Ne,U Census Expected to Increase
House Members from 1875 to 522

basis, the sixty-seventh congress
would be increased to 522.
The basis in 1910 was one con-
gresham to every 210,415 people. In
1912 Arizona and New Mexico came
into the union with one congressman
each, giving the present membership
of 435.
It is estimated that it costs the gov
eminent about $4,000 to maintain a
congressman. His salary is $1,000;
the balance is for a secretary, stenog-
rapher, stationery, franking privilege
and printing. :,
Appointments have been made
with the sole idea that no state should
lose a congressman. In 1910, how
ever. it was found that Iowa was the
onlv state that had lost population
during the previous decade: In decid-
inc how many people should be repre-
sented by one congressman it was
made convenient for Iowa to keep its
IL representatives.

MAIN FEATURES OF
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
SAYS LABOR SHOULD NOT BE
INTERFERED WITH, AND DE-
CLARED FOR "DEMoCRIZA-
TIoN OF INDUSTRY"

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Because
of the presidents illness committees
were not appointed to notify the ex-
ecutive that congress had assembled.
The secretary of the senate and the
clerk of the house were instructed to
inform the white house that congress
was in session and ready to receive
the message.
In his message to congress Presi-
dent Wilson asked for new tariff
laws based on the nations changed
relation to the rest of the world, and
suggested that the income and excess
profits tax schedules be simplified.
The railroad problem he reserved
for a future message, and he made
no statement of his intentions regard
ing the peace treaty or Mexico. Many
of his recommendations were the
same as those submitted to the spe-
cial session last spring, and several
of them are embraced in legislation
already being formulated in the two
houses.
To meet the high cost of living the
president asked extension of the war
time food control bill, federal regu-
lation of cold storage, readjustment
of food transportation, and establish
ment of system of federal licensing
for all corporations engaged in inter-
state commerce.
He declared the causes of unrest
to be superficial and temporary, and
made his only reference to the SEN
ate's failure to ratify the peace trea-
ty in saying that restlessness was due
largely to the nations hesitation in
determining its peace policy.
Labor Conditions Discussed.
In an extended discussion of labor
conditions he declared the workers
had just cause for complaint in many
matters, and that there should be
"full recognition of the rights of
those who work, in whatever rank, to
participate in some organic way in
their welfare" He asserted that the
right of individuals to strike must be
held inviolate.
ga definite program to bring about
an improvement in the conditions of
labor" and bring about a genuine
characterization of industry" was
recommended,
"The only way to keep men from
agitating against grievances is to re-
move the grievances" said the presi-
dents message.
Should Not Interfere With Labor.
"The establishment of the princi-
Piles regarding labor, laid down in
the covenant of the league of ma
tions," said the message, "offers us
the way to industrial peace and con-
Citation. No other road lies open to
Jus. Governments must recog-
nize the right of men to bargain
collectively for humane objects. =
Labor must no longer be treated as
commodity.
"The right of individuals to strike
| is inviolate," continued the message,
"and ought not to be interfered with
| by any process of government, but
there is a predominant right and that
| is the right of the government to por-
tect all of it's people and to assert its
power and majesty against the chal-
lenge of any class"
The president was referring to the
governments recent injunction
against the coal strike.

ITALIANS ARE LEAVING
U. S. in LARGE NUMBERS
Eighty Thousand Have Returned to
Home Land Since Jan. LIST. Ma
pies Now a Busy Port.

About $4,000 immigrants have re-
turned to Italy from the United States
through the port of Naples since Jan.
1st. The number is increasing month
by month, and with the recent re-
lease of ships hitherto requlsltloned
bv the allies it is estimated that 10,-
600 italians will greet Vesuvius again
every month.
The fortunes brought by the re-
turning Italians are gladly welcom-
ed by their relatives, many of whom
had been made needy by the war.
The prosperous appearance of the
passengers is generally commented
on. Their well-made clothing and
substantial baggage form a striking
contrast to the bags and rags in evi-
dence when emigrants leave italy for
America.

AlkaIi Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali, which
is very injurious, as it dries the
scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats the most ex-
pensive soaps or anything else all to
pieces. You can get this at any
drug store, and a few ounces will

Smith. Proposed legislation will
be discussed.
Campaign State Wide.
"a statewide campaign against the
social evil is now being outlined by
the Nebraska w. c. T. U. now that
prohibition is won," said DR.. Jennie
Callfas.
I'VE can now get behind the
movement to suppress vice and con-
centrate our energies on moral edu-
cation" said Mrs. H. G. Claggett,
Douglas county chairman.
1T is imperative that every mem
Der of the executive committee and
every departmental superintendent
should be present at the meeting
Tuesday" said Mrs. ]. A. Dalzeli.
Mrs. W. T, Graham, Mrs. H. N.
Craig, Mrs. William Berry, Mrs.
Mattson and Mrs. M. d. Vieno. are
other welfare workers interested in
Tuesdays meeting.
ITO close the city detention hos
pital would certainly be a backward
step" said Mrs. Claggett. "The
best way to treat fallen women is
on a custodial farm, away from city
influences. Lacking that, we women
shall stand behind any remedial
work that can be done, even if the
hospital inmates should be moved to
the new Jail addition" said Mrs.
Claggett.
Must Take Treatment.
There will always be complaints
from some of the patients where
ever they are treated against their
will, but treated they must be, even
against their will, for they are men
aces to the public health"
Something must be done Right
or wrong, we must act according o
our best Judgment" said Mrs. Dra-
per Smith, leader Of the program on
social hygiene for the, Woman's
club. one week from Monday.
All angles of the local situation,
bills pending in the legislature, and
government attempts to handle the
situation, will be discussed. DR..
Robert Leavens of the Unitarian
church, will talk on the local condi-
ton. Outside speakers, possibly
from Lincoln, will discuss other
phases.
1--WE need action" said MS.
Smith. I'VE can't afford to waste a
lot of time merely to discuss the
matter. Those women must be
cared for, and the state or city must
take the necessary steps, or legis,,--
ton, to do it. Organization of wo-
men, without funds. can do moth
ing"
1T isn't surprising that we laymen
don't, know what to do when medi-
cal men, themselves, do not agree
any more than they did in the 'hu'
situation" said Mrs. Smith.
