VITAL WASHINGTON NEWS.
By Tavenner. Special Washington corres
pondent of this newspaper.
.. Washington, May 18. -Representative
governmentj almost
but not quite prevails in the
national House of Representa
tives. ! t
Although still lobjectionable.as
passed by the House,! the rail
road regulation bill was discuss-
fed, amended and improved. And
it was all done in the open.
The entire membership of the
House, for a change, was per
mitted to vote on the question of
rejecting undesirable; sections.
Improvement ; of ; the bill by
amendment was also allowed.
Had the Cannon machine been
working smoothly, a . few, men
would have done the legislating
instead of the entire membership
of the House, t f P
Under the regular Cannon sys
tem of gag rule, I the railroad bill
would have been reported . from
committee under; a rule t prohibit
ing the membership of the House
from voting for or against
amendment. Bad features of the
bill could not have been elimi
nated. ; - ,v
The entire measure, jokers and
all, would have been forced down
the throat' of the House just; as
dictated by the railroad compa
nies, and just, as submitted by
"Uncle Joe's" Committee on In
terstate and Foreign Commerce.
This, committee is, packed with
men who have been aided in com
ing to Congress by t the railroads.
f The improvement of the rail
road bY in the House through
a coalition of the Democrats and
Progressives is l a cause . for re-
Ijoicingi ; But it does not 'mean
1 that the people nave realty wrest
cd control of the national law
making machinery from the
tariff trusts. Wall street and
Other forms of special privilege
which dominate the Republican
party through either the control
of local politics or by making
large campaign contributions.
The House is only the lower
branclof Congress.. The rail
road bill will not become a law as
passed by the House. The Sen
ate1 is the dominating ' half of
Congress, and it is still controlled
absolutely byVfehe greedy corpor
ate interests. .
The Senate will pass a bill con-
taming some of the very features
stricken Jrom the measures in the
House, Both f the Senate and
fiSuse'.three or fi ve, members of
each Ditlnch -ol tiongfess. t
As the majority of conferees
will be "regular" Republicans,
specially selected by Aldrich and
Cannon, it goes without saying
hat much of the good work ac
complished by the House Demo
crats and Progressives will be re.
versed. It was so with the tar
iff bill.
The finale of the railroad bill
prordses to be the Payne-Aldrich
fiasco all over again. Representa-
ive government will have given
special privilege a tight race, but in
he finish Aldrichism and Cannon-
ism will win by a nose. But why
should sueh a result be considered
strange? For what purpose do rail
roads make $260,000 contribu
tions to the Republican campaign
fund if it is not to control the Re
publican party 's legislation .
The McCall Campaign Publi
city bill has been so amended as to
provide for the publication of
campagin contributions AFTER
election, instead- of BEFORE
AND AFTER election, Publicity
of contributions after electihns is
regarded ry uemocrats as some;
thing like locking the door of the
stable after the horse has: been
stolen, Senator Burrows of Michi
gan, Chairman of the Senate Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections
very kindly : explained why the
provision for publicity ; of contri
butions before election" hadl been
stricken from the McCall bill. - If,"
said Senator Burrows, we Were
to give out the list of (contributors
prior to an election it would - mean
that unscrupulous newspapers and
presons would take advantage of
the information thus disclosed and
proceed to - denounce the candi
date on the strength of the charac
ter of the contributions mrdeT to
his campaign.'; In othe words; -if
the vpters were permitted to know
wno was putting up inc money
for the candidate's campaign theyl
might detest mm. uouia a , stron
ger argument be . presented tor

Instead of saving, any portion
of the $300.000,000 jwhicii Seiih- ,

by the .government annually
through "obsolete business:
methods, " the Phft adrninisiraiion
threatens to reak ;all records in
the history of the government in
the enormous expenditure i of
money, it looks now as if the
appropriations for this session! of
Congress would exceed the ap
propriations of the last regular, ses
sion to. the extent of about $20;
060,006; ; This win be a billion
dollar session and then some.
Congressman Charles F. Bar
clay of Pennsylvania, a Cannon
Republican, has allowed it to be
come known' that the state of his
health will not permit him to con
tinue as a candidate for re-election.
This is the ninth "standpatter"
whose ill health, due largely to
voting for the Payne-AldrichJ tariff
revision upward, has ? necessitate d
withdrawal from the approaching
congressional elections:
