GET RAP
Mann BelittIes Their Claim
to Railway Bill.
HOUSE RULES ARE ESTIMATED
"AH This Talk About Liberalism of
Rules Is Mainly Bunk" Says I'LL
nois Representative-"rh Unapi-
nous Consent Rule Is a Good One
that Has Accomplished Much."

Representative Mann, OF Illinois, chair
man of the House Interstate Commerce
Committee, who had as much to do with
framing the railroad bill, passed at the
session just ended, as any member OF
either body. doesn't think much of the
claim Of the House insurgents that their
efforts were responsible for giving the
country such a good bill.
Just before Mr. Mann left for Atlantic
City yesterday he gave out a little state
merit on the subject
II notice statements by Mr. Murdoch
and Others" says Mr. Mann, claiming
that the recent railroad bill received full
consideration in the House because OF
the efforts OF the so-cailed insurgents
concerning the rules, The facts are
quite to the contrary
i have had charge of several of the
big bills in Congress in recent years and
there has been no Limitation Of debate
or amendment on any OF them.
Three Leading Examples.
The great bill creating the Depart
ment Of Commerce and Labor was con-
sldered without a rule without restrict
ing the right of amendment or debate.
The great pure food bill was considered
without rule and without limiting
amendment or debate. The Hepburn rail-
road bill was considered without a rule
and without limiting amendment or de-
bate. The last two OF these were passed
while Mr.. Cannon was Speaker, and ex-
actiy the same procedure was adopted
on those oils as In the recent railroad
bill.
Bills OF this character, like appropri
alton bills. are thrown open TO debate
and amendment Certain kinds of bills
must have debate and amendment re-
stricted. such as the recent postal saw
ings bank bill, where Mr.. Murdoch urged
that a rule be adopted limiting debate
and prohibiting amendment. The liberal
debate and right of amendment OF the
recent railroad bill was not the result of
the insurgents agitation, but was the re-
suit Of the fixed policy OF the House I'M
der Mr.. Cannons Speakership.
Says Talk Is All s'Bunk.p
IAN this talk about a liberalism Of the
rules is mainly hunk The unanimous
consent rule is a good one. The calen-
dar Wednesday rule will in the end be
repudiated. because II retards rather
Than hastens consideration Of bills The
recent Clark rule to take bills away
from committees will prove so bungle-
some and foolish that its author will dis
own il before the next session is over.

formers write the rules OF the House, and
under these rules l VIII agree TO bring
UP for consideration or prevent the con-
sideration OF any particular bill intro

The bonding commission created at the
suggestion Of Representative Tawney, Of
Minnesota. chairman of the House APP
propriations Committee. completed its
preliminary report yesterday.
In the final conclusions OF the commits
sion. which is joint body. composed OF
members of the Senate and House. with
Senator Gallinger, of New Hampshire,
as chairman. will be an urgent recon-
niendation that the government bond its
own employees.
This will mean an enormous saving 20

ployes under bond, whose sureties reach
the enormous total of $s.OoO.OoO,OOo
Surety Trusts 10 Fight.
As a result Of Mr.. Tawney's activity
In investigating the bond business. with
a view OF reducing the enormous total
annual expenditures OF the government
for this purpose, the sO-called surety
trust has threatened to make a fight on
him In hts district this fall
Mr.. Tawney's friends are inclined 10
believe that large sums of money viii
be spent in his district in the hope OF
electing his Democratic opponent.
For the past year or 50 some Of the
leading actuaries OF the United states
have been working under the direction
OF the bonding commission in an en-
deavor TO ascertain the number Of bonded
employees on the government pay roll, the
percentage Of defalcations during the last
decade. and the exact general average
relation OF premiums 10 penalties.
Have Work Nearly Done.
While their work is not by any means
complete, they have gone far enough to
demonstrate 10 their own satisfaction
that the rates charged by surety COM
panies are entirely too high.
The members OF the commission are
inclined 10 think that the best solution
Of the difficulty IS 10 have the govern
ment bond all its own employees In po-
siti0ns of trust.
The surety companies brought this IN
quiry on themselves. On January /. 1910
they endeavered TO treble their rates to
government employees. There were so
many kicks from low and medium
salaried employees who could not stand
the increase that Mr.. Tawney took the
matter up, with the result indicated
