A measure carefully, and often very elaborately, considered and reported by one may be consid- ered de novo and to the same extent by the other. Why not. in order to speed legislation, establish a single joint District committee, to which could be referred bilts originating in either house and empower it to mak: reports to either house, or simultane: ously to both houses, as it may de. | termine? That this would save the {waste of time attaching t inde- pendent Senate and House committee action can hardly be questioned. Nor is it open to question that the reports of such a joint committee would carry a weight and authority that separate reports do not commonly carry S Pleads for Joint Committee. “The justification for such a depar- ture from thé present procedure lies in the fact that the legislative power of Congress over the District is ex- ceptional, just as the requirements of the District are exceptional, and that it would contribute to facilitate Con- gress in performing the unusual func- tions which it must exercise in enact- ing all the laws that are applicable here—a task that Congress did not gests, and, of course, it is not to be ght of. tko hould it be said that the pJan out- lined would be a deviation from the general system of procedure now in force and a sacrifice of the theory pervading that system, the reply is that in conducting govermment differ- [om-es of environment and circum- tances cannot be ignored, but must be reckoned with. sound political philosophy is ex- d in the weil remembered lines declared in nment wh Is best administered is best. ~We should all desire for the District the gov- ers, Representative Moore replied: ] jof the great author wh Too Much Put on Senats, Having spoken with particular ref- erence to the failure of the House to make appropriation for a new con- duit to. make the District water sup- ply safe and adequate, as the water has been shown to be the purest in the country, Representative Moore emphasized that the House was con- on appropriations, Mr. Oropiiation bills are, of course, of prime importance to the District.
