NEWCEnSUSTO
CHANGE HOUSE
Many States Will Gain Mem
bsrs In Congress.
BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

cOAulHB sesslOn Oh congress Will lnhhe
a new apportionment under the cen
sus taken this year. Director Durand
will be able to furnish the total pop
ulation of nearly oil the states and a
very close approximate upon the re-
mainder. The figures for all the states
could be furnished If it were not for
the frauds In a number of western
cities which have compelled a recount
Interest In the new apportionment
will be intensified on account of the
conviction that the present house OF
representatives Is large enough, The
states which have made great gains
will get additional members, and states
which have stood still or only gained
slightly will lose members.
Ter and twenty years ago the mem
bership of the house was increased
SO as TO prevent the loss of members
ny state. TO prevent a loss In
kns states under the new census
ID require d very large increase.
High Cost of Living Figured.
IA AZ hlSh AOeb VI living RioyN&
Amportant part In every congress
sional district seems apparent from the
stories told by returning members.
1t appears that the Republicans final.
~ became aware of the fact that high
prices for food and other ~necessarles
of life were a vital issue In the cam
paign, and they tried In every possible
way TO avert the impending disaster
by showing that neither their party
nor the tariff was responsible. Their
success, however, Is shown In the re-
turns. Nearly every Republican who
was defeated lays the blame upon the
high cost of living.
National Incorporation.
One of the hopes of President Taft
Is to have a national incorporation act
passed at the short session. He must
know that 1t will be well nigh impos-
siDie to get such a law from a Demo
cratic congress, for the Democrats
think that national incorporation in
t~erferes with the rights of states to
an extent that Is contrary to sound
Democratic doctrine.
Since the election there has been
considerable talk about passing a law
at the short session which will compel
all companies doing al interstate bust
ness to incorporate under national
charters. which will give the govern
ment greater supervision over them.
But 1t is found that the Democrats are
! not alnna In ha tEiu0 Mt that D.o.no,
Many Republicans have expressed
doubt whether 1t would not be going
rather far i'll the way Of Matchmaking
all business and wiping out state lines.
When Dwight Gets In Action.
+ John w. Dwight, the Republican
whip" whose principal duty is to see
that there Is a quorum of Republicans
toresent when the party wants to put
anything over, has promised President
TAFT that he VIII keep the Republicans
here to pass legislation which the pres-
adent wants. 1t ought not to be diff.
cult to, keep the members here for
three months, but there are men in
congress who hate to give I'D even
that much time to the government,
John Dwight has shown that he can
get results when he means business
He has a way Of making 1t very un-
comfortable for members Of his party
who persistentIy refuse to attend SEES.
OF the house when their votes
are needed. There is an expectation
an attempt will be made 10 ar
cooperation with insurgent Re-
pueiicans, IL those men who wara
not very welcome at the White Ho,se
during the last session will aud he
latchstring on the outside when tbev
call.
The Yak Furnishes Hair.
Not all the abundance of false hair
tfat Is piled upon the heads of women |
comes from human heads. Formerly
writes Consul d. p. DeYoung Of Am.
sterdam, the false hair came from the
heads OF peasant girls Of Europe and
Asia But the supply did not equal the
demand, and the yak of Tibet has been
stripped OF the long hair of its neck
and legs to make silken tresses for

In the rough, so to speak, and by boil
ing and chemicals fits 1t for the mar

says the consul, lis us promptly and
accurately filed as an order for dry
goods or any other articles In daily

Likes thu Oregon Plan.
Senator Nixon of Nevada likes the
Oregon plan Of electing senators. CAN
aldates for the legislature sign n
statement pledging themselves to vote
for the mar receiving the largest pop
ular vote. BY that method Senator
Chamberlain, a Democrat, was elected
by a Republican legislature in Oregon.
Senator Nixon win be elected from
Nevada by the same system. although
the legislature may have u small!
Democratic majority. Nixon says the
new law works satisfactorily.
