y4 / pat | al MEMBERSHIP OF [PANAMA CANAL HOUSE 10 cROW! TOLLS DISPUT E| Representatives. Will Lessen| Chairmen of Senate and House Their Individual Power. FEW MEN TO CONTROL BODY. Importance of the Senate Will Be In- creased by Larger House—Congress Will Move Slowly In Parceis Post Legistation—Elkins’ Death; Compli- cates Committee Situation. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. Washington, Jan. 13. — [(Special.]— ‘The house of representatives is going to increase tts. membership. It. has done so after every census.and will Probably continue the .same policy. It is true that the increase in member- ship decreases the power of the indi- vidual member and makes more pow- erful the compact organization which controls the house. It matters not whether the speaker or a committee on committees appoints the commit- tees or whether the speaker heads the powerful committee on rules, there is bound to be an organization of men with brains and long experience who will for the most part control the house. The larger the membership the easier it is to keep control in a few hands. And as the power of the in- dividual member decreases the power of the senate increases. This is the natural law of two bodies of co-ordi- nate power, one large and one small in number. The reasons for increasing the house membership may be summed up in the selfish motives of representatives of states which do not want to have their Present representation decreased and in the more defensible plea that the larger the membership the more rep- resentative the body will be. Moving With Deliberation. The house committee on postoffices is moving with deliberation in the di- rection of parcels post legislation. Chairman Weeks says that congress must go very slow in the mafter of loading the mails with merchandise. “If we should throw open tlie mails, as some of the members want us to do,” he said, “it. would necessitate the building of postal warehouses in most of the cities and: towns ‘to ‘accommo- | date the merchandise that would be shipped. We are not going into fur- ther extension of postal facilities with- out knowing just what we are about.” | Interesting Committee Situation. The death of Senator’ Hikins brings’ about an interesting committee situa- tion. He was chairman of interstate eommerce, the committee that handles all railroad legislation. Next to him is Senator Cullom, who was once chi man and gave it up to become chair-} man of f 1 relations, a committee of higher rank, Next to Cullom in order are Senator Aldrich, Senator Kean and Senator Olapp. Both Aldrich and Kean are to retire, which will make Clapp chair- man unless Cullom should decide to go back to his old place. But even if he did he would not last long, and Clapp would come into the chairmanship. Now, there is a very decided element in the senate which does not want Clapp chairman of this important com- mittee. He is one of the insurgent senators, a progressive of the most pronounced type, who fought the tariff Dil! and many provisions in the last railroad bill. In Minnesota theeregu- lars talked of defeating him for re- election because he was too close to La Follette. By rule of seniority, however, he will become chairman unless Aldrich should be returned to the senate de- spite his withdrawal or Cullom should take the strange course of stepping into the breach. But the senate in the next congress will have so many pro- gressives that it will not make much difference how they are placed. Working With Wiley: For many days Senator Heyburn has been working with Dr. Wiley.in the preparation of his cold storage report, which has been promised so long that people are anxious to read it. The sup- position is that this report will be a more important document than that of the special committee which investi- gated the high cost of living. Heyburn was largely responsible for the pure food law, ani it is believed that his report is to be made the basis of legislation for the control of goods in cold storage -which can be subject to interstate commerce regulations. What Is a Periodical? If you want to “start something” around the postoffice department these days put forth the inquiry, “What is a periodical?” Ever since the suggestion was made that periodicals should have their postal rates increased, especially on the advertising matter, the question as to what shall be deemed a periodical ts one of great moment. Members of con; s want a defini- tion before they legislate, and men who handle postal matters have been trying to solve the problem. The supreme court once defined the word, but gave it such a broad scope that it included papers as well as magazines.. And so the question remains unanswered. Poor Before the Rich. When justices of the supreme court take the oath of office they promise to administer justice “to the poor and rich alike.” No other oath taken by government officers is quite like this, which has been handed down from the early days of the republic. | Committees Disagree. eS rae TAFT DOES AS HE PLEASES. He Listens to Advice From All Sources and .Then Follows His Own Ideas. Former Senator Teller Says He Is a Democrat, and He May Be Returned te the Senate as Such. