To the delight of the crowds in
the galleries. q one-man filibuster en-
livened proceedings in the House for

It was provoked by the refusal of
House Leader Monde1l to answer in
duiries whether the Winslow rail-
road relief bill would be called UP
The Winslow bill, reported by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
would permit partial payment to the
railroads Of funds due them under the
guarantee provisions Of the transpor-
troiler Of the Treasury all funds have

cized by Representative Rayburn.

utes, and not to permit amendments.
Thereafter Representative Huddle-
ston, democrat, Alabama, opposed to
the Winslow measure, took more or
less charge of proceedings, and q score
of republicans were on his neck at
times in an effort to prevent delay of
the Army bill, which was before the
House.
Chairman Campbell of the rules
committee when questioned of the
floor said no rules had been reported
under which the railroad bill could be
brought up and given the right Of
way. II taken up under suspension of
the rules the measure could be passed
only by two-thirds vote.

chemical warfare service for the next

SOLDIER INTERESTS GAIN,

SON OF LINCoLN's FRIEND
TO EULOGIZE HIM IN HOUSE
Representative Richard Yates Of Il
Unois Is Elected Orator for
Ceremonies Saturday.

Representative Richard Yates OF
Illinois, whose father was the civil
war governor and a close Personal
professional and political friend OF
coins birthday orator in the House
Saturday. He has been assigned
forty minutes in which to eulogize
Lincoln.
sentative Yates as the orator was
pointed out in the House by Repre-
sentative Horace NJ. Towner Of Iowa
who recalled that the senior Yates and
Lincoln were born about the same
time. They were admitted to the prac-
tice of law about the same time. They
lived in adjoining counties, Lincoln
at Springfield, in Sangamon county
and Gov. Yates at Jacksonville, in
circuit together as practicing lawyers
at that time. They both served in the
state legislature Of Illinois. and they
both served in Congress here In the
fifties. The one was candidate FOL
President Of the United States In 1860
and the other was candidate for gov
ernor OF Illinois.
at may be stated" said Representa-
tive Towner, that they made the
campaign together, although it Is well
known that Lincoln did not leave his
front porch. They were In constant
consultation during these years. Dur-
ing the war Gov. Yates visited Wash
ington frequently. He was elected to
the Senate in 1864. and took his place
in 1866, the 4th Of March. He was
almost daily in consultation with Lin
coin until his assassination and death
the 18th Of April.
"It is exceedingly appropriate in
view Of these things that the son OF
Gov. Yates, who has himself been gov
ernor of the state Of Illinois. and who
grew up in an atmosphere that was
born Of the intimacy with the great
martyred President Of the United
states, should deliver this address.
think 1t is indeed fortunate that we
may have an opportunity OF hearing
from him at this time and on this
occasion"

WANTS COAL REGULATED
Geological Survey Director Favors
Calder Measure.

Regulation Of the coal industry to
prevent prices rising too high or go
ing too low was advocated yesterday
before the Senate committee consider
ing the Calder coal regulation bill by
DR.. George Otis Smith. director of the
geological survey.
Further light on coal mining profits
Of 1920 also were developed by re-
examination Of David l. Wing. statis-
tfcian employed by the Calder invest-
eating committee, who cited some
cases where operators took as much
as $7.91 profit margin on coal which
cost $4.12 to mine. The lowest profit
per ton, he estimated. was $1.72 ton,
but only June, July and August earn
ings were considered.
DR.. Smith was led into sharp tits
with Senator Reed, democrat, Mis-
souri,, on cross-examination the latter
asserting that the witness was aim
ing "at John D. Rockefeller sta
bilization OF industry to prevent COM
petition"
The committe will continue hearings

