WASHINGTON. D. c.. July 13.-
Congressman Thomas w. Miller. Of
Delaware, not only voted against the
Democratic omnibus revenue bill
which was passed by the House this
week, but he spoke in opposition to
II. and at the same time was given
permission to extend his remarks in
the Congressional Record because Of
the limit on debate. Mr.. Miller pre-
sented protests from his constituents
against the revenue bill, and showed
how drastic and eXtortionate it would
be againt the powder industry, which
centers in Delaware. Mr.. Miller. in
course Of his remarks, said:
'Mr Speaker, on the floor today We
witnessed the Representatives Of Ari-
zona and Montana protesting against
the tax on copper in this bill. and if
their predictions are true as to the
effect of this bill on this great indus
try in their States. and no one has
reason to doubt their assertions, a
great injury will be done to their peo-
pie should this bill be enacted into
law. on account Of only one provision
in this bill, viz, the copper tax. Ari-
zona is represented on this floor by
one representative, Democrat and
Montana by two members Of the same

MEN RESTLESS OVER
ROUTINE CAMP LIFE

No orders as yet have been received
by the two battalions Of the Organized
Militia Of Delaware, encamped on the
State Rifle Range. to send them to the
border, and the men nave become rest
less waiting to break camp and get on
the move"
They nave become disgusted with the
situation, and are about giving up hope
of moving farther than the rife range.
In some quarters there is a feeling
that the militiamen will not be moved
until after Saturday. The object o.
this. it is said, is to give the opportun
ity for a commissioner, OF special regis
trar. to be appointed by Governor Mil
Ter, to visit camp on Saturday and reg
ister every voter who desires to vote Al
the November election. Under the law
the men who 90 into the military ser
vice are entitled TO register and to vote
and the Governor is empowered 10 an
point a commissioner to register til,
men and also to receive their ballots OF
election day. Should the men be regis
tered on Saturday at camp. it woult

find it in all our western institu-
tiOns.
One of the anomalies of our
Federal constitution lies in the
fact>that after declaring all men
free and equal in the sight of the
law, the trainers went on to insti-
tute two houses, an upper and
lower, patterned closely after the
House of Lords and the House of
Commons. We may imagine the
discussion-'But we have declar-
ed there shall be no nobility, no
class distinction in our western
republic. How shall we have
higher and lower representative
body? And can we not hear
someone answer, ooh, but in
America the State is sovereign,
and therefore the Senate should
represent the state and the House
the common people, The states in
framing their constitutions cop
led almost verbatim the Federal
document, the cities again copy
ing from the states.
"And here we may say England
has advanced beyond the United
States in pure and progressive
democracy. Her House of Lords
might as we'll be dissolved polit-
ically, and l believe it will be fol-
lowing this war; Her king has
little real power. The House of
Commons is supreme; in it we
find the single responsible body of
the British Empire.
"The idea of commission gov
eminent, then, is to reduce the
two councils and the mayor, to a
governing body of five men, and
thus do away with the custom of
lodging the issue. which is such a
prevalent one in city govern
ment." The speaker paused tc
describe the difficulties often.
d times encountered in the passage
of simple bill, undoubtedly fol
the best interest of the city; OF
the difficulty in putting ones fin
ger on the trouble, and of the Sc
cret interests opposing it.
In closing he declared himsel.
for commission government, a.
means of fulfilling the man
dates of the people, rather thai
working in league with the un
seen powers of secret govern
ment.

COMMISSION FORM
OF GOVERNMENT
Its Historical Significance Dis
cussed by Mr.. Irving Warner

Its historical OlgnlllCallCe LIS
cussed by Mr.. Irving Warner
Mr.. Irving Warner, of Will
mington, who has spent years in
the study Of commission govern
ment as adopted in over three
hundred cities, spoke on the sub
iect before students of the Sum-
mer School on Monday. Mr.. War
ner dwelt on the historical signi-
ficance of the subject, as related
to the progress of democracy, de-
claring that commission govern
ment fits in we'll with the spirit
of progress. The speaker express
sed appreciation of the opportun-
itv to address suhc large gath
ering of women on the subject OF
government, declaring whether
ity to address such large gath
or not, he was convinced they
would have in the future.
"You understand" Mr.. Warner
said, chat the prevailing form OF
government, in cities of $4,000 and
UPWARDS, has been the check and
balance form-two councils,
select and common, and a mayor
of the city. If you should ask
any politician why his city has
two councils, he will Immediately
tell you for checks and balances:
If YOU press him further he will
point to the state legislature, with
it's two branches, and if that fails
to satisfy you, to the national
government. In reality, our legis-
lative system is a political veri-
form appendix, which was OF use
, at one time, but is now very often
only a source of trouble. The idea
the two houses really dates back
, two thousand years to the time OF
the Roman Republic. Following
:. the fall of the Republic there was
a decline in democracy, as IN
every other phase of progress.
