JONES AND ANKENY
HOW RECORDS OF
THE TWO COMPARE
Yakima Congressman, From Work
Accomplished, Is Logically
the Next Senator.

In an interview, S. J. Cameron,
chairman Of the Wesley L. Jones club
OF North Yakima, corrects the false
representations that the Ankeny
press bureau is circulating with re-
speet to the records of Congressman
Jones and Senator Ankeny. Mr..
Cameron says:
An anonymous correspondent OF
the Springdale Reformer endeavors
to demonstrate that Congressman
Jones has not passed as many bills
as Senator Ankeny. 1t is evident
that he never consulted the Record
for he says that in the fifty-eighth
and f1fty-niHth terms OF congress

ator Ankeny had nothing further to
do with this legislation than to in
troduce the original bill, after it had
been prepared and submitted to him
by Congressman Jones.
Jones' Bills Passed.
Congressman Jones introduced
during the same period "A bills and
resolutions of general legislative
nature Thirty passed both houses
and became laws, and seven of them
were included in appropriation bills
and likewise became laws.
I'm addition, Jones took up from
the speakers table and passed three
senate bills, while he strongly sup

his colleagues that passed the house

amendments. For parliamentary
reasons it was thought best to have
the senate bill reported and passed
if possible, as it would then be given
a privileged character and could be
taken from the speakers table and
passed without unanimous consent.
A favorable report was ordered by
the senate committee on senate bill
No. 1929 to be amended as the house
had reported. 1t was reported from
the committee March ], and on the
same day Senator Piles passed it
through the senate, but by mistake
the amendments were not reported
and passed. Rather than withdraw
the bill, however, it was allowed to
go to the house without the amend
ments, and the report of the commit
tee was made to show no amend
ments.
ION the 5th of March Mr.. Jones
asked to take the senate bill from the
speakers table and pass ii in place
of the house bill. After considerable
debate the house amendments were
adopted and the bill was amended to
conform exactly to the Jones house
bill. 1t was then passed. and on mo-

Fifty-eighth congress Ankeny called
providing for the opening of the
south half of the Colville Indian
reservation. He knew nothing about
the matter when catechized by sem
ators as to whether the bill had been
passed upon by the department. This
admission he made upon the floor of
the senate. in spite of the fact that
the report of the senate committee
which embodied the report made
upon a similar bill by Jones in the
house showed that the house bill
had been reported upon by the de-
partment. Ankeny made no attempt
whatever to explain the bill or give
any reason for its existence, and the
consideration of it was postponed
for that congress.
The bill providing for the sale of
surplus and unallotted lands of the
south half of the Colville Indian res
ervation was the same in verbiage as
Jones' house bill, which was report
ed favorably by the house committee,
with amendments.
The bill introduced by Ankeny to
confirm entries on the Columbia In
dian reservation was not heard of
again. Jones passed this measure
through the house and Senator Full
ton of Oregon passed it through the
senate

No Credit Due Ankeny.

He introduced a joint resolution
providing for the transfer of certain
records to the war department. This
action was deemed essential in the
matter of securing favorable legisla-
tion for Indian war veterans. The
senate committee reported adversely
and it was Indefinitely postponed. Mr..
Jones passed similar resolution
through the house, and it became a
law without the assistance of An
keny.
He introduced bill granting the
right to construct a smelter on the
Colville Indian reservation. Con-
gresham Overstreet passed a similar
bill in the house, and it was passed
in the senate without Ankeny's as
sistance by Senator Stewart.
He introduced a bill providing
for the valuation of Northern Pa
cifc conveyances and let il die in the
senate committee. Jones passed ID
through the house, and Hansbrough
put ii through the senate.
Ankeny Could Not Explain.
During the third session of the

Forgot His Own State.

