Commission Building.

Another proposition Of great local in
terest is the agitation for an eight hundred
and-ffty-thousand-d dollar building for the
interstate commerce commission. Pres
sure is being brought on the committee
to appropriate that sum for new build
ing, although a rented building, spe-
cially erected for the commission,
is in service. Commissioner Judson
c. Clements is especially anxious
for new public building. Many
of the records of the commission
are housed and cramped in various
buildings and offices around the city, and
the committee will be informed that there
is great danger from possible fire. a
destructive confiagration would ruin rail-
road and industrial records of incalcu-
liable value.

Senior Senators Have Power.

How the rule of seniority places the
power in the hands of the older senators
is shown by glance at the committee
assignments of some of the older demo-
Gratis. AS a general rule. small coterie
hold the ranking or second place on most
of the important committees, such as
finance, appropriations, judiciary, inter
state commerce, naval affairs, military
affairs, foreign relations and rules.
There are Senators Bacon, Martin and
Tilman, who entered the Senate on the
same day in 1895 and who are the oldest
democrats in point of service. Senator
Tillman is the ranking democrat on eight
committees, and that means. under the
rule of seniority, he can have his choice
of eight chairmanShipS and still hold the
second place on the other seven. Among
these eight are the committees on apprO-
priatiOnS interstate commerce and naval
affairs. Senator Bacon Is the ranking
democrat on five committees, including
foreign relations, Judiciary and rules.
Senator Martin is chairman of the demo-
cratic caucus and ranking democrat on
! four committees, including commerce.
Under the plan proposed by some of the
newer senators, these older senators
| would be allowed to make their choice OF
| a craftsmanship to which their seniority
| entities them and then yield their second
place positions TO newer senators.
1t is not that the second place on a
committee is in itself powerful, but
| the yielding of that place by older SEN
| ators would make places on the commit
| tees Tor the newer senators and put more
| new blood into the committee work 1t
| is fe't. according 10 the general talk that
| the older senators are inclined to be more
| conservative than the younger senator's
and that the more younger senators there
| are on committees the more prog eSSiVe
| or radical will be the legislative work of
| the committee.

Questions for Consideration.

suppose we put aSlQe many or the
questions which the more progressive
members of the party advocate and take
alone for the sake of the argument
those questions which no conservative and
no progressive can refuse to consider as
imminent for solution. Take these: A
proper system of national taxation. the
reha bilitation of our financial system a
proper and effective treatment Of the
subject of the trusts.
The political party which offers to the
country a e3mprehens We and effective
plan which deals with these matters in
the light of present conditions need have
no trouble in commanding the support OF
vast majority of the people for the next
quarter Of century Without this We
will all be in the quagmire and broken
into fact. .onS-and this condition Will pre-
vail in all parties. Perhaps 1t is too soon
to expect il. but must witness the
chaotic cond tion of politics until il hap
pens. No reorgan Zation which is not
built on such a foundation Will amount
to a great deal. What We want is an
issue, and we want that issue to be poll
cies and not persons.
About twenty years ago Congress
placed upon the statute books d law

destruction OF com binaUOnS, popu.arlE

Congress said Behold il was very good.

work so far as the regulation or con-

been reached upon that subject, and

Nothing in my judgment, except either

Margin of Control Small.

So small will be the margin of demo-
cratic control that a small group OF
democrats might remain away from the
Senate or take some other method of re-
volt and leave the remaining democrats
powerless to reorganize the Senate as
they might wish. The newer democrats
who clamor for important committee as
signments, and who are among the most
aggressive members of the upper house.
are holding this position as a trump card
with which to turn many tricks.
The Senate committees have important
influence in shaping legislation in Con-
gress and control the distribution of a
goodly amount of patronage. Because
of the rule of seniority which has long
prevailed the important places on most
Of the committees are held by democrats
who have Ions been members of the Sen
ate; because OF the same rule the newer
democrats have only unimportant places
on the committees. 1t is the desire of
these newer men to get more important
committee places that has led to the agi-
tation in the ranks Of the democrats.

Il do not see much in the way OF en-

The people are in advance Of their

Servia is Uneasy.

Servia appears to fear that Austria
Hungary will not wait for the whole
question of the Balkans to be considered
by a conference of the European powers
after the cessation of hostilities. Ac-
cording to reports reaching here from
Vienna, she is mobilizinS her army on
the Austrian frontier for the protection
OF her territory.
Elsewhere q more optimistic view is
held. and, although a Warlike feeling pre-
walls in Vienna and st. Petersburg the
rulers and ministers OF Russia and Aus
tria-HunSary continue working to avert
a conflict
The suggestion has been thrown out in
one diplomatic quarter that the matter
would be quickly settled if Servia were
given the port of San Giovanni di Medua
on the same terms as those by which
Montenegro held Antivari until 1905
Those conditions We're that no forts
should be erected and no Montenegrin
WarShipS should be stationed there, and
no warships should be admitted to the
port.
Neither Servia nor Austria-Hungary
has expressed an opinion on this pro-
posal. and so far as is known here
there has been no relaxation from the
original demand of the Servians for
ports on the Adratic nor on the part
OF Austria-Hungary in prohibiting her
from taking them
