INEFFICIENT DEMOCRACY

* was predicted when the last ses-
sion Of the Sixty-fourth Congress was
we'll under way about the Christmas
HOLIDAYS that the Constitutional llml-
tation Of the body would find 1t with
its work incomplete. There were
true prophets in those days. The un'
precedented jam of legislation at the
close of the recent session was IN no
sense produced BY Republicans n
either branch. 1t was the result OF
the legislative tactics Of the Demo
Gratis. who, With absolute command Of
the situation at both ends OF the Capt.
to!. delayed the framing Of highly I'M
portanl bills until the last minute anu
who hoped 10 spring the vicious reIe-
nue. bill OF this year at a period IN the
Congressional calendar which would
permit the measure to be jammed
through without 4 debate searching
enough To reveal its iniQuitieS. The
revenue bill should have been decided
upon three months ago. Its main
lines should have been explained and
the cooperation OF both parties should
have been secured in drawing and
passing an act so. essential TO the
country'S welfare.
Instead OF any open and above
board policy like this. the Democratic
Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee drew the bill in company
with his Southern colleagues and then
boasted that the North would have to
nav the taxes which had been i'm
nosed. Under a gag rule the bill was
forced through the House: and IN the
Senate it was taken in hand by few
Democrats who met behind closed
doors and who refused 10 let any Re-
publican know what was being done.
! Ten days before the session was 10
close, when the calendar was clogSed
with all sorts Of Observation-Disclosures
priatiou bills, spy bills. preparedness
measures, the railroad bills. anf what
not, the Democrats undertook TO pre-
vent reasonable discussion Of bill
which laid hundreds Of millions OF ne"
taxes and which permitted the ex-
/; penditure of those millions IN the
| loosest possible way. The RepUDIl-
cans rebellcd. They represent the
people who will have to pay They
we're right in rebelliug. But their re-
bellion was not so much against the
high-handed manner. in which South
crn Democrats shoulder off the Dur
den Of government; support upon
Northern Republicans as against the
sllpshod dilatoriness which marks
Democratic conduct OF public bust
ness.

The fairmont Times halls the re-
sumption Of river traffic between that
city and Pittsburgh as not only en-
couraging TO the present trade inter

bearing on the future development OF
