Address to Congress
have already been acted upon by the
houso of representatives: the bill which
seeks to extend greater freedom of com
bination to those cnguged in promoting
the foreign commerce of the country
than is now thought by some to be
legal under the terms of the luws
against monoHly; the bill amending
the present organic law of l'orto Kieo;
and the bill proposing a more thorough
and systematic regulation of the ex
penditure of money iu elections, com
monly called the Corrupt l'ract'ces Act.
1 need not offer my advice, that these
measures be enacted into law. Their
urgency lies in the munifest cireuui
stunces which render their adoption u1
this time not only opportune but nec
essary. Even delay would seriously
jeopard the interests of the country
and of me government.
Election Expenditures
Immediate passage ot the bill to reg
ulate the expenditure of money iu elec
tion mnv seem to be less necessary
t)in the immediate enactment of the
other measures to which 1 reter; be
cause at least two years will elapse be
fore another election iu which federal
o. .ices are to be tilled; but it would
greatly relieve the public mind if this
important matter were dealt with while
the circuinstnnees and the dangers to
the public morals of the present method
o'.' obtaining nud speudiug campaign
funds stand clear under recent observa
tion and the methods of expenditure
can be frankly studied in the light of
present experience; and a delay would
have the further very serious disad
vantage of postponing action until an
other election was at hand and some
SI,..,.:i ..Meet connected with it mitrht
who urged it. Action can be taken
now with facts for guidance an dwith-
out suspicion ot partisan purpose.

BEFORE COUNCIL
Ordering Signs at Street In
tersections, Gravel, Water,
Lights, Etc.
Minor items of business came before
tho regular meeting of tho city council
Inst night and were disposed of in
short order. One of tho items that
provoked a gentle discussion was the
resolution introduced by Councilman
Unruh to amend the rules of tho coun
cil by changing the regulation requir
ing nn unanimous voto of the council
for a bill to coma up for third rending
and passage on the same evening it is
read tho first time, to a three-fourths
vote of the council.
- Councilman 1011 iott objected to the
change in the rule and (Councilman
Moore moved moved to have it in
definitely postponed. The motion was
lost. Councilman l.'nruh declared that
the way it was one man could hold up
important legislation, even when there
was an emergency, and ho did not like
the idf of one man rule.
Councilman Ward said the argument
of Councilman l.'nruh sounded good oa
the face but it did not giv councilmen
time to consider important bills that
coma up or listen to objections of the
people. He believed it would be better
to call nt special meeting. He did not
favor introducing a bill and pausing it
tho same night und allowing blunders
to slip iu. lie declared too many ordi
nances were passed the way it is.
Councilman KUiott declared nine
tenths of the trouble, in ordinances
comes from their being passed the
same night as introduced. He said it
was not a rule of legislative bodies to
be so hasty..
Councilmuii l.'nruh replied that the
chnnge in the rule was not to mako nn
owning for ordinances to get through
but to bo used only in important legis
lation which it is necessary to get
through in one night. He did not be
lieve in special meetings of the council
nud did not think one mnn should have
the power to hold up legislation. The
resolution carried.
Oravel for North Front.
Tho request of Councilman Cook for
permission to miy lot) yards of gravel
for improving North I'ront atreet
brought an inquiry from Councilman
Ward concerning whether or not tne
city rock crusher was not working and
whether it would not be cheaper to(
have the city crush rock instead of
buying gravel. Ho said if the rock
crusher would not work why didn't the
atreet committee suy so. He could not
seo why the city could not use the
crusher and get enough crushed rock. on
hand to supply tho city for the year.
Councilman Cook informed him. it
would cost fifty cents a yard to get
gravel while crushed rock would cost
about $1 a yard. As the request re
quired a unnninious vote, Councilman
Ward voting in the negative, caused it
to bo lost, but rather than hinder the
street improvement he changed his
voto to yes nnd the request was
granted.
A bill from the water company for
supplying water for the fountain nt
the corner of State trad Liberty streets
iu the sum of $2.IS for water since
last May. He fore paying this bill it
was referred to the city attorney f(..'

the city for its payment.
