Observation-Disclosures Per-
kins of New York Friday introduced
the following resolution:
Whereas. There was contained In the
sundry civil appropriation bill which
passed Congress at It's last session and
became law, a provision in reference
to the employment of the secret service
in the Treasury Department, and,
! Whereas, In the message of the
President of the United States to the
two houses Of Congress, 1t was stated
in reference to that provision:
at Is not too much to say that this
amendment has been of benefit only,
and could be of benefit only to the
criminal classes and 1t was further
stated the chief argument in favor of
the provision was that the Congress-
men did not themselves wan to be inves-
tigated by secret service men, and it
was further stated. but II this is not
considered desirable a special excep-
ton could be made In the law, prohibit
ing the use of the secret service force
In investigating members of Congress.
1t would be far better to do this, than
to do what actually was done, and
strive to prevent or at least hamper
effective action against criminals by
the legislative branch Of the govern
ment.' Now, therefore be 1t
Resolved, That committee of five
members of Congress of this House be
appointed by the speaker to consider
the statements contained in the mes
sage Of the President and to report to
the House what action, II any, should
be taken in reference thereto"
The resolution was adopted.
In submitting the resolution Mr.. Per-
kins said:
1.-THE statements made by the Presi-
dent cannot be lightly regarded. They
may be 80 construed by the public as
to lessen the dignity and thereby I'M
pair the usefulness of the Congress OF
the United States. 1t can be justly
said, l think, that these expressions
were unfortunate. Whether 1t is enough
to say this, or whether some more for
NAL action should be taken it will be
for Congress. exercising wise and dis
Greet judgment, to decide"

BUCKEYE
LEGISLATURE

The chief features of the first
week of the legislature which con-
vened Monday of last week were
the governors message and the
wiping off of the legislature slate,
the latter act killing all bills
pending at the adjournment of
two years ago and requiring a
fresh start. The message was
chiefly devoted to review of the
state institutions and the requests
for increased appropriations, the
governor urging the utmost
economy consistent with good
management. The states finances
and sources of revenue were ex-
haustlaely considered and needed
Legislation advised. The cleaning
of the calendars was followed by a
food of bills in both senate and
and house and but few days will
before all the most important
measures whipped off will have
been reintroduced The list in
cludes county local option,
primaries and several taxation
measures, all of which will be the
basis of fierce struggles. To
these may be added the initiative
and referendum, a measure en-
bodied in the Democratic platform.
This will come up in the form of a
constitutional amendment, but as
it has plenty of vote promised
there appears no reason to doubt
it's passage,
Among the new bills introduced
one of the most important is that
of Mr.. Ackley, the Democratic
member from Noble county, pro-
viding for the safety of bank
deposltors in case of bank failures
IL creates bank commission and
requires banks to set aside one pei
cent. of all deposits out of which
losses, if any, must be paid. The
bill is in line with the suggestion
of w. j. Bryan and is much
needed piece of legislation, as il
will make the banks more popular
than the stockings in times oi
strigency. The new state o.
Oklahoma has the credit of th,
first law of this kind, and th'