The Senate.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The democrats. after having sue
cessfully placed the republicans of
the Senate on record as insisting
that the Fordney emergency tariff
bill must be passed. are now un-
dertaking to compel the republic
cans to bring the tariff bill to a
vote. The democrats are con-
WINGED that the bill. which, IL it
does anything, will keep up the
high prices Of foodstuffs. will be
thoroughly unpopular with the
people.
While there are q number of the
republicans who are strongly in
favor of the enactment Of this
observation-disclosures to aid the
farmers. its trainers say-there
are others who dread the political
effect the measure will have. But
apparently the republicans are too
far in now to turn their backs
upon the bill. 1t is likely that it
will come to vote within the
week.
In the meantime the close Of the
present Congress draws on apace.
There are only twenty-five legis-
lative days in which to jam
through the usual supply bills for
the government, together with the
emergency tariff and other meas
ures, such as immigration. 1t is
the same old congestion that usu-
ally is found in the wind-up of a
Congress-. The Senate has taken
to meeting an hour earlier each
day, and it may be that night SEES
SONS will soon be resorted to. The
sundry civil appropriation bill was
gwen the right of way in the
senate yesterday and may be
passed tomorrow. The legislative,
executive and judicial appropria-
ton bill is due to be reported to-
morrow by the appropriation COM
mittee.t The pos Lotfice approprla-
ton bill; the indian approprla-
ton bill, the agricultural appro-
priation bill and the pension APP
preparation bill are waiting their
turn in the Senate also.
The Senate will be called upon
this week to vote on a motion to
override the Presidents veto of
the joint resolution directing that
the Army recruiting campaign
cease and that the Army be limited
to $4,000 men. That the Senate
will override the veto by a sub
stantial vote was the prediction
last night.
Supporters Of legislation to re-
strict immigration are pressing
vigorously for action at the pres
ent session. The Senate immigra-
ton committee is slated to meet
Wednesday to take action on this
matter. 1t is believed that a COM
promise measure will be reported
out, limiting the number of immi-
grants, but not suspending immi-
grafton entirely.
The demand for suspension of the
naval building program for six
months, SO that the experts may
determine whether the battleship
is obsolete, has been considered
by the Senate naval affairs COM
mittee and 1t is expected the COM
mittee will report against such
suspension. Senator Borah of
Idaho, who sponsored the proposal,
however, may make an appeal for
favorable action in the Senate
itself.
Soldier bonus legislation and
legislation granting a bonus to the
federal employees will be given at
tention this weak The conferees
on the Jones-Mapes bill dealing
with the fiscal relations Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia and the federal

lions only. 1t can fairly be assumed
that in the course of time these sub
committees VIII become highly expert
in the particular field with which
their appropriations deal.
One-Committee System sound.
From both a scientific and practica,
point of view the one-committee sys-
tenn Is sound. The entire financial
program of the government is brought
Cnder review by one agency which
takes the responsibility to the House
for any increase or decrease in the
program Here is concentration of
authority and unity of responsibility,
without which the finances of the
government can never be treated In
businesslike manner
The Senate will probably take the
same action as the House. Senator
Curtis of Kansas has already intro
duced a resolution eor a single com.
mittee on appropriations. with full
jurisdiction. and il is assumed thai
this will be passed at the next ses-
sion.
The Senate has even gone further
and abolished large number Of use-
less committees. including ten COM
mittees on departmental expendi-
lures. In n ..e of these ten commit
tees their IS created a single COM
mite on expenditures for the whole
government. When the budget bill
is passed 1t is the purpose for this
committee to work in close conjunc-
tion with the controller general, and
1t bids fair to become one Of the most
important committees of the Senate.
even as the public accounts commit
tee of the British parliament has be-
come important in that body. The
resolution for this committee passed
the Senate in the last session, to
take effect in the next session. III
1t Is part of the budget plan for the
House to take similar action. Then
each branch of Congress will have q
single committee on appropriations
and single committee on expendi-
lures. the one working in close har-
mony with the budget bureau. and
the other with the general account
ing office.
These are the four links in the bud
get system: % Preparation Of ting
estimates by the budget bureau: (2l
consideration of the estimates by q
single appropriations committee: (3)
audit and investigation Of the ex-
penditures by the general accounting
Office. and a. consideration Of the re-
ports Of the general accounting ONCE
by one committee on expenditures.
This budget program Is considered
one Of the greatest reforms In the
history Of Congress. There has been
nothing like it since the days Of
Alexander Hamilton, who took charge
of the disorganized finances of the
, new federal government and welded
them into q logical system. The need
for reorganization today Is greater
than it was in the days OF Hamilton.
and the country expects Congress to
deal with the matter in large way.
Congress has so acted and will con.
tinue to so act.
