A MILLIoNAIREs' RESERVE.

newspapers that a syndicate of mil
lionaires has purchased 6000 acres of
land overlooking Los Angeles "for the
purpose of establishing milhonaires

is stated TO be 10 limit the member
ship Of the syndicate to fifty stock
holders. Andrew Carnegie aud Mr..
Schwab are named especially in con-
nectiou with the project, 1t is stated
that no persons other than members OF
the syndicate and their families will be
admitted to the enclosure (it is to be
strictly enclosed, it secms,) without a
formal permit. II is further said that

WHITELAW REID DEAD.

! The death Of Embassador Whitcla W
Reid in London is no great shock Ia
the world. Mr.. Reid has been i'm i'll
health for long time, and the reports
of his failing vitality had prepared the
public for the news Of the death which
came on Sunday evening.
Mr., Reid has cut good deal Of 4
figure in the public life Of the United
States He was first clerk of the Ways
and Means Committee in the House.
and enjoyed unusual opportunities as
such of Knowing what was likely TO be
reported by the committee. In the
early stages of the Civil War he was a
noted war CORES spondcnt. and did great
service, not only TO his newspaper. but
to the American public. in giving facts
and reports of campaigns and battles.
He was with the army of the Cumbcr
land for time. and his graphic let
tcrs gave the American people The best
idea Of what that army was doing OF
any accounts that could be had. He
was from his youth interested in news
paper work, and finally, after his mar
riage with Miss Ogden, became inter.
ested in the New York Tribune. and
had much TO do with the curbinC of
Horace Greeley and Grecley's custer
from the editorial management of that
paper. 1t was a sad chapter in Ameri-
can journalism.
Mr.. Reid was candidate for the Vice
Presidency when Harrison ran for Pres
idcnt in 1892 and was beaten by Mr.
Cleveland, who that year was elected
for his second term. Mr. Reid has al
ways stood high in the councils Of the
party, but he was espe-
,ially honored when Mr.. Mckinley came
into office, and afterwards by Colonel
Roosevelt and more recently by Presi.

MEMBERSHIP OF THE HOUSE

We see criticism Of the large
membership of the lower House OF
Congress, and this criticism is voiced
perhaps as well by the Hartford
Courant in the following extract as it
has been expressed by any one. viz
Eventually IL not sooner. the House
will have TO "bant:" It's too corpulent,
The House OF the First Congress had
90 members When the last century
began bess;n It had "a; los: SS The year before Sc
| NAL year-it had 2S3. In the FIRST decade
| OF the present century II had 39i. The
House Of the sixty-third Congress will
and PENNSYLVANIA will have II more
representatives In Congress next wear
| than the whole people OF the United
states had there in President Washing
| toms time.
The objection to cutting down the
membership of the House OF Repre-
sentatives is that it makes too large
constituency; too many people have
to be joined together in order To form
one Representative district: and that
joinder is against public policy in that
| it prevents the just and proper repre-
sentation of the people
The membership in the House has
never been cut but once, and that was
after the Federal census of lS40. The
previous Congress contained 242 mem
bers. Under the census of 1910 the
membership was reduced by 10, TO 232
and the Representative ratio increased
from 47,700 TO 70.6S0. There was q
fnll
large increase in the Representative
ratio and vet the Representative ratio
Of that year would give now House
of very many more than a thousand
members.
The membership OF the House has
increased constantly from 1910 to now.
From the census Of 1850 the member
ship was 237, with a Representative
ratio of 1923; from 1860 the member
ship was 243, with a Representative
ratio OF l27,3Sl; from 1870 the mem.
bership was 293. with Representative
ratio Of l3l, ,425; from 1880 the men,
bership was 332, with a Representative
ratio of lJl oil: from 1890 the mem
bership was 351 with Representative
ratio of l13.90l: from 1900 the mem
bership was $50. with a Representative
ratio Of 4,ls2: from 1910 the mem
bership was made I35. with a Repre-
sentative ratio OF 2l2,407. The addi-
tion of New Mexico and Arizona has
increased the membership TO 40.
The present Representative ratio,
2le,407. makes very large con
sttuency. The ratio is more likely 10
be reduced and the membership in
creased than the reverse Nor is there
any particular reason why a member
ship Of 435, or even OF a much greater
number, should be considered excessive
or even cumbersome. The British
House of Commons has 7S2 members.
II meets in a chamber Of smaller loor
space than the chamber OF the House
Of Representatives. But the members
Of the House of Commons sit on
benches, close together. whereas our
Representatives each has chair and

WOMAN SUFFRAGE

Equal suffrage is soon to be
realized in all of the territory
constituting the United States.
Only few years ago this
would have been called a dream
and by some a bad dream. But
the idea of woman suffrage has
gained ground steadily. Ten
states have now given women
the same voting rights as men.
In the order in which they
adopted equal suffrage the
states which had come into
line prior to 1912 are: Wyom-
ing, Colorado, Utah, Idaho,
Washington and California.
This years election added
Michigan, Kansas, Arizona
and Oregon.
Montana, Nevada and Texas
and likely North Dakota will
vote on the question at the
next election. The suffra age
proposition will come before
the legislatures of New York,
Pennsylvania, New jersey,
Massachusetts,. Illinois, Indiana,
Missouri and Minnesota this
winter. Ohio will take it up
at the earliest moment posi-
BILE under their new initiative
and referendum law in 1914.
