identical with the measure reported
by Representative Crumpacker OF
Indiana from the census committee
which passed the house in the clos

measure passed lacked the provision
designed TO prevent an increase in
the size Of the house as a result Of

tary OF commerce and labor power to
make sapportionmonts in the future
without further legislation by con
gress.

Ahs OF these who advocated the re-
strictiye. provision took the ground
that the Increased size Of the house
meant decreased efficiency as wen as
decreased efficiency in individual
members. Represetatiye Olmsi cad OF
Pennsylvania, who is quick on fig

one new member that every man in
the house should be able to call up
any bill at any time for action. and
showed that. on conservative calcu-
lation. based on the 10000 bills and
resolutions introduced in the Sixty

would have made this ono congress

New Orleans, Dec. 27.-Liverpool
cables this morning show that no se-
