May Head d. c. Body.
The District of Columbia committee,
having jurisdiction over all legisla-
ton affecting the National Capital
will illustrate how the decision of
| chairmanships is complicated. The
chairman and ranking republican
member are both gone. This brings
Representative Stuart Reed of West
Virginia in line for chairman under
the seniority rule. Reed is now chair
| man of the committee on expenditures
in the Department of Justice. With
Representative Bertrand H. Smell of
New York becoming chairman of the
rules committee the way is left open
for Reed to be chairman Of the i'm
portant committee on war claims,
which he may prefer to the District
committee. If Reed does not take the
vacancy as chairman of the District
committee the member next in line is
Representative Frederick N. Zihlman
Of Maryland. who is now chairman Of
the labor committee, who could be
persuaded to take it, but II he didn't
the man next in line is Representa-
tive Florian Lampert OF Wisconsin,
who Is chairman OF the patent COM
mittee. So 1t is quite evident that
there may be a rather general Shift
in chairmanships.
More Certain Selections.
Here, however, are some Of the new
committee chairmanships that are
pretty certain, under the seniority
rule: Ways and means, Representa-
tive William r. Green, Iowa; rules
Representative Bertrand II. Smell,
New York; judiciary, Representative
George S. Graham, Pennsylvania;
education, Representative Frederick
W. Dallinger, Massachusetts,; ac-
counts, Representative Clarence Nc
Gregor. New York; post office and
post roads. Representative William s
Grtest, Pennsylvania; census Repre-
sentative Louis w. Fairfield, Indiana;
library, Representative Robert Luce,
Massachusetts; roads, Representative
Cassius Dowell, Iowa.
OF course, appointments to vacan-
cies on the ways and means and ap-
preparations committees may entice
some of those who are now chairmen
Of other committees or in line TO be
chairmen. so that the farther you go |
the more complicated and involved is |
the situation regarding the task of |
making up a schedule of committees |
With reactionary group from the |
west who claim to have the balance |
OF power and who have been jockey |
ing for several months to make them
selves seem dangerous, 1t Is a logical |
guess by the politically sagacious |
that these trouble threateners are
merely trying to get recognition in |
good committee berths.
Thus do trouble and perplexity |
stare the republican leaders in the |
face as they contemplate the task of
arranging slate of committee ap-
pointments with apportionment that
will satisfy the democrats and ap-
pointments that will appease repub-
lican malcontents. 1t Is Representa-

DANDORA's BOX is open in the repub-

and troubles are a-wing and in full
flight
Senator Hiram Johnson of California is
classed as having touched the spring which
sprung the lid in his announcement that he
is candidate for. the republican nomination
for the presidency. 1t was not so much his
declaration of candidacy that hurts the regu-
lar republicans, but it was the harsh things
he said about them, the administration and
the republican Congress.
Being a two-fsted fighting man in poll
tics, once he decided to enter the contest he
went into the fight in characteristic fashion
and laid about him Justify with verbal
shillelah, reckless of whose head he hit.

"The Road Of No Return"

A. II. Afford, veteran editor OF
the Lewiston Tribune, came to
Boise Friday declaring himself
worn out by the jolting journey
over Idaho's "North and South
highway" and vowing he would
find some other way to return to

little and big Salmon river canyons
