THE House of Representatives last
week passed bill creating per-
manent commission of fine arts, composed
of seven artists appointed by the Presi-
dent. with authority TO decide upon the
location of statues and monuments in the
District of Columbia, and whose duty 1t
will be to advise in the selection of mod
els and of artists and generally upon
other questions of art when required to
do SO by the President or by any COM
mittee of either house OF Congress. These
commissioners are to serve without pay,
but a sum not exceeding $4,000 is appro-
priated annually to pay travelling and
other expenses incident To meetings. This
is virtually the same kind of a commits
sion that was appointed by President
Roosevelt. and there seems little doubt
that. it will be authorized by the Senate.
The bill creating this commission was in
PRODUCED in the House of Representatives
by Mr. Mccall. chairman of the House
library committee, who has served on
numerous statue commissions. and ii was
stoutly upheld by Mr.. Slayden of Texas
and Mr.. Cooper of Wisconsin. The Con-
gressional Record does not often make
sprightly reading. but the report of the
debate upon this bill is full of lively in
terest.
In introducing the bill Mr.. Mccall said:
1--WE have had a very haphazard develop
ment of art in the city of Washington.
We have had our streets and our squares
filled up by art objects that not al
ways art. We have had commissions
appOintad-temporary, sporadic comm S
sions-one commission for ono statue and
another commission for another. with the
result that we have no uniform or well
thought out development Every civilized
country in the world has, / believe,
commission OF art corresponding to this
Cne.'' ~ sr~a<E
Mr.. -Tawney declared that artists were
lawless and impractical as a class, and
that such q "sky-fine commission would
be not only useless but dangerous. The

ture. Grant monument and Union sta
