In another column we reproduce a short article from the Oregon Journal upon the wisdom of reduc ing the membership of our national house of representative« The arti cle is timely for a new apportion ment <>f house memliera will tie due in a few months. Our national senate is composed of two members from each state, giving a total of 96 memliera Nor can this numlier be increased except by a change in the federal constitu tion. regulating the numlier from each state, which is very unlikely. The house of representatives is supposed tn be made up of one mem ber from each state and the balance to be apportioned as population in creases. and the total of the mem bership is now about 435. In the minds of the public and many of the memtiers this large body has Iwcome cumbersome, unwieldy, and is not productive of the best results. New members will increase the number unless the law regulating th* ap portionment o f membership i a changed. At (he present time nearly all the bills passed by this large body is upon the recommendation of a com mittee of no more than 15 members Upon the second reading of a bill it la referred to thia or that committee for consideration. In due time, unless the committee wants to squelch the measure, the bill I* reported to the house with a recommendation favorable or other wise, and nine tim<-s in ten the body of the house ratifies; that is to aay. passes or rejects the bill, in accord ance with the committee's r«*com- mendalion. Thu» a half doxen of the loading members controls the legislation of our lower house of congress What are the other 400 memliers but au tomatons who simply confirm or rat ify the committee's reoort? Another most important matter to consider is the quality of men el ected as memliera of the lower house Four-fifths of the members are but very ordinary men. not qualified nor equipped a» lawmakers should tw Our national house of representa tives is degenerating rapidly. We ne«i not go from our own state to establish thia fact Our present membership establishes the truth of the statement They are pleasant, likable gentlemen, but they are not big enough to fill the places the* occupy. Several years ago our only repre sentative was Binger Hermann of Roseburg. So far as dipping into the pork barrel is concerned, he was of more value than all three of our present members. And he was re ceiving a salary of but 15000. The combined salary of our p«e*eol mem bers is *21.500.

A REPUBLICAN LEAGUE If the United State« could formu late a league of nations and the other thirty odd nations would adopt it settle international disputes by war rather than by arbitration. So the voter at the polls will lie confronted with this proportion: A vote for Harding means you favor war rather than to force nations to first try to settle disputes before a court of arbitration, while « vote for Cox means nations must try to settle by peac«-ful means of arbitra tion before going to war In other words, a vote for Harding means you are not in favor of a league at all unless it is made by the republi can parly and signad by a republi can preaident. A vote for Cox means you favor ratifying the present league with, lierhai*. explanatory reservations. The republican (tarty is thus forced into the position of living opposed to international arbitration. while the demócrata say try to settle by arbitration and let us, if ponaible, not send our voung men and boya out to breóme fodder for cannon, poison gas. nr to Iteróme victims of the submarines. without resri vationa or amendments and especially if it was formulated by the republican party, perhaps Indications are now that the coun Lodge, Borah, Johnson and Candid try market for wheat will range from ate Harding would be willing to ra *2 to *2.10 per tiunhel, oats 60 to 75 tify it.
