HOUSE UNWIELDY
SAYS IAMB;
OPPOSES GROWTH
Representative C. N. McArthur,
who left for Washington this morn
ing to be on hand for the coming
session of. congress, scheduled to be
gin next Monday, declares his oppo
sition to any and all plans to- In
crease the membership of the house.
On the other hand, . he said he fa
vors a reduction in the number of
representatives and expressed the
opinion that such a reduction would
promote both economy and effici
ency in ihe conduct of the. nation's
business., - ,:. j
"I shall vote asainat all proposals to
r Increase the membership of the house,"
said McArthur. . . v
MEMBERSHIP U5WIELDT
. 'The present membership tf 435 is
'altogether too large and unwieldy and
there is too much dodging of individual
responsibility. It has been the history
of all large legislative bodies that power
gravitates into the hands of a few lead
ers, while smaller bodies tend to devbp
Individual ability and responsibility. ,C j-l
"As matters stand, it is almost Im
possible to keep order In the house and
with the addition of 50 or 60 new mem
bers, conditions would become Intoler
able ,1 cannot predict the result of the
agitation for a larger house but I am
fully determined to oppose any and all
legislation atonic that line and, if the op
portunity presents itself, I shall vote to
reduce the membership. .
AGITATIOW, EXPLAINED
' "This agitation for a larger congress
comes from states which have failed to
keep up with the population procession
and which will lose some of their pres
ent membership if the existing quota Is
maintained. Members of 'congress
naturally do not like to vote themselves
out of office after the expiration of the
sixty-seventh congress, but the interests
of the country are mqr important, ac
cording to my way of thinking, than the
interests of politicians ; and the par
ticular states they represent,
t' "It has been " argued thaCan increase
in the membership of the house would
give . Oregon another, representative.
. .What benefit would tbts be to Oregon if
vorresponding increases were allowed in
all other states that have increased in
population since the last apportionment?
LOXGER TERM "CROEI
. "I would like to see larger delegations
from Oregon and other Western states,
but what could they accomplish If more
members were allotted to the East and
Middle West?
, "I am in favor of a constitutional
amendment lengthening the term of rep
resentatives In congress to three years
and lengthening the presidential term
to six years, with-a one term limitation.
Such an arrangement would produce
better legislation, better administration
and less small politics." -
Mrs. McArthur accompanied her- hus
band. They will reach Washington Sat
Pendleton Attacks
'Phone Company Plea
For Increased Kates
, Salem, Nov. SO. In the face of the
present condition of business through
out the country, the recent application
of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph
company ' for an increase in telephone
rates In Oregon is most inopportune,
according to an answer to the applica
tion filed with the- public service com
mission this morning by the city of
Pendleton. ?
The answer attacks the application
and declares that the increases sought,
npr any increase whatever, are Justified
under existing conditions.. It points out
that thousands .Of " men are being
thrown out of employment through the
closing down of industries, farmers are
being compelled, to sell their produce
at a loss, and many 'business men are
facing ruin, while the Pacific Tele
phone company continues to hand out
huge salaries to its numerous officials
. and big wages to . many of its em
ployes. .
Medford Growers
Back Association
And Lewis' Plans
Medford. Nov. SO. After hearing CI.
Lewis, organisation manager of the Or
gon Growers' Cooperative asaovlatiloik
talk about the aucceas of the association
during its short existence and about Its
future plans, 150 members of the local
district of the association ei pressed their
faltfcwin Lewis and his plana.
Lewis, made explanations to all sorts
of Inquiries as to th conduct ef various
features of the association's operations,
answering mild objections by two mem
bers as to the slowness of the final ra
ce tpts coming from the Bartiett pear pool
sales. He said the delay was due to
the regular course of bookkeeping and
routine. -He advised the growers to
raise as large pears as possible in 1921
as the large pear was what the public
wanted.
Lewis characterised as a near miracle
the getting together of seven bank pres
idents of Portland in a room and In
ducing them to advance 1500,000 for the
marketing of the association's fruit crop.
GIVEN
3 YEARS, PAROLED
J isunderstandlng of the California
divorce laws cost Harold G. Blakeley
a three year sentence at the hands of
Judge TaawelJ, of the circuit court
Monday on a charge of big
amy.' ' Because of the misunderstand
ing and Blakeley's good naval rec
ord, however, tlie court paroled him.
In March. 1916, Blakeley became the
husband of Eldora Hhll in King county,
Washington. She subsequently obtained
an Interlocutory decree of divorce In
California, which carries an embargo
against remarriage -inside of a year.
Blakeley married Margaret McKensie
at Vancouver, last August, which was
before the year had .elapsed. This led
to the trouble.
The district attorney urged the court
ta be lenient as Blakeley .evidently did
not realize the limiting effect of the
California divorce.
