PAGE TEN TOTH CONGRESS 1S FOLLOWING ANCIENT RULES Vice President Dawes and Chief Olerk Page Call Sen- ate and House to Order Washington, Dec. 5. der mandate of the con: new congress, the seventieth, as- sembled today on Capitol Hill. Noon marked the hour for the bang of gavels in the senate by Vice President Dawes and in the house by William Tyler Page, chief clerk of that branch of the legis- lative machine. Under programs in ase since the beginning, the senate had to elect a president pro tem and swear in one-third of its membership, while the house was called upon to bal- lot for a speaker and to administer the oath of office to all of its 435 members. Procedure in the senate, where Senator Moses of New Hampshire had the endorser-ent of administra- tion leaders for the office of presi- dent pro tem, called for less time than in the other chamber. Must Establish Quorum By direction of the con. itution the house, before getting down to business, fi the necessity of es- tablishing a quorum, not only in number of members, but also in state delegations. Only at the open- ing of a session must the call by states be taken. During these openirg roll calls and the subsequent clection of a speaker the clerk of the house alone has the right to preside. This is because the house, unlike the senate, is not a continuing body and up to the time of tak’ the oath today all members of the house have been only representatives-elect since they were chose: <‘ the polls 13 months ago. Today, after ‘he had ordered a quorum established, Page's next task was to supervise the balloting for speaker, a perfunctory proced- ure this year. Nicholas Long- worth of Ohio, up for re-election, had opposition only fro: Fini Garnett of Tennessee democra floor leader, wh.se chance to be- «come aker disappearec at last year’s election when his party failed to establish a majority‘at the rolls. To Inform President With both house and senate or- ganized for business, the procedure called for the appointment of a joint committee of the two houses and the direction of the committee to inform President Coolidge at the White Houre that congress had con- vened. The instructions of this ~>mmit- tee also required that the president be advised that the congress await- ed his views on the state o* the union and any information that he might desire to bring to the atten- tion of the legislative body. For years this corimi.tee has been composed of the republican and democratic floor lerders in the two houses. Pending its report back to the two hous made necessary the sand adoption of resol respect to members who have died since the last session, and then {upon receipt of thc committee re- port adjournment resolutions were privileged as a further mark of re- QUBER KINKS INLAWS SHOWN ‘Attorney General Submits Nu- merous Recommendations For Speeding Justice Washington, Dec. 5.—(7)—Some queer kinks in the laws were re- vealed today in the annual report of Attorney General Sargent who sub- sened ae secrenimeniaton» for sppeeding up ice reliev- ing the clogged calendars in federal The seer general pointed out that while it was a federal offense to assault, or wound a United States officer, it was not a federal offense to kill him, and the depart- of justice wants this situa- corrected. ’ the recommendations con- in the report was one that law be amended the presence of a steno; he: cad juries and still ane ‘would increase the number of THE BISMARCK Congress May Shape Fortunes For 1928 Presidential Race. i POLICE HUNT LOOT TAKEN BY ‘CRIME TRUST" Group’s Activities Revealed by Kidnaping of Morris Rois- ner of St. Paul Chicago, Dec. 5—()—Loot valued at sero ees eran the last year by a 1 trust” today was the object of an intensive search by police of this and other midwest cities, The kidnaping and subsequent re- lease of Morris.Roisner of St. Paul | Edwi led to revelations of the activities cS deed ta i Gh was y gangs ¢ Thprs- and held until Satanian for $75,000 ‘ransom.

SCOUT LEADER | PLANS SCHOOL, | Standard Training School For, Teaching Boy Scout Work Announced | Bismarck will have its first train- ing school for scout leaders in about two weeks, according: to an_ an- nouncement’ made today by W. G. Fulton, director of boys’ and girls’ welfare work. Aside from the scoutmasters, as- sistants, troop committeemen and members of the local council, any other men who are interested in the scout movement and the scout pro- gram are invited to attend the six weeks school that will be held every Monday night. aie Those attending the school will be organized into a regular scout troop, divided into patrols with pa- trol- leaders appointed for each. The various methods of teaching scoutcraft, the technical side of! scouting, games, songs, stunts and! programing will be taught by a scout faculty. I} is hoped that the course will be accepted by the na-| tional council as complete enough to award to those passing the ex- aminations a Standard Leaders} Training Certificate. It will be the policy of the local council to consider a new scoutmas- ter on probation until he has suc- cessfully taken some training work. Thirty-two will be the maximum enrollment and there will be a smal charge to cover the cost of the liter- ature that each man must have.

Senator Nye declared that these political football.” It is their plan, he said, to have late votes in the house and senate in the belief that the bill will he vetoed again by President Coolidge and no farm legislation enacted, Calls For Another Vote The North Dakotan called for an- other vote on the McNary-Haugen bill before March and urged if it ‘as passed again by congress and vetoed by Mr. Coolidge that a straight-out subsidy plan, now un- der consideration as a compromise, beepassed. “The second choice,” he said, “might well an out and open sub- sidy pla: eptable to the farm- er as a last resort. Such a plan op. erated single year would serve to convince present McNary- Haugen foes of the wisdom of its acceptance in preference to contin- ued drain upon the federal treas- ury.”” The statement of Senator Nye brought into the open rumblings heerd abont the capital lately that cme of those interested in the cam- n-ign of Frank O, Lowden for the ~~» nvreridential nomination would not object to making the Mc. _~a will an issue and for that reason were not interested in other agricultural relief proposals. It also brought to light the dis- cussion going on for a compromise on the measure vetoed last year by the president, revealing it is in the nature of a subsidy plan in place of the equalization fee.
