washington, May Representa-
tive Hanna's assignment to the COM
.mittee on expenditures in the interior
department promises to prove very
important assignment this year. Ordi-
narily assignments to the different ex-
penditures committees are regarded as
funny, but 1t seems the democrats pur-
pose to put these committees to work
this year and cause an investigation
into the expenditures Of the different
departments of the government. or
course the democrats have their axes
to grind and this in large measure
explains the much advertised purpose
upon the part OF the democrats to in
vestigate the government departments.
In assigning Mr.. Hanna to the COM
mittee Minority Leader Mann was not
unmindful Of the democratic penchant
for Investigations. He placed as nil
nority members on the expenditures
committees only such men as he knew
were fitted to delve into the maze of
accounts as will confront some Of these
committees. Representative Hanna's
experience as a successful banker and
business man naturally suggested it
self to Mr.. Mann when making his mi
nority appointments, and it was only
natural, therefore, that he should hit
upon Mr.. Hanna as one OF his lieuten-
ants in that important work.
The republicans maintain that the
executive departments have not been
extravagantly managed and they pro-
pose to demonstrate this fact to the
satisfaction of everybody when the in
vestigations are once under way.
Mr.. Hanna's friends are expecting
great things OF him during the investi-
cation.
Pastor Persenious of the Swedish
Lutheran church of Grand Forks has
advanced novel proposition in a COM
munication to Congressman Helgesen.
The reverend doctor has conceived the
idea that clergymen should be permit
ted to make homestead entries upon
the public domain without being re-
quired to reside on the land five years
as required by the homestead laws.
His reason for this is that a clergy
mans vocation is such as to make 1t
physically impossible to live up to this
requirement. In justification OF such
law he declares that clergymen are
the most poorly paid men In the coun-
try and at the same time render serv-

NATIONS TO UNITE
Five South American Repub-
lies May Merge.
fNational News Association

Washington, d. c., July 5.-The
State Department is awaiting with
interest the confirmation
of the report that a secret meeting of
ment's of Venezuela, Colombia, Euca-
dor, Peru and Bolivia is now being
held for the purpose, it is alleged, to
discuss a proposal to form a fedora
ton of these five South American re-
publics under the name of Gran Col
ombia." On several occasions during
the past hundred years ATTEMPTS were
made to form considerations of some
of the South and Central American
republics, but the attempts were new
er successful.
The State Department does not anti
cipate the probability at the present
time of the formation of an actual pol
itical federation of the South Ameri-
can republics named, but fully realizes
that any movement in that direction
is principally aimed to counterfeit the
growing influence which is steadily
growing and which is known to be ex-
tremely distasteful to the people of the
Latin-American republics of South
American and Central America.
