FILIBUSTERS

The Dyer anti-lynching bill which passed the
house some time ago was defeated in the senate by
what is described as the best organized hlibuster
in the history of the American congress. The sue
Guess of this tllibuster illustrates the manner IN
which a determined and well organized minority

Legislation and keep them blocked permanently. if

Parliamentary rules are supposed to be devised
for two main purposes, first to insure to the minor
|ity its right to be heard; second, to insure to the
majority its right to act. In our concern for the
rights of minorities we have overlooked the second
purpose of parliamentary rules and have left the
majority powerless to act except by permission OF
the minority.
Some years ago Senator Carter, OF Montana,
announced that it was his purpose to talk to death
a. rivers and harbors bill which was pending, and
which would certainly have been passed if the SEN
ate could have voted on it. The session was draw
ing to its close, and on the day before the official
closing date the Montana senator took the floor
and calmly declared that the pending bill should
not pass unless he dropped exhausted before closing
time. "And," he added, 81 am in pretty good health"
He. began to talk, and he talked hour after hour.
He told stories, he.repeated poetry, he read lengthy
extracts from articles which had no bearing on the
subject The day closed with the senator going
strong. Refreshed by a few hours sleep, he resum-
ed his remarks when the senate convened next dav.
He talked until closing time, and the bill was dead.
There was a very general opinion that that par
ticular bill contained 50 many vicious provisions that
it ought not to have passed. Hence there was very
general sympathy with the Montana senator in his
single-handed flibuster. AS a reward for his serv-
ices on that occasion President Mckinley appoint
ed, him to a federal office on the expiration Of his
term. But if the bill was a bad bill it ought to have
been defeated on a vote taken squarely on its merits.
And senator's should not have been relieved of the
responsibility Of voting for or against by the OBJ
|structiohary TACTICS Of one man. Similarly, after

been possible Tor the majority to force action on the
Dyer bill, accepting responsibility for whatever
action was taken.
The defeat 0f legislation by discretionary tao
tics is q thoroughly vicious practice. The senate
rules lend themselves to it more readily than dc
those Of the house. The rights Of minorities are to
be guarded, Of lcourse. But the, right Of the minor
ity is not impaired BY requiring it to get out of the
way after itthas had a reasonable opportunity to

The latter course will delay the

Practically the whole. town is

That was decided long time ago

The law requires that sewer

When the election was held last

Guided as it should have been.
Then bond attorneys suggested
trat to avoid delay the sewer funds
could be borrowed from the water
funds and that the town board could
issue water bonds without vote of
Il people in order to save time.
This, technically wrong, was APP
proved at public mass meeting
which WAS largely attended.
The plan then would have requir-
ed the whcle town to pay taxes on
about $4,000 for the construction
of n trunk line sewer and the assess
ment was to be made with property
values rather than area as n basis.
This plan let the acreage off light

TAR AND FEATHERS THREAT
AGAINST TOWN TRUSTEES
Attorney Campbell Suggests Ku Klux Klan
Method Of Settling Sewer Controversy
and Sanitation Of Arvada Faces De-
lay For Another Year.

Tar and feathers and strong
rope applied to members of the
Arvada town board in Ku Klux Klan
fashion were among the suggestions
made by Attorney George Campbell
at the meeting of the board held
Monday night.
1t was by far the most exciting
meeting that has been held in Arv-
:da in good many months.
The small council chamber was
filled with people who had come out
tc object or have explained to them
the sewer proposition as it is laid
out at present.
A number of remonstrances were
read.
One signed by nearly all the pro-
perty owners south of the Colorado
& Southern tracts stated that the
sewer was neither desired nor need
ed by them.
They claimed that its construction
under the plan submitted would i'm
pose a, burden upon the land which
would be illegal and unnecessary.
The remonstrance declared that
the sewer district sought to be
established is illegal and indefen-
sible. partial and evidently framed
from prejudice and malice.
Carbon copies Of the same petition
were signed BY Attorney Campbell,
Nj. and Mrs. A. A. Jackson, A. J.
Story. Mrs. Lille schellenger. Mrs.
Lille ,Nswton. Mrs. Emma Welch,
and A. Christian, residents Of the
west part Of town along Grand
View-ave.
Max Fischer Of West Grand View
handed In remonstrance objecting
TO taxes in general and sewer taxes
in particular.
Cora Collett and Robert T. Kerr
who own tract of land south Of
the railroad at the North end Of
Avalon lane in letter to the board
stated that they favored the sewer
but that they do not favor the pro-
position as submitted. Their i'm
provements are on lower ground
than the sewer line. their petition
alleged. Thay had not been mis-in-
formed.
It was after the reading Of the re-
ronstrances that Attorney Campbell
opened his TRADE against the mem
bors of the town board.
He started out by explaining that
the word malice. as used in the re-
n.onstrances was in n legal rather
than personal sense.
But he charged that members Of
the board had by their conduct ap-
parently taken the attitude of fore
ing the sewer on the unwilling be-
ceuse the power wns vested in them
to do this.
He made the assertion that the
board. If it decided to stand firm on
this proposition might have to abide
by the same rule Of might and stand
