Feller Has Kick Coming As Senate Debates Statehood and Isthmian Salaries
In Washington on December 16 the Senate halted further discussion of the omnibus statehood bill until January 5. Senator Dillingham opposed the measure while Mr. Teller sought to reply. Mr. Morgan criticized Isthmian Canal Commission salaries of $5000 yearly and questioned the commission’s expenditures, noting $260 million spent with little to show. The militia bill faced constitutional objections, and an amendment to section 24 about drills was adopted. A resolution referred Sheldon’s Alaska reindeer report to the Interior.
