For several months the house
of representatives struggled with
water power and water conserva-
ton bills. Bitter controversies arose
over the subject. Finally 1t was found
necessary TO appoint a special com
mittee composed of leading members
of the committees on interstate aNd
foreign commerce, agriculture and
public lands, in order that they might
agree upon a bill. Then "A bill was
sent In by the administration and
after a long and tedious debate it was
passed. Another emergency water
power bill was brought up and again
after the consumption of much time
1t was passed,
What has become of those bills7
They went TO sleep safely and calm
ly In choice plgeonholes somewhere
In the senate wing of the capitol.
Month after month the senate dawdled
along, holding sessions of a few hours.
and adjourning two or three days at
time, but there never seemed to be
any pressure TO bring out these water
power conservation bills. As mat.
ter of fact there was enough dynamite
in those bills to have caused discus
sion in the senate lasting year or
two. The house seems TO have felt
that 1t performed its duty when II
sent the bills to the senate, and as
the measures were passed the mem
bers thought that It was good rid
dance. These conservation bills which
have been before congress for so many
years might well be under the heading
Of wasted efforts in congress"
Scores OF bills have been introduced
in both houses of congress providing
that the uniforms which the enlisted
men of the army have In their pos
session at the time they are mustered
out of the service may be retained by
the men. Under present laws and
regulations the uniforms Of enlisted
men must be returned 10 the nearest
quartermaster within 30 days after
the soldier has been mustered out.
Apparently everybody is in favor OF
the proposition to allow these soldiers
TO retain their uniforms and the only
thing that is lacking Is the legislation.
The senate for several days had
been discussing the buildings on what
Is known as the Union Station PLAN,
a stretch of ground between the cap
itol and Union station which has
been covered up with lot Of hideous-
looking buildings which were to be
used for housing war workers If the
war had continued. One day when
the discussion had been going on for
some time Vice President Marshall
stopped one of the debaters In the
corridor Of the senate and remarked
Il arm getting little tired listening
to all this debate about these build
ines down on the plaza. What you
ought to do with those buildings is TO
make villa for the vice president.
That would settle H." Tom Marshall
has about rs much use for villa as
for a pair Of roller skates. and this
was one Of his little jokes.
