WOULD ABOLISH
THE U, s. SENATE
Lindbergh Of Minnesota Pre-.
pares Radical Resolution.
VICE PRESIDENCY IN DISCARD
Fifteen Members of Lower House to
Constitute COMMITTEE at Large"
Which Would Have Veto
Power Over Legislation.

Washington, March 3d. = A resolu-
ton proposing u amendment to the
constitution authorizing a radical re-
organization of the legislative branch
Of the federal government has been
prepared by Representative Lind
bergh of Minnesota.
The Lindbergh resolution will pro.
vide for a house of representatives of
315 members with no upper branch.
Three hundred members would be
elected for terms of seven years.
Fifteen of the members would be
elected by the country at large, each
for a term Of fifteen years. Mr.. Lind
bergh's resolution will provide that
the fifteen members thus elected shall
be known as the committee at large.
The committee at large would have
veto power over legislation passed
by the house proper. Legislation dis
approved by the committee at large
would not go to the president for ap-
prevail unless passed over the commit
tees veto by two-thirds vote of the
house. The Lindbergh resolution will
provide that only native born Amer
leans shall be eligible for election to
the committee at large. The reason
for this is that, with the Office of vice
president abolished, succession to the
presidency is provided for through
the committee. In the event of dis
ability or death of the president, the
Lindbergh plan provides that the
chairman of the committee shall sue
/ coed to the office.
The principle of the recall will be q
prominent feature of the Lindbergf
resolution. It will provide that any
member of the house or any member
OF the committee at large may be re
called at any biennial election.
"The senate is no longer responsive
to public. sentiment" said Mr.. Lind
bergh. "a house of 300 members
could work more expeditiously anC
, with better results than house O
391 members, as at present, or house
of 432 members such as we will have
in the next congress"

BIG DISCOVERY OF IRON
Immense Deposit Found in the
Heart of Pennsylvania.
Ore of Highest Grade Lies in Spurs OF
Blue Ridge Mountains, Near
Great Steel Industries.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 21.-Iron, an
immense deposit of highest grade iron
conservatively estimated at more thar
one billion tons, has been located in
the heart of Pennsylvania. The
mother lode of red haematite ore
which scientists for many years be
lieved lay somewhere in southern
Pennsylvania, has been located almost
at the door of the largest steel and
iron industries in the world.
1t is claimed by biologists and Ell
giDeers who have made investigation
that it is the most startling discovery
since the discovery of gold in 1S49
and is destined to mark new era in
the steel and iron industry of this
country.
1t is located in Ayr township, Full
ton county, in three spurs OF the Blue
Ridge mountains known as Meadow
Ground mountains, Lowry's Knob and
Dickie mountain, 100 miles from Balti-
more. 200 miles from Philadelphia and
go miles by rail from Pittsburg The
most remarkable thing about it is the
fact that there are three kinds of ore:
Red haematite, estimated at more
than 250,000,000 tons, brown haematite
in about the same quantity. and car.
Donate of iron to the extent of more
than half a billion tons.

TO be explained, but all OF this effort
was far from in vain, for now, as
Mrs. Bacon well points out, the term
is used Familiarity. Summing up the
situation she says that the press con-

men and club women have become
actively interested in it and from
one end of Indiana to the other the
housing movement is sweeping in a

the way from the start and who
more than any other, will be re-
sponsible when Indiana takes its

AS an indication that Mrs. Bacon
does not overstate the situation
when she ikens the movement to a
great wave, just consider that the

some pointed questions to the M. O.

bly, this bold lobbying of the city
mail order houses for general par

want to break down the home mar
ket by destruction prices and then,
when they have clear field, form a
mighty trust and fleece the helpless
public as other big trusts are now
doing. The letter follows:

part of the state, ere going into

particularly in Indiana cities. These

That the movement is one which
not only the women but the men
may we'll join is pointedly indicated

many of the dollars which you
gather in from rural communities do
you ever send back to help them in

On the other hand, why are you
intent on driving the home market
out of active possibility? Does your
self interest lead you to anticipate
that wrecking the home market would

Motives In Their Efforts To
Get Help From Post
Office.

Washington, D. c., March 16.-
In a frank and thoughtful spirit
Congressman Henry Barnhart today
wrote a letter of public interest to
a Buffalo mail order concern. Some
days ago the president of this cor
poration sent Mr.. Barnhart a per-
emptory telegram telling him to vote
for a general parcels post bill, and
he replied in a brief inquiry ask
ing what. if any, selfish interest
prompted the sender to make such
a demand.
The reply came in long letter
which was principally an attack on
the local market, and copies of this
letter were sent to all Members of
Congress- The letter sets forth the
Mail Order House opinion that the
local merchant has had his day and
the home market must go tie way

pillow and the tallow dip.

SPLENDID PICTURES TO Be
SHOWN AT HIGH SCHOOL

The collection of pictures to be
exhibited at the high school Thurs
day, the nineteenth, seems to be
drawing the active support of all
friends of the public schools. The

ing with the teachers to make the
exhibit as far as possible an index of
the good will of the Kennewick peo-
pie in their support of any move
ment making for the elevation Of
the taste of children for good pic
lures.
The difference between a cheap
and hideous chrome and good
picture will soon make itself felt
even to small children if there be

and school decoration, and the funds
realized from this exhibit, it is to
be remembered, are to be devoted
to the purchase of pictures for the
schools. The admission fee of fif-
teen cents is trifing for SO large and
fine an exhibit.
This exhibit. or one like it from
the same company, has been shown
in all the leading cities OF this coun-
try and has been accorded unusual
praise from the press wherever ex-
hibited. The large dailbes from the
great cities have been especially en-
thusiastic over both the pictures
themselves and the purpose OF the
exhibit. Many famous artists are
represented in the collection, few
