OPENS THE EYES
OF THE PUBLIC
Congressman Murdoch OF
Kansas Makes Somewhat
Sensational Speech.

Washington. Jan 26.-"Under the con-
troll of the speaker of the house and the
enormous power with which he is armed,
can the individual member properly dis
charge his duties TO the nation7''
This query was DrOpounded today by
Representative Victor Murdoch of Kan
sss in a speech in the house.
Mr.. Murdoch made four concrete prcpo-
sitiOns. In one he cited q case in which.
he said a secret service agent under a
commission had been paid
over SOS a day, which. he said, was an
outrageous sum. and the second, in which
for tweaty-thrse years the president of
the Michigan Central railroad had been
paid s. 900 a year a mail messenger
to make up pay for transportation OF
mails on railroads, which, Mr.. Murdoch
said could not be done under t1eSaws.
As a third instance, he charged that
an excess of payment of $4,000 year
had been made to the Esds bridge at ST.
Louis for mail charges
The fourta was the payment by the
house OF representatives itself of 500 a
year for a trivial clerical duty.
And now" he said, Il challenge any
member of this body who is not a chair
man of an appropriation committee tc
secure a correction through congressional
actions in these four items I have cited
over the opposition OF the speaker. OF
without his consent or that of any OF
the chairmen-"

The strongest expression that the com

that as between prohibition and no reg

certainly vote for prohibition
There were speeches by representative
OF the committee and by some of the
other members of the Utah delegation
Senator Smith was assaied on all sides

however, and easily had the best of the

INTO THE OPEN
Senator From Utah County
Faces a Determined
Delegation.
DECLARES HIMSELF
ON LIQUOR QUESTION
SAYS MAJORITY OF SURsTAN-
TIAL BUSINESS MEN ARE oP-
POSED TO PROHIBITION.

Thirty representative citizens of Utah
county who were sent as a delegation
to Salt Lake to convey to the Utah eoun-
~ delegation in the legislature a petit
ton signed by S,252 voters of Utah county.
demanding that the members of the lests-
lature who represented them should vote
for absolute statewide prohibition, were
given a decided surprise last night by
senator John Y Smith Of Lehi- who de-
clined TO pledge himself to vote for pro-
hibitiOn and by his arguments against
prohibition left the impression that de-
spite the action of his constituents IN
demanding his vote favoriDg the prohi-
bition measure. he would probably vote
against prohibition.
In an earnest fifteen-minute talk Sena-
tor Smith told the committee that all OF
those who were against prohibition were
not necessarily moral outcasts. lie said
there were good arguments and strong
arguments for prohibition. He told them
frankly that the majority of the sub
stantial business men of the state were
against prohibition and told them why
To his mind regulation, correction OF
the liquor traffic would accomplish more
good and better results than a drastic
prohibition measure.

visibly taken back by the surprising
speech of the senator. They had appar-

nous petitions and hearing the express
sions of their spokesman, Senator Smith
would Immediately follow the wishes of
his constituents. without saying 50 in
as many words, Senator Smith told the
committee that if he voted for prohibit
ton it would not be because of the fran
tic and hasty efforts OF the people Of
Utah county, but because he thought 1t
best for the entire state. He told them
plainly that the other side was entitled
to consideration and that he would give

Opinion of the Attorney.

Mr. Jerome expresses his conviction that
so serious a charge should not pass I'M
challenged, and that adequate iustifics-
ton should be shown Or those making it
properly punished.
From this point of view the letter
continues, the federal authorities, it
seems to me. have a distinct interest and
what YOU tell me. il would seem that the
Jurisdiction of the federal courts is ade-
quate. There is another point of view.
however While the whole people of the
United States have been injured by the
publication of much false and libeloUs
matter the people of this state have re-
ceived a distinct and separate injury in
that one of its citizens, Douglas Robin
son, has had false matter published about
him in the community in which he lives
aud is respected. the direct purpose and
tendency of which is TO brand him dis
honorable citizen and dishonest man, and
ono who wss willing to trade upon the
honor OF his brother-in-law, the president
OF the United States.
