And the People Will Find Their Own Way
An Editorial.

A teller vote is quite different from a roll call
which spreads On the record the yeas" and
mays" Of all the congressman.
Under the teller vote all members who wish
20 vote yea" will be first herded into the well
Of the House chamber. Then they will file
rapidly up the center aisle. At either side Of
the aisle will stand counters who will clock
Of the voting members, recording numerically
but not individually. Next. the members who
wish to vote may" will swarm into the aisle
and be counted. Then the counters will re-
port to the chair and the chair will announce
now many voted for and how many voted
against. But that is all that will 60 into
record. No names will appear.
THE obvious purpose Of all this Is to keep

So the Capitol Hill reporters for The Indian
apolis Times, working with the Washington
correspondents Of % other Scripps-Howard
newspapers, will be in the press gallery and
will tabulate the names of as many mem

De identified in the time available 1t is our
hope to identify all.
We won't guarantee complete satisfaction.
But we will do our best. And if we can't
list all, we will list a lot. We may make some
mistakes. From the press gallery down on the
House floor, bald heads look alike. So if any
congressman finds he is listed inaccurately
in the poll, which we shall publish, he is here
by invited to call upon us for a correction. We
will record him as voting the way he says he
voted.
In this undertaking we are not attempting
a journalistic scoop. In fact we hereby invite
all other Washington correspondents OF all
other newspapers to join in the enterprise
which is intended to furnish the public with
information to which the public is entitled.

IN the interest Of a better working Of
democracy and in a spirit Of good clean
fun The Indianapolis Times today is attempt
ing an experiment.
Democracy works best when the people
krow exactly how their representatives vote
or important matters.
II the House Of Representatives today, the
elected servants Of the people are voting on
q very important matter. The vote will be
taken under a trick procedure that is de-
signed TO keep the people ignorant Of how the
individual congressman stand. We propose to
try 70 upset this trick to do unoficially what
the House Of Representatives will not do off,
ciaIy-to make a record of each congress-
mans vote And, Of course, We propose to print
that record as soon as it is mechanically pos
sible TO do so.
The issue is whether the so-called death
sentence" shall be imposed on certain public
utility holding companies. On both sides Of
this issue much heat" has been applied. From
a powerful utility lobby in one direction, from
powerful Administration leaders in the other.
In such a situation congressman prefer not
70 go on the spot. They seek the sheltering
cloak Of anonymity.
WE believe that while anonymity may be
w more comfortable for the congressman
il is decidedly less than statesmanlike. For,
in democracy, if the people are to pass in
diligently on the performance Of their rep
resentatives they must necessarily know how
those representatives. voted on public ques-
tions. We believe that no matter what citi-
zens views may be. whether he be for or
against on the issue involved, that citizen is
entitled to know what his congressman did.
Hence the experiment.
It's working out is not easy. 1t involves
Identification from the press gallery OF hun
dreds Of congressman in a very short space
Of time. The trick procedure being employed
by the House is known as the teller vote"

WAR
LOOMING IN
MILK STRIKE

e. CRICAGO, Oct. 10 Q.N.S0,
Guerilla warfare was feared today
rs the Chicago milk strike entered
its twelfth day with all efforts to
strike a truce ending in failure.
Efforts of Mayor Edward j.
Kelly to bring peace between the
rfoting strikers and the Pure Milk
Association, distributing agency
collapsed early today after a long
and turbulent meeting in the
mayors chambers.
All Offers Spurned
The strikers, many of them dis
Senters from the ranks Of the
p. M. A., spurned all others OF
compromise proposed by Mayor
Kelly. The mayor declared today:
This Is one fthe toughest
propositions / ever encountered.
I could make no headway.
Neither side would make con-
cessiOns. There is nothing more
I can do. I'm finished with
it."
It was understood the strikers
stood pat on their demands for a
price Of $3.50 per hundredweight
for their milk. The present price
paid by the P. M. A. is SITS. The
strikers are also said to have de.
manded recognition of a new mar.
keting cooperative to compete
with the P. M. A.
Violence is Marked
Over the conference hung the
fearful pail of open Guerilla war
fare, a fear accentuated by the
shooting Of a strike picket in 9
clash with milk guards near Her
bert, in Boone county. yesterday
Violence has marked the strike
from the beginning, with picketI
hating milk trucks, spilling the
white cargo along the roadside
blowing up a section of railroad
track, burning two railroa
bridges, and engaging in hand Il
hand fighting with P. M. A. repre-
SentativeS.

are naturally sweet and kind,
loyal and loving, honest and
pure-minded. But men can't be
trusted out of your sight!

not to let papa know. Evil

a propitious time. The fruits

FREE REIN
AS a spectacle, this greatest
of all astronomical undertak-
ings is deeply impressive. Let
us give our imagination free
rein; let it take us to a distant
point where we can view
impartially our Milky Way
galaxy.
The system contains about
10000 million suns.
Although no existing tele-
scope could detect it, we may
imagine our sun located near
the center of the aggregation.
1t has nine ultra-insignificant
satellites revolving around it.
They are beyond any telescope,
but we know they are there.
Five are hopelessly invisible.
But again, we know they are
there, and we may project our
imagination to them, even
though no imaginable instru-
ment could resolve them, and
even though light itself, to
make the journey, requires a
million years.
Upon tiny Speck number
three, we may imagine in
describably tiny creatures,
Swarming in and out of glass
works, laboratories, mills and
offices, all working to produce
a 200-inch telescope, that more
may be learned of the construc-
tion and dimensions of the uni
verse, of which they are such
a micro-microscopic part.
The production of this giant
telescope is costing millions of
dollars. Here lies the most i'm
pressive and encouraging phase
of the spectacle.
This wealth was subscribed
solely with the idea that man
