cizes Roosevelt for promising
jobs to soldiers after the war.
That, says Crawford, is a task

If you remember, we ha'
is and gave you a little story
of the word Gerrymander to
show you what can be done
when bad politics are played.
To dive right into our subject,
we will take the Congressional
machine apart and examine all the
gears, pistons, and stuff that
makes it run.
COMMITTEES
Congress does most of its busi-
ness through committees. A bill
can be introduced into ei tn r
hoase of the Congress by any
member. This bill is then referred
to the committee on the subject
to which the bill applies in the
house in which it was introduced.
1t is not unusual for the same bill
to be introduced in both houses
at the same time. This is to make
sure that it will receive considera-
ton. All bills pertaining to finance
arise in the House of Represent
atives and are considered by that
house before going to the Senate.
The standing committees of the
House are such as Labor Commit
tee (this committee can give labor
fair treatment or a batting around
depending upon the type of Con-
gress elected), Military Affairs
Committee, Naval Affairs Com
mittee, Judicial Committee, Con-
gressional District of Columbia
Committee (for the government of
the City of Washington and the
District of Columbia), Taxation
and Finance Committee, these are
all of the House committees that
we can recall off hand, except the
most powerful committee of all,
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee. This committee holds the
AK over all bills and determines
whether or not they shall receive
the consideration of the house. If
a Congress is unfriendly to labor
(this one is) anti-labor bills get
immediate consideration and pro-
labor bills are killed.
The Senate has committees very
similar to those of the house and
they work in much the same
fashion.
SPECIAL COMMITTEE
At various times special COM
mittees are set up for this, that
and the other thing to determine
whether certain type of legisla-
tion is advisable and necessary, or
whether internal conditions in the
Nation should be investigated and
laws made to correct or straighten
out the condition under inverstiga-
ton.
Special committees are such as
the LaFollette Committee, which
found illegal and unfair practices
against labor, the Tolan Commit
tee set up for the purpose of keep
ing a Congressional eye on the
conduct of the war, the Dies com.
mittee set up for the purpose of
investigating Un-American act
ivities throughout the country but
it turned out to be a committee for
the political aggrandizement OF
Martin Dies. The special commit
tees we have named are those you
have read about most in the news
papers and give a good example of
the type of committee Congress
can set up for special purposes.
When a bill if considered by a
committee it is either killed in that
committee or referred to the house
or Senate as the case might be
with a recommendation for pass
age. 1t then goes to the Ways and
Means Committee of the House in
which it originated and the COM
mittee determines whether or not

voice worthy of much praise.
Among her we'll balanced pro-
gram were songs by Scarlatti,

large audience greeted her ey-

applause. There were, of

faults of diction and breath
ing which can be overcome
with training and hard work.
Miss Green's lower tones were
her best, and as she continues
