The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1903-12-14

Hon. Francis w. Cushman is always
sure of hearty welcome in Washing
ton. He has become one of the wide
~ popular men in congress, and is
making new friends every day. Dur
ing the early days of the special ses-
sion there was something lacking on
the republican side of the house, and
it was not long before that some
thing" was discovered to be the WASH
ingtOn congressman. When Mr.. Cush-
man arrived, the day after Thanks
giving, he was given such a welcome
as has never before been rendered him
by his colleagues in congress.
The fact that Mr.. Cushman failed
to arrive before the house acted on
the Cuban reciprocity bill did no
not a close one. and his vote would
have made no difference in the re-
suit. AS the passage of that bill was
the sole work of the special session,
Mr.. Cushman and the state lost Moth
ing through his late arrival. Even IN
the matter of new bills there has been
no harm, for all bills introduced dur
ing the month of November were plac-
ed on file.
The fact that the man from Taco
ma secured a seat in the rear of the
republican side Of the house, instead
of being compelled to go over among
the democrats, as at first threatened,
was due to the kindly services of his
colleague Mr.. Jones, who arranged
for a desk among the last called, and
he would have had the choice of only
a very few seats that, up to that time,
remained unsolicited.

WASHINGTON GRIST.
ne Eevents Which Take Place at
National Capital.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-It is
Il probable that congress at the
resent session will pass any bill
Imding the state of Washington inc
h ! judicial districts. That such a
Zion is warranted by the immense
.rhut Of business is not denied but
a present delegation is not agreed as
i where the line of division shall be
iunu. and in face OF this diversity
i opinion il will hardly be possible
d bring about a compromise.
Representative Jones, as evidenced
# the hiIl he recently introduced, be-
-.r- The Cascade mountains should
.s.ae the two districts. Senator Fos-
ri. RS WelI rs his colleague, believe the
IT, Of division should run from east
. west. 50 as to create a north and
south distrc. There is no com
.. ground Of compromise. and with
7- delegation so divided, the commit
..- Of house and senate are not like
. To assume responsibility for this
...-'atiOn.

CITY OWNERSHIP.

Much useful information the subject of city own
ership of public utilities, and the best municipal policy
relating franchises for such utilities is being presented
before the convention in session in New York. The
convention called for the purpose of indorsng
city ownership condemning it, but for the purpose
of studying the subject "The main difficulty said John
G. Agar in opening the convention, "has been the abb
of the evidences of experience and this convention
has been called for the purpose of furnishing facts and
information and of organizing permanent bureau for
the collection and distribution of such municipal stas
tics relating the best method of supplying commercial
wants"
Several papers read and speeches delivered
and the subject of city ownership of public
ice corporations There dverging and conflicting
opinions expressed but the comparison of ideas and the
collection of facts will be of the great of in
telligent who are giving the subject careful
thought.
Clinton Rogers Woodruff, of Philadelphia, affirmed
that the for city ownership is due primarily
to the popular indignation felt at the corruption and
degradation incident to the policy of private ownership
This declaration finds local support in the experience of
St Paul with the Minneapolis street concern.
THE compensation of private must be linz
tied to fair return for the services rendered. and no
more" continued Mr. Woodruff That is to say, instead
of building up immense fortune for Mr.. Lowry, Of
Minneapolis, the people of ST. Paul. they owned their
lines, would have saved that much money for
themselves either in the way of reduced fare the
plication of the profits to city improvements.
Instead of enrchng Mr. Lowry, why shouldn't st.
Paul enrich herself?
The question is worth considering.

RIDICULOUS PROCEEDING.

The life of the present house of representatives of
the national congress will expire in week. but if the
Republicans force vote they will declare that
member who has served for the full of two years
is entitled to his seat, and who instituted
will be declared elected and given the full salary
The contest in question up from the Twelfth
Missouri district and by throwing entirely the votes
of fortyone precincts the Republican members of the
house elections committee found enough to elect
the Republican claimant. Of there is defense
of the action except that Republican majority can be
depended upon do what it without reference
obligations the country, unmndfu of the oath of
Office ignoring all considerations except those of polit
ica nature.
But the ridiculous feature of the performance eav-
ing dsreputable qualities is the fact that congress
has waited until practically the last day of its life take
up the and dispose of it. The Democratic incumbent
has been holding the Office performing the duties the
Of and drawing the salary Now his term expires,
congress will declare he elected entitled
perform the duties should have drawn the sal
airy. In addition it will the contestant who will be
declared entitled the the last minute the salary
for the full term thus paying double price for the service
of Missouri congressman.
That such action is totally unworthy body of the
pretenonS of the United States congress goes without
saying but goes Congress should dispose of all
in short order. committee might be constituted
take up all contests during the and be pre-
pared report when the first session of given
gress opens, or in few days thereafter.
Contests however, political in nature; rarely is
based on a reasonable presumption that the claimant
was fairly elected And where there is politics there is
funny business.
