The Decline of the Whip Industry

 We had often wondered what the effect of the development of the automobile would have on the town of Wesfield Connecticut, the principal of the whip industry Though we had heard nothing of the decline of that industry there we had been in- formed that, possibly in expectation of demise Westfield had early got into the bicycle and motor cycle line; that it had developed paper mills, the manufacture of steam heating apparatus organs and thread. it has been busy attaching other strings to its bow as the whip making string became and more frayed.
 But think mistake Is being made in letting go of the whip making industry easily. There other for the whip than that of facilitating progress Of dilatory horses The whip might be still used to some advantage in discouraging the practice of /bicyclists catch automobiles for to the imminent risk of marring the highly pol ished lenders.
 There however. one obstacle to be overcome in effecting general of the whip for this bene cal purpose and that is in the circumstance that the automobile commanders the use of both hands of the driver. fact which Is established the only objection have heard urged against the mobile. The driver of machine is frequently placed in position in which he ought to have much liberty prizefghters allowed in clnches to hit with arm free.
 But that is objection which is easily and pleasantly met as have observed in driving along country roads in the vicinity of Phoenix at night and sometimes secluded. shaded city streets We have met or overtaken in the evening numberless automobiles in state of repose, the driver with both arms free and making of their temporary freedom.

A Rotten Mess

The shipping board has big job on its hands When it has completed 1t, let hear no more of Hercules achievement in the Augean stables. Nothing in America has ever been more rotten and complicated than the old shipping board mess It Is impossible that the result could have been brought by pure ignorance and incapacity All the men who are responsible for it had at least some standing as men of ability otherwise it does not appear how they could have been selected for such and gigantic task.
 Within week have been shown that the deficit in the operations the to s33s 1000. though the tangled books of the old board admitted 2 shortage of only little than $9o,000,00o, which in itself seemed inexpcable and inexcusable. The hoard must have been the open door through which a horde of grafters admitted to the treasury.
 Now we have the disclosure that that old board bsd allowed rental ships leased to single firm to accumulate to the amount s4o0O00; that the board neglected to enforce obligations Chat is had mani- fested ,,nvillin gness") amounting s5,0O000O for conditioning these ships which had been leased on . hare boat basis That s500o000 absolutely nresented to the lessee and cannot be recovered.
 The new board only touched the surface of this +,n1in4 mess What else may be discovered the stems in the process by which this amazing deficit of
 third of billion dollars created, we can hardly conjecture.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Seme- time before the present congress ex- hires. the house, with the concurrence of the senate, must pass a law oe- ternining what its own size Is to De for the next 10 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 so many angles that the census commit tee of the house, charged with the responsibility of formulating the measure, is having a hard time of it. There has been a great deal of senti- ment manifested against the appor- tionment of representatives so that any states would lose any of the seats it now holds in the house of represen- tatives. Then there is brought for ward the argument that the present size of the house, 435 members, makes efficient legislative work harder than if there were approximately 300 rep resentatives.
 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 o: the last decennial census, while there would be corresponding gains in oth- CT states.
 Members of the census committed of the house realize that the work they have before them ought to be out of the way as soon Is possible as the outlining of congressional dis tricts under the new apportionment must be made by the various state legislatures.
 The measure introduced in the house last session by Chairman Sic gel, the New York representative a the head of the census committee

THE. SIZE OF THE HOUSE

provided for fixing the size of the house for the next 10 years, when a new census will be taken, at 4S3 mem bers. Government statisticians worked out tables for the committee which showed that this number was the lowest at which no state would lose any of its house seats, while 25 states would gain one or more mem bers.
 For a house membership of 493, as proposed, representation from each state would be one member of con- gress for every 21s,9S6 people, and for each major fraction of that number. For instance, a state with a popula- ton of 54O,000 souls would have two representatives in congress. while a state with a population of but 32s,oOo would have two also. The two rep resentatives from the larger state would account for 437,9T2 of its peo- pie, and the rest of it's population would be but 102, OPS people, less than half of the 21S.9S6 persons used as unit. In the case of the smaller state. however. one representative would be sent to Washington to rep resent 21S.9S6 of the people of his state. which would leave 110,014. As this number is a major fraction ot 21S,9S6. another representative would be allotted 10 the state.
 States That Would Gain
 Under the proposal that the mem- bership be increased to 4SS, Califor- nia would be the chief beneficiary gaining five seats and increasing its representa- tion to Is members. Foul seats would be gained by Michigan
 New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania Three seats would be gained by Hi nois and Texas, and Massachusetts New Jersey and North Carolina eacf would gain two seats. The states which would gain one seat are Ala | bama. Arkansas. Connecticut, Geor- gia. Maryland, Minnesota, New Mex | ico, Oklahoma, Oregon. South Caro- | lina, Tennessee, Virginia, Washing
