WE ALL KNOW HIM

Here is something you might stick
in your hatband: "If I owned a
newspaper, what I would say in 1t
just now would be plenty re-
marked a man the other day.
He was invited to write what he
wanted to say with the assurance
that it would be printed if his sig
nature accompanied it.
He very promptly denied the
tender, remarking that ut would
hurt his business" There are lot
of people willing, anxious in fact,
for things to be said in the news
papers providing they hurt the bust
ness of somebody else and not their
own.
What newspaper has not had this
very same experience with this very
same yellow tadpole of citizen who
sputters and sputters about what
ought to be printed in newspaper
and what ought to be omitted? And
yet when you invite the coward to
be responsible for the manuscript he
wants you to publish, he will whine
like a sick dog, skulk behind this
pretext and that and wobbles out of
the office with grouch.-Leader,
Langdon, Kan.

Attention was directed to thu
problem facing the house by 4 reso
luton introduced by Representative
Pou, Democrat, Of North Carolina
Mr.. Pou proposes that the specia
seats and individual desks for Nom
bers be reinstalled.
| A special committee was author
lied several years ago to work on
this matter, but nothing has been
done as yet. Champ Clark explained
that the failure Of the commission IL
complete its work is due to the fact
that it was found it would take sew
en- months to remodel the chamber
after the material had been assem-
bled. As congress has been in al
most continuous session since the
election of President Taft in 1908,
there has been no time for this work.
Mr.. Clark is in favor of tearing
out the wall back of the speakers
desk, doing away with the speaker
lobby and extending the chamber
through to the outer wall. In this
way means of bringing fresh air d.
rectly into the chamber would be
provided. This change also would
afford more room for the galleries.
The effect of a reduction in the
membership of the house would be
that the members would have larger
districts, with more constituents to
look out for and more patronage to
handle.
Further discussing the reaportion-
ment proposition, Champ Clark
pointed out:
THE last time the membership
was increased by forty-four. and one
of the strangest facts in history, was
that the great agricultural states of
Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky.
Tennessee, Mississippi. Missouri,
Kansas and Nebraska never gained
enough population under that census
to get any OF the new members. 1t
is a fact we'll worth the thought OF
congress as to how the very heart
of the continent is developing"
The estimated increase of sixty
nine members of the house Is divid
ed among the following states:
Alabama, 2; Arkansas, 2; Cali
fornia, 4; Colorado, /; Connecticut,

CENSUS WILL ADD
REPRESENTATIVES
Quarters in Congress
y. Crowded Now-Lead-
ers Fear Jam

WASHINGTON.--One Of the lives
topics Of discussion among leaders
In congress nowadays is whether o,
not the membership Of the house o.
representatives shall be enlarged II
proportion to the increase in popu
lation % shown by the new census
This problem has been confronted
every ten years since 1890 and In
every instance, except after the 1870
census, the membership has In.
creased. In that year the number Of
representatives was reduced at the
insistence of the senate from 242 to
232.
Forty-four new members were
added after the 1910 census, making
the present membership 435. The
increase In population indicated by
the census returns thus far comput-
ed. 1t is estimated, will require the
addition of sixty-nine members from
thirty-three states IL the present fig
ures Of 1890 residents for each
congressional district are retained.
This increase would bring the total
membership Of the house up to 504.
And therein is the problem over
which leaders are scratching. their
heads. The present membership Of
the house, in the opinion of many Of
the old-time congressman, is I'M
wieldy and cumbersome and makes
against expeditions and efficient leg
islation. Aside from this phase of
the situation, there is not sufficient
space to accommodate another large
increase in membership.
To make room for the forty-four
members added after the 1910 GEN.
sus 1t was found necessary to take
out the individual desks for the
members. The consequent lack Of
a special seat with desk in which
to keep books and papers causes Sc
rious inconvenience to the represen-
tatives and, in addition, detracts
detracts from the dignity of the
house, in the opinion Of many.
But there is a growing sentiment
against the decennial increase in the
size of the house. Former Speaker
Champ Clark, now Democratic floor
leader, is very emphatic on this
point. He said:
II do not have any doubt about
what ought to be done about the size
of the house. 1t is too big. There
ought to be a constitutional amend
ment passed fixing the number of
members at 800, or thereabo and
keeping it there"
Mr.. Clark's attitude in this con-
nection has been generally approved
by other members of the house. Rep
resentative Campbell of Kansas,
chairman of the rules committee,
recalled that ten years ago he initial
ed movement to have the house
membership restricted to 225.
Representative Fess of Ohio,
chairman Of the Republican congress
sional campaign committee, also en-
dorsed Mr.. Clarke's sentiments. He
said
1.-The solution is to fix the number
in the constitution; otherwise we
will have this matter argued every
ten years."
"a large part of the present dis
'cussion turns on structural changes
which will have to be made in the
capitol in the event that the indi-

ship is provided for. More room
must be provided in the house cham
Der, and while this is being done ad-
vantage will be taken to provide bet
ter light and ventilation. The house
chamber is now an INSIDE room,