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. Washington, Jan. 12.— [Special.J— Shall the coastwise -vessels of the SRAND Notice of Mortgage Foreclosure Sale. the | it of ine, 6 _paymen our hundred ($450) dollars, principal, and fifteen and 75-100 ($15.75) dollars, interest, which became due and payable on the 12th day of October, 1910, upon a certain tgage, made, executed and delivered to W. H. Webb, mort- gagee, by William Neumann and Min- nie Neumann, his wife, mortgagors, ta at two of Mortgages on page 249, and — wit tho “dot ‘sootred auseaby as 4 by H. Webb to United. States. pass .through- the Pana, |,duly ma-canal without paying .tolls?, is.a question that will interest congress during this session. Senator Fiint, chairman: of the»committee on inter- oceanic canals, favors toll free ships and Chairman Mann of the house com- mittee is opposed. When the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, which provides for equal tolls and fa- cilities for ail ships of every nation passing through the canal, was before the senate, Senator Spooner, who had more to do with canal legislation than any other man, said that coastwise shipping was a local matter entirely; that foreign ships could not engage in that business, and it would make no difference whether such ships weut through free or paid tolls. It is the purpose of Senator Flint to have a provision in the bill making all ships taking advantage of free tolls subject to service of the United States in case they are needed for war pur- poses. Doing as He Pleases. Every time public questions involv- ing politics come up it becomes more apparent than ever that the president is following his own inclination and is not swayed hither and thither by the advice of those who either voluntarily or by request express their opinions. ‘The best evidence of this fact is shown in the way those whose advice is not followed are talking. They do not rel- j ish the independent attitude of the president, and many of them think that his administration is sure to be a failure because he does as he pleases. * And yet there is always a large share of the American people who like a president who has a mind of his own and follows it regardless of much ad- vice he receives. Death Shocks Senators. The death of a senator always gives | the old men of the senate a scare. They cannot help’ asking themselves, “Whose turn next?’ There are so many very old wen in the senate that they cannot but know that death will soon make ¢ inroads among them. “Is the senute all going to die off?” Was a question asked by Senator Bur- rows when Senator Hikins’ death was announced. “It begins to look like it,” he added. Burrows’ term will end Mareh 4, but he is much interested in the senate. Had a Few Misgivings. Justice Van Devanter, who recenily became an associate justice of the su- preme court, did not enter upen his duties without a full knowledge of the great responsibility. “T have a feeling of trepidation,” he said to a friend before he took the oath, “for I know that I am about to become a member of a court from which there is no appeal. The weight nility offsets to a degree the ich I might have at attain- ing my highest ambition.” He Is a Democrat. In a conversation former Senatcr Teller said no less than three times ia less than half an hour, “I am a Dem- ocrat.” And when one comes to think of it the remark sounds rather strange. coming from this famous son of Colo- rado, who was the first Republican senator from that state when it was admitted in 1876. Four years later he left the senate to serve as secretary of the interior in the Republican. cab- inet of President Arthur, In 1885 he ‘was again sent to the senate as ‘a Re- publican and was elected twice more by the same party. Teller left the Republicans in 1896 on the silver issue and was re-elected to the senate by the Colorado legisla- ture as a Democrat. He closed his Senatorial career as a member of that party. If the reports that Senator Hughes will not again take his seat in the sen- ate are true it would not be at all sur- prising if Governor Shafroth’ shoyld | appoint Teller to the vacancy. Sha- froth has a high regard for the aged statesman who has so long been iden- tified with the Centennial State. . Mormons tn Mexico. A report from a consul at Ciudad Porfirio Digz, Mexico, says that the Mortons of Utah and Idaho have just conchided the purchase of 50,000 acres of land in that district. President Smith of the Mormon church says that | many of his people will settle in Mex- ico and that another colony has been rganized to occupy nd. The Mormons have options on 500,- 600 acres in that district. It is expect- ed that there will be 5,000 Mormor families in Mexico within the next eighteen months, The lands: : which have been purchased are located so ‘that they can be irrigated, and the ‘Mormons from the United States know how to adapt themselves tr peek a country. 75,000 acres of | Itasca county, Minnesota, on the 138th day of November, 1910, at 10:30 o’- clock a. m. in Volumn Q of Moriga- ges on page 479, and Whereas the said W.
