This bill provided that the labor commissioner should be G. Y. Harry. Who should receive a salary of $2400 a year nnd should be allowed mot to exceed $10,000 per annum for expenses of the bureau.

SENATORS OPPOSE WISH OF THE PEOPLE Twenty-nine States Have Declared for Ejection ot Senators Direct Vote. by Washington, Feb. 13. Twenty-nine of the 45 states have declared through their legislatures for the election ol ernators by direct vote of the people Some of these states have gone fnr enough to ask for n constitutional convention in that particular. Should 30 states apply under the constitution that is, two-thirds of the states congress would have to provide a con stitutional convention. But the appli cations would have all to be made at once, according to the present under standing. Those states which have a3ked that a constitutional Amendment be sub mitted for the election of senators by popular vote are: Arkansas, Califor nia, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Lou isiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missis sippi, Montana, xNobrnska, Nevada New Hampshire, North Carolina. North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsyl vania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah. Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. It is almost impossible to say what senators have failed to carry out the wishes of iheir states In this regard, because there has never been n vote direct or Indirect, upon this subject. Many efforts have beer, made to obtain a voto.iut all have proved futile. The proposition has been made to dis charge the committee on privileges and elections and refer tho considera tion of the subject, but some way It 1 as been p.issed over without a vote The commiitee on privileges and elec tions has once or twice reported the resolution adversely, because a major ity of the committee was against It. and it has been called up for discus sion in the cenate, but nover has there been a vote upon tho proposition to kI.ow how the senators stand. They Dodge a Vote. As with all other matter upon which a majority of the senute does not wish a record vote, the majority has boon busy to prevent such a vote being taken, knowing that It could not pass. It wns easy to displace this subject before the senato legislation, it it once sot before the senate as the unfinished business, but the resolu tion has never got to that point yet, nnd it is doubtful whether It will ever he voted upon dliectly. Many senators are perfectly willing tn exnress their opinion on tho sub- joct, but there are quite a number who are very pronounced In their views, such as Hoar, Dopew, Pettus and others, who are strongly opposed to (he resolution, while Burrows, Bev erldge, Blackburn and some others are In favor of it. TJhese men are mem ber's of the committee on ptivileges and elections, which has the matter In charge. During the last session a resolution was discussed In the committee, and it would have been reported favorably, but Depew tacked on an amendment which provided that, in case the reso lution should be ratified, it should pro vide for an inquiry into all methods of election in every state, as to whether voters were denied the privi lege of voting. This, of course, turn ed all the Southern men against the resolution. They were willing to vote out V straight proposition from tho committee, but tho republican majori ty voted the Depew amendment on, and then the senators who were op rosed to tho election by direct vote and those who were opposed to the De pew amendment prevented the reso lution fiom being reported. The mat lei was discussed some time In the cennie and then dropped. Mitchell's Vain Efforts. According to tho present outlook, unless tho personnel of the senate rliould change very materially there i!i no possibility of tho passage of the lesolutinn providing for the election of senators by direct vote. When Senator Mitchell was chair man of the committee on privileges and elections he made every .effort to secure a direct vote upon this resolu tion. After his defeat for re-election and his return to the senato he refused a placo on this committee, although ho hnc) been a member of It nearly all the time he had been in the senate, because he was known to be favorable tp tho election of senators by dime, veto and had advocated it several times in tho senato. The committee as now constituted would favor the lesolutlon if it was in a proposition by Itself, but the tangle which the Do pow amendment has placed It will al ways make It difficult to pass such a resolution.
