lionaire could today afford to accept
q post as its ambassador.
Purchase Envoys' Homes.
The president also spoke in favor OF
the purchase by the government of
homes abroad for our representatives
to foreign countries. He asserted that
while the country was In name q
democracy it made it appear like q
plutocracy for it to send abroad only
men of great wealth, because men OF
marked ability but limited means
could not afford to accept the posi-
tions. He humorously declared that
the president was the "only properly
paid official of the government"
The increases during the past few
years in congressional and other sala-
ries were mentioned by Mr.. Taft, who
declared that our foreign representa-
tiyes also should be remembered. He
said that the Latin-American and 9th
er countries could teach us much In
regard to the importance abroad of
courtesy, eleganoy OF outward appear
ance and fine ambassadorial homes.
and that the surface as we'll as the
substance is of much importance In
our relations with foreign countries.

publics.

REORGANIZATION is SOUGHT az

BY FOWLER.
BACKED soLIDLY BY INSURGENTS
Would Shear Speaker Of Great Por'
ton Of Power Of His Office
Rosebud Reservation to
be Opened.

w Jdh. Ass:-IASOPAO0SAto-
tives Fowler, Of New Jersey, one Of
the original "insurgent" Republicans
of the house introduced resolution
providing for a reorganization of the
rules committee and the removal Of
Speaker Cannon from that committee.
The resolution aims straight at the
house organization and would shear
the speaker of great portion Of the
power of his Office, according to the
statement of its author.
Fowlers Resolution.
The resolution follows:
Resolved, That the house of repre-.
sentatives shall, on the seventh day of
February, 1910. after the morning
hour, proceed to the election of five
additional members of the committee
on rules, four of whom shall be Repub-
licans and one Democrat.
Resolved, That from and after the
passage of this resolution, the speak
er Of the house of representatives
shall no longer be member of the
committee on rules, but that the com
mittee on rules shall consist of four
members heretofore appointed and
the five members elected under the
provisions of this resolution.
Resolved, That the said committee
on rules, consisting of six Republi-
cans and three Democrats, shall elect
one of their number as chairman Of
such committee"
Speaking Of his resolution, Mr.. Fow.
ler said:
ut is now time that we should take
another step toward the restoration of
representative government in the
house Of representatives, and that step
is to remove the speaker of the house
from the committee on rules.
I'm my judgment, this resolution ex-
presses the clear and undoubted wish
Of the people, and the now we'll settled
opinion Of the country. Not to move
forward to this advanced position
would disclose either want of in
telligence or lack Of courage on the
part of the Republican party"
Speaker Cannon's Commont.
Speaker Cannon was shown copy of
the resolution short time after it had
been dropped in the basket on the
speakers desk by Representative Fow-
Ter.
WELL" said the speaker, II don't
know of any law to preventya man
from introducing any kind of reso-
luton he may see it,"
Champ Clark, the minority leader,
said that It did not provide a auf11.
cient proportion Of minority members
on the rules committee. Representa-
tive Norris, Of Nebraska, one of the
leaders of the Republican ''insur-
gents" declared that the '1nsur-
gents" stood solidly behind the princi-
pies set forth in the Fowler resolu-
ton.
