the Democratic members at the be-
ginning of the session and that 1t
would be a mistake if the party did
not embrace this opportunity 10
carry out its promises to the people.
While there was some opposition
to some of the provisions of Mr..
Hays bill expressed by members Of
the caucus, the principal argument
made against it was that if the party
took up general legislation it would
be impossible to make any limitation
on the number Of bills to be consd-
cred at this session At this junct-
ure the friends of the dollar-a-day
pension bill came forward and in
sisted that it would be politicalsui-
eide to pass any legislation unless
pension bill was put through. y
pension bill would more than eat up
the savings which Mr. Hay claims for
his bill. The Democratic leaders say
that a general legislative program
would be disastrous to their economy
scheme.
For the same reason the caucus
refused to put its stamp of approval
on Chairman Padgetts bill for the
partial payment on the construction
work for the navy and the bill
Is. 2OOD providing for the reduction
from one year to six months in the
period of suspension from promotion
/ of officers who were found to be not
professionally qualified. Mr.. Padg-
ett's declaration that these bills were
urgent legislation and would result
in a great reduction in the cost OF
maintaining the navy and did not
move the caucus from it's determin-
alton to shut out all legislation aside
from the tariff bills. Representative
| Garrett of Tennessee also made an
appeal without effect for the passage
of the bill creating a board of health
| for Porto Rico The fact that Mr..
/ Garrett declared that thousands of
/ lives might be saved by this legisla-
/ ton fell on deaf ears. The prospect
of being forced to increase the eV-
penses of the government by the pas
sage of a large pension bill STAN
peded the caucus.
