STOUGHTON, MASS. \) V .\ ?. PREFACE Again is verified the statement that every Legislature has its own peculiar feature. That of 1916 was an extra session, Sept. 12, 13, 14, called to provide some method of taking the votes of the Massachusetts soldiers on the Mexican border, of securing a constitutional adjustment of the rep- resentative districts in Suffolk county, and of providing suitable compen- sation to families of soldiers in United States service as members of the National Guard. A bill to prevent spread of infantile paralysis was passed also. Extra pay of $50 each was deemed just and reasonable, with mileage of 20 cents one way. This was the first extra session, called for special action, since that of 1872, called to provide for exigencies resulting from the great Boston fire in November, which lasted two weeks, and at which other matters were also considered. Aside from this feature, was the fact that more business was disposed of in less time than ever before. One threatened investigation was warded off; and another resulted in an ex- pulsion. There was less of railroad and street railway legislation than usual, and a reduction of the state tax of over a million dollars was the cause of great rejoiciu'g and self praise, although it was brought about chiefly by the yielding up of larger sums than usual from the estates of wealthy citizens who died in the previous year, yielding unexpected amounts of inheritance taxes. The whole state government was Republican and "team work" brought good results. The "high cost of living" has compelled ine omission of certain data usually included in this "Souvenir." A. M.

    RG 21 E6 Legal Affairs of Black Washingtonians Unfortunately, lots of the Circuit Court’s paperwork has disappeared. The docket book for the December term, 1816, for instance lists a Criminal Trial 2, “U.S. v. Caleb Simpson...for keeping a disorderly house, & harbouring slaves on the sabbath,” but there are no surviving documents that relate to the case. There are entire terms of the court for which no petitions for freedom survive. What follows is a list of cases for which there is at least some documentation extant. Box 1 contains miscellaneous early documents, including an arrest warrant for “Negro Ben,” who had run away from Sabrett Scott, and a writ of error for Ben’s wrongful imprisonment. For the following items, consult the box list. June term 1807 Criminal Trials 17 U.S. v.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • The Vice President's Room
    THE VICE PRESIDENT’S ROOM THE VICE PRESIDENT’S ROOM Historical Highlights The United States Constitution designates the vice president of the United States to serve as president of the Senate and to cast the tie-breaking vote in the case of a deadlock. To carry out these duties, the vice president has long had an office in the Capitol Building, just outside the Senate chamber. Earliest known photographic view of the room, c. 1870 Due to lack of space in the Capitol’s old Senate wing, early vice presidents often shared their room with the president. Following the 1850s extension of the building, the Senate formally set aside a room for the vice president’s exclusive use. John Breckinridge of Kentucky was the first to occupy the new Vice President’s Room (S–214), after he gavelled the Senate into session in its new chamber in 1859. Over the years, S–214 has provided a convenient place for the vice president to conduct business while at the Capitol. Until the Russell Senate Office Building opened in 1909, the room was the only space in the city assigned to the vice presi- dent, and it served as the sole working office for such men as Hannibal Hamlin, Chester Alan Arthur, and Theodore Roosevelt. Death of Henry Wilson, 1875 Several notable and poignant events have occurred in the Vice President’s Room over the years. In 1875 Henry Wilson, Ulysses S. Grant’s vice president, died in the room after suffering a stroke. Six years later, following President James Garfield’s assassination, Vice President Chester Arthur took the oath of office here as president.

  • Former Women Members “I’M No Lady, I’M a Member of Congress”
    ★ PART ONE ★ Former Women Members “I’m No Lady, I’m a Member of Congress” women pioneers on capitol hill, 1917–1934 Great triumphs and historic firsts highlight women’s initial foray into national political office. Four years after Jeannette Rankin was elected to the House of Representatives in 1916, women won the right to vote nationally, with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. Rebecca Felton of Georgia became the first woman to serve in the U.S. Senate in 1922. That same year, Alice Robertson of Oklahoma became the first woman to preside over the House of Representatives. In 1923, Representative Mae Ella Nolan of California became the first woman to chair a congressional committee. Two other women followed her lead, including Mary Norton of New Jersey, the first woman elected from the East Coast, who would chair four House committees during her quarter-century career. In 1932, Hattie Caraway became the first woman elected to the Senate. Several other women attained prominent committee positions, including Representative Florence Prag Kahn of California, the first woman to serve on the powerful Appropriations Committee. Nevertheless, women were still a distinct minority of the 435 House Members; at their peak during this period, nine served in the 71st Congress (1929–1931). They lacked the power to focus congressional attention on the issues that were important to them. Jeannette Rankin of Montana, a suffragist and peace activist, was the first woman to serve in Congress. painting by sharon sprung, 2004, collection of the u.s. house of representatives Without seniority, and facing institutional prejudices, the early Congress- women viewed leadership positions as an elusive quest.
