Nobody objects to proper Government
investigation or regulation, but in these
days 1t Is proper to consider who are the
people that are hurt by poor business.
and 1t Is equally proper to ask how the
Government can economically and en-
GENTLY direct business when Il Is a well
known fact that it, management OF the
AFFAIRS OF the people Is extravagant and
unbusinesslike. one thousand million
dollars a year are being spent to run the
Government without any attempt at
either economy or efficiency.
MANY people think OF corporations and
railroads as great combinations Of million-
aires and that these millionaires are the
only ones who are hurt by anything which
reduces their profits. As q matter Of fact
the great majority of the stockholders of
all corporations are people Of moderate
means to whom the dividends are an I'm

Representative Barnhart of Indiana
demanded the other day that the
house Congressional Record be pruned
Of random articles on subjects outside

called attention to the fact that in the
last congress he obtained unanimous
consent that Mr.. Barnhart's eulogy on

for several months. in a concerted er.
fort to obtain some relief from the
excessive taxation which the statute
passed by the. last Legislature i'm
poses on the mining men of this state.
Whatever may be the decision of the
District Court. it is certain that the
case will be carried to the State Su
preme Court. In an, fifty-seven of the

HAD sPAsMs OF FRIGHT
House Commissions at an End When
6arnhart's Mistake in Cipher
ing Was Discovered.

The house of representatives was
thrown into temporary spasms OF
fright the other day when Represen-
tative Barnhart of Indiana, chairman
of the committee on printing. an
nounced that the Congressional Rec
ord cost $4,000 day per copy.
He was pleading for economy, and
no one seemed to be paying any at
tention to him, until he put this enor-
nous price upon each copy of the
Congressional Record, which, II true.
would make it the most expensive pub
Hcation ever dreamed OF by man.
Everybody tried to speak at once.
The reason for this was that each
member has sixty copies of the Rec
ord allotted to him for distribution In
his district
1t would not look we'll to have each
constituent read in the Record that
this daily compilation of the spoken
wisdom OF congress is costing king s
ransom.
The noise was SO great that Mr..
Barnhart did not have a chance to ex.
plain. At the height of the disturbance
Representative Thomas of Kentucky
gained the floor. He asked unanimous
consent to grant leave of absence to
Mr.. Barnhart for one week. in the
hope that during that time the gentle.
man from Indiana might give close
study to arithmetic and the multipli.
cation table.
tier the noise had subsidized 1t was
discovered that Mr. Barnhart had
made mistake in ciphering What he
meant was that the entire daily edi-
ton of the Congressional Record cost
the government about $4,000.

MouRNs FOR NEGRO SERVANT
Georgia Representative SO Overcome
by Emotion He Could Hardly
Contain Himself.

Representative Dudley NJ Hughes OF
Georgia appeared in his seat in the
house recently SO overcome by emo
ton he could hardly contain himself.
When one of his colleagues asked him
what the matter was he explained that
an old negro woman. Lottie Goode.
who had been a nurse in his family for
Is years. had died in Georgia.
The grief of Mr.. Hughes at the loss
OF this servant serves to illustrate the
attitude OF the average southern mem.
lber of congress toward the negro as
a race. Mr.. Hughes has well defined
views on this subject.
These northern people don't know
how to treat the negro" he said, re-
Gently. Il have about 200 of them at
home who are dependent on me. You
must maintain discipline among
them. Some of them need a whipping
