Attempt to Increase Efficiency
OF D. C.. Citisens' Federation,

Early in the season q special COM
mittee Of the Federation Of Citizens
Associations will report the result
Of its labors to change its con-
stitution and bylaws as to improve
the efficiency Of the organization.
The constitution was drafted some
years ago when there were much
fewer member organization and
delegates to the assembly than now.
The amount Of business coming up
for consideration was also far less.
From time to time amendments
have been added to take care of
particular situations. These have
been largely in the form of provisos
and In some instances tend to con-
fuse rather than clarity. Clarifica-
ton OF all such provisions has been
the aim Of this committee which
has been struggling with this prob
lem through the heat Of the sum-
mer.
The most radical changes upon
which the committee has tenta-
lively agreed are to change the time
for the annual election from No.
vember to May and to have the
omcers nominated one month in
advance Of the election. The rea-
son for this change Is said to be to
permit the organization to be COM
pleted through the summer 80 that
when activities are resumed In the
fall the work can 60 right on
through the year without being up
set right at the time Of greatest
need for complete organisation.
A number. of the member-associa-
tions now have spring elections.
Another change Of the same char
acter to be propoeed will provide
for the delegates serving q uniform
term. At present delegates are sent
In by associations With their terms
beginning at various times in the
year. The result is that there Is
IN abnormal change ell the time in
ths roster Of delegates and In COM
mites asgtgnmAnts. The change

Civic Problems, Civic Bodies
General Agreement Seen on Keeping Tax Burden
Down-L;ner on the Streets-More
Federation Efficiency Sought.

visitors aid Washingtonians that
money mailed to photographers for
camera shots made on our DOWN
town streets, in many cases, fails
to produce pictures. Postal inspec-
tors may be drawn into the affair
because Of the use Of the mails to
defraud.
Many of our civic-minded citi-
zens express humiliation at the
way In which the city streets are
Uttered with paper of various sizes
and descriptions. The principal
habitual offenders are the persons
into whose unwilling hands pho
tographers press numbered slips
advising the victims to return the
slips with rs cents to the given ad-
dress and receive = copy Of the
candid shot which has just been
made Of him as he walked along
the street. Most OF these persons
give quick glance at the slip and
drop 1t on the sidewalk. Some-
times when several Of these pho
tographers are operating In
limited space, the sidewalk and
street will be literally covered with
gay colored slips about the size of
= business envelope.
To improve the appearance Of
our city streets and materially add
to their attractiveness, the dis
tributing of handbills has been
prohibited and trash receptacles
have been provided In various loca-
tions so as to make it easy for the
citizens to avoid violation of the
regulations. These receptacles are
now too sadly lacking in number
to encourage a more extended use.
This Is probably due to, lack Of
funds at the disposal OF the refuse
division.
Comment among . number of
citizens discussing this question Of
keeping the streets clean indicates
the belief that the Police DEPART
ment is not sufficiently watchful
and is therefore responsible for
much of the litter seen throughout
the city. 1t is not an uncommon
occurrence for city refuse trucks to
leave a wake of waste paper as they
60 about their work. This appears
to be as important a problem as
that which the police are investi-
eating regarding the failures of
these photographers to return the
pictures for the cash received.

Another AnacOstia Bridge
Proposed by KenilWorth,

A survey for another bridge
across the Anacostia River at
Kenilworth is sought by the citi-
zens' association Of that section.
They have asked the Commission
ers to include such an item in the
1910 budget. The recent acquisi-
ton by the Government OF the
famous Shaw Lily Gardens is ex-
pected to give impetus to this
movement to increase their acces-
sibility. The river at that point Is
not 50 formidable q stream and the
bridge would be less costly than
other bridges which will be re-
quired from time to time.
The mention of the bridge desire
by Kenilworth Is sure to revive the
movement by other of the organized
groups over the Anacostia River
for the proposed bridge In line with
South Capitol street. This Il an
old project, which will have to be
put through some day.
The development of the Naval and
Army air stations and other Gov
ernment activities furnishes many
additional reasons for the construc-
ton Of the bridge At that point. In
fact the civic groups In that area,
a. much as they feel that they need
this additional bridge, believe that
the need by the Federal Govern
ment for q South Capitol street
bridge Is far greater than their own.
The Federal need for . bridge here
Is so great that 1t would be perfectly
reasonable for the Government to
construct 1t at It's own expense.
As the population grows in the
section south Of the Anacostia
River other bridges will be required.
The closing Of the existing bridges
without others to carry the load
would disrupt transportation and tie
up business in a most embarrassing
way. The Government, As the Dis
trict's most extensive business
establishment. would be inconven-
fenced In such an event probably
more IMAM any Otner.
These bridges are among the i'm
portant civic problems which are to
have the study Of organized civic
Washington. As . preliminary the
Committee on Bridges Of the Board
Of Trade and the Committee on
Highways, Parks and Waterways Of
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions are expected to fully acquaint
their memberships with the entire
bridge program Of the District
division Of the Engineer Depart
ment and Of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission. A
complete understanding Of the pro-
gram and some good team work
Is expected to produce results be-
fore the bridge needs become more
acute.

