12 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, ' PORTLAND, THURSDAY EVENING. JANUARY 18, 1312. OR NR GIVES I HGlON HMIIDEA Government by, Committees of : Congress Takes ; Responsl ; bility From People and They Resent Economy. ,; : ( Xiablnrtna Hurras of The Journal.) . Washington, Jan. It. In this abode of the rich and powerful which likes to rail Itself "the best governed city." and ''the most beautiful city," Indicative of -lvic complacency, the mere public ia wont to refer to it as a corporation rid den city , where the government pays one-half the coat of running things out of the public revenue derived from the taxes the rest of the country pay as internal revenue on tobacco and spirits, .or as a tariff . on . Imports. .That makes it easy for the rich, to begin- with, but with a blsr. un . tvieldly governing body like oongress to look after th Infinitesimal, minute and sometimes Insignificant affairs of the municipality, It becomes - comparatively easy Tor the "interests" to shape things to their own advantage. Washington la really governed by two committees,.. one in the senate and one Jn the house. The men on these com mittees have, of cours6 the affairs of their own states to care for. They prob ably, have other Important committee work to look for, and they are supposed to, and probably do, take an Interest In th general work before congress which affects the entire country, so that even without the task of legislating for the district of Columbia, they would have more than enough to do. ; v n. '-.-. Tet these committees are expected to do what a city council ordinarily does for the municipality. There are three district commissioners who constitute a sort or tripartite mayor, but they. are really , heads of departments, one, for instance, beingthe city engineer with me litis or "engineer commissioner." . One of the members of the senate committee on the District of Columbia happen to be Senator Work of Call fornia, a man of pronounced "progres sive-tendencies, who has stepped in to diock tne reign or the corporations In Washington. He was asked the other aay to give his sanction to legislation pending in the committee affecting cor porations, and he gav his colleagues a shock when he said that he could not approve It until he had time to rive It careful consideration, r He took th bill away and after perusing it he was more man ever convinced that s he . had smelled a mouse." for he told soma of his friend that he proposed drawing a bill of his own which should give the government some control over the cor porations instesd of giving the corpora. lions control over the district.. A Bnrpriaina Attitude. ? ' This was enough to five a severe shock to the other committeemen, and even more so it proved a disagreeable sur prise to the district's rich men who own th corporations that gaily ignore the right of the mere pubulo. However, Senator Works, unlike some of the other men who have declared themselves to be possessed of noble purposes when taking ineir places on tne district committees. Is wont to stand by - his guns, even though he may experience some discom fort and Inconvenience In doing so, - Washington has been so accustomed to being fed on governmental pap that when the district committees ventured. a few day ago, to return the estimates for the annual appropriations for the district with some of the preposterous demands pruned out, but yet With suf ficient lert to make tho total 110.302.- 208, the papers of Washington heaped abuse on th committees, calling them many things which did not sound nice. Th reduction amount to about 11,750,- doo, ana tnis "a res tic" action la charged by th local press to the "cheeseparing economy of the Democrats in the house. To put It mildly." say one paper, "the pruning knife has been applied without sense or reason." !;: .:',,. 1 As congress appropriates one-half of i the cost of running the district out of the" public purse, the balance being met by taxation, the people of Washington naturally. Ilk to see the city budget made a fat as possibl for' then the money is put Into local circulation. AUSTRALIAN TRADE " AGENT OPENS NEW DOOR TO DEALERS ? ' ,f:..ii Is a vital necessity. .

The government has gone Into Irrigation on a tremendous scale. In New South Wales there are, roughly, he says, 300, 000,000 acres. Of this amount only 60.-. 000 acres have so ' far been Irrigated, The government has recently acquired 1.044.O0O acres which; It will irrigate from a, great storage dam. The -first unit of the Protect will Include 850.000 acres. The remainder will be irrigated a fast as practicable and land will not be opened to the people until the water is there, v. it win men grow rruu ana alfalfa, and dairying, will be largely en gaged In. the wisdom of it, and the , dairymen are now the. most ardent supporter of me law. . ,;s ...

' v , , ' ' ? t i it .;. - - v Heretofore the representatives of the Street Railway have led us 'to believe that the Sandy line was to be double-tracked as far out as Seventy-second street.- Last night we were advised that this, double track would only be laid to the spur that runs down to the Country Club. v- ; ? . The lot owners of this district who signed up for1 hard surface streets out to Seventy-second street did so with the understanding that the carline was to be double-tracked to. that point. Should this franchise go through for the Street Railway Company it will be entirely up to their own will as to whether a single track or double track shall be placed on the Sandy road, and In view of the fact that in the past their attitude in this respect has been entirely antagonistic to the needs of this district, we suggest that strenuous effort be made at once to defeat this fran- , chise before the committee, and to this end we ask all customers in that ' district to cut out the coupon below and bring it or mail it immediately to our office, giving us full authority to act for them in obtaining what is right for the residents of this district. : In addition to this, do your best to see your councilman, Mr. William Schmeer, with the Schmeer Furniture Co.," First and' Yamhill 'streets, city. Mr. Schmeer is not only a representative in the council, but is a member of the committee before whom this franchise will appear. The balance of the committee (are Mr. George L.
