ALEXANDRIA, VA.
THURSDAY EVENING, AUG. II

WHO puts "jokers" into billsy with
all the committees on enrolled bills and
committees on engrossed bills, and
committees on the various branches OF
the public service, which prepare tn
bills and carry them through their re-
spective branches Of Congress, how Is
il that lockers" are not discovered un-
ill the bills get to the White House,
and often not until the president has
signed them? asks the Philadelphia
Record. Besides the Indian lands con
cerned in the Gore charges there are
lands affected by twenty thousand IN
diyidual contracts, the right to which
has been settled by the courts. The
Circuit Court of Appeals has decided
the cases in favor of the government.
When the Indian appropriation bllI
reached the president, Solicitor General
Bowers discovered init-these jokers
always creep into appropriation bills
a provision allowing the holders OF the
lands to take an appeal from the CIR
cult Court of Appeals TO the Supreme
Court. The theory is that they had nc
expectation OF disputing the decision,
but hoped to get another year or two
OF occupation OF the lands, and they
are working night and day to striI
them OF oil and minerals. 1t was too
late to send the bill back for correction
and the president signed it, but re-
ceiyer for the lands will be appointed
and thus their exploitation during the
interim will be prevented. Again tho
Record asks: When did that joker
get into the bill? Who put it in How
did it happen that no one discovered II
till it reached the White House?
