, it works. The system can be worked
against the system itself, for as we
have seen, by its means we got our
bills through the House.
The weakness of this whole policy of
compromise is that while 1t may re-
suit in the enactment of certain laws
for tile common good. 1t Will not make
our government representative of the
common good. Even If he is success
full the President, by playing with the
machine, will have left the system
standing as much as ever for--what 1t
stands for now.
And what does the. Federal system
stand for? Just how strong is 1t? Is
it stronger than the U. S. Government?
Has 1t superseded the representative
democracy of the constitutions That's
what should like to know. Railroads
rule some States; | mean rule liter
ally; the government of such States as
Connecticut. New Hampshire, Penn
sylvani3. New Jersey, Ohio. and others
actually represents their railroads, other
corrupting businesses too: but the rail-
roads are the steadiest sources of corr
ruption, and therefore the dominant
power In the system. Is that so here?
The third part of the Presidents policy
should bring out the answer to this
question, and all the others, also. for
his proposition to regulate railroad rates
is challenge to the power of the rail-
roads.
But regulating rates is ono thing. and
passing ia railroad rate bill Is another.
The President can set u rate bill
through; they" can't beat him with
the whole country looking on and de-
manding. as they think, that "some-
thing be done.
A strong President with public opinion
behind him may compel the system to
pass Hepburn bill, but what's the use
of getting n Hepburn law and leaving
Hepburn in the House, The Hon. Pete"
Hepburn doesn't believe In govern
mental rate regulation. He Is q link
in the Speaker-Bq ring and as
Chairman of the COMMITTEE on Inter-
state and Foreign Commerce he has re-
ceived all the prayers or the Interstate
Commerce Commission for more power
since the failure of the old law became
eldent. And Mr.. Hepburn did nothing,
till once at u hearing, In his enthsul-
asm for the railroads, he so ill-treated
shpper-witness that his people out
In Iowa burned their representative
in effgy. This converted Mr. Hepburn.
His Committee reported rate bill last
session, and this session when tho pres
ent bill was drawn he insisted upon
appearing as It's parent. He isn't the
father, he Is only the godfather. and
while the name of 1t hurts the measure
by casting suspicion, II will help him
to fool his people into voting nsain for

The Real Power Behind ii

bine TO the scandal SCARED captains Of
industry in the Senate.
There is no doubt about the system
being here. The only question is as to
its power and the best way to measure
that is TO fight it as they are doing
III Jersey and Ohio and Wisconsin. But
the President has elected to get along
with it as far as he can; 1t Is the poll
teal organization of the system that
he is using to jam through his bills
against the system. He is succeed
ing too, apparently; the House conf
b!nc is doing things for us. But you
can see the marks of the system on
all the thirss it has done for us.
Philippine Tariff.
Take the Philippine tariff bill That
isn't exactly for us. Secretary Taft
got the President to recommend it az
measure of Justice to the Filipinos.
Philippine products shipped into the
United States and give the Islands a
chance by putting them on par with
oul. territories The tariff bill Is ours
only in that it represents our sense
of honor and fair dealing. But 1t is
against the interest of certain BUSH
nesses which produce things the Phip-
resents, not honor and fair dealing,
but business; not the people, not the men
and women, not folks as Represent.
tative Adam Bede puts it; the system
represents business interets. So
there was great opposition to the Phil
ippine Tariff bill. and in the Commit
tee, before 1t was reported out to the
House, two interests were taken caro-
+ of in the bill. A tariff was to be kept
on sugar and on tobacco till 1868.
These interests were so strongly rep
resented that there was no use trying
to put "our'' bill through ''our"
House without them. And even with
them, we couldn't quite make It. The
President and the Speaker had to al
low one more interest to be taken care

The Reign of Public Opinion, BY Lincoln Steffens
IheSys How'll Hopesu Fodhe ntandU

| the author of the famous Hepburn
rate bill.
And this Is characteristic of tho House.
That body seats many Hepburns. His
bill passed his House with only seven
votes against it. vet this man--indus-
trlous, able, and, ] hear honest-is a
type of our representative in Congress.
The Iiepburns do not represent us. They
do not represent the people, they rep
resent public opinion. and they repre-
sent public opinion only when we are
aroused to anger-just the time when
the placid Senate says representa-
two should have tho courage to stand
fast to save US from ourselves.
Now have not meant to imply that
the Hepburn bill is inadequate; / henr
that 1t is; but whether 1t will solve the
rate problem of not is another aues-
ton. Vhe question came here to ask
is. Does our Government represent
us??" And-let me repeat-by ..us'' I
mean all OF US, but especially those of
us who do not want to get anything
out OF our government but square
deal and fairly efficient service. And |
say that the votes of the House Iupon
the present bill do not answer the cues
ton before the House. II the system
which is In tho House had fought In
the House; II the members had voted
on the ratio bill according to their own
conditions we should have been able to
mark down those among them who rep
resent tho system. But they didn't vote
as they would; they voted as the Speaker
willed and the Speaker willed as the
President willed. So we shall have to
seek In some other way to understand
the makeup of the House.
But there Is another reason why the
system let our bills through thv House.
The system has a way, notEeably in
many States as we'll as In Washington,
Of letting its lower house pass '.imper-
feet bills, depending upon the Senate to
fix" them! VIII the Senate fix tho

And their cry that he is boss is an

paper promising to vote no" Yet a

What the Victory Cost.
But look at the victory and see what
1t cost. How was it Won? The under
standing here is that hint was dropped
as from the Speaker to the effect that
it our representatives were good on the
statehood and Philippine tariff bills he
might (there was no promise; the ''un-

mighty open pork barrel"
What Is pork barrel? There are sew
eral kinds of pork, but all barrels con-
tain this one ingredient in common: a.
big appropriation of public money. to BIO
expended widely over the country. Brib-
cry? Graft? No. A pork barrel isn't
necessarily either bride or a graft; it
i is only treated as graft, and it just
happens to operate like bribery The
pork barrel expected is public building
bill Postofilces and other Federal build
ings are needed in many places. The
Speaker thinks we can't afford the money
at present but your average represent
alive doesn't care about that. and neither
does he care whether his district actually
needs a Federal building And he says
You don't care either. He says (many of
them have talked this way to me) you
haven't any more sense OF our common
interests than he has; not so much. He
says that anything he can get out of all
of us for you, his particular constituents
will act upon you like bribe. So that
II he, by selling out his vote to the House
combine, can get a Federal building for
you In his district you Won't care how he
votes on statehood or the Philippine tar
i'll; you will re-elect him to misrepresent
himself and you in the hope that he will
get something moro out OF all OF us for
you. In other words, you want repre-
sentative who "gets things done"--for
you.
Is he right? If your Congressman
gets you q public building this year,
watch him pleen himself over It when
he returns home and then notice the
effect II has ON you. That's the way to
tell whether Il pork barrel operates like
