PILED Up ~roubk
The Democrats in an effon to get
places for their party friends seem to
have piled up trouble for themselves.
They excepted from the civil service
the places made necessary for the ex-
ecution of the income tax collections.
Then they followed this by taking Ger
tain deputies out Of the civil service.
Before that they had been overwhelm-
ed with. applications for places. Now
the stream has been redoubled, and
tthose who first applied are asking for
action
Speaking generally Of many applica-
tions received, Congressman Sims of
Tennessee told the house: "From re-
liable sources learn that 5000 appli-
cations have been received from one
southern state for positions where
there are only $50 vacancies In the
whole country" That would indicate
| considerable pressure.
Survivoro Of the Fifty first.
Looking from the press gallery the
other day. the old timers mentioned
that only one member OF the house
was left who was also a member OF
the famous Fifty first, the Reed con
gress. There are other survivors, how
ever, in the present senate. Lodge Of
Massachusetts. Clark of Wyoming.
Bankhead of Alabama. Shively of In
diana. Mark Smith of Arizona. Stone
of Missouri, Burton of Ohio and La
Toilette of Wisconsin were all men,
bers of the house during the Fifty
first congress. Warren Of Wyoming
was for short time q member of the
senate in the same congress.
Size Of States.
The average eastern man does not
have much conception Of the area OF
some of the western states. A group
was recently talking about size. and
after Texas. known by all to be the
biggest in area. no one seemed to have
any conception Of the relative sizes of
other states. One man thought Ne
vada was very small state. or at
least small compared to dozen 9TH
ers Nevada was the third state in
size. following California, until after
the admission Of Montana. New Mexi-
co and Arizona. when she dropped to
sixth place Nevada still holds the
last place in the matter of population.
