Printer complains "filling waste
baskets of nation" and boldly de-
clares Congress permits the pre-
paration and printing of millions
of pamphlets and books that have
little or nothing to do with the
proper functions of the Federal
Government. It is recommended
that Congress appropriate money
for the advertising of useful gov
eminent documents rather than
for the wanton waste of taxpayers
money for advertising congress
men and senators by an extrava-
CANT system of free distribution.
The idea is not making much head

ance record when roll calls are
made. While there are some no.
torious exceptions to the rule, the
majority of Legislators devote more
time to public affairs than the
average business man gives to his
own office. Frequently, it is nee
essary for the leaders to devote
evenings to long hours of study
and preparation for debates and
public hearings on the following
day.
From a political standpoint the
situation in China is not provok-
| ing alarm. The movements of the
American fleet, and the safety of
the American citizens depends up
on the executive department, prin-
cipally the naval establishment.
The Mexican controversy is grad
ually simmering down as the re-
suit of the resolution passed by
the Senate last week, recommend
ing an arbitration policy.
The principal difficulties deal
with question of patronage. The
rejection of Cyrus Woods as an
Interstate Commerce Commission
er was the outcrop of sectional
ism. There are indications that
this patronage issue, no matter
how regrettable, will break out
again. It is difficult matter to
distribute high offices as patronage
so that each of the forty-eight
states will be satisfied.
The apparent quiescence on the
part of leading legislators is no
ticed only at the present session.
At the first session last year things
were different. Taxpayers read
| ing brief accounts of COMPRESSION
al debates in the newspapers sell
dom realize the tremendous
amount of words which find their
way into the Congressional Record.
There were 176 issues of the Re-
cord for the first session of this
Congress, averaging 70 printed
pages each day, which was by far
the largest average ever maintain
ed by any Congress. This would
indicate that our national legislat-
ors are becoming more loquacious
each year. The circulation of the
Congressional Record is approx
mately $4,000 copies. It is inter-
esting to note that the paper used
during the first session Of this Con-
gress, if cut into strip the width
of a Record page would make a
band 1922 miles in length, or
enough to encircle the earth at the
equator and lap more than half
around again. Talk is not cheap
in Washington.
With reference to economy in
governmental expenditures Creep
ing up in Congressional debate, the
annual report of the Public Print
er sent to Congress this week shows
that they have fertile field for
economical practice in their own
offices. 1t is an easy matter for q
legislator to prescribe rules and
regulations for other people, but II
is another matter to be governed

Representative Zeno Moser of this dis
trict is one of the authors OF measure to
distribute portion of the gasoline tax to
the townships of the state.
There is a grave question of the FEAST
bility of this plan, as no township will receive
enough to be of material assistance to them
in permanently improving any great portion
of the township highways.
Representatives of the three large CEN
tiers of population are back OF a movement
to repeal the Dunn one mill road tax which
is used entirely on the country highways
other than the Babcock Highways. The plan
townships will be resisted by the large cen
tiers of population, and the rural members
should resist the move to repeal the Dunn
law.
The Dunn Act could be repealed by a
vote of the Legislature but to divert any
portion of the motor vehicle or gas tax to
uses other than for the Babcock or trunk
highways of the state requires constltu-
tional amendment which must be submitted
to the voters at General Election.
There is much money needed to COM
plete the Trunk Highway system of the
State and the Herald believes it would be
unwise to either repeal the Dunn act or to
divert at this time any portion OF the motor
vehicle or gas tax from the Trunk Line
fund.
Commissioner Babcock has asked the
Legislative Committees to not tamper with
these funds. The county bonds issued to
build trunk highways will start to mature in
1881. These bonds have been taken over by
the Highway department and sinking fund
is being set aside each year to care for them
as they fall due. If portion of the gas and
motor tax is diverted into other channels
but very little new construction can be made
each year.
The time will come when the townships
should receive material assistance from the
motor and gas taxes, but it should not be
attempted until the outstanding county
bonds are matured and paid for.

Washington Letter

Washington, Feb. with q
legislative days remaining before
the adjournment of the Sixty-nintf
Congress-, the problems of the leg
islative leaders become more acute
1t appears. that many measure:
which are sent to conference as the
result of disagreements between
the Senate or House will bring
about marked congestion during
the last days of Congress. 1t is ar
old-time political stunt to have one
of these legislative bodies pass q
measure which they know full
we'll will be rejected by the other
and the responsibility for failure
is placed upon four or six men
designated as conferees, whose
duty is to smooth out the differen.
ces. Today Washington is crowded
with propagandists and lobbyists
representing multitude of causes
all DESTROYS of making some head
way with their projects before the
hour of adjournment.
As the checkup is made on &C
complishments of this Congress,
attention is directed to leadership
of the majority and minority. In
some quarters it is said that the
new policy of allowing the opposi-
ton to talk unrestrained on any
and all subjects is not the best
method of conducting business. On
the other hand, those in favor OF
garrulity claim that it often dis
tracts attention from serious bus
mess of the Senate and House,
with the result that programs are
put through, while those opposed
to various measures are babbling
over inconsequential matters.
Keen observers of men and
methods in Washing5,n say Il at
the principal orators at the Capt.
toll are unusually silent at this SEES
sion. 1t is pointed out that Sen
ator Norris of Nebraska, ordinarily
an aggressive and brive champion
of his own ideals, and a sworn
foe of monopoly, has seldom en-
gagged in debate. Senator Borah OF
Idaho, who usually figures in
foreign affairs discussions has re-
stricted his flow of oratory to the
issuance of public statements to
the press. Senator Reed of Mis-
souri,, whose worth as an orator is
readily recognized by official
Washington, has been devoting his
time principally to analysis of tes-
timony by his committee into the
primary election scandals. Senat-
or Walsh of Montana, who, with
Senator Reed of Missouri, occupies
the role of Senate prosecutors
has also been chary with his re-
marks. Senator Smoot, the finan.
cial authority Of the Senate, and
Senator Curtis, Republican lead.
er have also confined their talks
to routine affairs. These men in
particular have been in the lime.
light for a number of years, and the
visitors to Washington usually ash
to have them pointed out.
There are others in the Senate
and House who are equally al
earnest in their efforts to serve, but
