What Is a Congressman?
BY FREDERIC j. HASKIN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. SIS
a congressman a legislator, or is he
an errand boy, political agent, sight
seeing guide, employment bureau and
general adviser of the poor and needy?
If it be conceded that he is in
part a maker of laws, then how many
laws at one time is he supposed to
be able to consider and understand,
and from how many different points
of view is he supposed to be able to
consider and understand them?
These are questions that good
many congressman are asking them
selves. The number of things that a
congressman is nowadays called upon
to do, besides attending to legislation,
is enough to appall any strong man.
Besides that, consider the number of
laws to which he is expected to devote
his attention. The popular theory OF
government in this country is that II
there is anything the matter with any
thing or anybody, the remedy is to
pass a law about it. We have piled up
a mountain of laws, and each year the
mountain grows more than it grew
the year before. The faster it grows
the less consideration does each OF
the laws get The legislators who are
supposed to be carefully considering
these laws never heard of most OF
them.
Whittier does this process lead?
In devising the American govern
ment, it is highly probable that the
fathers of the country had no idea
of the way in which the functions OF
some of the officers of the government
would be expanded and degraded
They had the idea in their innocent
bewigged heads that congress would
meet once every year, each second
session being short one, and that
each congressman and senator would
devote himself to making laws. Some
cynical present-day members OF con
gress suggest that these wise ole
statesmen intended that congress-
should meet to prevent laws from be
ing enacted-at least too many o.
them. If this was their purpose, theil
successors nthe halls of the nationa
legislature have failed miserably.

have fallen into the habit of using
for every errand and favor they can
think up to ask him. The volume of
law enactment takes so much time
and has grown to such proportions,
too, that rarely indeed can a member
find time to devote to any private
business or enterprise. The long adj
journment of congress from March
until the first Monday in December
is an almost forgotten thing In the
rush of present day affairs and for
many years past it has almost always
been necessary for the president to
assemble the congress in extraordin-
airy session to take up urgent matters
which would not wait. In the midst of
this rush, the members of the house
have to keep in touch with affairs in
their home districts in order that
they may keep their jobs, as election
day for them comes every two years.
Particularly at this time. with the
inauguration of a Republican regime
after eight years of Democratic ad-
ministration, there is terrific amount
of additional pressure on every mem.
Der of congress. Constituents, usually
always lifelong Republicans" are
seeking to dislodge the Democrats
holding governmental offices and take
the position themselves. The jobs for
the most part are in the hands of the
executive departments, there are usu
ally many applicants for each one, and
thus the congressman is caught in the
jam between the job and the appli
cant, with little patience exhibited by
the earnest seeker for a place on the
federal payroll if there is any delay
or failure on the part of his congress
man in landing him there.

must leave, and calling upon the man
they elected as their representative
to sit down and map out an entertain
ing and instructive visit for them
while at the nations capital.
A state of mind of the nation has
come to add still further burdens to
the bending shoulders of the average
member of congress. The need for
rapidly enacted legislation OF all
kinds during the war resulted in build
ing up the conviction in many Sec
tons of the country that there is a
cied evil that exists In hard times.
the naive suggestion that law be
passed to print more paper money is
not unknown. Fanatics of all sorts
pour incessant pleas upon congress
for this or that drastic law enactment,
dolefully foretelling the ruin of the
nation if their demands are not heed
ed forthwith.
This year all of this is taking place
in the midst of the important legisla-
tion which invariably follows change
in the political complexion of the
party in power. The tariff is being
changed, and the tax bill is being re
vised. This means that every kind OF
business being carried on in the coun.
try wants to have its particular stu
alton placed before congress, either
with the plea that the raw materials
essential to it shall be admitted to the
country free of import duty, or that
the finished product from foreign firms
shall be excluded by tariff wall In
the matter of taxes, it is but natural
that every kind of business should
seek legislation favorable to itself, and
this year has been no exception. When
it is considered that congress will be
held responsible in large part for any
degree of failure in the government
economy efforts, and that primary
elections are impending in many states
it becomes difficult to believe that the
berth of a duly elected member o.
congress is anything remotely suggest
ing a bed of roses.

resenting a city district. In many in
stances it is safe to say that very
many city voters have no remote idea
of the name of the man they sent to
Washington to represent their district
in congress. A great many do not
even know the district in which they
live. A man gets a package of gar
den seeds sent to him from Washing
ton and in rare cases may note the
name of the congressman up in the
corner of the envelope, which serves
in lieu of a stamp. This man often
is loud in denouncing congress for
wasting time and money and charging
it with inefficiency in the conduct or
the nations business, but he doesn't
take enough real interest in the mat
ter to know who he voted for if he
did vote.
If it should happen that this man
wants something, though, he makes
haste to find out his congressman s
name, and writes to him as one of his
ardent supporters, demanding this or
that favor as a return for his support.
He may want a job as consul at some
remote point he has heard of, he may
want to be postman, or he may de-
sire to come to Washington to lend
his expert hand to the direction of
the affairs of state.
The man in congress having dis
trict which is not just a section of a
large city gets continual lombard
ment however The people in his
district know who he is, and use their
knowledge to the utmost. They make
demands upon him by mail for every
thing under the sun, seeking political
preferment, flower seeds, business adj
vantages, passports, almost every
thing else that can be imagined.
The mail deluge is sufficiently try
| ing. but often these constituents come
