'be Increased beyond the present fifty pounds and the rate be reduced If pos-
♦ sible.

priatlon to $200,000 a year, without a dissenting vote.

Pension bill increasing pensions $75,000,000 a year and was Instrumental In

000 of emergency currency more than half and the amendment was adopted
unanimously by the Democratic Caucus and passed by the Senate without a
dissenting vote. Insisted on the amendment allowing notes given for farm
transactions to run six months, although other notes are limited to ninety
>days. Introduced a bill to allow National banks to lend money on farms and
this was Incorporated in the Currency bill and such loans can now be made
lor five years, whereas formerly they were prohibited by law.

Senate which was passed by the House and which was prepared after con
fsrence with him, appropriating $25,000,000 to aid the States In road building
Ho advocates the expenditure of the funds entirely by the States and favors
spending the money on top soli, sand clay and similar inexpensive roads, so
that the greatest possible number of people .will be benefited. Georgia’s
share In the appropriation would be over $700,000.

migration through the educational qualification and otherwise; voted to pas*
the bill ovsr President Taft’s veto and It was so passed but failed in the
