bills introduced in the senate and

congress, those familiar with legis

ble It Is to give consideration to
such a mass of proposed legislation

general Importance.
The committee on finance In the
senate and ways and means in the
house, consider all legislation affect
ing the Income of the government,
such as tariff or customs, income
taxes, sales, taxes and the internal
revenues generally.
Positions upon these committees

Smoot of Utah is chairman of this

The committees on public lands,
which consider all legislation for the
protection, utilization and disposi
tion of the government lands. Is
very important to Oregon and the
western states, where nearly all of
the remaining public domain Is lo
cated. Senator Stanfield is chair
man of this committee In the senate
and Congressman SInnott of Oregon
in the house.
The committee on civil service
handles all bills referring to the
classification, compensation, work
ing conditions and retirement of fed
eral employees. Senator Stanfield
was chairman of this committee dur

The committee on postoffices and
post roads considers all bills affect-1

Such a delegation in congress,
working in full accord and harmony
as they do, will soon make Oregon
an outstanding state In shaping and
directing federal legislation.
It would take new men, even
though blessed with exceptional abil

powerful committee assignments as
the Oregon members now hold, it
indeed, they could ever get places of
such vital Importance to Oregon and
