ni 1 THE SHERMAN COUNTY JOURNAL, PAG! 4 NATION'S LAW MAKERS SEN AS HARD WORKERS Ranker Tells of Labor Put in by Members qf Congress on Mass of Technical Measures » UTLINING legtslxtive procedure. O Robert V. Fleming, President Riggs National Bank, Washington D. C-. gave the recent convention of the American Bankers Association a description of ' tbe difficulties and problems confront Ing the law makers. Mr. Fleming said in part: “The most important part of organ! cation of tbe two branches of congress is election of standing committees There are 34 standing commH'oes in tbe Senate and 46 in the House. T! (’<•? are the workshops of Congress and tbe real work of lawmaking is done In Committee Rooms. •‘The task of legislating for 124.000. 000 people is a tremendou one. Of re 000 billa cent years approximately are introduced annually hi i he ’wo Houres Only a small percent • • »o- come law. but they must be weighed .n committee, accepted or rejected, per haps amended, reported out, and then considered on the floor. “Lawmaking involves about 99% of hard and unspectacular work and about 1% of oratory. Few tasks ap pear so easy and are so dlfficu't as en actment of sound and satisfactory leg islation. Few Individuals In any line of activity work harder or longer hours than the chairmen of the Important committees during a session. 1 have great sympathy for the members of Congress wbose constituents expect undivided attention to every piece of legislation In which they may be Inter ested. From my persoqal observation, they earnestly and conscientiously en _ deavor to do all that Is humanly pos sible. Publlc Hearings “When a bill is Introduced, referred to committee and printed, the next step. If it Is a measure of considerable Im portance, ie to conduct a public hear ing. Tbe committee makes an effort to listen to anyone who cares to be heard either for or against a measure, al though witnesses are frequently limit ed as to time. Members of tbe Cabinet and other officials of tbe adminislra tive departments of the Government usually testify on measures In which they are interested and furnish the committee information in executive session or otherwise. In this way the Administration takes a prominent part in shaping legislation. “Due to pressure of work and the fact that it Is impossible for members of Congress to be technical experts on every subject of legislation, the com mittees are inclined to give considera tion to the merit« of arguments pre sented in testimony and the recom mendatioas of tbe Cabinet and other officials. It Is therefore highly desir able, both rrom the standpoint of Con grees as well as those affected by pro posed legislation, that the latter have an opportunity to fliscuas frankly tbe . effect« of <uch legislation. “We sometimes complain about tbe ** technicalities of legislation, but when I* we observe organized minorities eu- (•deavoring to force class legislation ” through one House It Is a comfort to know such measures may be caught in the meshes of technical procedure in the other and there suffer what is termed automaUc asphyxiation.’* . 5 I A Country Editor Looks at Banking HE editor of the Norwalk, Ohio, T Herald takes a somewhat different ▼lew of the banking situation from a 4 II good many people. His Idea is as follows: “With rents falling anu unpaid, real estate does not present a happy pic ture. Nor does the owner of care fully selected bonds feel any happier, with a bunch of tbem going wrong. A lot of folks very carefully Invested in preferred and common stocks In the finest companies in the world and have seen them fall to perhaps a tenth of what they paid for them, and no div idends at all. Some folks kept their money In savings accounts in banks, and some banks have closed snd left tbem high and dry. But the situation Is worth looking at very carefully. “On government authority, most banks that closed wero really solvent but for froien ssets and popular timidity. G.«dually the closed banks are coming out from under and de positors in even bad cases will get at least SO per cent of tbelr savings. That's tough of course; nobody, like« to lose half of what they bad scrimped and sacrificed and saved. But when you hoard and stick the roll of bills in a coffee pot or under a mattress, some plug ugly comes along and burns your feet till you tell him to take It and welcome. “And what about the great majority of banks that weathered the storm, met all comers and are doing business as usual, carefully and conservatively, but safely? What about the savings in those banks? They are a full 100 per cent todsy—and they are the only thing Wf know nf ,i. ¡fill rnr roof rat - where. After all la said auu uua«. u good, well managed bank Is Still tn« best place In all the world for money or savings. Right now I d Ohio the banks pay tbe taxes on all savings snd pay their depositors net Interest on tbelr savings. We can’t think, just now, of many other investments that are a tenth as sate ai a savings ac count in a solid bsnk. Why, even a savings account la a closed bank la actually worth moro today thin moat Stocks.” MORO, OREGON, FRIDAY, PECEMBER 30, 1932 from the 25th day of November, 1933, the holidays with their daughter and of the County Court of Sherman at the rate specified in said judg County • Oregon, and that by order family at Salem of the Judge of eaid Court, Saturday, ment; the further sum of <500.09 Mr- and Mrs. Orville Burress and the 14th day of January, 1933, at the attorney fees, and <21.70 costs and daughter visited in Portland last hour of ten o’clock a. m , has been disbursements, and which said exe^ week with relatives- fixed as the time, and the County ! cution commands me to make sale Mr- and Mrs. Afton McIntyre and Courthouse, in the City of Moro, of all and singular the following des daughter spent the holidays at Van Oregon, as the place, "for the hearing cribed real property situated in Sher couver with relatives of said final report and account, and man County, State of Oregon, to-wit.
