain that
this can be done. Col Hepburn re.
terated this morning that had not
only taken the correct course In re-
terring my original bill to the Com
lnittee on Territories but he further
insists that we shall go on with our
plan OF a hearing before that commit
tee while seeking to work out a plan
Tor getting II place In the Sundry
Civil Bill through the Committee on
Appropriations: In other words, so far
as II Is now developed. II appears ad-
visable TO follow both lines of action
until we can be certain OF our results
with the Committee on Appropriations.
The hearing before the Committee on
Territories will. in any event. lay Il
ground work OF information among Ger
tain members of Congress and will be
of value In securing the passage OF the
measure In whichever form II proves
best to finally put IL to the test before
the House

an Interview with Speaker Cannon 10

my two lighthouse bills now on the
calendar. The Speaker, In his char
acteristically forcible language In.
formed Mr.. Mann, who Is chairman OF
the subcommittee on light houses,
that the appropriation for light house
establishment would have TO be kept
down to the vanishing point In this
Congress; after making his customary
comments on the extravaganza OF light
house officials In their estimates OF the
amounts needed for each case and after
eXacting a promise from Mr.. Mann that
light house items would be kept down
TO the lowest possible point, he con.
sented TO give recognition for these
two bills, and they will doubtless be
called up and passed In the near future
RoBINsoN's APPOINTMENT.
The sudden new developments In the
matter OF Judge Robinson's re-appoint-
ment has naturally stirred up strong
feeling on the part OF Judge Robin

friends Is a cabinet officer, and anoth-
er an influential Senator, their opin-
ions In the matter are not wholly 10

TO the President yesterday his recon-
