Looking In on Congress From
the House Gallery
THE STORY OF A BILL
By CONGRESSMAN GUY U. HARDY
Copyright- Western Newspaper Union.
About the easiest thing in the world
for a member of congress to do is to
Introduce a bill.
All one needs to do is to write the
bill out on a piece of paper and put it
In the basket on the clerk’s desk. Then
it has been introduced.
Many bills are introduced, but few
are passed. In the last congress 16,170
bills and 559 joint and concurrent res-
olutions were introduced in the house
and 5,052 bills and 304 joint and con-
current resolutions in the senate.
Out of all of these, 69 public resolu-
tions and 521 bills passed and became
laws of the lapd. The record for the
greatest number of bills introduced
was made in *he Sixty-first congress,
when 34,383 bids and resolutions were
Introduced in the house alone, out of
which 810 became law.
When the clerk gets hold of the bill
he refers it to the appropriate commit-
tee. And there it may rest in peaceful
slumber forever more, or it may be
heard from again if enough pressure
is exterted in its favor.
Out home a good friend of mine sug-
gested once that he didn't like this
committee system; he thought that
each member should give individual
consideration to every bill introduced.
Imagine it, if you can.
No man can read fast enough to
keep up with all bills Introduced.
Most committees get more bills re-
ferred to them than can be given In-
telligent consideration. So, naturally,
the bills which have the greatest sup-
port in the country get first considera-
tion. Congress gives first considera-
tion to the appropriation and revenue
bills. These and some other bills of
nation-wide importance come along
automatically.
Hearings on Bills.
When a committee decides to give
consideration to a bill, if it concerns
many people or interests, hearings are
held. That Is, people interested are
Invited to come in and tell the com-
mittee why they think the bill should
or should not become a law.
Sometimes these hearings are quite
elaborate affairs. Some last several
weeks and hundreds of people come
from all over the country to testify for
or against the bill. The tariff bill
hearing brought experts and prominent
representatives of every line of indus-
try to Washington.
appropriations committee has
35 members, the ’• ays and means 25
usually some are adopted. On one bill
over 300 amendments were offered.
Often amendments are offered in order
to weaken the bill and help to defeat
it. Amendments not supported by the
committee, have hard sledding and
few are passed. Occasionally amend-
ments are offered by members merely
to enable them to make a speech that
may please constituents interested. It
has been estimated that only about
five per cent of the amendments of-
fered on the floor are adopted.
When the bill is read through for
amendments, which is the second
reading, the committee of the whole
votes on reeommerbling its passage.
If this is favorable the committee
then “rises” and the speaker takes
the chair and calls the house to order.
The chairman of the committee o£
the whole reports the proceedings to
the speaker. Then the bill comes up
for third reading. It is read by title
only and voted on without further
remarks or debate. i
Fixed Up in Conference.
If it is passed, the bill is sent to
the senate and has the same rocky
road to travel over there. Probably
it will have sundry amendments
tacked to it in the senate. Then it
cc-mes back to the house for another
vote. If the house declines to accept
the amendments put in by the senate,
the bill is sent to conference. That
is, a committee made up of a few
senators and representatives, the
ranking members on the committees
that reported the bill out, consider all
phases, endeavor to compromise dif-
ferences, and when they agree, their
report goes back to both houses and
is usually adopted. Once in awhile
the bill is sent back to conference
several times before one of the
houses is satisfied.
Many a proud father of proposed
legislation does not recognize his
fond offspring when It is finally
passed by both houses and is ready
to be sent over for the President’s
signature.
There are several other ways of
getting bills up in the house. Thoce
pertaining to claims, and pensions,
and of a private nature, come up
under “unanimous consent.” On con-
sent day the father of the bill has
good reason to be on the anxious
seat, for a single member may “ob-
> ject” and prevent the consideration
members and other important commit- <* th? J^ery/e’d.om does a men*
tees have 21 members each. The mem-
bers sit around a long table and the
witness addresses tbem. The witness
must know what he is talking about
if he would mak» a good impression.
Any member may interrupt him at any
time with any questhm, and before he
gets through the committee is likely
to find out all he knows and some he
doesn’t know about his subject The
hearings are open to the public.
An official reporter takes down ev-
erything that is said, and later the
hearings are printed in paper-bound
book form. Som» of these hearings,
like that on the tariff, for instance,
run into thousands of pages. They
bring out a vast amount of useful in-
formation. and some of the printed
bearings are practically textbooks on
the subject discussed. The printed
hearings are given to all members, so
that they may become posted on any
proposed legislation. Others who are
interested may, at times, get copies.
After the hearings are elosed the
committee holds executive sessions
and discusses the bill. It may decide
not to report It out. This practically
kills a bill. It may decide on some
or many amendments to the bill, or
it may rewrite the bill In anothearfonn,
or it may report It out as it was in-
troduced.
When the bill is reported out 11
goes on the calendar. There are sev-
eral kinds of calendars, operating for
different classes of bills under differ-
ent rules.
Debating the Measure.
The big bills come up in the com-
mittee of the whole house on the state
of the Union. Debate Is usually two
or four hours, though any amount of
time may be agreed upon. Sometimes
12 or 14 hours has been agreed on.
The time Is equally divided between
tha majority and minority sides. The
greatest fairness as to division and
distribution of time always prevails.
The time is parce'ed out by the chair-
man of the committee In charge on

