First, in my judgment, the needless expenditure of He said that the reason they wanted these new officers created money along this line; second, because, as I understand it and in the office of Secretary of State, and also the reason that they as I stated it to be, it is a direct infringement of clause 2, wanted to qualify Senator Knox to be Secretary of Stute Rule XXI, and in open opposition to all the precedents of the which I still say they never ha.ve 'done-was that PreSident House.

The Chair is Secretary Knox a fourth, a third, or a half., or as much as he familiar with the precedents cited by the gentleman from In wanted to, of the duties, minor duties you may call them, so diana. Undoubtedly the creation of a new office or the increase that it would give the President himself ample time to devote of a salary over that fixed by law would be subject to a point his intellectual energies to the greater questions of statesman of order under clause 2 of Rule XXI. But those precedents do ship. That was proposition No. 1, given why he wanted Knox not seem to the Chair to be applicable to this case at all. The as Secretary of State; and the reason that Secretary Knox act of August 5, 1909, created a new division in the State De wanted these six new officers created in the office of Secretary partment. It defined its functions in the most generous terms, was that he might unload a large part of his duties as Secre and there is no provision in the amendment now offered that tary of State onto the undersecretary and these new function does not have direct relation to the carrying out of those func aries, that he might have ample time to devote himself to his tions.

Then it rolled on his undertaking to qualify Senator Knox to be Secre provided for the appropriation by Congress thereafter for the tary of State. But when it came to proposition No. 2, we rolled payment of those salaries to those officers, not necessarily by them.
