The Size of Congress

We believe the people would rather the basis of representation in the lower house of congress raised than see the membership increased to 4SS it would be by census figures and the present basis of representation.
 In order to prevent the house from becoming unwiedy the basis has been raised from time time The first basis was SO,ooO which gave the house membership 65. Though the basis was frequently changed until in 1910 present one was adopted, 212,4O7, giving the house its present membership of 435. Even that is too large a number. very large part of the house is composed of figure heads. The actual work is done and the policies are formed and developed by com paratively few whose first business is to dis cipne and put fear the hearts of the majority to keep it tractabe.
 It must appear that in order that a member of the house may be useful his constituents that is if he has it in him to be useful it matters less the number of his constituents than the area of the territory in which they resdethat is the size and character of the congressional districts If the mem Der represents agricultural district the interests of his constituents ae much the same. though they number s0oOo or So0,OOO; it is with an industrial district commercial mining district.
 It would therefore that we could have some better basis of apportionment than population which though the it appears fair is really not fair when applied areas embracing diversified industries and independent if conflicting in terests.
 The more sparsey settled regions of the country, the great west with its diversified industries stock raising mining and agriculture with a population scattered over area of 100000 or more square miles as in Arizona, should be under the same rule that applies to equal population practical ly one interest, confined within an area of few square miles at most, few hundred square miles
 We confess we do not know what other system of apportionment could be used that would not be dlscriminatory' though the discrimination might really be harmful to any section of the country But the thing we aiming at is that we have reached
 point of saturation in house of representatives,: that its membership should never again be increased in consequence of an increase of population

Why It Was Restored

Those who opposed the restoration of the War Finance Corporation, which plainly intended to aid those who had meen hurt in the process of readtustment-the agricultural interests which suffering in every part of the country failed to the real purpose legislation. The farmers and toclrasers and allied agricultural interests realized less from the golden flood which the brought to American industry and they the first to feel the depression eft by the flood when it receded.
 There were two classes of opponents of the bill it had passed-those who favored blanket restora- ton and those who opposed any restoration on the eound that there existed already private agencies to promote foreign trade without government inter- ference
 At that time there had lately been held in Chicago n meeting Of bankers and exporters, and plans made for s1OOooOooo corporation authorized by the rdpo law, to do as was then stated what it ,ronosed Inc War Finance Corporation would if revived. But the bankers and promoters missed the rrpose of the proposed legislation which was not ex
 ,ivelv to raise funds to be put at the disposal of s,roig, purchasers through the sale of public curitios.
 Much was made there and elsewhere of the fact ,bo+ !, strong current of public sentiment run
 n, counter to the extension of government activity
 and if was pointed out that congress had already done what it could do to destroy the war powers of the ,osi5ent and to free industry from government in terferenoe.

 Inefficient policing is without excuse. The com niunity stands. believe back of every proposal calculated to strengthen the department in its ef- fort to maintain order insure a reasonable measure of safety citizens efficient policing ia not enough long experience here elsewhere amply If leniency is be the guiding prin- cp in dspensaton of justice the best efforts of the best police system in the world will be brought to naugN.
 The result desire will be achieved with out the fullest cooperation on the part of police prosecutors and judges. We do not confne our ob- servations this point to dealing with majot crimes but we include the treatment of all crimes against tho laws and ordinances, for major crimes are sell dom committed until the criminal has graduated from the field of minor crimes.
 The law abiding. law respecting element in the community constitutes the overwhelming majority. The murderers, real and potential the bandits, the thugs and rowdies-socal parasites all-are an in- significant minority of the population. It is ridcu- lous to believe that the minority can continue to terrorize community unless the community prefers 10 be terrorzed rather than the effort nec- essary to suppress the offenders.
 Here elsewhere the prevalence of crimes of violence constitutes striking indictment of ju- dieial lenieney The suspended sentence has cost many citizen his life savings. An insufficient bail bond has led to many murder. Many desper- ate criminal has paroled to engage anew in his career of lawlessness.
 Mere spasmodic effort on the part of any branch of the public service can not accomplish the desired results There must be daily steadfast attention to duty; an unremittng pursuit of law-breakers: an unbending sense of justice which recognizes public safety the paramount concern of the police. the prosecutors and the courts, We should not wait for crime waves but should control the situation that no wave can form. Those in control of the ma chnery of justice taught by constant nublic insistence that intermittent attention to dutv is not enough. Crooks succeed only through con- stan vigilance The on crooks will succeed only through like vigilance.
 There should be thorough round ,,n of all s,s picious characters in Phoenix The police sbould ascertain precisely how every unknown loafer about pool halls and similar places lives The inquiries they make in certain cases may seem impertinent and unwarranted. but nevertheless they should be made to the end that public safety may be secured by the driving out of the city, from whatever hole in which they be hiding the men whose presence IS menace to the safety of the law abiding

 Las Vegas, N. NJ, Jan. 20--At a ball given by the Mexicans of Las Mulas in this county Saturday night, eight Americans attended. A bitter feeling was engendered between the two na tionalities and a free fight took place. Doc Hodges and Frank Smith, two Americans, were murdered in cold blood. Hodges was shot twice in the head and once in the chest and his body snatched by the Mexicans. His remains were found the next day burned to a crisp. Smiths body was also carried off, being found the next day perforated with bullets and his skull crushed. OneMexican was killed and several wounded.

 Jan. 13, 1921. Mir. Dwight B. Heard.
 Phoenix, Ariz.
 Dear Mir. Heard:
 May I congratulate The Republican on its leading editorial of Sunday. Jan, g? It was sound and vigorous. Best of all, it made its point in arguing for a sane farm policy. I hope for continu- ance of an editorial policy in regard to farming as sane as the policy you have advocated-as sound as the thinking which inspired the editorial which has stated the principles which should continued to be advocated as long as men are tempted to depart from the ways of agricultural wisdom. 1 At this date it is useless to talk about what ought to have been done a l year ago-as useless as to "cry over do is to make such well-considered plans now that we shall be guarded against similar mistakes in the future. ! In particular, I wish to commend and support your plea to build plans for the future" on the basis of the ex- perience of the past. That experience teaches that risks should be distrib- luted. Cotton should be raised; but only in the rarest cases should any man plant more than half his acreage to cotton. I think you are right in saying that your regular farmers are more. competent than ever before. and are making more general application of improved cultural methods A way should be found to encourage the fir regular" farmers to learn and apply the same improved methods.
 I was especially pleased with the plea for planting ''every acre of good land with an assured water supply of course with the implication that it shall be planted appropriately. County Agent H. C. Heard is the man to give specific information in regard to kinds of crops and their relative acreage. Now is the time to make use Of his services and those of other men who have no special selfish interests to 7 serve.
 Again I thank you for your intelli- gent and vigorous advocacy of "a sane 5 farm policy
 Very truly yours. I D. W. WORKING. 0 IDWW:I Dean and Director.
