Draws Near Congressman
Are Breaking Their NeckS for
Pet Measures,
GOVERNORS MEETING
AND POSSIBLE RESULTS

(By win {. Barnes

(By VIII C. BaIncs)
Washington, D. c., May 22,--As tho
days Of the session Of congress rapid
ly approach their close the usua
scramble and hustle for getting GER
tain pet measures through reaches an
acute stage Possibly never in the
closing days of session has there
been such a rush for cover as there
exists today
1t is close to a presidential cam
palgn and also the congressman most
Of them are loking to their fences.
Public building bills are the main
stays Of many a congressman whose
sole value to his constituency is his
ability to get bills through for pub
lie buildings for his district When
he public building bin was first
drawn up, the speaker stated very
cmphatically that ii must be very
small one. ana swore by the great
horn spoon that nothing but a small
one could ever get past his desk no
matter how urgent the case was.
As it stands today the present bill
il it goes through VIII be one OF the
largest bills ever passed by a con-
gross or course some Of the things
viii get trimmed down heavily but
every one Of them is earnestly de-
manded by some congressman as
sole means OF his renewing ms am
llations with the next session so they
probably VIII let the most OF them
90 in order to make the situation less
acute in the many districts Wher' th'
democrats are girdlng up their IONS
ana predicting great results from ihoIr
fan campaign. The Dill as 1t stands
now carries close to thirty millions
ana very fair sized appropriation even
Tor an off year
! heard a member say IaSt night
That never before IN his IIo had lher"
been such rush al the last moment
ana it was Il dead sure thlng that
lots OF measures would ne rnSh'u
through as tails to somebody's olhoi
bill that should never be passed
