Home Problem of Members.

F1OW0 pF0plem OF meU1b0r0s
One Of congresman's little troubles
is the home problem, getting house
to live in. Washington is the highest
priced city in the country. Property
and rents are high. If man is there
alone he can live at hotel. II he has
a family he must have house or an
apartment. The hetels are high priced.
The houses and fats are out of sight.
What members pay for houses Of
course depends upon what they get
and want to pay. Several members
pay $500 year rent, and quite a
number pay from 5000 to $1,000. OF
course they do not live on their
salaries. They get something from
back home. The members who try
to live on their salaries, or nearly so.
pay from $3.50 to $3.50 a month for
a furnished house. And you don't
get as much in Washington for $500
month as you can get in Colorado
cities for $50.
Within the moderate prices. houses
are very hard to get and usually un-
desirable. Most residence property In
Washington is built In r0ws-houses
In solid blocks like store buildings.
They are usually II to 20 feet wide,
three stories high with three rooms on
each floor, windows only in front and
back, a front yard 10 or II feet deep.

The highest honor Nebraska could

to Lange also. He was chosen by the
state commander of the American Le-
gion to officially represent Nebraska

the Unknown Soldier" The Distin-
guished Service cross, bestowed person
ally by General Pershing, the Croix de
Guerre with palms and the knowledge
that he carried Merle Hay from the
trenches are other things that remind
Lange of his war service. Hay was
the first Iowa boy killed in the war
and one of the first three American
boys to die in action.

FOUGHT IN THE WAR OF 1912
Graves Of 21e Americans, Enemies Of
England, Decorated at Princeton
for First Time.

A half century after the origination
Of memorial, or decoration day, on
which tribute is paid to those who
have died in the nations wars, the
graves Of 218 Americans who fought
In the War Of 1872 were decorated for
the first time last Memorial day.
At Princeton. England. there are the
graves of 218 Americans who died
while held prisoners of war in Dart
moor prison. The parish church in
the little village of Princeton was built
by the labor Of these and number of
French prisoners.
For many years the sod which COW
cred the remains of these sons of
America was unmarked. Finally one
Of the governors Of the prison had a
cafrn and monument erected to mark
the resting place Of England's worthy
enemies. Their graves. however, had
never been decorated in the manner In
which the graves Of other American
heroes are decorated until the London
post Of the American Legion placed q
large wreath over their resting place
on last Memorial day.
On the same day that the graves Of

But when the drill is over then the cor.

Oh, ia like to be a corpril-but I'd rather

economical tendency Of congress is
shown. as the day set is always Sum
day when other business is not up for
consideration. The speeches deliv-
cred on this occasion are published in
the Congressional Record, and little
booklet containing them is made up,
each member being given q few
copies.

one of these memorials for a gentle
man in Pueblo. It was the memorial
address on the life and character. Of
James N. Burns of Missouri, delivered
February %, 1889. A.Shough this was

note how many gentlemen spoke on

addresses are notable examples Of elo-
quence. Ex-Speaker Henderson, Dock

There are many deaths in congress.
I am told about eighteen year, and
the flag on the house Office building
flies at half-mast good deal Of the
time.
In the present congress there have
been twelve deaths and it is only
about half over, They are as follows: {:
Fred L. Blackmon of Alabama, Sam
uel n. Taylor of Arkansas, John A.
Elston Of California, William E. Ma
son Of Illinois, William H. Frankhau-
ser Of Michigan, Charles f. Van de
Water Of California, Henry D. Flood
Of Virginia, Prince ]. Kuhio Kalania-
naole Of Hawaii, Lucian w. Parrish
Of Texas and Samuel NJ. Brinson Of
North Carolina.
Two Of these members committed
suicide and two were killed in auto
mobile accidents.
Over in the senate when death oc.
ours the governor Of the state appoints
senator to fill the vacancy until the
next regular state election. A consti.
tutional amendment has been suggest
ed to provide that vacancies in the
house should be filled in like manner.
Such an arrangement would save the
states much money which special cleo.

hong been controlling factor In many
things in the house of representatives.
suppose it has always been so more
or less, and 1t is little more so now
than formerly, IL possible.
A member gets his Office room in the
house Office building, his seat at COM
tee, his craftsmanship Of committee,
his place as q conferee on conference
committees Of the house and senate,
and many other little favors and big
opportunities for influence through
seniority.
There was time when the speaker
had some choice in fixing up commit
tees and chairmanships. You heard
Uncle Joe Cannon roundly ''cussed"
about his exercise Of that privilege a
few years ago. Even then most Of
the chairmen were selected because
they had served longest on the COM
mtttees. But the speaker had some
latitude and he did make some indie
pendent appointments in an effort to
put the best qualified man in the
place. And often such appointment
raised Cain. About twelve years ago
there was revolution, Uncle Joe was
defeated for speaker, new rules were
adopted. Committee assignments are
now made by a large committee on
committees and the seniority rule is
closely adhered to. There has been
&ut one notable exception in years.
The present chairman Of appropria-
tions was not the high man but the
second high man on the list.
Chairrnen Of committees have much
power and influence in directing legis-
lation. They can help write legisla-
tion, help push 1t through the commit
tee or hold it back. They have charge
of 1t on the floor. Many bills pass the
house in one form and the senate in
another. If one house refuses to ac-
cept the amendments Of the other, the
bill is sent to conference. Conference
committees include three or flve men,
bers from each house. The house con.
ferees now usually consist Of two
Republicans and one Democrat or
three Republicans and two Democrats
who have served longest ON the COM
snittee. These conferees get together
and agree to anything they can and
report their findings back. These re
ports are usually accepted by both
houses.
The seniority rule has been much
criticized, and there is room for criti-
cism. But there Is something to be
said for 1t. Chairmen have the ad.
vantage of long experience on their
committees. If they are not dubs they
must have learned much about the
business in hand, and usually dubs do
not remain long in congress. Any
other method Of selection would start
1og-rolling, build up machinery and
factions and breed strife and trouble.
The old members are for the senior.
ity rule. and while the new members
may be critical. I rather fancy we will
never get far away from It.
However, after all is said, 1t does
sometimes appear that seniority and
long service have more influence and
power in the house Of Representatives
than brilliancy and ability.