Commissioner Hazen Immediately
announced: I'VE are all in favor
of that"
District officials are now busily
engaged IN revision Of the esti-
mates which will make up the
tentative budget for 1910 for sub
mission to the Bureau Of the
Budget. If the advice Of the civic
spokesmen Is to be needed, 1t will
necessitate the slashing Of esti-
mates 80 as to bring about . re-
duction Of some SIG, 1000, 900. It is
thought that there are probably
items in the estimates Of the vari-
Gus department heads which have
also been included in allotments
for capital improvements granted
by the P. w. A. If this Is true, it
may account for some of the large
increase.
A number Of civic groups, in
cluding those especially interested
in safety, have urged more lib
eral appropriations for the Police
Department, 80 As to increase the
personnel. Labor groups urge sub
stantial increase in both pay and
personnel.
When the present revised pre-
liminary budget is sent to the
Budget Bureau, the next step IN
the complicated budgetary ma
chinery will be the appearance Of
the District ofncials before the

tempt to Justify their recommenda.

CORRECTION FOR
Mr.. LAMBERT

House Bill No. 215 was bitterly
fought all the way through its hectic
career. It p~ertained to the recall of
elective officers. The first roll call
on the bill was on a motion to segre-
gate from the report of the com
mittee of the whole house which had
recommended to kill the bill by
striking the enacting clause. This
motion to segregate prevailed and
saved the bill for the moment. The
House Journal gave Mr.. Lambert as
being absent on this vote. The Sec
ond time the bill came before the
committee of the whole house it
was again killed. A motion to
segregate from the committees re-
port lost by a vote of So to 81. Mr..
Lambert on this occasion voted for
segregation or to save the bill. His
actions at all times were in favor of
the bill. Unfortunately the first roll
call, which counted MI. Lambert as
being absent, was used in the Box
Score. In view of Mr.. Lambert's
actions in favor of the bill and other
errors found in the House Journal,
we believe that Mr.. Lambert should
be credited with being in favor of
the bill, and that the Journal is
wrong. We are pleased to make this
correction as it gives Mr.. Lambert
100 per cent rating along with his
Representative from Hill County,
Mr.. Hess.

married and has one son. One of
the few hundred per centers in the
House.
Mr.. Hess suggests the following
for better legislation:
Better legislation for the people of
Montana can be obtained only by
sending better people to the Legisla-
ture. Our greatest need today as I
see it is for the PEOPLE in public
life, beginning with our school trus-
tees and on through our county,
state and national government, big
enough and of the character and
type that will represent American
citizens and their needs, not politi-
cal parties, public exploiters and
their desires. Abraham Lincoln said,
mo nation can exist half free and
half slave" I say, Let us unite
farmers and laborers and give this
government back to the people of
Montana, where it belongs"

