No l9-HOw a Law Is Made,
BY WILL p. KENNEDY

these committees Is made up Of ma
jority and minority members depend
ing on whether Republicans or Demo-
Gratis are In control. The committee
assignments are made under a senior
ity rule, the older members having
first call for the committees on which
they prefer to serve.
There are several forms in which
legislative proposals are introduced
private bills and public bills, resolu-
tions, joint resolutions and concur
rent resolutions.
All measures relating to raising
revenune must, by strict provision of
the Constitution, originate in the
House. Every other kind of legisla-
tive proposal may originate in either
Senate or House, and generally iden-
tical measures are introduced at
about the same time in each branch
Of Congress.
A measure may be introduced by
an individual member, although fire.
Quently the views o. a committee
are embodied in a measure and pre-
sented in the name Of the chairman
Of that committee. as are the tariff
and revenue measures. These meas
ures are placed in a basket on the
Speakers table, where they are re-
ferred to the proper committee hav-
ing jurisdiction, and then sent to the
bill room, where they are numbered
and a record made before they are
printed.
Each bill awaits action in a COM
mittee until some member of the
committee moves to take 1t up. If
after 1t is read the committee thinks
1t is not desirable legislation or that
other measures of relatively greater
Importance ought to be acted on
Evening star., 1924-12-14

Although I'VE the people" have
delegates to Congress under the Con-
stitution all power to make the laws
under which we live. few of US know
the mechanics Of aw-making and the
processes by which Congress works.
In fact, many people, as shown in
their letters TO their Representatives
In Congress, think that all he has to
do Is to declare what shall be law,
and that he will do this whenever and
as they say, and that Immediately he
introduces bill it becomes law.
As matter of fact the ordeal
through which bill or resolution has
to go. before it is approved by both
houses of Congress and signed by the
President, is so grueling that rela-
lively few survive. Three-score years
ago Congress had before it only
about 500 legislative proposals, but
the increasing demands of the people
for new laws and new governmental
activities-generally fostered by pro-
pagandists-have become so numer-
GUS that the time of Congress, even
with four sessions, as the Sixty
seventh Congress had, would be lack :
ing to give each measure even a few
moments consideration.
We are now having laws proposed
at the rate of more than 10000 per
session, and the big majority of these
pigeon-holed in committees. Each
measure as introduced is referred to
one of more than 60 permanent stand
ing committees, organized to handle
certain classes of legislation, such as:
Commerce, shipping, appropriations,
immigration, public lands, patents,
banking and currency, agriculture,
military or naval affairs. Each of

FUND FOR BRANCH
LIBRARY SOUGHT.
Commissioners Hope to
Maintain Mount Pleasant
Building Until Next July.

The District Commissioners have
prepared an urgent deficiency esti-
mate for funds with which to main
tain the new Mount Pleasant Branch
of the Free Public Library from the
time of it's completion in February
until the beginning of the new fiscal
year on July l.
The District appropriation act for
the current fiscal year made no pro-
vision for the operation of the new
branch library, which leaves the pros
pect of the new building standing idle
for several months after it's compile
ton unless a deficiency fund is OBJ
tanned.
Covered In New Budget.
In the new budget recently laid
before Congress the Budget Bureau
has made increases in the library esti-
mates over current appropriations to
take care of the Mount Pleasant
Branch for the fiscal year beginning
July l.
The total amount recommended by
the Budget Bureau for the library
system for next year is S251,940, as
against a current appropriation of
s170.55S. A large part of this in
crease is due to the addition of the
Mount Pleasant building to the Ii
brary service.

sent to the President. It IL his right
to either sign 1t, showing his. ap-
proval OF the measure, in which event
1t becomes law; or he may let 1t lie
for q certain time without his sigma
ture, in which event 1t is law with
out his having signed 1t: or he may
veto 1t, and send work to that effect
to Congress-.
Even after the President has vetoed
a measure it may still become the
law of the land without his approval
If passed over his veto by q two
thirds vote in each house of Congress.
And after all this procedure in Con-
gress and submittal to the President
a United States law may still be
prevented from becoming operative.
To the Federal courts, and in the final
analysis to the Supreme Court, has
been intrusted the duty of interpret
ing the Constitution. If the Federal
courts declare any law an infringe
ment on the Constitution the law
ceases to be in force.
So that, when all is said and done,
and the truth known, you see the
laws under which we govern our
selves are pretty well digested and
thrashed out.

first. the bill is laid aside-and thou
sands Of legislative proposals are
thus killed.
II 1t seems a meritorious measure,
hearings are generally held. so that
the committee may be thoroughly in
formed before making a report to
the House or Senate, as the case may
be. and able to defend the measure
IL II Is attacked on the floor of Con-
gress. Most committees are divided
into subcommittee, sometimes as
many as 20, for intensive study of
particular subjects. and usually 1t is
a subcommittee that investigates a
bill and then reports on it to the full
committee.
A committee may decide to report
a measure to the House or Senate, or
1t may amend 1t by making changes
that seem desirable, or 1t may order a
new bill written to conform with
their best Judgment after having
heard all sides of the question, or 1t
may decide not to support any legis-
lation along the lines proposed.
When reports are made to the
House or Senate they are printed and
available for study by all members
of Congress. Hearings are also print
ed and also available for study. A
bill which receives the favorable rec
ommendation of the committee best
qualified to pass on that particular
subject is usually passed.
If a bill is acted upon first in the
House, 1t is then sent to the Senate,
where IL goes through the same proc
ess of committee consideration.
Each bill or resolution has to be
read at least three times in both
House and Senate. Usually the Sem
ate makes some changes in a House
measure, through amendments, or the
House makes some changes in a meas
ure that the Senate passed first.
Since no bill may become law
until it has been approved in exactly
the same form by each house of Con-
gress, conferences are held between
the two houses, through joint com
m lttees, to reach an agreement or
adjustment of these differences. Then
the House members on a joint COM
mittee have to report back to the
House and the Senate members on
the joint committee have to report
back to the Senate.

to accept the bill as adjusted. it is
