CONGRESS GETS IN LINE

At last Congress has decided to
get ready to begin to have a legis-
lative reference bureau. Many
State legislatures have this very
necessary adjunct. For many years
it has been a fixture in the business
of most foreign parliaments. The
initial appropriation is only s25, 900,
but it is beginning. 1t passed re-
Gently as an amendment to the leg
islative, executive, and judicial ap-
preparation bill, despite the opposi-
ton of ninety-four members of the
House.
The new bureau will be attached
to the Library of Congress. Its ex-
perts will compile and index the
laws of the United States, the
States, and foreign countries. This
in itself will be a tremendous
task, and one of great value when
completed. Nearly every commit
tee in the Congress has been COM
PEELED to waste whole days looking
up previous laws of Congress on the
very subjects with which those COM
mittees were especially concerned.
AS to the laws of other countries,
the ignorance of the average solon
is monumental, only equaled by the
disdain which too many of them dis
play.
A very important duty Of we'll
organized legislative reference bu-
reau was left out: bill drafting. In
every session crude and ambiguous
measures become laws. An in
stance in point is the grave error
in the District appropriation bill
which caused the President to with
hold his signature. 1t is to be
hoped that the next Congress will
provide for systematic bill drafting.

THE PERILS OFMAYORING

II. A. Miller, mayor of Bend,
pre-, will write an autobiography
n the perils of mayoring-when he
atches his breath. Something the
nayor did caused the citizens of
Bend to go on a bender. and their
mayor almost got badly bent.
What did his honor do thus to
grouse his constituents to wildness
Did he license four saloons on all
kides of the most popular, church in
own? Did he turn the ball park
hto a croquet course? Did he
pot the town sack of the last red
ent? Did he get all the citizens in
ne building and then try to blow it
p with dynamite?
No, none of those mild things. He
eerely mustered up courage a few
lays ago to announce his engage
rent to a charming young lady-a
iece of the late Senator Hepburn
y Idaho.
Whereupon the jovial benders Of
bend seized Mayor Miller, manacled
nd chained him, and thrust him into
cage. Like captive of ancient
Tome he was pulled through the
treets. his progress marked by the
lowing of tin bazoos. His admiring
riends took him to the town thea
er where he was exhibited on the
rage and broke up the monthly
how.
Still it seems that the people of
bend, Ore, have no special aver
ion to mayors. Rather, it is the
line honored institution of matri-
bony that excites them. Only a
hort time ago they put their city
ttorney in Jail when he returned
Fith his bride from short honey
boon.
If Bend is not careful its city Off
als will use the recall on it.

HUGE. ROAD PROGRAM.

| Some people who never cease Il
marvel. because the Panama Cana
cost 1875, 100000 are astounded owe,
the proposed expenditure of $500,
100000 for the maintenance ant
building of good roads throughout
the United States. This is the
Bourne plan, the main principles Of
which have been embodied in the
House Shackelford bill and the Sen.
ate Bryan bill, both of which are
now before Congress with little
chance Of general consideration un.
til the next session.
The proposition is simple and will
not cost the Federal Government q
cent in the long run. The National
Government would merely issue
fifty-year per cent bonds for $780,
000, 900, at the rate of 100000, 900
a year. To use the cash the several
States would have to put up their
bonds or securities drawing per
cent The extra 1 per cent would
be the sinking fund which would re-
tire the States bonds. 49,. r.
To assist and advise in the proper
spending of the money would be a
United States Highway Commission.
The amount allotted to each State
would be determined by striking an
average of the percentage of public
highway mileage, assessed value of
taxable property, area, and popula-
ton. 80 e..
The only drawback is that twenty
seven States are prohibited by their
constitutions from issuing bonds to
build public highways. However,
that restriction fitted an older day
and the citizens of those States
would not hesitate to strike out the
hoary clause. -.!
That the American people now ap-
preciate the economic and sociology
cal value of good roads is shown by
the fact that last year they spent
S206, 100000 to get them. This was
an increase of $50 per cent over the
s79,000,000 that was spent nine
years before. There is still great
deal to be done since the 223,774
miles of improved roads represent
but 10 per cent of this country's
total highway mileage.
