Last Time Tonight Last Time Tonight DOUBLE FEATURE BIIL “Strictly Personal” FVE MEMBERS OF HOUSE ARE DEVISING PLAN Declare Method of Dispos- ing of Private Bills Nec- essary for Future By HERBERT PLUMMER WASHINGTON, Aug. 1—Five members of the House of Repre- sentatives are working this sum- mer to devise some scheme where- by the tempers of Congressmen may be kept running more smooth- ly. " O'Connor of New York, Green- wood of Indiana and Smith of Virginia, all Democrats, with Mapes of Michigan and Lehlbach of New Jersey, Republicans, have been charged with thinking up some way of handling the thousands of private bills and claims against the Government which are dumped every year into the hoppers of the House and Senate. Probably nothing in House pro- cedure gives the leaders such a headache as the private calendar. On several different occasions during the last session the House found itself completely paralyzed and unable to proceed because of it. ONE OBJECTION The difficulty lies in the fact that bills on the virtually must be disposed of by unanimous consent. One objection to a bill during its consideration holds it up for the time being. If it is called up again, three cbh- Jjections can kill it entirely. Eagle of Texas, for example near the close of the last session held up all of the bills on the pri- vate calendar single-handed. Some- one previously had objected to a bill of his which, would have ad- Jjusted a claim of $4,000 Eagle was frank about it. He served notice that he would not permit a single bill to pass until that one of his which was so “cruelly and unjustly slaughtered” was approved. He relented on the closing day of the session, but before he did he announced that if he was returned to the next Congress either the one-man objection rule would be amended “or there will not be one single private bill passed in the Seventy-Fourth Congress.” FENCE SAVERS The ablest parliamentarians in Congress for years have endeav- ored to werk out a better plan for Sympathetic Service Our responsibility to the bereft is a sacred duty to every member of our or- ganization. At best ours is cne of the most difficult services in the modern so- cial order . . . yet in the face of stress and trial, we make every effort, will- ingly assisting at every turn, to lighten burdens.

' The Alaska South- ern Airways is handling the party. p is for disposing of bills on the private calendar. Since the claimants can't sue the Government their only resource is to enlist the aid of their Represen- tative in getting a bill through appropriating the money. Often the time spent costs more than the claim. In the face of threats such as the one made by Eagle and others a reform ‘is said to have become definitely necessary. And every Congressman knows it is this type of legislation which | does most to keep his political fences in good shape back home. | ol el PIONEER WOMAN OF DAWSON PASSES ON Mrs. Ella Church, co-owner of the Alexandra Hotel in Dawson, | recently passed away. 8She had been a resident of Dawson for 30 years, having come there in March, 1904, and was well-] .mov\n through- out the North. e WOOD FOR SALE Block wood ‘and klindlir.g.
