Cannon Auto Fund Denied in House Vote on Vehicular Allowances
Washington June 11 Without debate the house insisted on its position against senate amendments in the executive and judicial bill funding automobiles for the vice president and the speaker. The chamber rejected $2,500 for the vice president and refused the speaker’s auto allowance by votes 1 to 63 and 48 to 71 respectively. Speaker Cannon left the chair during discussion as Olmstead presided. The report was sent back to conferees to press Senate withdrawal of the amendments. The naval appropriation bill saw approval of conferee recommendations including one battleship built in a navy yard and a $1,000,000 collier for the Pacific coast. Continued disagreement was ordered on further Senate amendments authorizing submarine torpedo boats and destroyers with specific costs. Representative Hughes urged placing battleship construction in navy yards, challenging claims of cracks in Bethlehem Steel guns. Discontent grew over the Senate’s sundry civil bill amendment funding travel for President Taft, signaling another fight over appropriations.
