Chargesymade on the floor of the House that by his one-man filibuster he had cost the taxpayers $281,000 were replied to by Representative Voigt of Wisconsin' in a statement glven out last night. “My filibuster did not cost the gov- ernment a cent, except possibly a charge for electric lights during two night sessions,” said Mr. Voigt. “The members of the House and all employes are on an annual salary basis, which was not increased or decreased by the filibuster. It makes no difference, so far as the House ex- penditures are concerned, whether it is in session one hour or ten hours each day. It is not too much, in my opinion, to ask that at least ane-haif the membership of thé House shall be present attending to their official business when legislation is under consideration.” % —_— PLAN U.
