lines and which Will pass the house

Curious Geographical Formation.
Since the selection OF the subcommit
tee OF the ways and means comm'ttee
curious geographical formation on
the committee has been noted or
course the chairman OF the commit
tee, Claude Kitchiu OF North Carolina,
Is ii member OF the subcommittee. He
Is the only man from the south. There
are none from the southwest and no
one from any OF the states beyond the
Mississippi river. The other four
members come from Michigan Illinois
Indiana and ohio. four adjoining states
In the middle west.
IL may have been without design,
but It is certainly strange that none OF
the New England states, New York
Pennsylvania. the southwest the
northwest or the Pacific slope was
represented on this subcommittee.
