Warren Introduces Bills. Senator lYa tie's F,. Warren of Wyoming Wyom-ing iniroduced the following bills: Granting Grant-ing the fcltate of Wyoming two mill ion ftcres of public lands to aid in the building build-ing and maintenance of roads. Permitting Wyoming to relinquish lands heretofore selected under its various grants and not yet disposed of and to fake in exchange an equal area of vacant public lands, the exchange to affect not more than 100. 0u0 acres. ; Providing for reconstruction by the reclamation service of bridges, culverts r nd roads where such construction is rendered necessary by reason of the building of irrigation projects, the costs Jo be charged against the project on iwhich. such work is performed. Kxtend-ihig Kxtend-ihig until -May T, V,;i, the time for completing com-pleting the irrigation of lands under Wyoming Wy-oming Carey act segregation list No. V2, and c:aending until June 10, HO, the 'tone on Carey act list l-r.. To Aid Stock Raising. Senator Ken d rick of Wyoming intro-'d'leed intro-'d'leed a bill amending the stock raising 'bomestead law permitting an cnlryman C" make an additional entry within twen-' twen-' miles of his first entry, so that his .total holding shall amount to imt more 'than t 1 J acres, but to get this additional f;i nd. the en try man must make Improvements Improve-ments to the extent of ?1.L'5 per acre. senator JiKtr:ek also introduced a bill providing that every discharged soldier, sailer or marine, taking a vocational rehabilitation re-habilitation course or who may hereafter J-'ike tuclt course, and who is making or M.ay make a homesi cad entry, shr.1l be ; m-"U it cd with residence on "n is entry equal to tho time spent on vocational study under government appropriation. It is provided, however, that each such entryrnan must reside on his land at least one year. A public building at Kemmerer to cost $05,000 and one at Lusk to coat $50,1)00 are authorised by bills introduced by Senator Kendrick today. There is a possibility that the senate committee to get around the disturbance raised by progressive senators, who are opposing the selection of Senator Boies Penrose as chairman of the finance com- mittee and Senator Francis E. Warren j of Wyoming as chairman of appropria- 1 tions, may submit a new scheme to the senate, namely to present a list of committee com-mittee members, naming no chairmen and recommending that each committee elect its own chairman. If this is done, and it is something never before attempted at-tempted in the senate, there can be no charge that the committee on committees exercised an arbitrary power, and ro-fr-ponsibility for the selection of chairmen will be thrust on the members of the committee if this course is followed. There is a chance that Senator Smoot might be elect ed chairman of appropri-ations appropri-ations as against Senator Warren. This move has not been definitely . decided upon but it was considered today and will be given further consideration before the committee slates are made up. Representative Welling of Utah, with the approval of other members, was allowed al-lowed to take the oath of office yesterday, yester-day, on motion of Republican Leader Mondell, notwithstanding his credentials have not et reached Washingtii. Technically Tech-nically no member can be sworn in until his credentials have been presented, but as there was no question about Mr. Well-ing's Well-ing's election, this special courtesy was exptended. |
