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

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

ne«i not go from our own state to

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

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
