the committee means saving of

state. This is not in printing. or In
that alone, but in the handling of the

the whole scheme of the document work

So the senate, after taking square

to fix a salary that would be sure to
get only cheap and inefficient man for

Des Moines. March 27.-In the past
five days, closing with Friday evening
just four house bills were put thru the
finishing process of passage by the
senate and four senate bills were put
thru the same process of nominal COM
pletion. That is eight in five days.
How long will it take to reach the
record of two years ago of one less
than 500 bills passed?
There are now f1fty-five bills that
have passed both houses. Not all of
these have gone to. the governor. No
one has as yet been placed in the
hands of conferees but as to several of
them there is disagreement over amend
ments that must yet be settled.
The eight bills that have this week
gone thru the second house are as fol-
lows:
H. Bill, Brammer. providing for mu-
nicipal courts.
S. 314. committee, appropriating $15.-
900 for rate matters.
H. 500, committee, providing for local
control Of drainage districts.

That is not very large grist for five

COMMITTEE ON COMMITTEES.
Republican to Curb Power Of Party
Leader in Next House.

eSeNSs ~ 'SV<s ''SSSSs
Washington. March 27.-When the
new house is organized, as it will be
at the outset Of the next session,
whether extra or regular, the republi-
cans will undoubtedly make provision
for a committee on committees to fill
the republican committee places.
Jim" Mann, minority leader, will not
be allowed to fill the committee places
as he did in the last house. Then, the
republican membership was small and
it made little difference. Now. the re-
publicans lack but little of being as
numerous as the democrats, the filing
Of the positions of the republicans on
the committees is a matter of moment
and, besides, the republicans foresee
themselves in control of the house after
the next election and hence they are
not disposed to permit any individual
to make the committee assignments.
Sentiment for committee on COM
mittees has been growing among the
republican members for some time.
Mann knows this and he will probably
take the position a committee on COM
mittees should be named.
Just how the commit tee on commit
tees should be made up is a problem.
The republicans are not disposed to
adopt the democratic plan of having
the committee on committees made up
of the ways and means membership.
They are considering seriously making
up the committee on committees as an
independent committee.
Another proposal is to have the rules
committee enlarged and made the COM
mittee on committees. Still another is
to have the committee on committees
made up of the principal committee
chairmen. But this plan will not be ac-
ceptable to the rank and file because it
would clothe the committee chairmen

with too much power.
In connection with the plan OF having
a committee on committees and the re-
organization Of the house. there are
other important matters the republi-
cans will have to consider. The big
committees in the last house were made
up of two democrats to one republican.
With the increased republican member
sh'p, the republicans are demanding
that they be made up In the ratio of
four to three or three TO two. In fact,
they would like them to be made up in
the ratio of eight to seven but the
democrats will not allow so much OF a
concession.
