PROGRESSIVES WANT PUBLICITY
FOR COMMITTEE MEETINGS

Washington, Jan. 1.-Two import
one intended to outfank the regulars
in their fight against the insurgent
rule as to discharging committees from
consideration of the bills and the other
to throw committee meetings open to
the public, have been introduced by
Representative Norris, of Nebraska,
who led the insurgent Republicans in
their great rules fight last March.
The resolution to meet the recent
ruling of Speaker Cannon that on mo-
ton to discharge a committee from
further consideration of bill the bill
must be read in it's entirety, provides
that in the consideration of such a mo-
ton in the house, the measure shall be
read by the title only.
Mr.. Norris believes this will meet
the attempt of the regular Republi-
cans to deprive the insurgents rule of
Its effectiveness, for under the ruling
the reading of a bill might occupy all
the remaining available time of a SEES
sion of congress.
The public committee meeting on
resolution, based upon the contention
tnat secrecy of committee transactions
is contrary to public policy, provides
that unless otherwise ordered by the
mouse, the business of all standing, Sc
lect and special committees shall be
made public, including the record of
all votes taken.

viding for reapportionment of the
country for representation in congress
have been presented to the house by
Chairman Crumpacker, of the house
committee on census.
One bill is based upon continuance
of the present membership of 391.
This will fix the basis of representa-
ton at one congressman for every 1884,
600 people in the United States.
\ The other bill fixes a representation
of one congressman for each 211,S77
inhabitants. making total member
ship Of 433.

graphaphone records of rare value
nave been received by First Assistant
Abbott, of the bureau of Indian affairs.
These records contain genuine repro

Bannock Indians of Idaho and were
made by Ralph w. Dixie, an Indian
ranchman of the Fort Hall reservation
In that state. Dixie went to one of
the dances and made the records unbe-
known to participants. Indians, as a
rule, are somewhat superstitious about
such matters and it would have been

WILLING TO TAKE ALL
CITIZENSHIP RESPONSIBILITY

Spokane, Jan. 9.-Prominent work
bers of exclusive clubs and scores of
working women in Spokane are writing
letters to Governor M. E. Hay, urging
him to deny the petitions of women
electors requesting to be relieved from
jury duty if called upon for service.
when 1 asked for the privilege OF
citizenship" said Mrs. May Arkwright
Hutton, president of the Washington
Equal Suffrage League, II was ready
and willing to accept all the require
ments. am willing to serve on jury
and will do so without protest, if called
to that or any other duty required by
the state"
Mrs. Hutton is the wife of Levi w.
Hutton, a millionaire mining operator,
and has extensive interests in Spokane
and the Couer d'Alene mining district
in Northern Idaho. She financed state
wide campaign for equal rights in 1910
and was factor in securing the ballot
for women at the last state election.
Mrs. A. P. Fassett, who has been
identified with the suffrage and other
woman's NOV ements in Spokane for
years, said:
II have written to Governor Hay,
asking him to refuse to take any action
on the petitions of women voters re-
questing to be released from jury
duty. l have also interested a large
number of club women to write similar
letters.
when l worked for equal suffrage
fully understood all the duties that
would devolve upon the women as vot-
ers. am afraid now that if the wo-
men start to balk at sitting on jury
they will lose their right of franchise"
That the women of Spokane are in
terested in the ballot is evidenced by
the large number registering for the
spring election in March, when five
commissioners will be chosen to re-
place the present city government,
headed by Mayor Nelson S. Pratt.

FIVE CONGRESSMAN
FOR WASHINGTON.
BASIS FOR REINFORCEMENT
TENTATIVELY AGREED ON

Washington, Jan. 7.-Congressiona
reapportionment under the new census
figures so as to increase the member
ship of the house to 433 was the plan
tentatively favored by the house com.
mittee on census at meeting yester.
day. This figure will protect each
state from diminished numerical repre-
sentation and is exclusive of Arizona
and New Mexico. The committee will
meet again on Tuesday.
The apportionment bill introduced
by Chairman ~Crumpacker fixes the
membership of the house at 433. The
bill was referred Immediately to the
census committee, where the entire
subject was taken up.
The apportionment under the pro.
posed arrangement will be:
Alabama, 10; Arkansas, q; Califor-
mia, IL; Colorado, A; Connecticut, 5;
Delaware, L; Florida. 4; Georgia.12;

nouncement that it intends to get at
least one If not two more judges. An
effort will also be made to raise the
pay of the superior court judges
while the salaries of all state ofi1cers
will perhaps be advanced.
AS usual. there is talk of holding
short session instead of keeping the
Legislature in Olympia for the full 60
days. That talk is like all other talk
of the kind; it will never be anything
but talk. There may be an attempt
made to move the capital, but those
who are seeking to take it from Olym-
pia will have to secure the aid OF
King and Pierce counties before an
effective fight can be made, and 1t is
generally believed that they will make
but little Roadway in that respect.
The direct primary law is also going
to come up for consideration and an
effort will be made to place the SUI
preme court nominations back within
it's provisions. Likewise, efforts will
be made to limit the injunctive pow
ers of the court and to keep inter
state corporations doing strictly
state business in the Washington
courts, and also to limit the power of
judges to punish for contempt COM
mitted outside of the court room.
Women now have the power to vote
and hold office in Washington, and it
is predicted that this will be the last
session composed entirely of men. A
bill is being drawn and will be intro
duced to exempt women from jury
duty.
That the initiative and referendum
will be submitted by the coming Legis-
lature in the form of constitutional
amendment is probable. The main
question now apparently is to raise the
percentage of signers as high as pos
sible for initiating law in order to
keep down expenses. Extremists are
proposing, once the initiative and ref
erendum is adopted, to abolish the
Legislature as now constituted. and in
it's place to have commission of from
three to IL members to meet the year
around to consider and draw up bills
to be presented to the voters in legal
form and to prevent conflict in laws.
The lawmakers are, in any event,
bound to have an interesting time
while in Olympia, and whether or not
it is the last session composed entirely
of men or is the final session of the
Legislature as now constituted, it is
most certain to be memorable one.

PUGET SOUND COMMERCE
SHOWS GREAT ADVANCE

Port Townsend, Jan. 7.-AccOrding
to the records in the custom house the
business of the Puget Sound collec-
ton district show that 1910 was the
banner year in the matter of cOllec-
tions and imports, while the exports
will exceed those of the year 1909, but
not those of the three previous years.
During the year ending December 81,
1910, the collections from all sources
reached the enormous figures of ST.,
818,974.65, which is the largest in the
history of the district and is an in
crease of about $50 per cent since the
year 1905. Of the total amount of col
lections Seattle contributed $1,084,-
51274, or $346,O51.87 more than the
other eighteen ports in the district,
which includes Tacoma, Everett and
Bellingnam.
The exports for the year reached
value of $3O,353,477, or nearly one mil
Lon dollars more than during the year
1909. Seattle leads all other ports in
the district in tue matter of exports
with $11, 782,47 to it's credit. Tacoma
was close second with $11,079,726,
while the remainder of the $20,353,477
is credited to the other seventeen
ports.
The imports were $32,356,217, which
is an increase of nearly 800 per cent,
in the past six years and 20 per cent
over last year. Seattle imported $751;
461,777 or more than one-haf of the
entire district The imports of Tacoma
during the same period were $685.
013.
Alaska cuts an important figure in
the commerce of this district, as its
business amounts to nearly one-half Of
the business of the entire district The
value of merchandise of all kinds
shipped to that section during 1910 is
$13,869,033, or an increase of more
than 200 per cent, as compared with
the year 1904.
