creased pay.
Asked for Increase.
The. House made 8 and 10 per cent
increases OF pay when it passed the
legislative bill. The Senate subcom-
mittee is asked to enlarge the in +.
creases and make them 10 and 20
per cent.
The 20 per cent increases would go
to employees below the $1,000 grade
and the smaller percentages would
apply to employees up to 50 500 a year.
The House fixed the increases at $
5 per cent for employees receiving
81 200 and less and 10 per cent for
employees between 81 200 and $500.
May Ask Larger Raises.
Indications are the Senate Appro-
priations Committee will recommend
much larger increases than the House.
The action on the legislative bill
will probably be the guidepost for
other bills, such as the District bill
the Indian bill, and the agricultu
bill. II the employees under the legk
lative bill are increased those under
the other bills named will be also.

URGES RADIO CONTROL
Secretary of Navy Daniels AdVo'
Gates Government Monopoly.

Absolute Government monopoly of
the radio is advocated by Secretary
of the Navy Daniels in a letter to the
Commerce Committee of the Senate
and the Merchant Marine Committee
of the House.
The letter declares such monopoly
absolutely necessary for the best in
forests of this nation" Further, IL is
pronounced urgent"
A note preparedness is sounded
in the letter. 1t advises that existing
coastal and commercial stations in the
United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Porto
Rico, and the Swan Islands be pur-
chased within two years and that no
license for private operators hereafter
granted extend beyond that period.
Government monopoly would have
many advantages, the Secretary says,
and would make possible a military
censorship in advance of the out
break of hostilities.

THREE REGULAR
SESSIONS URGED
0regonian Introduces Bill Pro-
viding for Additional Meet
ing of Congress.

Three instead Of two regular sessions
OF each Congress are provided In a
bill introduced in the House today by
Congressman Clinton n. Macarthur of
Oregon.
Under the Macarthur bill newly-elected
members would begin their active
terms on the first Monday after the
fourth day Of March following their
election and the incoming President
would be enabled to make his legisla-
tive recommendations to a Congress
that assemblies Immediately after the
Inauguration.
Days for Sessions. -- f-
The days proposed for the meeting Of
the three sessions are as follows:
The first Monday after March 4 fol-
lowing the election OF members Of the
House.
The first Monday in October of the
same year.
The first Monday. in December Of the
following year,
IF Congress would adjourn during the
hot weather periods" said Mr.. Nc
Arthur. land put in the balance Of Its
time in the consideration Of Legislative
business the country would be the gain
er in the matter OF efficiency.
circumstances have compelled re-
cent Presidents to convene Congress
in special sessions time after time,
but, under the proposed arrangement,
special sessions would be unnecessary,
except in case of some great emer-
gency.
Favorable Consideration.
az have discussed my bill with q
number OF prominent members and.
they agree that it ought to be given
favorable consideration. I have also
looked into the question OF It's con-
stitutionality and feel that there Is
no objection to 1t on constitutional
grounds. Section 4 Of Article 1 of the
provides that Congress
shall assemble at least once every
year and that such meeting shall be
on the first Monday In December, un-
less Congress shall by law appoint
some different day.
Under the proposed arrangement,
Congress would meet early in March
and again on the first Monday In Oc
tober In the odd years and on the first
in December in even years,
so the provision that Congress shall
assemble at least once every year
would be compiled with. ! would like
to see this question thoroughly dis
cussed for the present arrangement,
whereby Senators and Congressman
do little or nothing from March to
December and then attempt to trans
act two years business in one year
is not in keeping with good business
principles or sound statesmanship."
