Roosevelt to push DC insurance crackdown in new message
The weekly review notes President Roosevelt will likely send a special message to Congress urging legislation to curb illicit insurance transactions, focusing on District of Columbia matters only. It also reports New York's Bennett proposing a bill to reduce southern representation due to black disfranchisement, cutting total representatives from 386 to 351 across eleven states. The Senate panel backs an emergency canal bill for 11 million dollars but omits bond provisions, and the chamber does not honor late Senator Mitchell as usual.