"Ankeny introduced a joint res D
luton extending the time for home
stead proof in the state of Washing
ton. Then he allowed senate resolu-
ton No. Sc, introduced Immediately
prior to his own and covering the
same subject with respect to north
western states other than Washing
ton. to pass the senate without sug-
costing an amendment. This reso-
luton was amended in the house so
as to include Washington in it's pro-
visions.
I'm addition to the foregoing SEN
ator Ankeny called up two favorable
reports on irrigation committee bills,
the one by Carter and the other by
Hepburn, which were passed with
out any further action on his part.
"Such is the sum total of Senator
Ankeny's law-making record during
the fifty-eighth and fifty-ninth terms
of congress, unless perchance he
means by bills passed those that
were passed into the pigeon-hole
cryts of the senate committees.

elusive of such important amend
ments to Indian bills as those pro-
viding for the opening of the south
half of the Colville Indian reserva-
ton, and for the payment of S1,500,-
000 to the Indians.
THE correspondent letter is
specious throughout and at the same
time so indefensibly inaccurate that
it would be waste of space to dis
cuss it in detail. although its publ
cation by the syndicate of Ankeny
newspapers requires specific reply.
at will suffice to review the work
of the two men during the fifty
eighth and fifty-ninth terms of con-
gress: the Congressional Record for
the sixtieth congress not having as
yet been issued in compiled and in
dexed form. Personal relief and
pension bills are omitted in consider
ing the labors of the two men as ma
tional lawmakers.
Ankeny's Record.
During the congressional terms
described Senator Ankeny introduced
IS bills and resolutions of general
legislative nature. So unconcerned
was the senate as to the fate of his
bills that 90 of them died in the COM
mittee archives of the senate; two
others were adversely reported on
and indefinitely postponed; another,
which he was allowed to introduce by
courtesy (the A.Y.-P. bilD, received
a favorable report and was passed by
Senator Piles; it was introduced
again in the sixtieth congress by Sen
ator Piles and passed both houses.
"Of the entire grist of bills intro
duced by Ankeny in the fifty-eighth
and fifty-ninth congresses, three We're
reported back favorably. One, fish
culture bill, passed on call of the cal
endar. The only bills of all he in

his own call and became laws were
two national bridge bills that would
necessarily have passed without re-
sistance after having been reported
favorably. One provided for the con-
struction of a bridge at Wenatchee
and the other for bridging the Pend
d'Oreille river.
"A bill introduced by both Ankeny
and Jones providing for the payment
of the Colville Indian claims, which
was a holdover bill, was inserted in
the Indian appropriation bill.
"Ankeny promoted one other
measure through the senate after
Jones had passed it through the
house, and this bill provided for the
sale of Fort Walla Walla military re-

What Ankeny Did Not Do.

What Ankeny did not do is de-
cidedly more interesting than what
he did. For example, he had two
bills reported adversely, one of these
providing for the division of the state
of Washington into two judicial dis
tricts. Ankeny's bill was a precise
copy of the one introduced by Jones
in the house requiring that the state
be divided on north and south line.
Fosters bill dividing the state on an
east and west line was reported ia
vorably by the senate judiciary COM
mittee. Ankeny, in other words, was
helpless to advance his own bill. This
bill, for which he failed to get ia
vorable report in the senate, Jones
passed through the house, followed
it's course in the senate, finally Sc
cured a favorable report on it, and
it was passed by Senator Spooner.
Where was Senator Ankeny during
this legislative battle to secure an
other judicial district for his state?
"Ankeny introduced copy Of
Jones house bill providing for the is
suance of patents for lands under
the Moses agreement 1t was re-
ported adversely by the senate COM
mittee. Jones passed the same bill
through the house, Senator Piles
took it up in the senate and it finally
passed there in spite of the commit
tees submergence of the same bill
under the indolent guidance of An
keny.

When Editors Fall Out

The disgraceful street fight which
has eliminated a campaign of violent
abuse between Editors Patterson and
Bonfils of Denver, is a blot upon the
fair name of journalism In Colorado.
1t is deplored, not only by the Denver,
but by all right-minded people in the
state. What the merits of the contro-
versy are the general reading public
doesn't know, and they care less. To
make a fair minded estimate OF this
smutty campaign of character assas-
sination would be impossible, even II
the utterances of both contending par
ties are read. For their talk rankles
with feudal hatred, and both, rather
clientele, have aroused general feel
ing of contempt.
The newspaper business has busi-
ness principles and professional. ethics.
No right-minded editor seeks to popu-
larize himself or his publication by
ribald SANDER against his opposition.
Such methods are more than unprofes-
sional. They SAVIOR of either schoolboy
jealousy or the dotage that comes with
more advanced years. They have
wrangled, have these two Denver men,
until they have brought themselves be-
fore a court of justice and under the
eye of public scorn. They are not bene-
fitted and the public, appreciating
clean, conservative newspapers, have
suffered.
The old tale of the Cats of Kilkenny,
which resulted in the utter annihilation
of these ferocious felines, is not with
out its moral.
