+ a CHANGE PROPOSED.

Under our present law the regular
session Of congress does not begin until
thirteen months after the election of
its members. At the time this law was
formed there was some excuse for this
delay, owing to the difficulty with
which the results of elections were re-
ported. There were then no telegraph
lines to carry the news and indeed it
would have been difficult for the newly
elected members to present themselves
at the capitol at an earlier date on ac-
count of the lack of transportation
facilities. A bill has been introduced
in this congress which looks to
change of this law, fixing the date of
the opening Of the regular session Of
congress on the first Monday following
the fourth day of March of the year
next succeeding the election of repre-
sentatives and allowing the second ses-
sion to begin on the first Monday fol-
lowing the first day Of January Of the
succeeding year.
The proposed change is all right.
The lower house of congress is sub
jected to frequent changes by election
because it's members were intended to
represent the exact principles of the
majority of the people. It is appropri-
ate, therefore, that the desires Of the
people should receive the earliest at
tention of the government and this can
be most readily done by a. session of
congress. January would be a most
acceptable month for the opening, but
a constitutional provision fixes the
commencement of the term of repre-
i sentative on March 4, and hence pre-
A vents the earlier date except in ssoff''
4 years. The earlier convention also
gives the administration an opportun-
4 ity to secure legislation which it con-
siders essential to the prosperity of the
country withouta tedious delay. The
effects of that Legislation, whether
] good or bad, will be plainly discerna-
& BILE before the end of the administers
ton, thus giving the people ample
opportunity to endorse or reject the
policy at the polls.
I 1t is one of the rights Of the citizens
+ Of this country to have their ideas
! crystallized into laws, yet under the
+ present method we frequently have a
I congress, which has been repudiated
; enacting laws exactly opposite to the
: expression Of the people given before
the opening Of its session. Frequently
a congressman legislates for people
d after he has been turned down by tina
Il people and it is but natural thathi
o |acts should show a resentment Of th,
e treatment. Then, too, in the case of
Is contest, the occupant Of the seat draw
IS a salary for a year and a half or tW,
S years before the contest is decided an,
v when his opponent is seated he, too
Le draws a salary for the full term. Thi

change by all means.

THE DAY WILL COME.

said Congressman Barham of Califor-

enough legitimate duties to perform
