Republican members of the house of representatives have an organization known as the Re- publican conference, which is sometimes referred to as the caucus. This organization has its own c h a i r m a n, Congressman Woodruff of Michigan, and its own secretary, Congressman Case of South Dakota. Meetings are held when called by the chair, or by Leader Martin. The con ference appoints minority mem- hers on the house committees, the employees of the minority side of the house, and conducts discussions of policies and bills. | It may, of course, take any ac-1 tion deemed necessary for the functioning of our side of the aisle in the house. Contrary to popular opinion, however, the Republican conference does not take any votes on legislation or make any decisions which are ex pected to be held binding upon Republican members. No Repub lican member of the house is ever compelled to do anything either by the leadership or by the con ference. This week, the Republican con ference, in addition to complet ing committee assignments, mack' two very important and far- reaching decisions. .It set up, by formal resolution, a Repubblican policy committee, and also by dablished a comit resolution, tec on public information. For many years, the party door leader has counseled with a group of senior members gen erally know’n a s t h e steering committee. It has been an intor mal group, and its personnel has varied from time to time. I do not recall that the names of those who were considered to be on the steering committee have ever beejn published. The resolu tion just passed abolishes the steering committee and provides for the election of a house Re publican policy committee of 22 members. The rule of seniority in selection of policy committee members is abolished. The mem bership of the policy committee is selected proportionately from nine geographical divivsions of the World’s Best Climate the United States. The most in teresting provision of the resolu tion creating the policy commit tee is that it provides that the Republican members of the house in each geographical division will meet and select the member or members of their division who will serve on the policy commit- tee. The Pacific coast division will have two membebrs on the policy committee, and these two will be selected at a meeting of the 21 Republicans now’ serving in the house from the Pacific coast. I had the honor of being a member of a subcommittee of 5 which wrote the resolution and worked out the geographical lo cations. Our plan was accent cd by the conference without any change. The creation of the committee on public information was made necessary by the fact that we Republicans in congress seem to have failed to accurately and fully acquaint the people of the country' regarding our activities and policies. This matter has been discuss- ed by the Republican members for some time, with the result that, a few’ months ago, Speaker Martin, now’ minority leader, no- pointed a committee to study th' problem and report to the con ference. The committee consist ed of five members under the chairmanship of the Honorable James C. Äuchincloss of N. J. I was also a member of this committee. The formation of a policy com- PAGE THREB mit tee which actually represents every portion of the country, and made up of representatives chos en in a truly representative man ner, will insure the Republican leadership a well-balanced coun sel by some of the ablest mem bers. In my opinion this is a mar velous forward step and should yield excellent results. Check your car and you will check accidents.

Investors are the people who pay for telephone expansion. The money we use to build new telephone fa cilities comes from the people who dnvett their money in telephone company stocks and fbonds. The dollars we receive for telephone service are iused to pay wagos, taxes and other operating expenses. So, you see, it takes two kinds of money to operate suc cessfully—large amounts of capital to grow and improve facilities, and income from telephone service to cover expenses and to pay investors for the use of their money.
