Auto Destruction

That the destruction of worn
out and unsafe motor cars by
members of the Washington Auto
motive Trade Association is a
good thing, was expressed yester.
day in q letter which M. o. Ed.
ridge, assistant director of traffic,
wrote to Whitney Leary, president
of the association.
Association members destroyed
76s worn-out motor cars which
came into their possession, and
this work, Eldridge believes, will
be of great assistance to the
traffic and public and will make
for safer driving.

ELECTORAL
VOTES

The Republican party will gain
nine votes in the electoral col
lege. and the cities and the vets
will increase their power as
against the rural districts and
the drys in both the National
House of Representatives and
State legislatures as result OF
the 1890 Genus now nearing com
pletion, it was, indicated today in
an analysis of reports thus far
announced.
The 1880 census will rank as
one of the most important in the
nations history. Congress has
already enacted q law requiring
reapportionment of the House on
the basis of population shown in
the census.
The South and Mid-Western
agricultural sections are certain to
lose members in the House to the
cities of the nation. The effect
of the political realignment of
the House is questionable, but IL
is evident that reapportionment
will increase the wet vote in that
body.
California Gets 8
Gains in membership in the
national House of Representatives
after reapportionment are indi-
Gated in census figures, as follows:
California, 20 members instead
of IL: Florida, instead Of 4;
Michigan, II instead of Is; New
York, 45 instead of 43.
Losses indicated are Indiana, 2;
Iowa. 2: Kansas, / or 2; Ken
lucky 2; Maine, /; Massachu-
sets, /; Minnesota, /; Nebraska,
/; Rhode Island, 1; Tennessee, /;
Vermont, /, and Virginia, /.
States whose population is
known and whose representation
in the House probably will be un-
changed are Arkansas, Colorado,
Delaware, Illinois, Nevada, New
Hampshire, New Mexico, Okla
foma, Utah, washington, West

Sen. Thaddeus Carraway Of Arkansas Is chairman
Of the lobby investigating committee He has re-
turned his verdict:
Business men might just as well go TO q palm
reader or a crystal gaser and have the future Of
legislation foretold as to put their money in the
so-called publicity agents and these lobbyists we see
here in Washington"
He said a million dollars had been spent to influ-
ence public opinion on the sugar duties in the tariff
bill.
One lobbyist. and not a sugar lobbyist, extracted
sl25 600 in a single year from gullibe business men.
This is the verdict OF the Arkansas senator referring
to the activities OF Washington Hobbies and lob
byists:
THE whole matter IS nothing but simple graft; and
II is worse than that because 1t preys upon the public
and undertakes to undermine the confidence Of the
American people in the integrity Of their govern
ment."
Sen. Carraway did not add these words: 1T
appears that certain business men are willing TO be
grated"
They furnish the coin and the lobbyists for GER
tain interest furnish the arguments and the bland
ishments.
There IS Hiram Bingham OF Connecticut. he Is
a senator. What were his lobby methods?
There Is Joseph r. Grundy Of Pennsylvania. He
is a senator now. What were his methods in the
near past when he was the king of Washington
lobbyists?
His puppet in the governors office at Harrisburg
appointed him senator when the Ware vacancy az
forded an opportunity as well as an opening.

made clear by the fact that the

A CITY Manager Loses His Scalp

Cleveland has been the largest American city func-
tioning under the city manager plan and this for
six years.
City Mgr. w. B. Hopkins has been thrown out OF
office. He was beaten by a IA to II vote in the
Cleveland city council.
Now the political prophets say that within a year
Cleveland may return TO the mayor and ward coun-
Gil form Of government. Mgr. Hopkins made a great
record. He saved millions for the taxpayers. He
kept the politicians away from the feed trough.
His side OF the story is that the republican ma
chine and the East Ohio Gas company are respon-
sible for his custer. Republican machine leaders
plotted for his fall because Of his handling Of city
employee appointments and salaries and the gas COM
pany directors joined hands with the machine poll
ticians because Hopkins led a fight against the COM
pany for lower rates.
In other words a public utility and a political boss
threw out of office a manager who had saved the
taxpayers millions Of dollars. Are all the people
capable Of self-government?

StarDOre
THIRD ASTRONOMICAL PRE-
DICTION OF EINSTETN

BY Arthur Dew. Carpenter
This prediction has TO do with
the radiation OF light from the sun
or a star. viz: that because Of the
huge mass OF q star, with It's conse-
quent gravltational pull, the light
radiation leaving. a star will be
slowed down IN velocity as compar-
ed with the free radiation OF light
produced in a physical laboratory.
Such a demonstration Is carried
out by producing both the laboratory
and the stellar spectogram side BIZ
side. When light from a massive
body Is slowed down, IL maniiests
in the spectogram By q frightening
OF the light waves which shifts the
entire spectrum toward the red.
Such experiments have supported
the Einstein theory.
