VIVID DEMONSTRATION OF
 ECONOMICAL PROCEDURE

Washington, February 8.-(SpeciaL)- The republicans of the House gave a vivid demonstration Saturday of eco- nomical procedure.
 Two years ago Mir. McI4ane a demo- crat, was elected over MT. Farr, a re- publican, in a normally republican dis trict of Pennsylvania.
 MT. Farr contested the election nat urally. The contest extended itself through two-year period Then the res publicans did the natural thing. They upseated McLane and seated Farr. Mc- Lane, having drawn his pay for two yeGrs, loses only the wage of six days. Farr, at the same time, is authorized to rape the treasury in sum approximat- ing s21,0O0.
 similar stunt was pulled a few years ago when the republicans unseated MT. Weaver, North Carolina democrat. and seated MT. Britt. The decision cost Weaver nothing, and enriched Britt by about S2O00o
