Ileike spoke of the "liberal weights we re

"This trip," Mr. Tawney said, "was not
made for his own pleasure. Congress was
in session when delegations from this house,
from the senate and from the different
states visited htm, urging him to make such

At that time, Mr. Tawney said, there was
no appropriation to meet traveling expenses.
"The president Informed the chairman
of the committee on appropriations," Mr.
Tawney explained, "that personally he
would rather remain at his summer home
after adjournment than to make that trip,
and that the only way he would be able
to make It would be through congress

failed to make at the close of tie sixtieth

Mr. Cullup of Indiana, suggested that it

to a 'controversy between Mr. Cullup and
Mr. Tawney. .
"If a gentleman Is the guest'of the presi

Speaker Cannon took the floor and de

Mr. Cannon said, "they are greater than
those of any executive on earth, save the

He said he would be glad to make the
president's salary $100,000 annually and he
wanted not only the president to be able
to travel, but he said he would have a re

should see the country for which he was
