Speaker Cannon Drives House to Trade Building Bill
Washington May 5 Special No presiding officer has party discipline like Speaker Cannon. The public buildings and grounds committee held back the omnibus bill to trade favorably with both parties and speed passage of a finance measure before adjournment. The motive was to align with the Aldrich bill while blocking the Powler plan until late session. A push to pressure railroads and land grants in the west drew cross party support, with Tillman’s Oregon and California land grant probe cited as catalyst. Other notes mention John Burnett of Alabama as the shortest congressman, Knox as the shortest in the Senate, and a Taft nomination rumor tied to Justice Harlan retiring to allow Taft to join the Supreme Court. A bill to create a mining bureau in interior with a $6,000 salary headlined, signaling long-standing aims for a dedicated mining department.
