Senate Debates Philippine Tariff and House Irrigation Plans
Washington reports from Jan 22 show the Senate treating the Philippine tariff bill as unfinished business with Lodge and Rawlins urging independence conditions and Bacon criticizing a war department order. In the House, debate on the urgent deficiency bill shifts to irrigation of western arid lands and a direct senatorial election bill advances in committee. A crime bill proposes death or life for train robbers, and rural carrier pay proposals are debated.
