THE WASHINGTON TIMES, SATUKDAY, MAY 4, 1012. 11 hi ElBEhSOF HOUSE WE TO INCREASE No Reduction in Mileage and Clerk Hire Boosted to $2,000. rft After spirited dobat) ho Hoiibo went on rernrd twlo late vesttrdav In favor of the libcinl treatment of Its own niembciP. although tlio loRlflatlve. iwe-cutlve.

ludlclal hill under discussion Iihm bean c-harJcterlzcd ns anything but Uhijial in Its niovlslcnn for the executive departments and tbc Government employed of WashlnKton. First, the Housa declined to lower tbo mlb'ace allowances of its members, and nn hnui or bo later It voted to Increase from $1,600 to 2,000 per annum the allowance to members for clerk blrc. Questions Honesty. This latter proposition chusccI Con- Krrsninn Fitzgerald of New York to ask, the Democratic party really lmnesl? Dues it mean what It pro- clalmc. or has tt been hlpppdromliiR?" Mr.

Fitzgerald was referrlnu to Demo cratic economy promises, and became Involved In quite a heated argument with Congressman Lever. .1 flclluw-Democtat, ns to whut constituted leal economy, and the difference between -ind "cconoml'al Investment." After the House, by the close vote of 63 to 48, had voted Its members Increased clerk hire allowance, Congressman Bartlett of Georgia obtained the adoption of still another amendment I which was unpopular with some members. Bartlett for Publicity. The Bartlett amendment piovlded that the clerks to members of the House shall be placed on the rolls and this will show to whom the allowance li paid. It was hinted that some members have been accustomed to spending less than the $1,500 allotted for clerical assistance, the remainder being "pocketed" by the member.

No claim was made that this was morally wrong, but the acUon of the House frowns upon the alleged practice of "pooling" whereby- several members utilize the same clerk, at reduced cost to each legislator. Amendment Adopted. Mr. Bartlett's amendment, which cm-bodies a reform for which he has fought for several years, reads as followB. "Amend, by adding to the section the following: 'Provided, that all clerks to members and Delegates shall be placed on the roll of omployes of the House and be subject to be removed at the will of the members or Delegates by whom they are appointed, and' any member or Delegate may appoint one or more clerks, who shall be placed on the roll as the clerk of ouch member or Delegate making fluch Both the amendments wore adopted after Congressman Underwood, presld- hod, overruled points of order rfrade against them.

It developed that there was actual authorization in law for only $1,200 allowance for clerk hire, but for many years the sum of $1,500 had been appropriated. Since no point of order was made against the $300 increase, Mr. Underwood held that a still further increase over the old $1,200 was germane to the paragraph and the point of order did not prevail. Plain Talk In Debate. Plain talk was Indulged In during the debate on the proposition to ln-( crease the clerk hire perquisite.

Several members pointed out that the 1 btU carried no advance In salaries for I Government employes and the execu-1 tlve departments und In a vain at-I tempt to uphold the Appropriation Committee's economy program Chalr- man Fitzgerald and Congressman Johnson, of South Carolina, In charge I of the bill, indulged in heated oratory. i "Uncle Joe" Cannon, who offered the amendment to Increase the sal-I arles of secretaries from $1,500 to $2,000 said: "I am here to sav that mv belief is. and certainly I know from personal experience, tnat does not cover the cost of clerical assistance that I am required to have to perform my duties as a member of Congress touching and Incident to and I doubt If $1,500 will do It for any member. I can not always get 1 a clerk who Is a stenog-1 rapher and typewriter You have nt 1 times, under stress, to have assistance additional to the one pel son. Fitzgerald Objects.

Congressman Fitzgerald declared with much emphasis: "This amendment adds $216,000 to the amount of money paid to members of the House for clerk hire. This Congress at the outset practically reduced the compensation of every emploje In the House except thoso personal to the members of Congress It refused to appropriate an extra month's compensation, which for more than thirty or forty years had heen given to the employes of the House Gentlemen do not need clerks of the character described by the gentleman from South Carolina, Mr Lever, to perform their congressional duties. Those clerks are engaged not In performing groat public services, but In trying to cultivate a public opinion favorable to the members of the House "We might as well face this proposition squarely Is the Democratic party honest? It Is sincere' Does It mean what It proclaims or has it been hlp-podromlng? It Is refusing to increase the compensation of employes In every department of the Government In an attempt to atop the tremendous outpouring of money from the Federal Treasury only to succumb to tho proposition that the allowance to members of this House for clerk hire shall be Increased 33 per cent'" Moving Pictures Of Life in Washington Washington Is to be taken to the country, In the form of steroptlcan and moving pictures.
