TWO LARGE MOVES
, - TO BE MADE SOON
When Apportionment Comes Under
New Census Figures Republi-
cans Will Try to Reouce.

Washington, May 2s.-Two big
and interesting political moves are in
contemplation by the majority OF
congress within the near future, this
majority now being of the Republi'
can persuasion.
One of these has in mind the cut
ting down by the senate OF practical
" all committees, which are under
the control of the minority, so that
there will be only working commit
tees, as now constituted under Re-
publican control, remaining.
The house and senate are full of
committees-just how many of them
regular, irregular, special, standing,
sitting and other kinds no man under
the blue canopy of heaven could pos
sibly tell-and with the exception of
about six in the senate and an equal
number in the house, some of them
except to give somebody a chairman

that goes with it are funt1onless and

many which are said to have no reg.

Mail Steamship Company, was

night. This company is backed by

on call of it's chairman.
Strictly speaking there are about
60 committees in the house and an
equal number in the senate. At pres
ent with the Republicans in power,
they hold all the good places and
only give the Democtats-the minor
ity-such assignments as amount to
little but patronage distribution and
the employment of secretaries and
clerks.
1t is now proposed to cut out all
these functionless committees, and If
this is done the Democratic clerks
and other attaches would, of course,
lose their sinecure jobs around the
capitol.
Of course, even from a Democratic
standpoint, it might be a good thing
to do away with these committees
which in many instances are avowed-
ly for the purpose of supplying jobs
for worthy constituents, if, thereby
these salaries might be saved. Say,
for instance, if so such COMMITTEES
should be eliminated eacn at a use
less cost of $4,000 each, a consider
able amount would be saved.
However, the minority, now the
Democratic element, does not ap-
prove of this plan and good sized

FLIMY, FLOATY, FROCKS

New York Times.
Summer dresses for evening have
something quite new about them.
They have discarded the heavily
beaded and brocaded and velvet ef-
fects of past winter and are
chiefly. notable for the airiness OF
their charm. They look as though
they might be made of mist rather
than of substantial materials GER
tain to stand the test of a number
of wearings. Chiffon is the favored
material chiffon in such
colors! They can hardly be called
colors; indeed they are mere
tints-only suggestions Of color
made more illusory because of the
filmy ways in which they are drap-
ed and hung together. 1t takes
really artistic work to fashion one
of these evening gowns, for all tn
charm lies in the way the folds are
placed in the draping of the filmy
layers of sheer material. I
Sometimes the palest of pears or
string of rinestones are combined
with these chiffon evening frocks tt
give them more of sparkle or en-
phasize the delicacy of their con-
struction. Sometimes also touches
of hand made flowers are worked
discreetly into the design of the
frock.>
Lace is also used to advantage in
the designing of these newer
evening gowns. And it is the real
lace, too, for with delicately color
er chiffons it loses none of it's eft
feet. There are panels of the heavi-
er variety; there are tiny capes
and whole bodices made from it. In
fact, it has been used in every con-
ceivable way on summer evening
gowns, and it can most properly be
called the most favored trimming
of the season, if the half of a gown
can be referred to as trimming.
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1920-06-02


Another interesting political move
which is certain to bring out much
sectional feeling is the reapportion-
ment bill which must come up in con
gress and be acted upon in the very
near future.
There is considerable misapprehen-
sion concerning the manner IN which
the reapportionment bill and the
method of determining the. number Of
members of congress is flxeo.
Every ten years congress must
pass such a bill. When the last bill
was passed it was agreed that the
number of people in eacn congress
sional district should be, so Tar as
possible, III, 1,436, and now it will
soon be time to consider the matter
again.
The new census will undoubtedly
make it necessary either 20 add a
number of members to the house or
if this is to be prevented then COIL
gress, at an early date, pass law so
cutting down the number in the
house by increasing the number of
people in each district so that there
shall be no new members.
After congress passes it's reappor-
tionment bill then the states deter
mine each for themselves how many
districts there shall be ano arrange
their geographical lines. And right
here is shown much interesting geo.
graphical history. Many states have
been "shoestringed" from rlme to
time to meet the political exigencies
of the day, according to what party
Republican or Democratic-hap
pened to be in power at the time
Sometimes it is desirable to place al
the voters of one party either in one
district so that their activities may
be confined to that area, while, on
the other hand, it has not infre-
quently been, found expedient to
scatter them. These terms are vari
ously sometimes vne word
"shoestring" being preferable to
"gerrymander" which is another one
often, resorted to in such cases.
There are manifestations that when
congress takes up the bill to fix its
apportionment there is certain to be
much interesting discussion. A
glance at the personnel of the COM
mittees already justifes such con-
clusion.
The house census, committee is now
without chairman, but it is not i'm
probable that the reapport1onment
bill will be under the supervision OF
Langley, Republican, OF Kentucky.
The Southern Republicans would not
in the least regret seeing their Dem
ocratiA> brethren cut off the lists.
