will, of course, not be passed this year,
jwrhaps not nt-xt, but eventually, lie
believes, it must be accepted as embody
in the proper conception of propriety
for members of the huuses of congress.
The moasure provides (hat no senator
or representative shall practice in the
t tcderal courts In cases in which the
government is interested. Or .serve as
counsel for persons or corporations or
associations engaged in interstate com
merce. In view of the prevalence, especially
in past years, of members remaining
actively in court practice or retaining
positions as office counsellors for large
- v : corporations, the Borah bill stands forth
as a radical proposal, quite as far in
advance of former standards as any
- other jet offered for consideration.
Two Tn la Contract.
. Vet many members of both houses al
ready have adopted voluntarily the pro
visions sought to be made compulsory.
A notable instance is Senator Culberson,
minority leader of the- senate, who,
Minn after coming to the senate, re
Tel ved one day a fat check from Texas
in compensation for - appearance before
th supreme court In a pending; case.
He returned the check, with a polite
note saving he preferred not to prac
tice while a senator before the mipretno
court. It in understood, too, that be
floes not accept retainers from any cor
poration for any service of whatever
j- nature.
Quite in contrast, however, was- the
expression'' of his colleague. Senator
Bailey, who said, in explaining allega-
tions of connection with Htandard Oil:
'"I work for the government six
months of the year (during cnngresslon
.,' al sessions), and for Mrs. Bailey and the
. f . babies the other six months."
- Vow Kara Claaa Sands.
On both sides of both houses are men
who take a radical position on the sub-
. ... ,1et of th separation of members of
rcongress from other interests than leg
, i Mat ion. They scrupulously avoid nc
- repting anything whicii might influence
them even Indirectly, and actually give
. their time to the government
- . However, these men are not numerous.
Probably It would be within the truth
,. : . to assert that the average senator or
representative gives less than half time

to office. Some of them are heads
of vast business concerns, which they
manage from Washington
Still another class seem to be- here
simply that they may tho better for
ward their business, and -Interweave
theso private interests with the public
interest, appearing at committee meet
ings, "not as counsel for the United
States, but as attorney for the private
Interests.
Members ,of both houses from time
to tinrtThave discussed how congress
could be reinvested with " the' public's
confidence and Into the .cloakrooms of
both houses has crept the conviction
that the 80,000.000 people of the nation
do not entertain the perfect respect for
their legislative body contemplated by
the founders of the repUblig. .
Tho Are Corporation Xttrneyi.
Here are some striking Instances of
senators w-hose private interests come
into conflict often with the public con
cerns: Senator Klkins of West Virginia,
chairman of tho committee on Inter
state commerce, which controls bills
affecting freight rateB. owns immense
coal and railway properties, and is per
sonally more deeply Interested, accord
ing to common belief, in protecting
these properties than in securing the
benefit to the people at large.
Senator Piatt of New York, president
of the llnited States Express company,
who, ever since he came to the senate
here, has .stood guard over express rates
legislation and "seen" that none was
accepted which did his or any other com
pany financial harm, and that no par
cels post was provided, to take busi
ness from the express companies.
Senator A ldrlch of Rhode. Island,
chairman of the finance committee,
really chairman of the senate for that
matter, close to Standard' Oil, chosen
captain of Wall street's Washington In
terests: as chairman of that committee
controlling all bills affecting the cur
rency, banking and financial systems of
the country, and all tariff bills.
Senator Depew of New York, long
agent for the railroad interests and
whose wealth not small, either sprang
from- that source.
' Senator Spooner, formerly nt Wlaeon
sin, now of New York, pretended friend
of Roosevelt when he was in the sen
ate, but who. Immediately on resigning
and accepting retainers from large cor
porate interests as counsel, has been
flinging sneers and jibes at the presi
dent ever since. He is now fighting the
government in its efforts to dissolve
the Harrlman system. ,;.
The Growing Mlkority.
In the senate is growing up a minor
ity not the minority referred to when
the Iiemocratlc contingent is designated
which takes its members from both
sides the chamber, some Republicans,
some Democrats, and which demands
closer devotion to the public business
by senators and less ot the Interweaving
of public and private concerns: more
thought of the senatorial brain given to
t'nele Sam, less to the senator' own
business.
The Borah bill will firobably be sup-
f'orted bv this more radical element,
Ikewlse orposed by the "elder states
men" of the senate, of the Aldrlch,
Hale, and Piatt types.
Some dav It will pass, but not until
public sentiment has been elevated to
demand a higher standard than is at
tained by the average member of con
gress in these days.
STRONG PULL FOR
ALBANY COLLEGE
Ten thousand dollars in six days from
the friends of Albany college this is
the aim of "Albany college week." A
force of 25 will see the friends of the
college on the days from January 14 to
20. Albany has raised 10,000 and more.
If Portland will give $10,000 and the
rest of Oregon $5000, the trustees of the
college are then assured of $25,000 in
the east, making in all $50,000.
St. ' Petersburg will hold an "Inter
national Exposition of the Latest In
ventions" in the spring.
