Debate About Power to Call for Any
Government Files.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Ba-
con today introduced a resolution de-
claring that "any and every public
document paper or record or copy
thereof. on the files of any. depart
ment of the government relating to
any subject whatever over which con-
gress has any grant of power, juris-
diction or control under the constitu-
ton and any information relative
thereto within the possession of the
officers of the department is subject
to the call or inspection of the senate
for it's use in the exercise of its con-
stitutional powers and Jurisdiction.
Taking the floor. Mr. Bacon said it
was of special Importance because OF
the recent message of the president in
which he had directed the attorney
general not to give information as to
what he had done in the bringing of
suit against the United states steel
corporation for its absorption OF the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company.
Complaining that the language of
the president in his steel corporation
message had not been distinguished
by its extreme courtesy" Mr.. Bacon
This is the first time that the de-
NAL of the right of the senate has ever
been made in such unlimited and en-
phatic language as that now employed
by the president.
Senator Hale expressed the opinion
that the president had not taken
square ground upon the right of con-
eress to direct the transmission OF pa
pers by the heads OF departments /
do not" said Mr.. Hale, know that that
right has been questioned and hope 1t
never will be-"
Mr.. Bacon said that the president did
not stop at questioning the senate
reasons for it's inquiries, but that ne
had said that the heads of the execu-
tive department. were subject to the
constitution, to the laws passed by con-
gress and to the direction of the presl-
dent of the United States and to no
other direction whatever
That" said Mr.. Bacon. lis as broad
as human language can make 1t.
..Does the senator think from that
language that the president has COM
rnitted himself to the proposition that
congress can not call upon the mead OF
a department for information and Tor
papers and documents in depart
ment?" inquired Senator daIe' WHO
added:
II hope the president has not COM
rnftted himself to that proposition
II understand that language" said
Mr.. Bacon, plainly implies that the
president recognizes but three
utborities by which the direction may
be exercised over the head of an
executive department"
Senator Hopkins challenged MI
Bacon's contention on the ground that
not congress, but the senate alone re-
Gently asked for the information re-
gardfng the action of the attorney gen.
eral and Mr.. Lodge asked whether
congress in the judgment of the SEN
ator from Georgia had a right to de-
mand papers from the state depart
ment LAS an absolute right.
Mr. Bacon replied, Yes But of
course while congress has the right
it exercises its discretion in such mat
