The greatest defect OF our system,
the Portland oregonian says, is in the
long interval that exists between the
election Of the house OF representa-
tives and the time when they take
their seats In congress- We have the
absurdity OF former congress sitting
for months in session after new one
has been elected, and perhaps after the
policies OF the one that still sits
have been completely rejected by the
country. This anomaly makes It com.
pletely impossible to carry out the will
of the country on any important mat
ter without tedious and often injurious
