Jan. 21.Wuile the appropriation bills-are not as well advanced as they might be . leaders In congress have no fear as yet that any of them will fail passage before the close of the present congress, March 4. . The general appropriation bills are sixteen in number and are for. the pur. pose of maintaining the government for the fiscal year beginning the first of next July. Up to this time the house wherein all appropriation measures must originate, has passed five

-of the supply, bills, he District of Columbia, the pension, the sundry civil, the post office and the legislative, executive and judicial measures, and it now has the Indian bill under consideration. The senate has not yet pass'eU a supply bill but is considering the District of Columbia bill-. t Urge Disposal. . It Is the earnest hope of the Republican leaders . that all of the supply bills will have been disposed of before the close of the sixty-sixth congress so that when President Harding calls the sixty-seventh congress, with " its

A New York evening newspaper has published a list of members of the house 1 of representatives who have placed relatives on the . government payroll to receive all or part of their "clerk hire" allowance. The newspaper in question distributed papers containing . the - article throughout the house office building and to say that this action caused at commotion is stating the case mildly. . Representative R. N. Elliott of the Sixth- Indiaria district is not1 listed among the memers who have followed the practice the. New York newspaper criticises sharply, both in its news and editorial columns. In fact only two

members of the Indiana delegation are named, and In each instance the relatives these congressmen have employed in their offices really work for the salaries they receive. -" Allowed $3,200. For the past two years the house has appropriated, $3,200 ; per year for "clerk hire for. each member of congress. A member can employ one person in his office for the full amount of .the appropriation or he may employ as many clerks as he desires providing their combined wages do not exceed the amount of the appropriation. It is provided further that government employes who receive salaries of $2,-

500 or less per year shall receive an

$240 per year.

women in this question because yon are now eligible to vote and may- seek the governorship nomination," Mr. Kane added with a smile that might be interpreted in various ways. ...... Mr. Kane referred to the. unsuccessful race for the governorship nomination made by James" W. Feeler of Indianapolis who he said spent about $50,000. Mr." Kane said he was sure that Mr. Fesler was an honest man free of any thought of political corruption but he said that $50,000 was too much for a man' like Mr. fesler to spend and that a man of Mr. Feslers kind should net be in the position of having his friends put tip any such amount. ,. Scores On Ryan. , Mr. Kane referred to the situation in Idaho which had already been discussed by Mr. Ryan and said that the fact that the nonpartisan league was about to get , control there Jinder the direct primary ehowed very well the possibilities of the system. "The primary" said Mr. Kane "can be controlled as easily by the party organization as "can the convention and in fact more easily. It has been done. In Chicago there was a fight for the governorship with the Lowden candidate on one side and the Thompson candidate on the other. The Lowden candidate won in , the downstate counties but the Thompson organiza

tion was able to control the primary

in Chicago and elect the governor. , Presents Argument. "I happened :to be. in Chicago at that time and I asked one of the rather important workers if they were not sorry they had to cope with the direct primary. He replied that they were by no

means sorry; that they could handle the direct primary more easily and

Consequently many of the congress-' completely than they could handle any men have at least two clerks on their , other system. Why. 'said Mr. Kane

evidence in a perfectly proper manner Mr. Kane in closing , said he wa aware of the fact that both the primary system and the convention system -might hare evllg and that there was room for argument on both sides but that he believed that except in the rural units, the convention system was preferable. Mr. Kane was greeted with considerable applause when he closed his address. Simmons Speaks. - Ex-Senator Simmons speaking for the primary said that it should not be taken away before the newly created women voters had had even one chance to exercise their rights in 'the selection of candidates. Referring to Mayor Thompson, of Chicago, Senator Simmons said that Thompson . must not be such a bad sort of fellow because he had noted that he was classed as one of the "best minds." Speaking of the expense of holding primaries, Mr. Simmons said he had heard of no widespread objection on this score. "How many petitions," he asked, "have been presented to the legislature complaining f the expense of holding primaries? Were, not the members of this senate nominated by the direct primary system?" he asked. "Would anybody say that this senate is inferior to any previous senate? Is not the same true of the house? Were not the Judges of our higher courts nominated tit the direct primary and will anybody say that they are Inferior? And there are our congressmen nominated in the fame way." Convention Deal. "Who will say that they are inferior? Then why should you repeal the direct primary? Why one time I was a delegate to a state convention and the others of my delegation wish-

; ed to take a look over the city, so J they left the convention hall and left j their proxies with me. Including my ! own vote, I had 16 votes in the palm ! of my hand. There were certain men that I wished to nominate so I went

over to a Tippecanoe county man and told him that I had 16 votes and that if he would vote his county for my man, I would vote my county for his man. And do you know what be said? Young man, I don't deal in counties. I deal in congressional districts.' I tell you this merely to show you what sweet scented things the political conventions sometimes are." "Was .that a Democratic convention you were speaking of?" asked some one in the crowd. " "Yes," admitted Mr. Simmons, with a smile, "it was a Democratic convention." Mr. Simmons said that the direct primary should be retained and that if people moke a mistake under Its operation, the responsibility is theirs. Woman Speaks. Dr. Amelia Keller spoke In favor of the direct primary. She said that the women felt thankful that the Republican party had given suffrage to them and that they had showed their thankfulness in the vote they cast in the last election. "But," she said, "you must not take away with your left hand what you have given with your right." . . Mrs. Keller referred to the many objections that were made against the Australian ballot when the system was adopted.- Referring to interest inprimaries she said the number of people wbe attended them and were interested would be In proportion to the importance of the question to be decided at the primaries. She declared that party organizations control conventions and urged that the primary day be improved, not killed. Mrs. Ovid Butler Jameson of Indianapolis, spoke along the same line.

He preferred to take as an Illustration the state of California where he said the direct primary had been in operation since 1910. , In California in 1910 he said the Republicans nominated Hiram Johnson, a poor man over a wealthy man who had the backing of the Southern Pacific crowd.

ary thought. Strange voices are heard in the street said the young orator ; and we must move with care. j Kane Opposes. I Former State Senator Ralph Kane took up the argument against the direct primary. Senator Kane said the direct primaray might be satisfactory in the so-called rural counties' but he doubted the advisability of the system in such counties as Marion, Vanderburg. Lake, Allen, St. Joseph and others of such population. .And primaries in Indiana he said were actually controlled by the returns from these

populous counties. Speaking of the question of poor men seeking nomination under the primary system Mr. Kane said he preferred to take Indiana as his illustration rather than California. The candidate who was successful in being nominated and elected governor in 1916 he said spent in the neighborhood of $50,000. ' "How many men or women in this audience," asked Mr. Kane "would or could run for governor at such an expense as that for the small salary that the "ifife nays? And I include you
