Senator Smith seeks district control of deeds and wills offices
Georgia Senator Hoke Smith proposes a bill to place the recorder of deeds and register of wills under the District commissioners. The measure would require a bona fide District residence of three years prior to appointment and aims to prevent partisan rewards or outside influence in these offices. He argues the offices should be locally chosen residents, not federal or outside political reward.

House Democratic Floor Leader Underwood argues an income tax increase from 10,000 to 15,000,000 would fund expanded collection and total federal receipts for the current year surpass 73 million with a 30 million surplus.

The speech accompanies White House talks on New York politics and Roosevelt’s evolving role in 1916.
