INDIANANS TO HOLD
THREE TRUST POSTS
Secretaries to President. Vice

From Hoosier State.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
With the election this week of
Edwin P. Thayer Of Indianapolis as
Secretary of the Senate. Indianans
will hold places as secretaries to the
President, the Vice President and the
Senate. Everett Sanders Of Terre
Haute is secretary to Mr.. Coolidge,
and E. Ross BARLEY of Lafayette is
secretary to Vice President Dawes.
Mr.. Thayer was nominated yester.
day by Senate Republicans and the
nomination is equivalent to election.
He was without opposition In the con.
ference, former Senator L. Heisler
Ball of Delaware having withdrawn
from the contest.
The Senate has been without a sec.
retary since the death some months
ago of George A. Sanderson. Mr.
Thayer. who served as a colonel in the
Spanish-American War, was sponsored
for the place by Senator Watson of
Indiana. He is widely known il,

having served as geant-at-arms OF
several Republican National Conven

the District of Columbia, is now pre-
pairing report for the joint commit
tee on the library. pursuant to q joint
resolution Ito investigate and report
to Congress. with estimate of cost. as
to a new location for the conserva-
tories of the United States Botanic
Garden south of the Mall, in the vi
cinity of the present location, and
also as to a suitable landscape plan
in connection Herewith.
While the Sheriff. report will dis
cuss several proposed locations, it will
lean heavily toward relocating the
Botanic Gardens south of the Capitol.
Two years ago a joint resolution was
put through transferring to the Bo-
tanic Garden certain strips of land
along the bed of the old James Creek
Canal, south of the Capitol, to the
river. Another bill has been consid
cred for giving the Botanic Garden
the land between First and Third and
B and D streets.
Still more recently George w. Hess,
director of the Botanic Garden, has
urged that the site between First and
Second streets and street and Maine
avenue be acquired for a big conserva-
tory. where a permanent exhibition
could be made that would be educative
to all the visitors to the Capitol. This
Is said to have the support of the
Commission on Fine Arts. The site
is now occupied by a gasoline sta
ton, a baker and a church.
One of the most far-reaching bills
presented in recent years to Congress
| for Capital development came from
the House committee on public build
| ings and grounds for acquisition of
all the land south of the Capitol be
tween B street and First street
southwest and First street southeast
then flaring out between Delaware
| avenue southwest and New Jersey
| avenue southeast, clear through the
Washington Barracks, BuZZards Point
and the United States navy yard
This measure will be considered by
the House committee on public build
ings and grounds. 1t has long been
contemplated that there should be
some such parkway development
south Of the Capitol to provide cut
| north through the parkway system
| from the river-front drive.

partment Of Agriculture. putting the
Government squarely on record as
backing the cooperative movement
and providing valuable aid TO the
farm co-operatfves through the dis
semination of information and advice.
Efforts will be made by some of the
legislators from the West and North
west to obtain the passage of a modi-
fed HauGen Nc Nary bill TO care for
surplus farm products and keep up
prices Of staple crops. These efforts
are regarded unlikely to prove sue
cessful. The administration has been
opposed to having the Government
enter the field of purchasing farm
products for export in order to help
the farmers. as has been proposed by
the Haugen-McNary bill
Shipping Issue to Come Up.
An effort will be made in Congress
to follow out the recommendation Of
the President that the operation Of
the Government owned merchant ma
rine be transferred by law to the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, under
one head, responsible to the Presi-
dent, instead OF to the Shipping Board.
This will be resisted by those mem
berS who believe that the present
method of control should be retained.
The Senate commerce committee
II is expected, will take up without
delay n bill which VIII be introduced
by Senator Bingham of Connecticut
dealing with commercial aviation and
providing for the appointment OF a
new assistant secretary of commerce.
to have charge of aviation matters
under that department. The bin will
be similar TO a bill which has been
twice passed before by the Senate,
except that II provides for a new as
sistant secretary. This provision is
in line with the recommendations of
the Presidents aircraft board. 1t is
hoped to get this bill through the Sen
ate before the Christmas holidays.
The Senate committee will tackle the
merchant marine problem after the
holidays
Politics and more politics will be in
order during the session. How long
the session will last is something of
a conundrum. In some quarters il is
declared that the session should close
by June l. and in others IL Is pre-
diCted II will run until September.
Besides the appropriation bills 70
meet the Government annual ex-
penditures, the tax reduction bill and
the World Court protocol. little legis
! !slation of far-rea ching importance Is
expected to get through Congress.

be prevented by a rule requiring all
debate during the session to be con-
fined 10 the business before the Sen
ate. by giving any Senator or the pre-.
siding officer the power 10 call the
member to order, whereupon he must
either proceed in order or take his
seat. In case the Senator does not
think he is out OF order he has a
right of appeal. which must at once
be submitted u vote Of the Senate
without debate. This simple rule will
be most effective in the prevention
of a flibuster. ana will not in the
slightest interfere with the proper
procedure of the Senate or the rights
of Senator.
ITO protect the country against one
Senator or a small group In the
closing days OF session blocking the
legislative machinery. the Senate
should adopt a rule forbidding any
Senator. unless by unanimous con
sent. TO speak longer than 80 minutes
upon any measure. amendments or
motions thereto during the last six
days of session. This will definitely
prevent that which we want TO avoid
without hurt TO the general welfare. -
Senator Capper of Kansas, chair
man OF the farm bloc" declared him
selw in hearty sympathy with the
campaign OF Vice President Dawes To
reform the rules of the Senate He
said:
More Power Than President.
The President may veto acts of
Congress only after their passage.
But by finbuster a single Senator. or
group of Senators, may veto the ma
jority's entire legislative program by
crowding il off the calendar through
delaying a vote upon a pending
mea sure.
Il am opposed to giving a Senator.
or q small group of Senators, more
veto power than the President pos
SeSses.
The rule Of unlimited debate makes
this possible. When a motion is be.
fore the Senate relating to pending
legisla ton. il permits any Senator 10
talk on any subject he pleases and as
long as he pleases. with or without re
gard TO the question that is being con
sidered.
I'm the war year, 1917. an attempt
was made TO stop this method Of talk
known as Rule 22.' which limits de-
upon vote Of twothirds majority Of
the Senate, after l6 Senators have
signed a motion to close debate.
This rule has proved ineffective
1t does not sufficiently protect the
country from the member, or small
group Of members. who for any rea-
son would prevent necessary legisla-
ton from reaching consideration and
