frewflpapers to use harsh words in discussing the subject rc
fcently. "The most glaring example of lawlessness anywhere

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.

WIDOW OF MANAGER OF FORD'S
THEATER SEEKS LINCOLN CHAIR
j Danger oirtRttiNt; off on a tangent
j In previous Icgislativo sessions not nny too much attention
his been paid by legislators to the recommendations of spe
cial committees or hoards intrusted with the job of study
ing and reporting on a specific tax pioi!cm. 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.
