NEW CONGRESSMAN FROM MAINE FIGHTS INCREASE IN HOUSE eaSBaasaaaBseeBSBBBaaBaBBBasjajBaSBaSasB Washington. Nov. I. (WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNALO Representative Carroll L. Beedy, a new , congressmen from Maine, made a nota VI a apech on congressional apportion mant when that aubjec waa before the houM. Main ia on of the atatea that baa fallen behind In the race of popu lation, and will lose one of her four members, whether the house remains at 411 or la increased to 4S0. "Permit me to say that if the food of the country demands that further in creases In the membership of this house cease. Maine doea not ask this house to aava her a member." aald Beedy. "Maine la ready to pay the price" Backed by other members from Maine. Baedy struck out boldly acainst any Increase In membership. Ife pointed out one after another Of the Infirmities Of the house because of Its unwieldy alae. lie appealed against addition to the difficulties which have already lost tha house' much of Ita Influence, and enhanced the Importance of the senate. SHOULD II ATE TAKES STAXD "kong since the house should have taken a bold stand and limited Its membership." he said. "But then aa now. there were those who declared that when the house had attained a membership exceeding 300 the addition of SS members, more or leaa, made lit tle) difference. "It la a sad truth, that thia house has 1 already lost the moat esaential char acteristics of a deliberative body. Hera upon thia floor., were once effectively debated those tsauea vital to tha fu ture of this republic. Here waa tha forum of th people where federal poU ciaa were in truth susceptible of modi fication. TOO U5WIELDT ALREADY "The committee admits nee dof a closer touch with congress, but recommends an Increase of 25 members, a step which rendera thia house more Incapable of beapeaklnf the public will. For the average cltiaen there can be no relief until larger possibilities for amendment on tha floor of the house obtain. Re straint! and limitations now Imposed by neeeeelty, and doubtless properly so, coasidering tha else of thia house, for bid thoughtful discussion. The very at mosphere of thia chamber dlscouragea attempts to induce the members of the ho on to action through debate. "The time haa indeed arrived when tot the good of the jaation we must take a firm atand upon thia impoatant laaua and put a atop to a further In crease In the house membership.. ' "JMFBOPER, IHIQUITOCS" "But do I hear It said that thia bill should pass In order that the Repub lican party may Increase Its" member ahlp on the floor? Such a suggestion Is Improper and Iniquitous. The Demo cratic membership of this houae knows . full well that the American people will never aanctlon such tactlca. Thia leg islation should In no way aavor of party politics. If the leadership of thia houae w la hen to place the Republican mem bership In the position of making thia a party matter, then be the price upon nis own head. The day of petty poll- tie la gene." DEFEAT BILL The votes of Beedy and his three Main colleagues defeated the 360 bill. . sending It back to the census committee for further consideration. Their posi tion la that Maine will ask no favors, and although one of them will be forced out of congress, they will stand against any Increase In the membership of the heuse. National Guardsmen In Peaceful Attack Collect Old Clothes Under the direction of Major 3. F. Drake a peaceful attack was made Sunday morning on the people of Port land by the Oregon National Guard.
