RATE
BILL FACING
IRATE HOUSE
House Leaders Claim That
Senate Leaders Usurped :
House Authority
BILL is PAS E ID
Approves Increase in Mail
Rates to Meet Cost of
Postal Salary Bill

Washington, Jan. 31.-(By the A.
P.)-The postal pay and rate in
crease bill passed late yesterday by
the Senate today appeared to face the
closed door in the House.
Views of House leaders on both
sides of the chamber that the Senate
in originating the bill had usurped
the constitutional preogative to the
House to initiate all revenue raising
legislation were supported by the
unanimous opinion of the sub-com-
mittee OF it's ways and means COM
mittee.
Despite two decisive votes in
which the Senate took the position
that it was not originating revenue
raising legislation in approving in
ereases in mail rates to meet the
cost of postal salary increase, a re-
commendation was before the House
to return the measure to the Senate
because of this feature of the bill.
The measure has been considered
by subcommittee of the House
pOstOffice committee, but action by
the full committee would be neces-
sary before the bill could be brought
before the I4ouse in case it is re-
turned to the Senate and prior action
on the House side thereby made ne
cessary.
As finally approved by the Senate,
20 to 8, the bill carries, the same pro-
visions for increases in postal salar-
les, effective as of July !. 1924, as the
measure passed last season and We
toed by President Coolidge and a re-
vision of mail rates in almost every
class. The increases, however, are
materially less than recommended by
the postoffice department, particular.
ly in the second class rates.
Senator Moses, Republican, New
HampshirE in charge of the bill, es-
timated that it would require an ex-
penditure of about $68,00O,OO an
nually in increased salaries and
would bring in about $4O,0OO,OOO ad-
ditional revenue annually by the in
creased rates.
