FUND FOR CONSERVATION
WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE
FOR CERTIFICATE ISSUE.
Puts the Amount for Aiding Rec.
lamation Work at $20,000,0O0,
Cutting Down Senate Figures.

The House ways and means commit
tee today acted favorably upon the bill
authorizing the issuance of certificates of
Indebtedness for the reclan kion Work
after amending the measure making the
amount of certificates $2OOOO,OOO instead
of 5000 900. as fixed by the Senate, and
limiting the use of the money to COM
plction of existing projects. The ap-
proval of the President to the report of
the engineers is required
One Dissenting Vote.
The bill was reported with but one dis
senting vote, that of Representative Tn
derwood of Alabama. 1t is said, how
ever, that a majority of the committee
declared that they were not in favor of
it, but yielded principally because of the
interest that President Taft had taken in
the matter
The measure provides also that all
money shall be returned to the Treas
ury from the reclamation fund, and
repeals that section of the irrigation
law which makes 1T necessary to eX-
pend the reclamation funds equally
among all states and according to the
revenues received. The money may be
expended on whatever project it may
be needed most.
Representative Underwoods opposition
to the measure was based on it's alleged
unconstitutionality and on the further
objection that the issue Of certificates of
Indebtedness was unnecessary to COM
plete existing irrigation projects.
Senate Will Yield.
Upon the passage of the bill by the
House the Senate will withdraw from
the amendment it attached to the
House conservation bill. and that meas
ure will become law without confer
ence. The Senate will then put through
the certificate bill of the ways and
means committee.
The House leaders will do this only
on the request from the White House
and in view Of the possible holdup in
adjournment. Some of the regulars Of
the House are not inclined to SYM
pathize strongly with permitting the
western states to be favored to this
extent from the Treasury.
1t Is admitted that $20O0O,0O0 is only
the beginning OF the money that will be
needed, and that the ultimate issue of
certificates or bonds for irrigation will
be at least $50. 100000

Regarded as Big Victory.

And now we have forced the rules
committee to break up the vile system
of smothering legislation in committees,
which / consider one of our biggest
victories.
The claim was made that these reforms
would clog the legislative machinery SO
that affairs in the House would be chaotic
and nothing could be done. No such
thing has happened. nor will it happen.
Our great issue, however is stu in the
background That Is the creation OF a
committee on committees. We will get
that at the next session without fail. Then
we can feel that we have accomplished
something that counts for the individual
freedom Of members Of the House..
The proposed amendment to the rHles
providing for the committed e-discharge
proposition has been practically agreed
upon by the committee on rules and
may be brought into the House at any
time Being q matter enjoying the
highest privilege. it would displace any
Legislation before the House.
When the rule is brought in it prob
ably will be adopted by a unanimous
or practically unanimous vote. The
unique spectacle of regulars, insurgents
and democrats voting for one and the
same proposition, and all claiming the
credit for it, will then be presented.

WILL REPORT A RULE

House Committee Would Pre-
vent Holding Up of Legis-
lation-Heads Off Fight.

The decision Of the House rules COM
mittee today to report a reform rule.
designed to prevent legislation being
''smothered' in committee, makes another
fight on the rules in the House at this
session improbable. The rule is prac-
tically that prepared by the. democratic
conference. known as the lark-Sherley
resolution 1t is expected to be reported
to the House later in today's session.
"A great and indisputable victory for
the insurgent cause Is the way Rep
resentative Victor Murdock of Kansas
characterized the decision on the part of
the rules committee.
While the compromise rule the COM
mittee on rules will recommend is not
quite as effective as we would like to
have it," said Mr.. Murdock today, ut
is a distinct victory-one more victory
in the list of reforms that we started
out to accomplish. Our first move was
to rid the rules committee of the dOmi-
nation of the Speakers presence. We
did that. If we had not no such action
as the rules committee is now cOntem-
plating would have been possible, since
Speaker Cannon would never have al
lowed it.
Then he enlarged the rules commit
tee, and forced fair recognition of
consent, without their having to go in
suppliant slavishness to the Speaker
and beg of him as a privilege that
which ought to be their right. We
got that when We got the calendar
