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.’*

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

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
