CONGRESS AND REFORM.

While reformeTs in Congress are
busy reforming business and correct
Ing IDS imaginary and otherwise for
the benefit of the dear pepuL" IL con-
tiuues 20 tolerate three fine CRAFTS OF
it's own. which the same "pepul" would
very much like 90 see abolished. These
are the mileage, frank.ug and Con-
gressional Record gratis But evident
ly Congress is not disposed 10 do any
housekeeping OF its own. That would
hit the pOckctbuoks Of the members
and stop a lot OF political advertising
which doesn't cost them anything.
The position Congress takes in re-
gard to the triple CRAFTS is Inconsistent
with its hurrah campaign Of reform
and is apparently born of a desire on
the part of the majority of its members
To feather their own nests financially
and politically. When one contem-
plates these CRAFTS in conjunction with
measures to correct illegitmate prac-
tees outside Congress. in the country
az large, such legislation seems
insincere and shallow
Evidently all three CRAFTS will be
retained no matter what party is in
power. Both the mileage and ranking
CRAFTS are expensive and the Congress
sional Record is the biggest kind Of a
costly fraud While purporting to he
a record Of the proceedings Of both
houses its pages are filled with speech
es and statements Of "rerormers" that
were never delivered in Congress.
Then the Record goes back To consu-
tuents to show them what a great hit
their representatives are making. And
for this sort of bunk the country is
paving n good round sum every year.
Recently one speech" prepared bv
