MR.. MoNTAGpFs
SUGGESTION.

AS was stated in the Gazette few
lays ago, Congressman a. j. Monta'
,ue Of Virginia, suggests that heads
II departments of the government.
hould be allowed the opportunity O
making their requests known to Con
,ress in persor-that is they SHOULD
oe allowed the privilege of the floor
This is custom in other countrlef
md Mr.. Montague can see no goo'
.eason why it should not prevas
ere.
7 Historians tell us that the constr
ut:on of the late Confederate State
While based upon that of the fedora
government, was in a measure an I'm
royement on that instrument.
Cabinet officers were allowed tn
privilege suggested by Mr.. Monta-
rue.
The Richmond Timcs-Dispatch ir
commenting upon the Virginia
Congressman's movement says:
Congressman Montague's propos"
hat members Of the Cabinet be ad,
nitted To the floor of the House O.
Representative is backed by sount
ommon sense, ana, if adopted b!
Congress, will tend to simplify an
expedite the business Of the naiiona
legislature.
At present, the only way Of obtair
ne information from a Cabinet off
,er is through a resolution reques'
ng it. If Mr.. Montague's idea pr
-ails, information on any point ma
re had without delay and without re
ape. For it is reasonable to assum
hat members of the Cabinet wou'.
lady avail themselves of the pr
'ilege. because, while they would sui
'ect themselves to Interrogation, tire
would also place themselves in pos
;on to be heard OH ali matters af
Getting their departments.
So sane is the principle involve
hat its application might well be ex
ended to State and municipal legs
