fact is fesv people ara caring a con-
tinental about congress. It Is gener
ally known there Is a time-killing
proposition going on in the capital
and that many speeches . are being
made for and against mfasnivs, but
there is little voting being done.
Why is It that a body of healthy
men will kill time over some propo
sition when they could vote and go
home? The harvest .fields want help,
and really a number quite a number
of congressmen would be of as much
use to their country in the harTest
fields as in the halls of congress.
Aftfr all, did. you pver stop to con
sider what a cumbersome body con
gress really Is? What Is the use of
having a senate and a house. ' One
only blocks the way of the other; It
gives every opportunity for hypocri
sy, as a congressman may Introduce
a bill for his people and then secretly
work in the senate to have It killed,
and vice versa. There never has
been need of two bodies, nor la there
need for two branches of a state leg
islature, especially since the Initiative
and referendum hava become1 popular.
With two branches It makes an awk
ward arrangement, one blocking the
i progress of the other and each acting
luI-rV.fo- political rabbit
to get behind when a question of Im
portance comes up. ;
