THE LAST A RUSH

When the Thirteenth assembly gathered, announcement
was made that legislation would not be delayed so tina
there would be a congestion at the close of the session.
Every assembly in Montana has made this announcement
When the last hours of the Thirteenth came, there was
the mad rush of legislation which is responsible for the
presence upon our statutes of so many laws which are
worse than worthless.
Every Montana assembly has had this experience.
The last mad rush affords opportunity tor the schemers
to sneak through laws which could never be passed we're
there to be time afforded for consideration. 1t also en-
dangers the validity OF laws, by increasing the liability to
error in the mechanical work of l%awmaking. There is
great likelihood of mistakes in the hurry of the closing
hours.
The closing hours of the Thirteenth were dep1orable in
their frenzed rush and hurry. When the dust has settled,
it will be found that there are laws in force of which the
state knew little and Of which some Of those who voted
knew less. In this respect, however, the Thirteenth was
no exception to the rule of Montana assemblies.
The retaliatory deadlock which characterized the closing
day Of the session added to the opportunity for ~sneaking
over "jokers." 1t increased the confusion and it OBJ
scured the presence of many an Ethiopian in the legisla-
tive w%oodpie. The situation was not necessary. 1t could
have been avoided had the two branches of the assembly
the state.
But this was not the case. In the house there was a
small majority whose purpose was the enactment of prom
legislation. But the minority in the house was active
had the cooperation of the reactionary element which
was in control OF the senate. This made it possible to
hamper the majority and to nulify its work when the CO.
operation of the senate was wanted.
1t is not possible, at this time, to analyze correctly the
work OF the session. 1t is the general impression, we be-
lieve, that the total of accomplishment by the Thirteenth
will not be great. 1t will be necessary to get at the final
record of the work before its value can be estimated. AT
time, that is impossible.
But yesterday and last night at Helena furnished an
for the initiative, an argument which should be
We hear from the opponents of the initiative
that the people cannot intelligently consider measures sub
nitted to them. Granting that there is some voting upon
measures which is not intelligent, is it any less
intelligent than much of the voting which was done in that
asst mad rush in Helena? Will not an initiative measure
receive more careful consideration than was given to many
Of the laws enacted at the last minute in Helena?

BY Frederic J.. Haskin.

When, in 1897, Lyman j. Gage sue
ceeded John G.. Carlisle as secretary
of the treasury, he was overwhelmed
with applications for positions, the
majority of which were under civil
service. Viewing a batch of a thou
sand or more applications from those
who were seeking office, he declared
it seemed to him most ridiculous thai
nine-tenths of those who thought
themselves intelligent enough to assist
in making the Mckinley administra-
ton a success, were ignorant about
the civil service laws that they did not
Know the positions they applied for
We're under the classified service, and
were too Indifferent to look up the
status of the positions they desired
before making application.
Inc fact of the matter is that the
great swing of the pendulum from the
doctrine that to the victors belong the
spolls to the policy of merit and train
ING, has been so gradual that few peo-
pie have anything more than a casual
IDEA that such a sweeping reform has
actually taken place. Coupled with
this lack of realization among the
masses of people as to what the civil
service really does stand for, is the
fuinpr that the merit system is simply
a thing for politicians to hide behind
from Office seekers they do not de-
sire to appoint. the while they place
IN office those who are their favor
ties.
Even in Washington where the peo-

general sentiment that this senator

rigid adherence to civil service prin-

feels that he is the victim of a sys-

at the upbuilding Of the government
And of these there are many.
ENcn when there is no change of ad-
minlstration the number who knock at
the doors of the government for ad-

Last year, for instance, ll5,uUO people

This IS a method of filling govern

throughout the years instead of al
lowing them all to be made when n
new administration comes into power.
Since the civil service law was passed
IN 1888, gradually one president after
another has added positions to the list
OF those filled under competitive ex-

KEPT ON THE JUMP
IS WILSON
ONE CONTINUAL ROUND OF BUSI-
NESS CONFRONTS THE
NEW PRESIDENT.

Washington, March 6.-President
Wilson performed many of the routine
duties hat go with the presidency
today. He met his cabinet for its
congratulations of some of the kings
and emperors of the world, and replied
to them; talked with several men
mentioned repeatedly for diplomatic
posts; shook hands with the east room
visitors; was consulted about the leg
%islative program of the democratic
congress-, and suited his action to his
word by declining to interest himself
in patronage matters until one Of his
official family had Deer seen.
The day lacked some of the rush of
yesterday, but it was busy enough to
keep the president on the jump most
of the time and to force Secretary
Tumulty to spend many crowded min
utes out in the corridors of the exec
utive offices disposing of callers at a
rapid-fire rate.
The president quit work promptly at
4 o'clock and went for an automobile
ride. with Mrs. Wilson. He saw Will
liaIn McCombs, chairman of the demo-
cratic national committee, and Joseph
f.. Davies, its secretary, tonight. Both
men have figured prominently as pos
sible diplomatic appointees. They
were closcted with the president in the
White Hous" n~0p0r. Mr.. McCombS
arrived first ara stayed but Il short
time and Mr.. Davies did not appear
until after the White House dinner
was over

CuSsed the matter of accepting the
ambassadorship to France. His visit
concerned questions of patronage. In
innate friends of McCombs say he has
not yet decided whether to accept or
decline the offer of a foreign post. He
has been consulting his friends, some
of whom have advised him against re-
linquishing the craftsmanship of the
democratic national committee. His
health, however, requires a trip.
Whether or not he takes the proffered
position, he soon will leave for Eu-
rope.

white SLAVE PLEA
IS MADE
ILLINOIS STATE SENATOR ASKS
COOPERATION OF ALL
OTHER STATES.

Springfield, H., March 6.-Dcclaring
to the senate white slave commission,
of which he is chairman, that thou
sands of women in this state are re-
celvlng 4 weekly wage of IS or less
and are struggling for existence on
his stipend with practically no ad-
vance or relief in sight, Acting Gov
ernor Barrett O'Hara asked today the
cooperation of the governors and leg
i%slators of the AZ other states in the
crusade against white-slavery.
Mr.. O'Hara sent the following letter
to the governors of the states:
During the first sessions of Il COM
mission to investigate white slave
traffic in Illinois, testimony of reliable
witnesses indicated that most Of this
d~espicable traffic is interstate and it
was found that the rings existing in
Chicago worked ha~nd-in-hand with
similar rings in all of the other states.
In spite of the rigid attention given to
the lam act, it apparently has not
been possible to do away with this
trade. The present commission in
Illinois is working toward the aholi-
ton of this evil within the state
through effective legislation backed by
a strong popular sentiment. Our COM
mission will be in existence for two
years.
1T has seemed to us that the most
feasible way of breaking up the inter
state rings would be to have in each
state a commission similar to our
own. Naturally the Illinois commission
can do nothing with its information in
regard to the white slavery in other
states, but were there a commission in
your state, we could II would invite
the members of your commission to sit
with US and in turn we should hope to
be present at some of your sessions.
In this way, it seems to me, we could
get to the very root of this problem
In discussing reports made to the
committee, Mr.. O'Hara said:
Il have received letters from women,
now happily married, who tell of fear
fun struggles in their efforts in early
days against agents of the white
slave traffic. Other letters are from
employers who frankly confess that at
present they are paying starvation
wages, but will welcome the day when
a state law compels all employers to
pay women a fair living wage. They
maintain that under the present sys-
TEN it would be impossible for them to
pay their woman employees a fair wage
unless their competitors in business
were compelled to pay equally high
wages"
