MIR. HITCHCOCK'S DEMAND
FOR LIGHT.

REPRESENTATIVE Hitchcock ot Ne
braska. in his speech demanding an
investigation by Congress Of the con-
duct. in recent years, of the public do
main in Alaska, presented a case which
is hard to answer.
In the matter of the sugar frauds
the argument against Congressional
investigation-an the only one heard
is that the Government is prosecut-
ing the offenders, and an investigation
by Congress might defeat the ends OF
Justice. IN. the case of Alaska there
isgsimply no argument against inves-
tldation 1t is charged that the hooters
ara getting away with the best things
in the Alaska tTeasJTehOuse; and the
only real argument that can be pre-
scented against the investigation Is that
It might interfere with the plans of
the hooters. There is no Government
proceeding pending that could possibly
be interfered with by turning on the
FULLEST light. The Government has
cFefythiug to gain and nothing to lose
hF passing the Hitchcock resolution
dnas going to the bottom of matters.
saThe Hitchcock charges include some
new matters, which have not been IN
the press heretofore. One of these re-
lates to the use of the SI,OOO,OOO appro-
uriated by the last Congress for the
prosecution of land grafters. Mr..
Hitchcock charges that out of this
fund salaries of people in the land Of
flee have been raised; that great list
of clerks have been put on the roll in
Washington; and that in various ways
the money has been used for purposes
whose relation to the grabbing of
grafters is not exactly obvious.
1t is. easy enough to understand that
a good many clerks might be needed
! to keep tabs on an enthusiastic anti
graft campaign. and that these clerks
would need facilities with which to
work. At the same time it would be
interesting to know what proportion
of the crusade's expenses are being
incurred at headquarters in Washing
ton. and what in the field where the
lands and the grafters are.
The anxiety to avoid an investiga-
ton of the Alaska situation is one of
the least prepossUssing aspects of the
situation. No good reason has been
presented in opposition to investiga-
ton, and everything that has been
placed before the public indicates the
need of it.
Why not have it. and let the
authorities get the benefit of a con-
elusive vindication, if there Is nothing
, they have 10 fear2

FOR A NOVEMBER SESSION OF
CONGRESS.

Representative Stafford of Wisconsin
has introduced a bin to provide that
the annual session of Congress shall
convene the second Monday in No,cm-
Der. instead Of the first Monday in
DECEMBER.
Elis is about all the reform, in this
regard, that can be had without a
CORstitutional amendment. There
should be an amendment just the same
70 change the whole scheme of Con-
gressional sittiugs, so that there shall
never be a session of "a Congress after
Its successor has becn chosen. The new
Congress should not bc compelled to
wait more than half its term Of office
betpre meeting 1t is an anomaly in
parliamentary practice, and altogether
baas but it cannot be changed without
unpnding the Constitution
Meanwhile the Stafford bill should
Dass 1t would add practically two
months TO the annual available period
forgiegislation. As matters stand now,
nothing is ever done before the holiday
recess that is worth the trouble OF
the expense of getting the body to-
gether. II Congress met in Novem-
Der. it would have six or seven weeks
10 work before the Christmas holiday,
end would make effective use OF the
time. With the business of the Gov
crnment growing heavier every year
III the dread Of spending the hot

selieme needs change Mr.. Stafford

The time viii come when Congress

Il eight months of every year Il
Sili have to do so in order to get its
wotk done. But that is a practical i'm
possibility as the Constitution now
stands The business of legislation
ought TO be crowded into the period
when the weather is most satisfactory
.f0T-hard work. If Congress could meet
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1909-12-17

at the beginning of October IL would
have eight months of the best weather
before it, and could give such con-
sideration 10 its duties as is now
utterly impossible. The real business
of the session begins after New Year,
and at the long session there is about
five months of good weather available
before statesmen begin to Perspire and
disappear; at the short session there
is but two months for the real bust
ness.
Reform is certainly needed, and the
Stafford proposal seems to present the
largest measure of it that is possible
at this time.

WONDERS NEVER CEASE IN
THE AERIAL WORLD.

That w. T. Tillinghast, of Worccs-
ter has made q flight in an acroplane
from Worcester 10 New York and
home again is not impossible, though
the news Of it will be taken with a
grain Of salt wherever the subject Of
hving finds an interested and well-in-
formed public Since Bloriot made his
historic flight across the English Chan
mel. the world has been prepared for
an sorts of sensational announce
mcnts; but. nevertheless. flights made
in secret, though they may Doe won

to listing records.
The Wrights claimed a flight of
twcnty-four miles four years ago, but
the fact that the flight was made pri-
vatcly worked against all acknowledge

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK
LEAGUE WANTS ACTION.

The Postal Savings Bank League of
the United States, which has been or
gained, with headquarters at Chicago,
and which has among its officers some
of the influential members of Congress
and many public men of prominence, is
sending out letters which indicate that
the cause of postal savings banks is
not going TO be allowed to pass TO
Oblivion quietly this session of Con-
gTess, despite the wishes of the leaders.
A great deal of support Is being
mustered for such legislation. The
several hundred thousand members Of
the Farmers Educational and Cooper
ative Union of America have declared
in favor of the enactment by this
Congress of a postal savings bank bill
in accordance with the Republican
platform pledge. This organization viii
have legislative committee in Wash
ington to urge Congress to pass a
postal savings bill.
Not only is there strong support for
the legislation among the farmers, but
the American Federation of Labor has
pledged its support. The Republican
platform calls for the legislation, and
President Taft in his message has
spoken out for its early enactment
without waiting for the monetary
commission report.
Regardless of the determination of
the opponents of postal savings banks
in Congress not to let a bill come out
of the House Postoffces Committee,
the league is exerting itself to bring
about a rollcall on the question, and
thus compel members to show their
colors. 1t Is urging constituents of
hostile and neutral members to bring
pressure upon them.
The position of the league is that
the opposition i'm the American Bank
ers' Association Is shortsighted and of
more than doubtful patriotism. 1t
holds that postal savings banks viii
not disturb the business of existing
banks except to increase their stability
by providing banking facilities for the
more excitable small depositors who
endanger banks in crisis. 1t csti-
mates that $500. 100000. now boarded
or sent abroad, would be restored to
circulation in this country. For TWEEN
/ ty-fve years, the league points out.
postal savings banks have been smoth-
cred in this country, and it is time for
action.
But ssrong as is the sentiment in
this country for postal savings banks,
what is it that will happen? Unless all
signs fail the Postoffices Committee
of the House viii bottle up all bills
on this subject and none viii be re-
I ported, adversely or otherwise, so as
TO give the House a fair chance for a
vote. The Speaker has made up the
Postoffices Committee against any
| such legislation, and the House will
probably be barred from any straight
out opportunity TO express its opinion
/ Could there bc any clearer illustration
of the fact that the House rules need
ovcrhauling and the iuordinate power
of the Speaker taken from h-m2
What the Postal Savings Bank
League ought 20 do if it wants legis-
lation is TO undertake some prelimi-
nary missionary work in the direction
of reforming the rules of the House,
so that the unjust and absurd situa-
tion presented i'm the case. of the
proposed postal savings bank lcgisla-
1 tion would not be possible.
