That committee has nothing to do. but itis a very old committee. and has always been given. since I have been here. at any rate. to a member of the minority. and to one of the members of the minority having the longest service. * The clerk at $1.800 attached to the Committee on Engrossed Bills was allowed when the Republicans were in the majority to the Senator on the Democratic side who. by length of service. received the chairmanship of that committee. I am going to take my own case. I was chairman of the Committee on Immigration when the control of the Senate changed. and let me say that the Committee on Immigration has a great deal of work to do year in and year out. I know the facts concerning that committee and it ought to have an adequate force of assistants. When the control of the Senate changed I was given the chairmanship of the Committee on Private Land Claims.
