The democratic house may pass "a before election" publicity bill. The democratic members of the house met in caucus on the evening of April 1st. The following are extracts from the Associated Press report: The first act of the caucus was to issue directions looking to the abolishment of about one-fourth of the patronage jobs of the house, saving thereby ?120,680, discon tinues six committees at a saving .50 Warranted For Three Years.

This is a total saving of $182,680 of last year's total expenditures for house expendi tures of $68,000. Following this the caucus adopted resolutions look ing to the simplification of the house rules so that much confusion and conflict caused by tho use of the great multitude of precedents might be done away with. Chairman Underwood of the. com mittee on ways and means presented a resolution to have the caucus de cide on the extent of legislation and its scope to be permitted at the extra session. A committee on organization was authorized with powers to parcel the appointive positions." Under the house organization chairmen of committees will name committee em ployes, such as clerks, messengers and janitors, but who get no other patronage. Other jobs will be dis tributed among members equally, thereby giving to each member not a committee chairman, about $2,000 worth of patronage. Necessarily this patronage will go to the various states in proportion to their demo cratic representation. The six committees abolished are Pacific railroads, levees of the Mis sissippi river, militia, private land claims, manufacturers and ventila tion and acoustics. The predictions of Champ Clark, Chairman Underwood and other leaders that the caucus would be harmonious were borne out. Not a discordant note was sounded at the meeting. Not a roll call was re quired on a single proposition ad vanced by the men who had been charged with preparing plans for or ganization and legislation. Many speeches were made. There was continued debate in which new members participated with freedom but no clashes occurred and no bit terness was manifested. Representative Burleson, of Texas, succeeded Judge Clayton, of Ala bama, as permanent chairman of the caucus, the honor going to him be cause of his gracefully accepted de feat for chairman of the committee on appropriations. , The chairman of a sub-committee on position pruning, presented the economy report, abolishing employes, useless jobs and committees. The committee on accounts was directed to introduce legislation to carry into effect the reduction in jobs and the committee on rules will look after the lopping off of the six committees. Champ Clark, as speaker, is autho rized to fill the regular positions under the speaker and to name also the journal clerk, now under the house, and the messenger at the speaker's desk, now under the door keeper. Patronage is taken away frfrm' tfie sergeant-at-arms, doorkeeper, post master and clerk of the house, who are prevented from appointing any of their subordinates except on the recommendation of committee on organization. These recommenda tions as previously stated are to be based on an equal division of pat ronage among the members. Under the speaker three offices aro abolished, but two offices already existing are transferred to him to fill. Under the clerk of the house, twenty-six positions are abolished at a net saving of $39,970. Under the sergeant-at-arms a cut of forty-two is made in the special capitol police force. The senate will have to concur in this reduction, which includes one captain, two Fortunes in the Rich Rio Grande Valley An Opportunity for Wealth and Independence for All Who Buy a Tract of Irrigated Land in the Famous Mission, Texas, Project.
