REDUCE IT, RATHER THAN ENLARGE IT.

1T IS gratifying the people Of the United States to
that the bill increasing the size OF the national
Representatives from 49, its present size to i6O
members has been recommtted to committee by vote
OF ii6 TO t42
For many years there has been widespread complaint
in this country that the House is too large and that its
proper fnconng has been impaired by its unwieldness.
That being the state OF the public mind II is difout q
why il2 members should TO make II still
unwiedly body and. at the time, increase the
taxpayers burden by sis7OO year in salaries 10 the
Representatives alone without counting those TO be paid
their clerks and messengers and also without counting
mileage allowances. Taking all things into account the
change proposed would increase the annual expenditure

Of the fundamental policies Of the Republican admnstrs-
tion.
II the composition OF the House is to be revised, that
revision should be downward. and not upward
It should aim to produce quality rather than quantity
in the lower branch OF Congress
And under circumstance should it contemplate any
increase Of the burden OF taxation that borne by
