Speech #540042858

I know one instance that illustrates the injustice of the pending bill in this respect. I happen to be a member of two committees which have not a great deal to do. One is the Committee on Immigration and the other the Committee to Establish the University of the United States. By the bill as reported the clerk of one of those committees is given a salary of $2.100. while the clerk of the other. the Committee to Establish the University of the United States. is left at the old figure. I know what the work of these two committees has been. and I know that the committee of which the Senator from North Dakota is chairman. the Committee to Establish. the University of the United States. has had more work and more hearings. and as a committee has done more work. than the committee which is favored by the bill.
