investigation has been done in the
past, but it is true that the work of
the secret service agents was partly
responsible for the indictment and
conviction of senator and con-
gresham for land frauds in Oregon.

public interest to protect criminals
in any branch of the public service,
and exactly as we have again and
again during the past seven years
prosecuted and convicted ssuch crimi-
nails who were in the executive branch
OF the government, so in my belief we
should be given ample means to prose-
cute them if found in the legislative
branch.

sirable a special exception could be
made in the law prohibiting the use
