WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1925 ~ 'LOGROLLING AGE OLD GAME Early Congress Encountered Sectional Problems "Log-rolling," sectional and party divisions in House and. Senate, or ex- actly the same parliamentary and ob- structive tactics as are now employed in the American Congress were resort- ed to when 'our republic was in its infancy. according to Dean James A. James, head of the Graduate School of Northwestern university, who broad- cast this week from the Chicago Daily News radio station, W.M.A.Q., on "Po- litical and Social Conditions at the Time of the Inauguration of the Amer- ican Government." Dr. James mentioned serious interest in the pow congress question of wavs means of raising revenue, of salaries to be paid <overnment officials, and, oddly enough, the use of the lottery as a means of raising money for carry- ing on local government. Alexander Hamilton's leadership as secretary of the treasury and that of Thomas Jet- ferson, as secretary of state and their political differences were submitted by the speaker as suggestive of quar- rels today between the executive and legislative branches at Washington, while the congressional trouble respect- ing salaries is about to have an up-to- the-minute counterpart in the discus- sion bound to come over the proposal, just made at Washington, to increase the salaries of senators and cabinet members. Hamilton Great Statesman However, Hamilton was a great statesman, according to the speaker, and had more than one string to his bow. When he submitted his first re- port on public credit January 14, 1790, he showed that the American public debt was divided into $13,000,000 owed to foreign creditors, chiefly France, Holland and Spain; the domestic debt aggregating $42,400,000 and the state debts, chiefly incurred in the common cause of the Revolutionary war, total- ling $25,600,000, Dean James stated. "Hamilton's report proposed full pay- ment of the foreign debt on the score of good faith and expediency," said Dr. James. "This was agreed to by all. The domestic debt was to be funded. A spirited debate took place in Con- gress over this proposal. The measure was carried in the House but lost in JAhs. ate. The Eastern members threatened to defeat the whole bill. Near Revolution "Fortunately the far-seeing secretary had in mind a plan to save all. At this time, the question of a permanent location for the Federal capitol was being hotly discussed. The Delaware, Susquehanna, and Potomac rivers were favored. It became a sectional question. New England accused Pennsylvania of traitorous designs on the question of Assumption in order to get the temporary if not the per- manent capitol at Philadelphia. They took their revenge on Pennsylvania by having Baltimore substituted. Legisla- tion was at a standstill. Congress grew perverse over public business and threats of disunion were uttered. Both Houses met and adjourned with- out dispatching any business. The subjects named were discussed at a points of n-tional as and | dinner party given by Jefferson to Hamilton and some friends. It was agreed, as Jefferson was not opposed to the assumption of State debts, that two Virginia members in Congress should change their votes on Assump- tion, while Hamilton and Robert Mor- ris were to secure two votes for the Potomac site. Both bills were pre- sented to Congress and soon passed." Dean James then gave in outline the other points connected with Hamil- ton's financial policy, and discussed the reasons for the downfall of the Fed- eralist party and the political revolu- tion which brought Thomas Jefferson 'nto the Presidency.
