Senator Owen has in mind a change in

."cloture" but that word describes his

Every person of sense must have been
shocked to read that maps and records
Of the United States geological survey
were placed in peril by a fire in an ex-
press building in Washington, the upper
part of which had been rented by the
United States government. 1t appears
that for years Congress has been urged
to provide safe housing for these maps
and records. The authorization of new
building. but without any appropriation,
went through at the last session. Such
neglect is abominable. and the sooner
an appropriation for a geological survey
building can be provided the better. It's
records are the result of long-continued
and most patient work. and their de-
struction would exhibit national folly of
