Devoted to tin Interests ot Eastern Clackamas County VOLUME XX; CONGRESSMAN STATES Excerpt from speech of John C. Schafer, Fourth Wisconsin District, taken from the National Tribune of July 22: Mr. Schafer. Mr. Speaker and gentlemen of the Houst, I shall vote for this bill, although it does not give adequate relief to the veterans of the Civil War or their widows. This bill comes before us in the closing days of the session under suspension of rules with only 20 minutes’ debate on the side and without an opportunity for amend ment or debate under the five- min ute rule. This is another example of the dictatorship which has enter ed into the government system of America under the present adminis tration. Economy, economy, alleged econ omy. When it comes to pass legis lation to take a few dollars out of the Treasury for the benefit of those who have borne the brunt of battle in the time of the Nation’s wars and for their widows and de pendent orphans economy is the cry, but when the multimillionaires and those representing special privilege — including those who amassed the big fortunes during our wars, and especially during the late world war — want taxes reduced to an enor mous degree then this administra tion advocates and passes at the be ginning of the session a bill provid ing for the relief of this wealthy and monopolistic class. It is about time that this Congress ceases to be a rubber stamp for the Executive Department and the man behind the throne, Andrew Mellon, the Secre tary of the Treasury, who contends that the expenditure of millions of dollars in Pennsylvania primaries were like donations to a church. H. R. 4023 was unanimously re ported by the Pension Committee and placed on the House Calendar on April 9, 1926. This legislation gave real recognition to the veter ans of the Civil War and their wid ows. The committee report shows that the estimated cost of the legis lation embodied in H. R. 4023 was $52,817,000 for the fiscal year of 1927. The Administration and the President knew that if the original bill as reported by the committee had been brought before the House for a vote, there would have been few votes against it. Therefore, the bill was deleted and now, as Congress is about to adjourn, the deleted bill is brought before the House and the memoership of the House is powerless to vote on legis lation which a great majority of the members desire to have enacted. The deleted bill now before us, ac cording to the committee report, will cost $15,000,000 for the fiscal year of 1927. The veterans of the Civil War and their widows have reached the twilight of life, and their number grows less day by day. As a member of this House, I deeply regret that the policy of so-called economy of the Coolidge Adminis tration precludes us from consider ing the original bill granting in creased pensions to these worthy veterans and their widows.
