REBELLION AGAINST TYRANNY IN
CONGRESS.

being made now, in the view of mem
Der who has resigned from the ways
and means committee to give point to
his criticism. The Republican minor
ity sit idly by watching the proceed
ings, as powerless as the spectators
in the gallery, and the Democrats
themselves, this member complains,
are bound by caucus rules to vote like
sheep for the measures approved by
the party leaders. In this way a large
part of the country has no real voice
in our legislation. In short, Cannon
ism" is declared to be still in the sad
die, only under Democratic auspices,
and there are mutterings of another
insurrection against its tyranny. The
call for the revolt has been sounded by
Representative Sydney Anderson
Prog. Rep), of Minnesota, who pre-
faces his resolution for an investiga-
ton of caucus methods in the house
by resigning his place on the ways
and means committee. This resolu-
ton provides for committee to de-
termine if by secret and caucus me-
thods' members are deprived of their
rights and prevented from serving
their constituents" Mr. Anderson
claim that the issue he raises is not
essentially a partizan one finds some
support in the recent protests of
Democratic congressman against the
operation of caucus rule. Thus Rep
resentative jeremiah Donovan (Dem.)
OF Connecticut, declares that the sec
ret caucus is the device of the devil"
and that the time has come for the
Democrats to abandon it," And Rep
resentative Sisson (Dem), of Missis-
sippi, announced that he would vote
against his party's currenry bill as
means of expressing his opposition to
secret caucus methods" Neverthe-
less the Democratic papers are in
clined to make light of the matter
while the Republican papers take an
opposite stand and show an equally
marked tendency to make party capt.
tai of it.
According to Mr.. Anderson, the eau
Gus system perpetuates the very evils
which were supposed to disappear
with the gag rules" and "steam-roll-
err methods of Cannonism. Admitting ,
that some good things have been done
even under the caucus SYSTEM" be

for, and in most instances she
manages to save something on the
amount set aside for that particu-
lar purpose. The total savings
thus made go into the bank regu-
larly to be safe and draw interest.
A New Yorker who owns real
estate worth $4,000, said recently
that this property represented
what he had saved by shaving
himself and backing his own
shoes. This may sound strange,
but it will figure out all rights.
Try it and see.
young man reading about
Benjamin Franklin's well known
plan of "a day-book of vices and
virtues" decided to keep tabs on
himself and impose fines for his
shortcomings. He charged him
self cent for every minute he lay
abed after the proper time to get
up. He fined himself five cents
minute for being late to work and
a larger penalty for every duty
put over day. OF course this
money was saved with happy re-
suits.
A Schenectady, N. Y, woman
gives this testimony: 81 find !

ute details. The little sums drift
away one by one and, unpereeiv-
ed, quickly amount to large ones.
For instance, in our city six street
car tickets are sold for twenty
five cents. | always buy tickets
rather than pay five cents each
time, SO | save twenty cents on
every dollar.

TALKS ON THRIFT
NO. 10.-SOME PRACTICAL
EXAMPLES.


THE saving of money usually
means the saving of man. 1t
means cutting off indul licences or
avoiding vicious habits. The little
difference between what you earn
and what you spend is power. 1t
often measures the distance be-
tween success and failure. ORR
son SWEET Marden.
Sometimes a person has a savin;
disposition, but he does not know how
to save. If there are any such wht
are reading these Talks" we recon
mend to their attention the followin;
actual plans used by successful
savers:
Mutual savings schemes are
good. They can be adopted by
small group of fellow workers or
by family, and can be conducted
in a very simple way, the princi-
pal thing being for each member
to agree to deposit a certain sum
in the bank every pay day or the
first of every month.
Some families adopt a system of
cash penalties for such things as
getting up late, using slang, neg
lect of duties, etc., and these
small fines" are deposited in a
little home bank to help swell the
savings bank fund.
One father decided some years
ago to save every quarter that he
received bearing the date of his
childs birth The result is that
when the child grows up he will
have sufficient sum to give him
a thorough education, or to start
him in business.
Another bank depositor saves
every penny that comes to him in
change in the course of the day.
Some parents opened a bank
account with a deposit of $50 up
on the birth of their first child.
On the child's birthday anniver-
saries and at Christmas time
every year they make additional
deposits. Now they have three
children and there is a separate
savings bank account for each of
them
Some families arrange their
household affairs with a view to
the systematic cooperation of
every member in the efforts to
save money. They figure out in
advance just what the weekly liv-
ing expenses will be. Then thew
write out the separate items with
the amounts opposite-meat, So
bread, $50, etc.-and paste the
slips on little boxes. Every week

Very Stringent road laws have been
passed by the state of Idaho govern
ing both automobiles and horse drawn
vehicles. The laws are worth enforc-
ing for the protection of life and prop
erty, but from observation ninety per
cent Of the drivers of horses consider
that such laws apply only to motor
driven vehicles. 1t is common sight
in this city on the busiest corner to
see drivers of drays and farm wagons
violate all of the road laws imagin-
able and get away with pulling over
to the left of the road in the path of
traffic which is occupying its own
side of the road and observing road
rules. Drivers of drays and women
drivers are the worst offenders. The
Times believes that the drivers of
teams should be made to conform to
the road rules and prevent accident.

On all sides can be heard the clamor
for a permanent fair organization for
this county. Judging from the popu-
lar clamor this present time is about
right for pressing the claims of such
fair ON the pocketbooks of both farm
ers and business men. Better business
conditions will incline the merchants
to subscribe more now than during
the summer months depression of
next year. The ranchers are getting
money for their crops and are feeling
jubilant over the fine prices obtained.
To the Times the situation at present
cannot be bettered for getting good
donations for the fair stock. 1t is a
good thing and should be pushed along
right now.

| his resignation from the ways and
means committee, where he felt his
membership to be under the present
system lat once farce and a fraud"
he says in part:
81 am induced to resign my men,

and the system of legislation in vogue
here deprive me of my opportunity for

mittee and because my continuance on

vice and the system of legislation, Wis
ible and invisible, which obtains here
strips me of my prerogatives as a rep
resentative of the people,"
His predicament has it's roots in the
caucus system, of which he goes on to
say:
THE caucus system is new only in
form. In effect it has been in use for
many years. The questions which it
presents are not political. | disclaim
any partizan purpose in discussing
them at this time.
"These questions reach the very
foundation of representative govern
ment, for the effect of the caucus is to
deprive the minority wholly of parti-
cipation in the actual making of leg
islation. Under this system TAI con-
gressional districts are wholly unrep-
resented. Nine States-Tdaho, Nevada,
North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota,
Utah, Vermont, Washington, and Wyo-
ming-are totally deprived Of any par
ticipation in the making of legislation
vitality affecting their interests, for
these states send no Democrats to the
house, and consequently are not rep
resented in the legislative annex,
where legislation is really made.
Eighteen other states are partially I'M
represented. Eight out OF II districts
in California, Iowa, and Wisconsin, 9
out Of 10 in Minnesota, 10 out of z in
Michigan, and 20 out of SO in Pennsyl-
vania, are wholly without representa-
ton, 1t requires no argument to dem
onstrate the iniquity of the situation
Its sectional and discriminative re-
suits are apparent in legislation.

OF their weakened condition and

rheumatism comes the rheumatic
