If he Lad no legislative duties to perform he would find his whole time well em­ ployed In taking cure of the mall, und the requests for service which the mails bring tn.

He ls proud of the big bunch of mall that comes in and ls pleased to see a big bunch go out at the close of the day A big mall indicates a close touch with home.

Home Problem of Members. One of a congresman's little troubles is the home problem, getting a house to live In. Washington Is the highest priced city In the country. Property and rents are high. If a man is there alone he can live at a hotel. If he has a family he must have a house or an apartment The hotels are high priced. The houses and flats are out of sight. What members pay for houses of course depends upon what they get and want to pay. Several members pay $7,500 a year rent, and quite a number pay from $3,000 to $5,000. Of course they do not live on their salaries. They get something from back home. The members who try to live on their salaries, or nearly so, pay from $150 to $250 a month for a furnished house. And you don't get us much in Washington for $200 a month as you can get In Colorado cities for $50. Within the moderate prices, houses ar« very hard to get and usually un­ desirable. Most residence property tn Washington Is built In rews—house* In solid blocks like store buildings. They are usually 17 to 20 feet wide, three stories high with three rooms on each floor, windows only In front and back, a front yard 10 or 12 feet deep. » I a % »y You would receive flu , same cordial, courteous ' f^roent as extended bt , this store.
