The six committees which were sup
pressed were those on Levees on the
Mississippi River. Pacific Railroads. Pri-
vate Land Claims. Militia, Manufact-

Some of these committees may have
had IL reason for existence long ago, but
their functions have either become OBJ
solete or have been assumed by other
committees. In the old days the crea-
ton Of committees was encouraged he
cause each committee had room and
clerk. and the chairman Of the commit

and the services of the other. But since
Congress has provided every Repre-
sentative with clerk. and also with an
office in the new office binding of the
House. useless committees need no
longer ne maintained simply for the
purpose Of furnishing clerical and Of
fee accommodations for their chairmen.
The same situation exists in the Senate,
which has kept alive various commit
