LOWER HOUSE
Resolution Passed Calling Up
on the President to Make
Good His Charges.
UNANIMOUS. ACTION
AND LITTLE DEBATE
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS STILL
WORKED UP OVER iNsINU-
ATOMS IN MESSAGE.

Washington. Dec. 17.-Chairman Perkins
of the house special committee srTointed
to recommend a course of action rolative
to the suggestions of the president IN his
annual message concerning the secret SER
vice. to which members of congress have
taken exception, presented report of that
committee at the beginning of today's ses-
sion of the house.
The report recommends the adoption of
a resolution calling upon the president TO
supply the house with the evidence upon
which he based his statement that the
members of the house were principally
concerned over the fact that the secret
service men had been investigating mem
bers themselves.

He submitted typewriter affidavit
embodying these charges to Assistant
District Attorney Garvin, TO whom. the

Action Was Unanimous.

The house adopted the Perkins resolu-
ton in regard the president and the secret
service without dissenting vote and at
ter very little comment. Mr.. Cochran of
New York suggested that it should be
made applicable to congress as whole
and not merely to the house, but the
change was not made.
In the preamble to the resolution it is
declared that the plain meaning of the
presidents words in that the majority
of the congressman were in fear of being
investigated by secret service men and
that congress as a whole was actuated
by that motive in enacting the provision
in question"

The Preamble.

Whereas, There was contained in the
sundry civil bill which passed congress
at its last session and became law, a
provision in reference TO the employment
of the secret service of the treasury de
partment: and,
Whereas. In the last annual message
of the president of the United States &c
the two houses of congress. it was stated
in reference to that provision: 1T is not
too much to say that this amendment has
been Of benefit only and could be of ben
eft only to criminal classes and it was
further stated the chief argument in IA
Vor of the provision was that the con-
sressmen did not themselves wish to be
Investigated by secret service men. and
1T was further stated. But if this is not
considered desirable a special exception
could be made IN the law, prohibiting the
use of the SEED service force in investi-
eating members of congress. 1t would be
far better to do this than to do what ac-
tually was done and strive to prevent or
at least to hamper effective action against
criminals by the executive branch of the
government and
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-12-18
President Not Justified.

Whereas, The plain meaning of the
above words is that the majority of the
congressman were in fear of being hives
tigated by secret service men. and that
congress as whole was actuated by that
motive in enacting the provision in ques-
ton: and.
Whereas. Your committee appointed to
consider these statements of the presi-
dent and Eeport to the house cannot find
in the hearings before committees nor in
the records of the house or senate any
justification of this Impeachment of the
honor and integrity of the congress: and.
Whereas. Your committee would pre-
fer-.Sn order TO make an intelligent and
comprehensive report. just TO the presi-
dent as well as to the congress to have
all the Information which the president
may have; therefore. be it
Text of the Resolution.
Resolved. That the president. be re-
qUested to transmit to the house any evil
dence upon which he based his statements
that the chief argument in favor Of <Ie
provision was that the congressman did
not themselves with to be investigated
nit to the house any evidence connecting
any member of the house of the Sixtieth
congress with corrupt action in his official
capacity and to inform the house Whether
he has instituted proceedings Tor die pun
ishment of any such individual by the
courts or has reported any such alleged
delinquencies to the house of representa-
tives."
Remarks of Members.
In reporting the resolution Mr. Perkins
said it had been recommended unanimous
" by the special committee and said that
as soon as the president should send in
any information in his possession the
committee would make another report for
the consideration of the house.
Representative John Sharp Williams ex-
he hone a "a Init inn

Mr. Williams said the committee would
impartially report upon ..this seemingly
unprovoked and unjustified attack upon

lative branch of the government"

so far as the committee knows" said
Mr. Williams, there is not a scintilla of
evidence TO support that statement by
the president The committee has thought
it would be fair to the president to give
him further opportunity to predIlcee tes-
timony if he has any. The American peo-

Not long ago we saw COW on a
railroad track. The train was ap-
preaching. The engineer was in a
hurry and didn't want to stop, hut he
was blowing the whistle in sharp and
repeated shrieks. The COW realized
her peril and wanted to escape but
her brain was one-celled and she had
but one idea at time. That idea
was to escape and she tried to do it
by running straight down the track
as fast as her numbering gait per-
mitted. There were plenty of places
to turn off, but the bovine did not
see them. She galloped along scared
half to death, and finally fell through
the open ties of a little bridge. The
train was stopped and the trainmen
at last pried her out, cursing her
heartily. A good many COWS and
other animals have been killed De-
cause of the fact that they get their
brains muddled in time of storm
and stress. They are ratified easily.
Human beings get the same way
sometimes. A clear head is vital to
success. If-you are of natureread-
lily confused overcome it by determi-
nation. Sometimes outside Unfit
ences enter which serve to bewilder
the faculties. Themen who appears
in community with clcuded eyes and
a dull and sluggish mind is in no
shape to do justice to himself or
his town either. Come out Of it.

II now seems that Nezperce is
about to reap some results from her
long and persistent efforts in striving
to get better transportation facilities.
The efforts that have been made by
the town and the surrounding country
to get a railroad could have only
been made by people with a deter
mined and progressive spirit, such
as has been manifested by the peo-
pie of the prairie since its settlement.
When we look back over the hard
ships and unfavorable conditions
which these people have had to pass
through and recall each successive
effort and step they have taken to
relieve conditions and to help them
selves, it is cause for anyone to be
proud that he is a citizen of Nez-
perez prairie. The people here have
shown to those on the outside that
they know what the trouble is and
know how to remedy it. They know
that they are living in as fine
country as there is in the entire
northwest. but that it has been held
back by certain classes as much and
as long as it was possible to do so in
order that its wealth might be used
to the advantage of only one or two.
But notice was served on this one or
two last fall that the farmers of this
great prairie would no longer work
for two or three individuals but that
they would throw off the chains that
had so long kept the country back
and would help themselves if they
could not get assistance from the
outside.
