The Mileage Graft

The Montgomery Advertiser says:
Senator Sheppard Of Texas purposes
to exert his efforts to reduce the
mileage graft Of congressman from 20
cents 10 5 cents a mile. He thinks
that at 5 cents a mile the allowance
would be quite sufficient to defray
the actual and necessary travelling
expenses Of members Of congress to
and from Washington. As an official
Of a great fraternal order, Senator
Sheppard is allowed mileage Of S
cents a mile when travelingon official
business, and he is sure that 5 cents
will pay the expense.
The Houston Post takes it that
the senator is opposed to ringing in"
members Of families on the mileage
allowance, as the house provided
for in its amendment, and that he
stands strictly for an honest mileage. p"
II is found, says the Post. that the
mileage rate is fixed by law rather
than by the appropriation bill, and
the Senator will offer a bill to amend
the law.
This is an old abuse, anditis well
that someone has undertaken sen-
ously to stop it. Imposing on the
people through the government is a
bad practice. II is utterly wrong,
with no reasonable justification.
The people are willing to pay the
legitimate travelling expenses Of their
lawmakers to and fro between
Washington and their homes, but
their is no reason why a trip Of thi:
kind should be made at fat hnan.

Mississippi ChOctaws.

Mississippi Choctaws will at last
have justice done them, Congress
having decided that they are entitled
to share in the distribution Of the
fund sci aside from the sale Of
Indian lands.
For this they are to thank Senator
John Sharp Williams and a few
other members Of Congress, who
have waged a vigorous fight for
several years in their behalf.
At the time the DAVIS Commission
decreed that the Indians must give
up their own homes and move to
to the lands set aside for them in the
Indian Territory, now included in
Oklahoma, to share in the dlstribu-
ton Of this fund, many Of them re-
siding in Mississippi, Louisiana and
a few scattered around in other
States, refused to accept that pro-
vision, and have remained among
the people Of those States.
Senator Williams and some Of the
| Mississippi and Louisiana Congress-
men championed the rights Of these
Ifriendless Indians, and the bill just
passed BY Congess awards them
the justice for which they have SO
Hong fought.

opponent thus far, and il is not be-
lieved that he will have. His friends
are contendlng that he was appoint
ed IN the early part # the session Of
the legislature of 1912 When the
appointment system OF selecting
judges was the legal and only method
provided by law; that his appoint
ment was promptly confirmed by
the Senate, and a commission given
him for a full four years term ending
June II, 1916; that he has served
less than one half Of the term for
which hewas appointedard lawfully
commissioned, aod therefore in all
fairness and justice to him, the peo-
pie should recognize and accord him
a prior claim to election at this time.
It is further agreed that Judge
Stevens gave up a good practice to
90 on the bench and has not served
sufficiently long to gain the fullest
experience as a Judge, and while bis
brief service as chancellor has been
a marked success. and he has given

said stock and such liability may be
