that Certificates Called Into
Question Are Currency.

The Senate Committee on Irrigation
had an executive session yesterday to
hear Secretary Garfield, of the Interior
Department. and f. H. Newell. chief OF
the reclamation service, on the question
OF the legality of the issue OF scrip or
certificates by the water users associa-
ton Of the West in connection with con-
struction work on reclamation projects
by authority OF the Federal government.
a serious question has been raised as
to the authority to issue what amounts
practically, in the opinion of some sena-
tors, TO a form of currency.
Mr.. Newell was the only officer heard.
He said he had conferred with the Comm
troller Of the Currency. who held that
the certificates were rot currency. Secre-
tary Gar1eld viii be heard later.
The certificates are issued by the
water users association, by authority Of
the Interior Department, 10 farmers who

Chairman C. 3. Lands, of the Printing
Investigating Commission. and the man
who cleaned out the Government Printing
Office, yesterday on the floor OF the
House, during consideration of the gen
eral deficiency bill. arose and explained the
expenditures during the Stillings regime
In the printery.
Mr.. Lands told sf the results obtained
by the commission in the months It has
been at work. and thoroughly justified the
appointment of such an investigating
body.
He called attention first to the striking
discrepancy between the estimates sent 10
Congress for appropriations for purchas-
ing machinery and the amounts actually
expended, there being no check upon the
Public Printer in the expenditure of all
the money appropriated for the office, ex-
eept with respect OF the purchase of pa
per.
In the three years. 1896, 1907, and 1908, the
estimates for machinery aggregated $780,
0OO while the expenditures for two and
half years were $1.2s4.1s
As to the work performed by the inyes-
tigating commission. Mr. Lands said 1t
had accomplished a saving OF s140,sS in
the first session of the Fifty-ninth Con-
gress. the only one for which the figures
had been tabulated. This was due to the
operation Of the new law regulating the
number Of public documents printed for
the use OF Congress.

TO CHANGE HOUSE CHAMBER
Then Wen Have the Greatest Law
Body in World.
At Present There Is Too Much Air
TO BE Put Out of Business.
Mccall Is Chairman.

The Committee on Library. Of which
Representative Mccall. Of Massachusetts.
is chairman. has discovered why the
House Of Representatives is not the
greatest legislative body in the world.
This Is brought out in a report on a reso-
luton providing that the House chamber
shall be remodeled that the desks shall
be removed and benches substituted.
thus making the chamber bear a strong
resemblance to the English House Of
Commons.
THE enormous size Of the hail." says
the report. makes It very difficult for a
member with a voice Of ordinary strength
70 be heard, even under the best condi-
tions, while II any degree Of confusion
exists il becomes IN most cases impos-
sible to hear one who Is speaking half
was across the hall.
In order to agitate this enormous
volume OF air many of the members are
compelled TO make a very special effort.
and the energy that should be employed
in the brain IS directed to the lungs. and
a style is demanded which is destructive
Of the argumentetive manner. and leads
to defamation. The House of Repre-
sentatives occupies the largest legislative
hall in the world, and it is chiefly due
to that fact that L is not the greatest
legislative body in the world.
The object Of this resolution is to
make the House a parliamentary body in
the real sense Of the word. It is 70
make it truly worthy of the people it rep
resents by improving the quality of its
legislation and securing more firmly the
sway Of reason by destroying the pre-
MUM which the present system gives to
mere sound and fury 10 enable members
to make themselves heard.

on Finance and the House Committee on
Ways and Means viii seek the services
Of government experts who will be in
structed to prepare data which the COM
mittees desire. These experts will do
their work during the summer and be
prepared to report to the committee be-
fore Congress reassembles in December.
The committees, according to the pres
ent understanding. will not give hearings
TO anybody and everybody anxious to be
heard on the proposed revision. II is
the desire OF the leaders to hear very
few persons, and these to be selected by
the committees. but there is no certainty
that this plan will be adhered to.
The idea of the leaders is 10 have all
persons having views to submit, to sub
NIT them in writing. While the commit
tees will hold preliminary meetings this
week, there is no intention Of having
sessions through the recess OF Congress.
The experts will do the work in that
period. and the committees will do the
rest later on. The extent of the proposed
revision Is problematical