her object out of spite or on account
of personal enmity. But there are a
half dozen who make a specialty of
studying these bills and stand ready
to see that they are properly amend-
ed or objected to. And many an in-
nocent looking little bill is choked to
death on unanimous consent day.
Some bills come up under a special
rule. Tiie rules committee presents
a resolution prov*ding a special rule
for consideration of a bill. The bonus
bill, for instance, came up under a
special rule. Four hours were al-
lowed for debate and then the bill
came up for vote without allowing
any amendments to be offered. You
had to take the bill the way it was
or not at all. The object, of course,
was to prevent unreasonable and
harmful amendments being offered or
adopted. Men often vote for an
amendment and then vote against
the bill.
Some think that a curb should per-
haps be put on the introduction of
so many bills, but that is hardly pos-
sible. Who would be competent to
censor? Of course the greatest free-
dom In this respect must prevail. Bet
the congress and the country decide
which are worthy and needful. As a
matter of fact when you come to
think about it, the wonder is that
many more bills are not Introduced,
for practically every man and at most
every woman In the country has in
his or her system the idea of some
new law or laws that In bis or her
opinion ought to be enacted. Many

Machinery Is Being Erected to Con-
trol Proteering and Distribution
of Fuel.
Washington. — Secretary Hoover’s!
Coal Distribution Committee is now
complete with the appointment of
Henry C. Spencer to act temporarily
as Federal Coal Administrator pend-
ing developments in the strike situa-
tion.
Spencer, formerly vice president of
the Southern Railway, general pur-
chasing agent of the war-time Rail-
road Administration and in charge of
National coal distribution after dis-
solution of the old Fuel Administra-
tion, becomes administrative member
of the Coal Distribution Committee,
recently named by Persident Hard-
ing.
Driving ahead toward the work of
both obtaining and moving coal,
Hoover announced that the following
have thus far been designated as
members of the Coal Operators’ Ad-
visory Committee under tlie chair-
manship of C. E. Bockus of Virginia;
E. L. Douglas, Kentucky; George S.
Francis, Pennsylvania; E. C. Mahan,
Tennessee; W. J. Magee and E. E.
West, both of West Virginia; C. E.
Tuttle to advise on Lake and North-
west movements, and Lebanon S.
Willard on bunker and tidewater
movements.
The Governors of twenty-three
States, in response to Hoover’s re-
quest, have wired their intention to
erect the necessary machinery to
control profiteering and distribution
of coal within their States. Kansas
already has an establishment under
its Industrial Court and Hoover does
not regard it as necessary to estab-
lish coal control in the Intermoun-
tain and Pacific States, as they have
supplies of coal and fuel oil.
Maentime, acting on embargo or-
ders of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, three coal carrying
railroads, the Lousville & Nashville,
Cheasapeake & Ohio and the Norfolk
& Western have ordered acceptance
of no freight except foodstuffs, live
stock and fuel.
The first named road serves the
Kentucky coal fields, the chief source
of supply now for Chicago and the
Middle West. An increased move-
ment of nonunion fuel is now expect-
ed as a result of the embargoes.
The roads have notified the Inter-
state Commerce Commission that the
embargo orders will be modified as
rapidly as the situation permits.

Austin, Texas.—Because of train
delay resulting from the railroad

The companies are not coming in,

not more than 3,000 officers and men
will attend the encampment. It had

WHY LIBRARIANS LIKE JOB
Get Amusement Gut of Singular
Transformation of Book Titles in
Memories of Readers.
The scholastic hush of the public
library is seldom broken by a titter,
but the librarianettes in the central
circulation department have a steady
refuge from hard work in the com-
pilation of the singular transforma-
tions of book titles that take place in
the memories of seekers for literary
sweetness and light. Herewith is the
latest unofficial bulletin, according to
a New York Sun writer:
“Have you got Jack London’s ‘The
Shout in the Woods’?” Inquired a wist-
ful young thing.
‘“The Shout In the Woods’?” echoed
the experienced librarianette. “Let me
see. I’m sure I can find out which of
his novels you mean. Oh, yes—isn’t
it ‘The Call of the Wild’?”
“That’s what I said,” murmured the
wistful young thing—“ ‘The Call of
the Wild.’”
Of course It’s a pardonable slip to
ask for Galsworthy’s “For Rent’’ when
you really want his “To Let,” The
difference is hardly worth mentioning.
But it’s really almost profane to de-
mand : “The Autograph on the Break-
fast Table.”

Canny Scot.
An American, who has spent much
of his time in Scotland, tells of a
comical blunder which an eminent
citizen of Glasgow was eager to per-
petrate upon the city’s statue of Nel-
son. Nothing florid in the way of an
Inscription was wanted, but something
the merit of which would consist in
Its brevity and sincerity.
“Glasgow to Nelson,” was the ad-
vice given by the American when ap-
proached by the city fathers.
“Aye, a very guid suggestion.” said
one of the citizens. “And, as the toon
o’ Nelson is close at hand, micht we
no juist say, ‘Glasgow to Nelson, sax
miles,’ so that it micht serve for a
monument and milestone, too?”
Sesl Hunting.
Newfoundland seal hunters for gen-
erations have wasted most of their
time in the actual location of seal
herds. It was like spending an hour
looking for a berry bush that could be
“picked clean” in ten minutes.
This appealed to the imagination of
Alan S. Butler, young English flyer,
out gunning for opportunity instead of
waiting for her.
He contracted to locate the seal
herds at ten cents a head, by air-
planes. Now his Aerial Surveying
company is doing a land-office busi-
ness and Butler is on the road to
riches at twenty-three.
It’s a humbug, that opportunity
knocks once at every man’s door. Op-
portunity does pause at every man’s
front gate, but she usually has to be
dragged to the door by a constant
watcher. - ,
Truth is mighty, but error often gets
there first.
