Since the short speech of SOnator Dubois time feeling In the mater has grown ns It has been tollel about nnl a propositon to change time rules In this partIcular Is sure to meet favor , time ouly dllculr bcimmg to got acton , I Is Ilroposed that nil approprimi- ton hills save those known as the general bills treatlug of all subjects shal bo referred - terell 10 amId hanlied br the commitee as follows : alows ture Agricultural-To the conlnltee : on agricul- Fortifications-To commItee on coast de- tense RIvers and Harbors-As how , to commitee on interIor Improvements Dstrict of Columbia-To the District of Columbia commltce , Dplomatc and Consular-To committee emi foreign relatons , li'tllans-Commmnalttco on Indian affairs.

This would leave the legislative , executIve , the sundry civil and nil lenclency bills to b handled the comnmlttee h1 by commItee on approprla- tons , and by those who favor the change It Is asserted that this 11 be ample for that conmmmmlttee . I Is polntel out that lurlng time consideraton of the postomce bill Senator Blackburn , who hat It In charge , was unable to attend the conference on the dlliomatc ant consular bIll , a1lough the imouse con- forces were renly to canter for three or four days I Is also claimed that time senators who serve on the other commitees woull be better able to handle the various subjects because of tlmelr Intimate nowlellgo of them. ' An arum'ent used Is that the Importance of these committees would be Increased ant as a consequence the Importance of many senators. There would not then ho a struggle for places on appropriations and many senators In caring for their particular Interests would bo glad to serve on committees having charge of an appropriation bIll In whIch they or their people were particularly In- tensted. Time senate commitee on appropriations consists of nIne members and the argument Is made tbat thIs Is too entail I number to have such 'poer , To these nine the remainder - mainder of the senate must come for ap- propriatons of every kind , except those re- hatIng to rIvers and harbors. No man can get a place on this committee unless he has served n considerable time , although this unwritten - written law bas been broken In one or two Instances. The argument Is made that mme commitee should have so much power and further that time growth of the country and the Increase In membership of the senate Is a sumclent reason why the change should be mmaado , mare There may be some tlmcu1y In bringing about a change Two members of the com- mItee on rules are members of the appropri- atons committee ant a resolution to divide up time appropriations might meet wih n great deal of oppositon from this source But the senators who are working for the change say It can be brought about , as almost time entIre membership of the com- mitees , to whom the various appropriation bills would be consigned In case the divisIon was nmade are In favor of the change and are strong enough to carry It through. .
