CHAMP CLARK
REPLIES To
CRITICISM
OF CONGRESS RECORD DE.
cLAREs HOUSE is DOING MORE
WORK THAN IN TWENTY-FIVE
YEARS.

Washington, April 5. - Speaker
Clark replied Sunday night to criti-
cisms that congress is dawdling in its
work. In a characteristic statement
he denounced such a criticism as
bald and malicious lie,v outlined
what they had accomplished and as
serted that the present house had
worked more steadily and industrious.
ly than any within his service of
twenty-five years.
Commenting on attempts to create
an impression that congress sought
TO thwart the desire of the president
to bring about an adjournment in
time for the political conventions in
June, the speaker declared that "ev-
cry human being with two ideas
above a Hottentot knows that con-
gress is just as anxious to adjourn
before the conventions as the presi-
dent"
There has been much loose talk,
some of il idiotic, some Of it ma
licious,-about the dawdling of con-
gress," said his statement. $50 far
as the house is concerned there is
no truth in it. | am not undertaking
to speak for the senate because /
know nothing worth while touching
the state of its business; but the
business Of the house is further ad-
vanced than usual at this date. Of
course, il is necessary TO pass the
appropriation bill. Otherwise the
wheels of government would stand
stock still and they must be carefully
considered both in committee and in
the house.
THE house has passed two Of the
great supply bills the legislative,
judicial and executive and the Indian
and is now in process of passing the
river and harbor bill. Also two de-
ficiency bills. Two more have been
reported Three more are about ready
70 be reported The house has passed
the Hay military bill, the immigra-
ton bill. three conservation bills and
a multitude of bills of more or less
importance.
NO house in the twenty-five years
that | have been here has worked so
steadily and so industriously as this
one 1t has not adjourned over a
single day since it convened on Jan
uary 3,-a remarkable record,-and
has worked five. six and seven hours
a day-with an occasional night ses
sion. When two more hours a day
are counted in for committee work,
it makes a good days work, TO say
nothing of the time necessary for
department work and correspondence.
That's the recorda fine one-and
yet the public is constantly misled
into believing that congress is not
working at all it is a bald and ma
licious lie.

bills carrying a billion dollars in

sponsible cannot pass bills that way

Fish Sleeps in Dry Seasons.

where it sometimes attains a length
of six feet. During the dry season.
when many of the ponds dry up. the
fish descends some distance into the

sustenance from the far secreted when

Bankhead bill, recently reported fay'
orably TO the senate by the commit
tee on postofices and post roads.
Indiana. South Carolina, Georgia,
Mississippi and Texas are the five
states which have yet 20 equip them
selves with a centralized direction or

active campaign in progress which
ought to prove successful, energized
in great degree by the Hoosier State
Automobile association which Is al
iliated with the American Automo'
bile association. Indiana is great
automobile producing state and a
large percentage of its farmers have
adopted the selfpropelled vehicle.
South Carolina is giving the ques-
ton of state highway department
serious consideration. Georgia is in
an equally hopeful condition, while
Mississippi in its house of representa-
tiyes recently voted against the ere
alton of state commission The
legislators opposed the legislation be-
cause it called for an engineer with a
salary of s2,5OO a year, Maine pays
$4,000 and possesses an unusually
competent official.
Texas under the Bankhead meas
ure would obtain more federal CO.
operation than any other state in the
union, its area taking it into first
place. though 1t falls behind many
other states in population and road
mileage. II is certainty that Texas
will provide a highway department

viso: Except that amounts appor-
toned for any fiscal year to any state

tains this reference to the phenome'

public roads has been all the more

nous development of traffic. Within

CLAIMS SUGAR
MONOPOLY ACT
HOLDS co OD
LOUISIANA APPEALS FROM DE-
CiSlON OF FEDERAL DISTRICT
COURT - CHARGED THAT RE-
FINERs CONTROL TRADE.

Washington, April 3.-Attorney Gen
eral Ruffin G. Pleasant of Louisiana
Saturday filed with the supreme
court a hill setting forth the grounds
upon which he claims the Louisiana
sugar monopoly act of 1915 is consti-
tutional.
In suit brought by the American
Sugar Refining company against state
officials the federal district court for
eastern Louisiana held the act uncon-
stitutional because it arbitrarily eX-
cluded sugar planters refining the
sugar from their own cane and raised
the presumption of monopoly and
trade conspiracy against refiners who
buy sugar in Louisiana at less price
than they pay in other states. The
supreme court will consider the
states appeal next week.
The attorney general claims that
the American Sugar Refining com
pany cannot be heard to ask for an
Injunction against the enforcement
of the law as unconstitutional be-
cause of the uncleanness of its hands.
He declares the district court was
wrong in holding the state tried 10
build up its charge of "unclean hands
on purely ancient history.
Of hn o.
fining business in Louisiana existed
on the day the complaint against the
law was filed and that process Of
bankr1pting the producers of raw
sugar in the state was in progress on
that very day" said the attorney
general.
