There is not a constituency In the
United States that can ascertain how
it's representatives stood on any ques-
ton.
ITO illustrate the strength of this
system, refer to a prominent member
of the caucus who stood in the senate
and said:

These were the words of an able
senator of the majority. He at least

THE UNDERWOOD BILL.

When the Underwood bill-a bill
dealing vitality with the welfare of the
entire nation-was presented in the
senate. only one lonesome amendment
was Offered by a member of the ma
jority. 1t was a bill to regulate the
trusts by a system of taxation which,
the senator hoped would annihilato
them. ! am not discussing the merits
of the proposal but simply am indi-
eating the importance OF the topic with
which it dealt.
That senator took that amendment
into the caucus and asked permission
to offer 1t on the floor. The constitu.
ton gave him that right and il could
not be taken away from him unless hs
yielded it, In speaking on the floor. he
said The senators were elected to

SCORES CAUCUS DOMINATION
Democratic caucus domination came
I'm for a bitter grilling when Senator
Borad said, after referring to the Dem
0cratic platform as that noted work
of modern fiction:
THAT platform declared that Democ-
racy offered the agency for the over
throw of corrupt practices and fraud.
The charge was made that legislation
was not conducted in the open but
that it was framed, digested and con-
Guided in secret. And the president, IN
his inimitable way, said:
IS 1t is in the committee room that
legislation not desired by the interests
dies and it is in the committee room
that legislation which is desired by the
interests thrives
Yet despite this recognition of the
evils of secret legislation, of its menace
to free institutions, | say to you that
not a single measure of any Importance
whatever has been framed by the con-
gress of the United States, as a con-
gress, since the 4th of March, 1918.
