Senator Gallinger Wants
Referendum

And now it is said that good old
Senator Gallinger. whose face every
one likes regardless of his politics.
unless we except his arch enemy Sen
ator LaFolette, has been indicating
that "Barkis is willin'" in case the
people of New Hampshire desire him
to again represent them in the Sen
ate. Just think of it-Gallinger has
proposed that the new tariff bill be
submitted to a national referendum
before 1t becomes effective. The gen
tlemen who have long advocated the
referendum principle refuse to stand
for the Gallinger idea, and a year
ago Mr. Gallinger would have thrown
up his hands in holy horror of such
a proposal as he has now made

Good For Half a Century

Most every Congressman who spoke
upon the currency question brought
out some important feature, and MT
Guernsey of Maine called attention
TO the fact that while the tariff is
constantly a subject for the revision
lists, that generally currency legisla-
ton, when enacted may continue I'M
changed for half a century or more,
as such has been the history OF the
present national banking law. In his
speech Mr.. Guernsey abjured his fell
low Congressman to keep off the
cross roads Of politics and privileges"
He said that he believed ii more ad
visable to keep straight on to the
port to which he set sail"
