RAPs COST OF CONGRESS.
Writer Fails to Find Economy Put
Into Actual Practice.
To ,h- Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
The Congress of the United States
is about half-century behind the
times. It's cost to the people of the
United States is about $4,000 for each
working hour of its sessions.
A roll call consumes from half
hour to an hour and a half, thus
costing the people from ten to fif-
teen thousand dollars.
An electric device could easily be
established by which every vote
could be registered at the desk of
the Speaker, tabulated and photo
eraphed, in five minutes or even
less. 1t could be made to show
vote "yes" or no." paired or absent
and not voting, and the photograph
would be an indestructible and per-
manent record of the vote
But economy Is the watchword of
the present administration and
hundred or thousand roll calls dur
ie a session does not mean anything
af all to the members Of Congress.
Again, halliday of argument and
speeches and voting has been con-
sumed by the Congress in the matter
of voting an appropriation of the
sI,rn of 5000 for an improvement
to the system of water works for
the city of Washington.
This is another sample of economy
as practiced by the Congress Of the

There never was a time in the
whole history of the world when the
industrialist had so much to offer or
the world at large had so great a

Europe has received a staggering
blow. Millions of it's pest citizens

commercial life have been shaken
as though by an earthquake.
I'VE in Great Britain have the fac

things lacking is real motive power.
''If We are to. obtain it every class,
employer and employed alike. must
admit the theory of personal response
bility and must endeavoi- to fulfill its
obligations.
Men in every political path look
forward to the time when there shall
be real settlement in Europe. but
not until We achieve unity at home
can We hope to achieve unity abroad.
Not until all classes of the community
recognize not only their rights. but
their obligations. shall we achieve
