ALL THAT THE ABLE CONGRESS-
MAN HAS TO DO is TO
lust DROP THEM IN A BASKET
Ten Thousand Have Been Put in the
House Basket So Far This ses-
sion. Career of Bill Tn
I'll II Sees It's Finish.

zach McGehee in Savannah News
washington, D. c., January O.
without any intention of detractlng
from, the natural greatness of any
statesman who comes to Washington
70 represent his constituents, that
ie those who stand for him or
vouch for him at home and watch
with nride his upward career to fame
and distinction and that sort OF thlng'
if is vet thing much to be desired
that the people at home" have some
sort of an idea of what really taxes
Mace at the national capitol 1t IS
not with any intention to disparage
the efforts of any worthy members
Of congress who do the best they can
that undertake this exceedingly
hard and thankless task, 1t is dill
cult to understand how anybody
could do better than those here VINO
do little or nothing 1t is OF the
circumstances that | shall write ana
not of the men whom fortune mas
thrown into those circumstances.
How 1t Is Supposed to BE Done
MANY of the folks at home have
a mental photograph Of their repre-
sentative in Washington as he arises
with dignity and majesty amidst
crowded hall. stands for a moment
amidst the expectant silence ana
looks out over the eager congress
This photograph then changes-tor
if is a moving picture, you know
and the statesman raises alott the
impressive piece of parchment when
he holds in his right hand, and IN
mighty voice which echoes round the
halls and throws a spell over the %
members and those in the galleries
'Mr. Speaker" he eXclaims. Il nave
the honor, sir, in the name OF my
constituents, one hundred and TWEEN
tv-three thousand free born indie
pendent American people, to intro
duce a bill for the destruction OF
trusts.
Every eye is turned toward the
congressman, who pauses, pulls down
his vest, takes a drink of water, ana
then proceeds to read the text OF
his bill for the destruction OF the
trusts. Then he briefly states the
great benefits which would accrue
from the passage of his bill, while
the speaker sends a clerk down the
aisle to get the parchment, after
which the house enters into spirit
ed discussion of the bill, and vote
is taken.
How 1t Is Really Done.
That's the way it is in the pictures.
What really happens as rule is that
the member takes an old BILL one of
the ones printed at previous ses-
sion, scratches out the name of
member who introduced it, then
writes his own name on it instead,
changes the date, and alone and un-
noticed goes up to the big basket on
a table near the door and puts in
his bill amidst some several hundred

of the body and makes you ache all
over 1t especially affects the in

to elect Democrat to the position of United States
Senator.
Under the teachings of long period of party
featy, this plan appears at first glance to be too
unreasonable for consideration. But it is the most
reasonable proposition that was ever agreed to by
voting constituency.
The Legislature submerges its individuality and
carries out the will of the people whom it serves.
1t becomes purely the agent of the people, and is
not for sale Scholarships could not be bought in
a Legislature committed to the first statement, and
legislative candidate who had subscribed to the
second statement instead of the first would hardly
expect to be elected.
The Oregon primary election law is democratic
throughout. 1t admits of the largest exercise of
government by the people, without intruding upon
political beliefs. 1t gives every party chance
cordng to its numbers and every citizen an oppor-
tunty to participate in the government to which
he submits his allegiance.
1t is enactment worth the serious consideration
Of the people Of Idaho, who due to join the pro-
cession Of the progressive States They will con-
clude by the time the caucuses and conventions of
1908 that they need a comprehensive pr-
mary election law more than they need anything
else
