TWO LARGE MOVES
\ TO BE MADE SOON
When Apportionment Comes Under
New Census Figures Republicans
Will Try to Retfuce.
Washington, May 29.?Two big
and interesting political moves are in
contemplation by the majority of
congress within the near future, this
majority now being of the Republican
persuasion.
One of these has in mind the cutting
down by the senate or practical
Jy all committees, wfcicn are unaer
the control of the minority, so that
there will be only working committees,
as now constituted under Republican
control, remaining.
The house and senate are full of;
c6nmittees?just how many of them
regular, irregular, special, standing,
sitting and other kinds no man under
the blue canopy of heaven could possibly
tell?and with the exception of
about six in the senate and an equal
number in the house, some of them
except to give somebody a chairmanship
with the power ana patronage
that goes with it are funtlonless and
rarely ever meet. In fact, there are
many which are said to have no regc

Strictly speaking there are aboul
60 committees in the house and ar
equal number in the senate. At present
with the Republicans in power
they hold all the good places anc
only give the Democfats?the minority?such
assignments as amount t(
little but patronage distribution anc
the employment of secretaries anc
clerks. I
It is now proposed to cut out al
these functionless committees, and i1
this is done the Democratic clerk:
and other attaches would, of course
los^ their sinecure jobs around the
capitol.
Of course, even from a Democratic
standpoint, it might be a good thing
to do away with these committees
which in many instances are avowedly~for
the purpose of supplying jobs
for wortty constituents, if, thereby
these salaries might be saved. Say
for instance, if 50 such committes
should be eliminated eacn at a use
less cost of $2.0UU eacn, a considerable
amount would be saved.
However, the miriprity, now th(
Democratic element, does not approve
of this plan and a good sizec

Another interesting political move
j which is certain to bring out much
, sectional feeling is the reapportion.
ment bill which must come up in con |
gress and be acted upon in the very
[ near future.
There is considerable misapprehenj
sion concerning the manner tn which
j the reapportionment bill, and the j
[ method of determining the. number of
members of congress is flxecr.
I Every ten years congress must
^ pass such a bill. When the last bill
} was passed it was agreed that the
number of people in eacn congres[
sional district should be, so far as
possible, 111,436, and now it will!
, soon be time to consider the matter
I again.
' The new census will undoubtedly
make it necessary either :o add a
5 number of members to the house or
if this is to be prevented tuei^ congress,
at an early date, pass a law so
| cutting down the number in the
house by increasing the number of
people in each district so that there
shall be no new members.
After congress passes its reapportionment
bill then the states deteri
mine each for themselves how many
districts there shall be oner arrange
, their geographical lines. And right
i here is shown much interesting geographical
history. Many states have
been "shoestringed" from time to
time to meet the political exigencies
of the day, according to what party
?Republican or Democratic?hap
pened to be in power at the time
Sometimes it is desirable to place al
the voters of one party either in one
district so that their activities may
be confined to that area, wnlle, on
the other hand, it %haa not infrequently
bee^ found expedient to "
scatter them. These terms are vari 1
ously used?sometimes tne word
"shoestring" being preferable to
"gerrymander" which is another one
often/resorted to in such cases.
There are manifestations that when
congress takes up tne bill to fix its
apportionment there is "certain to be
much interesting discussion. A
glance at the personnel of the committees
already justifies such conclusion.
The house census/committee is now i
I without a chairman, but it Is not im- j
| probable that the reapportionment ]
[ bill will be under the supervision of
Langley, Republican, of Kentucky, j
The Southern Republicans would not ]
in the least regret seeing their Dem- 1
ocrati6. brethren cut off the lists. !
FL1MY, FLOATY, FROCKS J
New York Times. **?
Summer dresses for evening have
something quite new about them. ,
They have discarded the .heavily
beaded and brocaded and velvet effects
of a past winter and are
chiefly, notable for the airiness of
their charm. They -look as though
they might be made of mist rather
than of substantial materials certain
to stand the test of a number 1
of wearings. Chiffon is the favored
material?and chiffon in such
colors! They can hardly be called;
. colors;'indeed they are mere
I tints?only suggestions of color
made more illusory because of the j
filmy ways in which they are drap-!
ed and hung together. It takes!
really artistic work to fashion one!
of these evening gowns, for all th :
charm lies in the way the folds are j
placed in the draping of the filmy,
layers of sheer material. S
Sometimes the palest of pearls or
string of rinestones are combined
with these chiffon evening frocks t<
give them more of sparkle or emphasize
the delicacy of their construction.
Sometimes also touches
of hand made flowers are worked j
discreetly into the design of thej
frock.
Lace is also used to advantage in
the designing of these newer
evening^ gowns. And it is the real
lace, too, for with delicately colorer
chiffons it loses none of its ef
feet. There are panels of the heavier
variety; there ate tiny capes
and whole bodices made from it. In
j fact, it has been used in every con
ceivable way on summer evening
gowns, and it can most properly be
called the most favored trimming
of the season, if the half of a gown
can be referred to as trimming.
It is proposed by some half-serious
joker in the British house of
commons that since the United
States congress has "resolved" that
England should free Ireland, the
house of commons should in turn
"resolve" that the United States
should free the Philippines.
