HOUSE TO TEST
THE BIG Stick
VIOLATION OF LAW AT DIRECT
ORDER OF PRESIDENT is
THE ISSUE.
Tawney of Minnesota Gets the Task.
Appropriations Chairman Must
Tackle the Strenuous Man in the
White House.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Pres. Roose-
welt will have an opportunity to test
the power of the "big stick" and its
coercive influence over the legislative
body in controversy in which the
executive seems to be at a disadvan-
tage.
The question raised is whether at
the direction of the president of the
United States, the plain provisions
of the law of congress forbidding the
mourning of any Indebtedness not
authorized by law can be violated
upon the order of the head of any
executive department or the presi-
dent himself.
1t is expected that the controversy
will develop in the house of repre-
sentatives on account of provision
inserted in the urgency deficiency ap-
preparation bill by the senate to pay
Senator Bankhead of Alabama 81 800
for his services as a member of the
inland water ways commission,
which was appointed by President
Roosevelt. The unpleasant duty de-
wolves upon Representative Tawney,
as chairman, of the appropriations
committee of the house, to make this
contest.
The deep waterways commission
was appointed by President Roose-
welt without express authority of
congress to meet the cost of such
commission, either in the form of
salary or legitimate expenses.
Attention is called to the fact that
the house of representatives voted
down the proposition to create such a
commission in the closing days of the
last congress, although Representa-
tive Burton of Cleveland made a vigor-
GUS effort to have measure passed.
The opponents of paying the Bank
head claim declare that President
Roosevelt had no authority to appoint
the waterways commission, and say
that the bill for Mr.. Bankhead's SER
vices was not authorized by any provi-
sion of law.
While the policy of the Republican
leaders of the house has not been
outlined with reference to bills that
shall be passed at this session in
volving large expenditures, pressure
continues to be SO strong for the pas
sage of general public building bill
that the opinion prevails that such a
measure will be put through before
close of the session.

BRAIN PoWER

and for years while nursing my four
children, had insufficient nourishment
for them.
Unable to eat breakfast / felt faint

eat cold chops, sausage, cookies,
doughnuts or anything | happened to
find. Being a writer, at times my
head felt heavy and my brain asleep.
when l read of Grape-Nuts began
eating it every morning, also gave it
to the children, including my 10
months old baby, who soon grew. as
fat as a little pig, good natured and
contented.

need of sustained brain power, began
eating a small saucer of Grape-Nuts
