Financial currency commission debate in House session
Two members of the House Banking and Currency Committee, Chairman Fowler and Representative McMorran of Michigan, urged no broader financial legislation beyond a currency commission. Fowler praised his bill and cited experts, contrasting with criticism of the Aldrich bill. McMorran echoed the cautious stance, vowing not to vote for the Aldrich plan. A light moment arose as John Sharp Williams staged a vaudeville bit to push a tariff repeal petition. The Sundry Civil Appropriation bill proceedings continued under the five minute rule.
