THOUSANDS OF NEW BILLS
LACK OF TEAM WORK CAUSES
CONFUSION IN CONGRESS.
Ambition of Members to Get in Rec
ord Results in Veritable Flood
of Useless Measures.

WASHINGTON, D. eff the six
ty-second congress, during its regu-
lar and extra sessions up to August
26th, had 1888 bills and resolu-
lions under it's consideration or re-
ferred to committees when, with
the senate republican, it was known
that many such bills and resolutions
could not be passed how many will
be placed in the legislative hoppers
in the sixty-third congress with Doth
the senate and house democratic?
This is a question that not even
the astute Champ Clark and others
who are willing to hazard a guess
on presidential possibilities would
answer when the proposition was put
up to them today.
There is a marked lack OF team
work arising from the unwise pubic
standard which tends to measure a
mans value in congress by the num-
Der of pages he fills in the Congress
sional Record. Congressman ire
ouently introduce duplicated meas
ures. In the session ending August
26th, 1912, three senators introduce
ed measures permitting the Order OF
Owls to establish a sanitorium on
public highways. Bills to prohibit
the interstate shipment of liquor
went to the clerks desks almost
without number and the same thing
is true of private pension bills.
Instead of members Of a certain
delegation getting together and out
lining what bills ought to be intro
duced it not frequently happens that
members of the same delegation Will
offer additional measures. The re-
suit is that committees are Hooded

Has Broken Out in New Dlrec-

IONDON.-The ingenuity OF the
militant suffragette party has broken
ont in a new direction and in man
nor likely to cause inconvenience ana
loco IN thousands. 1t took the form
.topiqht of an organized raid upon
tho nillar letter boxes throughout
the city of London, in the west Emu
and many of the suburbs, and also-ln
savara1 provincial towns, including
birmingham and Nottingham
When the postmen went on their
evening rounds to collect the letters
thew discovered in the boxes ACIDS
and black, sticky fluids OF various
kinds in some cases inflamm able
As a result of this the addresses
on the letters in a large number OIL
cases were partly or wholly oDllter-
ated The outrages were carefully
organized. The method generaIly
emnloved was the thrusting into inc
how of a long unsealed envelope con-
tanning an open bottle of fluid. An
o+ber methd was to pour acids ana

with demands for hearings, time is
taken to determine who shall have
credit for the introduction of this or
that bill, and in the end not small
amount of petty jealousy is discover
ed when one member is boosted for
the very thing another one is trying
to do.
There is no limit to the number OF
bills that may be introduced in either
house of congress. Any one is per-
mitted in the house to step to the
clerks desk and drop his measure in
the ever-ready basket, while in the
senate pages dart here and there TAX
ing the papers from members hand
and carrying them straight to the
secretary's desk.
AS an estimate it is believed that
under all the circumstances if more
than $4,000 bills have been thus far
introduced in the present congress
this number will be largely exceeded
after March.
