and so 1t goes all over the county. The
news OF this improvement is certainly
welcome to all. The prosperity of all

proving their surroundings and add.

Champ Clark says the number
should be cut down to 300 and kept
there.
II would mean vast saving to the

the Eagle has devoted considerable
space recently to retrenchment In
governmental expenditures, we quote
with pleasure the following utterance
from the Houston Post on Speaker
Clark's statement: ol
Champ Clark made no idle sugges.
ton the other day when he said that
the membership of the House OF Rep.
resentatives ought to be reduced to
300 and kept at that figure.
"The Sixty-sixth Congress, to be
chosen in 1918. will make a new an.
portionment based upon the 1920 cen.
sus. and at that time the reduction
ought to be made.
ut would be iustfiable to reduce
the membership Of the House as a
matter Of economy. II there were not
other good reasons for doing so. The
saving In the matter OF salaries. clerk
hire, mileage. free seeds. stationery
and the abuse Of the franking priv.
iege would be considerable. but II
would mean other economies as well.
