the district are on the calendar, and the
probabilities are that the day will be
consumed with further consideration of

ground that the committees did no
work, and that the house had long
enough tolerated the abuse of providing

the rightful perquisiteS of their posi-

they term the ''reformers." They in-
tend to offer bill or resolution to abol-

allowance of members. Under the
present law the members from the ex.

lively small sum. but to those who are
Obliged to travel from 1000 to 5000

six or seven times as much as the actual
cost of travel. 1t was fixed in the old
days. when railroad fares in the West
ranged from 10 to 80 cents amIe. and
when in some cases members were
Obliged to travel long distances by
