WOULD CLEAR WAY
FOR URGENT BILLS
House Behind Borah and
Penrose to Hold Over Ap-
preparation Legislation.
POINTS OF ORDER BLAMED
Think Highways, Railroads and
Hospitals for Ex-Soldiers Need
Immediate Action.

Senator Penrose's and Senator
Borah's suggestions that the appro-
priation bills now pending can well
go over until the extra session of
Congress in April are finding echoing
sentiment in the House. The propo-
sal of the senators had reference to
the emergency tariff bill. In the
House there are several measures re-
Sarded as important upon which &C
ton is demanded, such as the hum
dred-million dollar highways bill, the
thirteen million-dollar bill for hos
pitfalls for ex-service men and the bill
to allow partial settlements of the
railroad accounts with the govern
ment.
Representative r., Walton Moore OF
Virginia, one of Washington's near
neighbor congressman, has some de-
cided opinions upon the subject,
which he expressed in an interview
today.
Il share the belief of Others" he
said. that as the appropriations that
are made in the preceding bills do not
become effective until July /, it would
have been better to postpone some of
them until the extra session, and give
more time to some of the other. mat
ters that are pressing for considera-
ton.
The announced policy of the House
leader to clear the deck'~of appro-
priation work by the 4th of March
has meant the postponement of a
great deal of remedial and construc-
tive legislation for which the coun-
try has been waiting.
THE seriousness of the jam that
clogs the deck clearing effort is
shown by the mere statement that in
the forty-four working days behind
US nine of the general supply
bills have passed the House, that
none have in final form passed both
the House and Senate, and that the
three bills remaining to be passed by
the House include the military and
naval bills. In addition there will
pro bably be a deficiency bill. And
there are only twenty-seven working
days left"
when the process of clearing the
deck was started, there was a failure
to realize how it might be impeded
in consequence of the recent change
in procedure. that withdrew the pow
er of appropriation from ten stand
ing committees and vested it exclu-
sively in a single great committee.
What has happened is this: The old
rule that subjects to point of ordeS
any new legislative provision at
tached to a supply bill has come
into active use. Such legislation on
the bills when they were reported by
the various standing committees, if
conceded to be meritorious, was ordi-
narily permitted to go through with
out objection. But the situation is
now different. =
Nearly all the bills thus far con-
sidered by the House at this session,
reported by the single committee,
have been pretty. badly mutilated by
the point of order being made and sus-
tanned against legislative provisions.
every often the provisions thus
stricken out would have been to the
