Submission of Abstracts and
General Debate on the
Floor Suggested as Cure

10 tho Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The prevailing opinion with
reference to the committee system in
the House of Representatives is that
while it may be less than perfect. it
is vet the best we can do if we wish
4o preserve our democracy. I ques-
ton whether this is the right attitude
for a resourceful people to take. II
ve admit that our machinery Of gov
ernment is defective, why not make
the necessary effort to correct it?
1t is not practicable nor desirable
that the committee system be dispensed
with. In fact, any essential change in
its workings is scarcely possible, un-
less we at the same time reduce the
House to about one-half of the pres
ent number. But if this reduction can
be brought about it will be possible
then to effect a change that will make
for great improvement.
The most imperative change is one
that will make the committees subord-
mate to the House as a whole in all
matters of legislation. This can be
accomplished by the adoption OF the
following rule:
Every bill proposed by a member of
the House shall be accompanied by an
abstract setting forth the general fea-
lures and object of the bill. This alb
.stract shall be read at the time of the
introduction of the bill and shall be-
come the subject of debate by the
House sitting as a committee of the
whole. A vote favorable to the prin-
.ciple and purpose of the bill shall be
taken by the committee of the whole
before the bill can be referred to a
special committee for the consideration
of details.
The adoption of this ruling woulc
make the House a real legislative body
1t would no longer be subordinate il
Importance to it's own committees.
But there would be other benefits:
l. 1t would work automatically tt
eliminate thousands of useless ane
me-wasting bills.
2. The preliminary debate on mat
sters of governmental policy aud pur
pose would appeal strongly to the pub
lic and, public opinion once at work
the standard of legislation would sure
ily rise.

rected, and adult labor standardized by
Federal control law.
The best plan that we have hit upon
is putting our national house in
order" which means-hrst. assuring
ourselves that we are going to elect
men and women who will enforce the
law. Of the 4,500 planks submitted, we
learn to-day Americanization, with GER
tain subjects which could be incor-
porated in its tenets should be our
first plank.
Shall we not as Americans define
what is assimilable, preferably by
localities such as municipalities and
districts, and then by states? calling

To the Editor of the Tribune.
Sir: All the public works functions
OF the Federal government should be
combined in national department of
public works.
1t is the fault of nobody in particu-
lar that Uncle Sans great workshop
has grown to be unwieldy and ex-
travagant in operation. AS now hu-
reaus have been found necessary. the y
have been tackled on, until the timo has
come when system should be inaugu-

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The labor question is undoubt-

publican party will have to face.
I advocate a law making it compul-
sorry for each employer to have at least
two men representing his interests
meet at least once a month with men
chosen by his employees to adjust diff
ferences that may arise between them
If any question arises that they can
not settle, let them agree on a fifth

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The plan to establish national
department of public works commends
Itself to those who are interested in
government efficiency.
!. Each class of Federal public works
fs handled in from FIVE to twenty seven
bureaus. Suppose Oklahoma City were
to cut her waterworks system into
twenty-five separate divisions, one divi-
: sion to be upder the city librarian.
one division under the chief of detec-
ssves, one division under the scavengcr
and so on.
Then suppos our street cleaning
and sewers were similarly divided
And placed under twenty-five different
heads, none OF them having any def
mite authority. There would be COM
plications, Implications. lack of system
and naturally gross extravaganza. The
moral is obvious.

HOLD ELLIS TO ANSWER BEFORE
 HIGHER COURT.
Man Accused of Attack on Woman Bound Over;
 Bail $2500

After Q preliminary hearing yester- day afternoon before Judge J. l.. Win ters, in the local justice court, William Ellis, driver of a rent car, charged by Mrs. Elizabeth Towering with at tempted criminal assault, was held to answer before the superior court on $25Q0 bail.
 The hearing was marked by the ef- forts of s. K. Williams. attorney for the defense, to discredit testimony of the prosecuting witness.
 Mrs. Towering was put on the stand first. Under examination by J. D. Bauer, representing the county at torney's office, she said that she left her work in the Liberty Bell cafe, where she is employed as waitress, at about 4:15 o'clock Thursday morn ing. She was walking home, she said, and had reached a point opposite the Palace undertaking parlors, on Main street, when Ellis came along in a car and offered to take her home, saying that he had to go up Tombstone can yon to get man. AS there were no street cars running at that time Mrs. Towering said she accepted the offer.
  posite her home in Wood canyon, Mrs. Towering said that she requested FL lis to stop and let her out. Instead of doing so, she said, he went on up the divide at high speed. She remon- strated with him all the way, begging him to let her out. Near the top of the divide, according to the witness, Ellis turned the car around and turned out the lights.
 The alleged attempted assault, ac- cording to the witness, occurred at this point After she was dragged out of the car to the ground, Mrs. Bower ing said, she was saved by the arrival of three Mexicans in a wagon, when Ellis let her go.
 s. K. Williams, attorney for the de- fense, objected to practically every question the prosecution asked the witness. His objections were almost referred to the ride up the divide as a '.joyride."
 'Is it not true that you asked the defendant to take you for little ride up the hill?" he asked.
 Did you not tell the defendant that your husband left you six months ago and invite him to come to the house to see you?"
 To these and other questions the witness answered in the negative.
 To Mexicans, George Valenzuela and Gregorio Varela, were put on the stand and testified to having seen Mrs. Towering on the divide and hay ing been asked by her for help. They were unable to identify Ellis as the man they saw there on account of the darkness. They said that they showed Mrs. Towering a path through the brush by which she could reach her home without going back down the road.
 Constable Sheppard testified to go- ing to the scene of the alleged crime the same morning with Mrs. Bower ing. Here, he said, he found a but ton torn from her coat and a lead pencil. Later he arrested Ellis. hay ing identified the car by the tracks in the road. Under another cushion in the car he found another button from Mrs. Coverings coat.
 Ellis was silent throughout the pro ceedings, his counsel refusing to put him on the stand.

 Cut graphfruit in small pieces. To do this I cut the fruit as for break. fast and scoop out each partition with stiff spoon. There is little danger of getting any of the tough bitter parts this way and when the fruit is to be used in small pieces it's much easier than trying to separate the sections. Mix all ingredients and let stand for 10 or 15 minutes. Then add mayonnaise. Serve on lettuce.
