Key West Road Now Topic Of Engineers (Pensacola Journal) Apparently someone aside from this newspaper thinks that completion: of construction of a highway from the mainland to Key West would have much to do with the rehabilitation of the island city.

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 chatged with thinking up! some way of handling the thou-} ands of private bills and claims against the government which are dumped every year into the hop-| pers of the house and senate. Probabiy nothing in house pro-! cedure gives the leaders such a | headache as the private calendar. | On several different during the last session the house occasions | found itself completely paralyzed and unable to proceed because of it. One Objection The difficulty lies im the fact that bills on the private calendar virtually must be disposed of by unanimous consent. One objection | te a bill during its consideration holds it up for the time being. If it is called up again, three objee- tions can kill it entirely. Eagle of Texas, for near the close of the last session held up all of the bills on the priv- ate calendar single-handed. Some one previously had objected to example, bill of his which would have ad-! justed a claim of $4,000, Jagle 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 approved, He relented on the closing ¢ of the session, but before he did he announced that if he turned to the next congress eithe the one-man objection rule would be amended “or there will not be private bill passed in the seventy-fourth congress.” Fence Savers The ablest parliamentarians in congress for years have endeavor ed to work out a better plan for disposing of bills on the private was re¢ i ealendar. Since the claimants can’t sue the government their only recourse to enlist the aid of their repre sentative in getting a bill throuch appropriating the money, Often the time spent costs more than the claim. the face of threats such a 1e made by Eagle and other 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 back home fences in good shape DEMOLAYS PLAN MEETING TONIGHT All speuivensd of the local Ma bodies have been extended attend the con sonic an invitation to ferring of the DeMolay degree a class of three members to take place tonight by Robert J.