1880. Moved to Montana following
year and has been a resident since
Received the major portion of his
education in Great Falls schools
Entered the printing profession as a
paper carrier, gradually working his
way upward by means of an appren-
ticeship in the printing trades. Has
been a member of the Topographic
cal Union for 30 years. Always ac-
tive in the formation of farm-labo1
groups and councils to secure better
Legislation for the masses. After be-
ing defeated for the office of mayor
of Lewistown and for the office OF
state representative, he was elected
to the latter office and served in the
25th legislative session.
knowing and believing that much
beneficial legislation to the people
of Montana during the 25th session
was dumped into the waste basket
by Senate committees, after its pas
sage by the House, leads me to be-
lieve that the situation might be
righted to some extent by choosing
and electing more liberal members
to both branches of our law-makine
bodies, and especially should this
effort be directed at men who are
returned to the Senate. Certainly
all the measures passed in the House
and discarded by the Senate could
not have been Of such poor nature
or lacking requirements to meet the
need Of existing situations and con
ditions, as not to have been given q
little more consideration. It wouldn't
look SO much like steam-roller tao
tics if some of these measures were
at least, allowed to come out on the
floor for debate, for surely there
was some merit to some of them. ]
do not believe the attitude of last
winters Senate demonstrates the
principle of our American form OF
government or its institutions, OF
even tends toward fair play and
good craftsmanship. I do not write
these words from hearsay or with
any particular animosity, as l was
present on many occasions before
Senate committees when their very
crude, but effective way of annihil-
ating liberal, progressive and labor
laws, was carried out. No doubt
there were bills introduced at the
last session merely for the purpose
of discrediting other proposed mea-
sures of merit, and in the end but g
small amount of worthwhile legisla-
ton was enacted. It having beer
my first session, 1 may have fallen
short Of the goal to which l aspired
but if this be SO, it was due more tc
i~nexperience than desire on my part
not to be fair and use my best judg-
ment in legislation for the best in
terests of Montana and citizens. Al
any rate the die is cast and I'll lei
my record speak for itself. I tried
to be fair, equitable and just, in my
consideration and vote on all mea-
sures Robert W. Mackie.

MUST PROVIDE AID
TO INDIAN WARDS

Montana must provide aid for
Indians who are wards of the state
and have not received title to lands,
the State Supreme Court holds.
Counties are not obligated to con-
tribute toward this money; the state
must accept full responsibility How
ever, where Indians who have title
to lands and do not reside on reser-
vations, they must receive the same
treatment as other citizens and the
counties must contribute proper
tionately to their support. The case
was brought by H. A. Williams of
Big Horn County.

Oregon (~ongraiuIates
Montana Unions and
philip 0. keeney

The Oregon members of organized
labor, both A, F. L. and c. I. o.,
were highly pleased to learn of the
recent decision by Judge Padbury
in the District Court of Lewis and
Clark County ordering the reinstate-
ment of P. O., Keeney, liberal Ii
brarian of the University of Mon
tana.
Professor Keeney was star cham
bered out of his position as librarian
a year ago this month by a summary
action of the State Board of Educa-
ton. The records Of the star cham
Der session were expunged and little
doubt was left that the action was
to teach all Montana educators that
the unionization of teachers is not
we'll received by the corporate gov
eminent of the state.
The labor unions of Oregon and
the teachers of the state of Oregon
look at the Keeney decision as a
major step in freeing the public
schools from reactionary domination.
There is visible effort in every
educational system in the United
States of the drive of reaction to
gain a stranglehold on the public
school system. The first move of the
reactionaries in each instance is to
get rid of all teachers or professors
who r known to have liberal ideas
about education. After the liberal
teachers are fired the schools be-
come propaganda factories for the
reactionaries whom President Roose-
welt so aptly called Economic Royal
lists.
The drive of the Economic Royal
lists came at an earlier date in Ore
gon, but like Montana, the liberals
and the unions carried the facts to
the public and the public refused to
let the schools become royalized.
The fight is not over, however,
until the final battle is won. The
schools will never be secure for
democratic education until every
teacher and professor is a member
of a union. The workers and farm
ers r the persons most interested
in keeping the public school system
free and democratic.
The democratically minded people
of Oregon congratulate organized
labor and the farmers in Montana
who are carrying on the fight for
free schools.
We have the same fight here every
time reaction tries to beat down de-
mocracy. We are with you in the
struggle for free education and are
sure that Keeney will be returned to
his rightful position despite appeals
to the Supreme Court and all the
other things the reaction will at
tempt, to defeat free education.
Sincerely yours,
JAMES CORRIGAN,
Citizens League of Oregon.

TLUO HARVARD SaUQntS
Rival Legend

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 6
G.N.SO-Two youths, of the
same age, graduates of Harvard
University class of 1882, decided
to enter law school. They were
fast friends and often poundered
over legal tones together.
Both were outstanding scholars
and both were appointed members
Of the Harvard faculty in 1890.
Today, both at the age of II,
had their designations, effective
September /, before President
James Bryant Conant.
The two lifetime friends, whose
parallel careers almost seem fic-
tion-like in their similarity, are
Joseph Henry Beale, Royal pro.
feSSor, and Samuel Williston. Dane
professor. They are recognized
as two of the most noted teachers
Of law in the world. Both are fel.
lows of the American Academy
Of Arts and Sciences. Both have
received honorary degrees from
their alma mater.
Prof. Beale served as first dean
of University of Chicago Law
School, and Prof. Williston re-
fused an appointment as dean of
University of California Law
School.
