the efficiency OF the department. IT is
stated that in the average American
city the cost OF street sweeping ash
and garbage removal Is from 81 to
Sllo per capita. and that the latter
rate provides for daily removal OF gar
bage, and for an efficient system OF
street flushing. In Richmond. where
garbage is removed once or twice a
week, the department costs $40 per
CAPITA.

Purpose of Woman's Party.

1T is the purpose Of the womau's
party convention TO form an orgauiza-
ton of women who will choose between
parties on the suffrage issue. The
principle of freedom for women has re-
ceived the verbal support from promi-
nent statesmen too long. The time has
come for action. and we realize. lit
tie sadly, that action viii not come
until one or the other of the great ma
tional parties realizes that they viii
not get the political support of the
women if they do not deal Justly with
the political rights of women.
But We are not going to Chicago to
plan campaign for or against an?
party, but merely to organize our
strength so to be ready for action if
necessary next November 1t is our
hope. however, that il Will not he nee
essary. After all il is of no interest to
sufragists to oppose or support d ma
tional party. Our only interest is TO
secure the passage of the federal suf-
frage amendment through Congress,
and we believe the time has come hen
democrats and republicans alike viii
rival one another in their efforts to in
dorse the federal suffrage Amendment

Would Avoid Prosecutions.

Fear of criminal prosecution of those
who solicit political contributions from
members of the House of Representa-
tives or of the Senate is behind the
movement of the congressman
In approving the conviction the court
decided a member of the House is an
Officer of the United states. The
anxiety Of the members of Congress is
based on a statute which makes II
crime TO solicit political contributions
from Officers of the United States.
The twent~-seven congressman who
are preparing to ask the court Monday
to rehear the Lamar case state IN a
brief already filed in court on their
behalf that committees of Congress
had always supposed congressman were
not officers of the United States, and
consequently that congressional com
mittees or members thereof could law
fully solicit political funds from CON
gressmen.
Voluntary contributions might be
made in the future instead of compel
ling campaign committees to approach
members but congressman are SAID to
he Solicitous as to action by friendly
solicitors in the past.

Twenty-seven representatives nave

members of Congress are officers OF the

tended the courts decision destroys a
rule of construction almost as old as

a member of Congress is not an officer
of the United States.
The ruling was given in the case OF
David Lamar. convicted in New YORK
on charge of attempted fraud by I'm
personatins members of congress
Iamars defense was that he had not
offended the statute against imperson
ating an officer of the United states
because a congressman is not such an
officer 4 petition for rehearlne hled
