Senator Bailey Objects.


Senator Bailey Objects.
Senator Bailey Of Texas was prompt to
object. He suggested that the credentials
Of some senator-elect might. be questioned
and that some action must then be taken
by the Senate. If the roll had not been
called previously and the presence Of a
quorum thus determined 1t was not pos
sible for the Senate to act in the matter.
He thought the roll should be called first;
then when a quorum is found to be pres
ent the Senate could proceed to business
that of swearing In new senators, pos
sibly.
Vice President Sherman suggested that
it Is assumed that a quorum is present.
unless the question is raised, and thought,
therefore, that the Senate could act on
credentials without a previous call OF
the roll.
Senator Bacon suggested that besides
the thirty senators whose terms had ex-
pired. fifteen might be killed, thus pre-
venting the assembling of a quorum Of
old senators. Under Mr.. Bailey's con-
tention. he argued, the Senate would be
at a standstill. When Senator Bailey
cited the procedure in the House in sup
port of his position, Mr.. Bacon remarked
that the former House members were apt
to cling to the customs and tradition of
that body, customs and traditions which
did not control in the Senate.
The discussion ended without any
action or decision.

NOTE OF DISC0RD HEARD
IN DEMOCRATIC CAMP
New Member Says Majority Party
in the House Is Inconsistent
in Economy Plan.

The democratic caucus would have done
a better job II it had abolished extrava-
CANT commissions composed Of lame
ducks instead Of one hundred reasonably
salaried jobs, in the opinion of w, B.
Francis, the new democratic member
from the sixteenth Ohio district.
In q letter to Chairman Underwood OF
the ways and means committee, Mr..
Francis says:
II hereby tender my resignation as a
member Of the committee on alcoholic
liquor traffic. While but one Of the as
signments given me is in accordance
with my express wishes. appreciate the
many difficulties your committee had to
contend with in the performance Of its
complex duties, and therefore I have no
complaint to make. However, l fail to
see the wisdom of your recommendations
of the adjustment of some Of the minor
positions in the House organization.
No Protest Heard.
For sixteen years the taxpayers Of the
country have borne this burden, and. ap-
parently. they have done so without pro-
test. Economy in public expenditures is
one of the cardinal principles Of the
democratic party, and I am heartily in
favor OF making good that profession of
party faith; not, however. by the abol-
ishment of a few positions where labor
ing men are employed. but in the elinana-
ton OF highly paid and useless commits
sions. created solely for the care and
comfort Of lame ducks
Plea for Government Employees.
Had your committee indicated de-
sire to economize along these lines. its
recommendations would be met with en-
thusiastic approval, and had your COM
mittee gone further and recommended
an increase in the salaries of the many
anderpaid employees of the government,
and followed that declaration with the
recommendation that the salaries and
mileage OF members of Congress be re-
duced, ! think real enthusiasm would be
manifested by the public generally over
the induction Of democratic Congress- 4"

Looking Out for Party.

They want to put through legislation
which will enable the democratic party
to go before tho people in 1912, in the
presidential and congressional elections
and in the state elections bearing upon
further changes in the United States
Senate, with achievements to the credit
of the party.
Everybody is convinced that it will
take time to carry out this program,
and the leaders in both houses think
the session will last well into the sum-
mer, possibly near to the beginning
Of September.
