"The most glaring example of lawlessness anywhere to be found under the flat'. 111 other words, a number of lv piescntativce in congress today nie occupying stolen sents. Their occupation oi' seats to which they are no longer entitled under the constitution makes of the lower house of congress an utterly unconstitutional body." Tut the hue and cry for re apportionment will probably not be necessary 'again. The house has passed the Fenn bill to secure the desired constitu tional lesult after the census next year. For 10 years it has been pending, and the remarkable thing about it all is that no politician, no president, no presidential candidate has tried to make capital out of it.

Not till of the fecommcndatioiiH, peilutps, have had merit, but they at' least cprespnted a lot 01 hard work and deserved more considera-; jtion than they got. . The repcit of the present special pioierty tax relief com niission, however, may receive treatment less liarsh., Ja?p;is lators niny lc taking Governor Patterson's warning to heart itnd pdi'hups propone to look the commission's program over for fear that they'll not get a chmico in the future.' 'Or .'per-' haps the commission's personnel was carefully enough- se lected in the fiist place to guarantee that its report would at least find a hcniincr. Whatever the reason, Speaker Caikin, who was general chairman of the tax studying commission referred to, is apparently succefslul so far in gelling the lower house or ganized to give serious consideration to the commission's pro-posfil!-,when they appear beloic it with specific bills., We hope lie is entirely successful; the tax aituatioii demands Rome cuch care and many of the pit posals for partial cure have been proved thoroughly sound. One of the biggest troubles with most legislative sessions is that a majority of the lawmakers sometimes allow them selves to be led off on some tangent and neglect the really important bu: inrss of the state., Someone with a pet griev ance or with the power to paint a foiry picture of a down trodden people gets them aroused on a false issue and they are likely to miss the goal of the session entirely. The pres ent fuss over the telephone franchise situation in Portland is one example. It may bo and probably is important liom Portland's standpoint. It'.'i entirely possible that an intelligent investi gation of present policies and piactices may indicate the need ot corrective nieasuios to make the public service commission mole valuable rs ; public aj:eiic of government. l!ut legis lators wll not, we hope, allow themselves to be swept off their feet and forv.it t hi;t there is the problem of taxation, of n stale deficit, of auto license fee revision, of a painfully rnd painstakingly bnlrnced budget for the coining bieiiniuni awaiting their attention. . Legislators are unite human and one of the most g'ar ing shortcomings of most of us is our ability to work but our inability to woik to a specific anil definite purpose. It may not be good politics to follow a definite course through to , worthwhile accomplishment but it ceitainly is good business. tho last two weeka they have taken nminnttona ure being held In the ended In 'Union's favor 311' to 14. alight colds.
