WORDS KILL BILLS
Tactics Often Used in Senate to
Defeat Measure.
II Ship Purchase Bill Fails Of Passage
the Result May Come From Inter
esting Process Of Talking
Bill to Death.
By EDWARD 3. CLARK.

(Staff Correspondent Western Newspaper
Union)
Washington.-If the ship purchase
bill which the administration desires
to have passed shall fail of passage.
the result will come from the killing
process known as talking a bill to
death. Now the senators who sue
coed in defeating bill by debating it
at extreme length, thus preventing 1t
from coming to a vote, always say
that they simply are giving the pro-
posed legislation proper discussion
1t is the members favorable to the
measure who insist that the bill which
they support is being talked to
death"
The records of congress show that
both big parties have had a share in
the work of smothering bills to death
with words. There are some marked
instances of this course of procedure
in the United States senate. The
house members cannot talk bill to
death. because there is a day set for
a vote and the vote must come In the
senate. however. only by unanimous
consent can a day be set for vote.
So il is that unless the rules are
changed. which is not at all likely, fu-
ture bills can be talked to death Just
as bills of the past have met the same
fate.
Some years ago Senator Thomas H..
! Carter of Montana, now deceased,
talked river and harbor approprla'
ton bill into its grave. 1t is possible
TO talk bills to death in the senate
both at the short and the long sessions,
but the chances of doing it OF course
are greater at the short session, when
congress must adjourn to March 4. Az
a long session the date of adjourn
ment can be set forward and the talk
ing members can be tired out, but II
they show great strength of purpose
and If lungs they can worry the pro-
moments of the bill by pOstpOning the
day of adjournment, and so frequently
hills friends surrender and allow ad
iournment to come and the bill which
they favor to die
During the Roosevelt administra
ton Senators Stone of Missouri ahc
Gore of Oklahoma, Democrats. anc
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin, Re
publican, tried to talk the Mdricf
emergency currency bill to death. the
three talked day and night, relievni
one another as the speaker became
exhausted. Senator Gore Is blind, aht
after talking for hours he sat down
thinking that Senator Stone was II
the fine chamber and ready to relieve
him. Both Senators Stone ana Ii
Toilette we're absent taking rest
the time, and, Selling advantage o
the situation, the advocates or I'M
measure succeeded in forcing vot
and the bill was adopted.
