Washington, D. c., July ls.-Some-
time before the present congress eN-
pires the house. with the concurrence
mining what its own size is to be for
the next ten years. an effort was
made to get this business out OF the
way during the CLOSING days of the last
session, but the senate refused to pass
the measure which had been adopted
by the house.
The fight on this legislation has Sc
many angles that the Census commit
tee of the house. charged with the re-
sponsibility of formulating the mea
sure. is having hard time of it. There
has been a great deal OF sentiment
of representatives so that any state
would lose any OF the seats it now
holds in the house of representatives.
Then there Is brought forward the
argument that the present size of the
house, 455 members, makes efficient
legislative work harder than If there
were approximately 800 representa-
tives.
Another view strongly supported,
would limit the number of members OF
the house to 435. and work out the new
apportionment on that basis. This was
strongly opposed on the ground that
some states would lose some OF their
seats. on the basis of the last decen-
NAL census. while there would be cor
responding gains in other states.
Members of the Census committee OF
the house realize that the work they
have before them ought to be out OF
the way as soon as possible. as the
outlining Of congressional districts
under the new apportionment must he
made by the various state legislatures
The measure introduced in the
house last session by Chairman Siegel

head Of the Census committee provided

next ten years, when a new sensus viii

When the report of tho Census com

Inc the last session. the committee
strongly urged that congress adopt a
constitutional amendment to limit the
size Of the house to not more than sNl

STANDARDIZED CITY PAY
ASKED BY RESEARCH BODY
Bureau Wants Council to Provide
Fund for Equalization

Standardization of city salaries to in
sure equal work for equal pay was
suggested today by the Bureau Of Mu-
nicipal Research, with a recommendation
that funds be given the Civil Service
Commission for that task.
The bureau, in it's weekly bulletin,
traced the slow Progress made toward
Standardization since 1914. Finally, in
1920, acting under mandate Of tho
New Charter, the Civil Service Com
mission undertook the work and made a
report which was ignored, the bureau
stated.
'In February Of this year." the bull
letin continued" the Mayor appointed
committee of his Cabinet to make rec
concentrations on the salary and wage
situation, but the work of this commit E
tee contributed nothing constructive.
Council itself disregardcd the commit
tees recommendations and tackled the
problem in its own way"

phia far more would be to have half
the taxes at whatever 1t costs to collect
them. The issue here is not matter
of bookkeeping. The issue Is clear cut.
1t is the elimination of the contractor
bosses from control Of the county Of
fees.
"The incumbent of the Office Of
Register of Willis has received $3.50, :
900 in fees over and above his salary. In
the absence of definite figures have
been told that that is the amount and 1t
never has been denied.
Nov IL those fees were not pocketed, /,
but were turned into the treasury where
they belong it would mean reduction
in taxes. And reduction in taxes
would mean reduction in rents. And
reduction in rents means reduction
in the drain on the pocketbooks of each
and every one of you. That Is good
Housekeeping. That is what we want in
the public Offices Of Philadelphia.
I'm contrast to the fee grabbing pro-
pensitics of the combine officerholders.
we have the Administration Of Mayor
Moore. He has made good beginning
in saving $3.50, 900 On the street clean
ing in two districts this year.
BY n little mental arithmetic, you
can figure easily what saving that
will mean in the city when all of the
streets are cleaned by the city forces "

Mr.. Graham urged upon the women
the necessity Of registering and asked
them TO do all in their power to get the
voters to the polls next Saturday to
have their names on the rolls of those
qualified to participate in the primary
on September 20.
Zone reason why the women are
not registering he said. "came to us
at the. Voters League yesterday. IL
seems that some of the women think
the empaneling Of juries. That is not
true. 1t is the assessors lists that
are 80 used. Each and every woman's
name in the city is on the assessor 9
lists or should be, as well as every
mans. You will not escape jury duty
by not registering" ~

Subsequently, the bureau said, Coun-
Gil held series Of public hearings on
the subject. The result was that mod
crate increases in pay were recommend
ed for 1910 low paid positions. The
necessary ordinance was adopted and
the increases became effective as Of Au
gust 1 Of this year.
In conclusion, the bureau declared
that the obvious next step is to give
the commission the funds it needs for
the purpose and then to refer the en- =
tire problem back TO the commission
for further report.

The town levy is the same as

Col. Sidney McLaurin, member
of the board of supervisors of
Beat 2, has offered to buy the
gravel and pay the freight on it
to the Brandon depot if citizens
living on and adjacent to the
Johns road would volunteer to
haul and spread it on the road.
This appears to The News as be-
ing a good proposition for the
people to get the worst places
graveled, especially near the
creek. 1t is of vital interest to the
business men of Brandon to have
this road graveled and made pass
able during the winter months,
and we believe that they will help
in this good work. Many of the
business men and citizens of Bran
don have no teams, but arrange
ments can be made with trucks to
haul a certain number of loads
and spread it upon the roads. This
help with the aid of the citizens
in that section of the county, the
task should be an easy one. Let
the citizens of that section and
the business men of Brandon get
busy at once and see that the road
is put in good condition for win
ter travel. The News will be glad
to do it's full share in this work.
Who will take the lead and see
that the work is begun at once?

Mr.. G. H. Webb, who lives near
Star, came to Brandon Monday to
settle with the tax collector. Mr..
Webb is in his 69th year and is
still hale and hearty, looking no
older than he did 20 years ago.
He reports the death of his son,
DR.. G.. l.. Webb, which occurred
at his home at Star, on Tuesday,
November, 1, 1921, after an illness
of long duration. DIR. Webb was
SO years of age and leaves a wife
and little son IL years old. His
remains were laid to rest in Wes-
leyana cemetary the following day
a, large concourse of sorrowing
friends and relatives gathered to
pay their last earthly tribute to
worthy young man.
J. E. Bonner, who has been here
for several weeks, temporarily re-
lieving Mr.. Burks of the position
of county agent, on account of the
latter's illness, left this week for
Marion county, where he has &C
copied similar work for next
year. Mr.. Burks, we are glad to
say has completely recovered
from his illness and resumes the
work of county agent this week.
Every man in Rankin county
knows and admires Mr.. Burks for
his many splendid qualities, which
enables him to accomplish great
deal for the farmers of this Sec

recovery and return to his work
will be received with great de-
