SissOn to Remain in Washington

The following telegram receiv-
ed from Congressman Sisson
yesterday MORNINGS SELF explain
atory:
THE world is confronted to-
day with the most serious situa-
ton which History records,
never in the life of humanity
has a situation more dangerous
to nations, individuals to com
merce and trade than the pres
ent European war. The South
ern Cotton Farmers must suffer
first and most unless Congress
affords means of handling, trans
porting and financing the cotton
crop until the war is over and
the European markets reopen,
my duty is here in Washington.
In this crisis the president, all
democratic leaders and the
American people expect every
Congressman to rise above party
and self interest and do his full
duty. Every southern home
will be affected and as anxious
as | am to be amoung my people
in my district at this time the
call of patriotic duty demands
that | remain at my post.

Cured TO "Alta" that the indirect cost
OF the traffic In liquor is many times
greater than the tax 1t pays?
Does he pause to think that the pur-
chasing power of thousands of families
would be tremendously increased II the
liquor traffic should be stopped? Does he
know that the liquor traffic pays less In
wages IN proportion to the capital in
volved than any other line OF business?
Did Alta" read the petition OF the pris-
oners OF the Eastern Penitentiary, whore
over 20 per cent said that their down
fall was due to liquor and asked that
means be taken to stop its manufacture
and sale? Has It occurred to Alta that

Martin SAKE suggests Notifications. OF
Henry Stimson's Plans.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir: The
reported recommendations of ex-Secretary
OF War Stimson In relation to changes In
our State government, and particularly
with reference to our Legislative system
are of great import and interest. From
an experience in the State Senate | am
impeled to comment upon them.
As to tho Short ballot" plan | think
most everybody is agreed. but with re-
spect to giving to the Governor the right
to Introduce bills and support them on the
floor OF the legislative houses and em-
powerlng the Governor instead OF the
Assembly TO prepare and introduce the
annual budget. and requiring him to an
swer at stated times ON the floor of the
House interpretations addressed to him by
members OF tho Legislature. there Is a
wide field for divergence OF opinion. In
the first place many of us still believe in
the division Of governmental powers and
are not yet satisfied by any means that
the time has come for beginning the
breaking down of the lines. Let US con-
slider some notifications which will tend
to produce the desirable results sought
by Mr.. Stlmson and still preserve the In
tegrlty OF our present system.
The idea of II state budget Is excellent.
but let 1t DO made up In the Assembly
by a committee on the budget. composed
of the administrative heads OF depart
ments who shall have seats IN the lower
house with the right to introduce bills
and whenever required by It attend rs
