we should talk of where they died,

die. There is no official record that
any of them were shot in the back, "
said the speaker in paying tribute
to those who have "gone west" for
their country. Father O'Connor gave
an inspiring talk that held his listen

TALKSTOKIWANIANS
SYSTEMS AND METHODS EN-
PLOYED BY CONGRESS IN
TRANSACTION OF BUSINESS
DISCUSSED.

BY means of a budget system,
adopted by Congress in 1921, the
work of both houses Of Congress is
done with greater efficiency and salts
faction than was the case prior to that
time, said Congressman Frank Clag-
ue in an address before the members
Of the Olivia Kiwanis club at the Mon
day luncheon.
Mr.. Clague, who was a guest of the
club, gays-sa very interesting and in
structiye explanation of the way in
which governmental affairs are hand
led in Congress and the manner of div
iding the work among the various
committees.
The lower house, which is made up
OF 435 members, is divided into some
~ committees, ten of which are major
committees. Each committee has 20
members, except the appropriation
committee which has 35 members. Ali
bills and recommendations are referr-
ed to these committees and much
time and labor are required in the
performance of the, duties of the ma
jor committees. Conferences with the
president" are frequently held and the
budget, prepared and submitted by a
budget commission, serves as a guide
for the committees in the expenditure
of money.
Before the budget system was ad-
opted money was appropriated thru a
sort of ''grab-all' system, each of the
governmental departments trying .to
get the lions share of public funds
The Presidents Taft, Roosevelt and
Wilson and was finally adopted in
1921.
There was much in the address of
Mr.. Clague that proved interesting and
instructive to the members and of
great educational value. He has pro.
missed to visit the club again at some
future date when he will discuss the
Panama situation and give the club
the benefit of his observation made
their on recent visit.
