TINKHAM MAKES
HEATED DEMAND
* v
WOULD REDUCE REPRESENTATION
IN CONGRESS.
Massachusetts Represetnative De
dares He Will Go to Courts
If Necessary.
Washington, Jan. 4.?Demand
that congress investigate alleged disfranchisement
of citizens in certain
states and reduce representation of
.these states through application of
the 14th amendment was made by
St . Representative Tinkham, Republican,
^ Massachusetts, at sessions today and
tonight, of the house census commit?tee,
wiikh is considering the congressional
reapportionment bill.
Should the committee refuse his
demand, Mr. Tinkham said he would
x take the matter into the courts,
even to the supreme court.
An investigation by the committee
, to determine how many citizens of
any state are disfranchised through
application ot the literacy test snouia
"*"V- be made, the Massachusetts representative
asserted, and the represeny
tation of these states reduced proportionately.
\
Mr. Tinkham was before the coonmittee
at a day session and reiterated
his demand at another session,
which lasted until late tonight.
A+ iKo <apa?mn bp nresented
what he said were ten affidavits
from*.residents of Winston-Salem, N.
CM in which they said they were de-'
aied the right to register for the November
election. The affidavits'were
all dated December 3d.
in Massachusetts, Too.
Questioning by Representative
, Brihson, Democrat, North Carolina,
brought from Mr. Tinkham that Massachusetts
had a literacy test as a
suffrage qualification, which Mr.
^ wiJ -omb c-i'rVvofoft+i'nUv fhp
IXIilUdVll daiU ??OO .
same as that of North Carolina. Mr.
^'*f1nfeham, in the course of the questioning,
said that literacy tests disfranchised
people in Massachusetts
as in &orth Carolina, and that the j
" representation of his, own state ought !
4 to be cut down proportionately.
Inclusion in tie till of legislation '
to permit the states to base their ;
-l^re&Atation on proportional voting)
f the single member district
asked by A. N. Chandler of'New-1
'ark, N. J., and C. G. Heag of Philav
deJphia. Ben C. Marsh, secretary of j
"Y^ihe Fanners' National council, also
indorsed this suggestion. Objection to
, the proportional system of representation
vms voiced by Representative '
FarfiekJ, Republican, Indiana, a mem- j
ber of the committee, on the ground j
B?3^tt it might lead to thd system of
J4 I
? coalition and combinations mjiisfc in
some continental countries. ^
Representative Barbour, Republican
(California), another member of
the comrnittee said such a system
;wou!d make for combination in favor
of one candidate arid g$ve an opportunity
for "political manipulation."
*
Many Critic* Do Not Vote.
Chairman Siege! of the committee
declared" that many of the critics of
the Democratic and Republican
parties and of congress did not vote
in either the primaries or the genelection.

ECONOMY URGED

Senate Considers Subject for Tw
Hours Drawing Many Other
Matters In.
Washington, Jan. 4.?Senato
Knox's resolution calling for $50,00'
to cover expens< incident to Presi
dent-elect Harding's inauguratio:
encountered stern * opposition in tw
hours of debate today in the senat
After airing such,subjects as inaug

the care of feebleminded persons i
Washington and conditions in En
rope, the resolution was put over un
til torn' vw.
Senate* Borah (Utah), in opposing
the resolution advocated spendin]
only $10 on the inauguration.
Senator Harding, Mr. Borah de
clared, was opposed to "ostentation
display and would avoid it if he cotiln
have his way." The Idaho senato
predicted that congress would bi
asked to spend several hundred thou
sand more and that, with expensei
of the states and civic organizations
the total inauguration cost would rui
? cm nnn nnn ,
up tu ^XjWwjwvv.
This would be a "national enrbar
rassment" and would have to 'be "an
swered for," Senator Borah declared
adding that with a million men ou
of employment, every economy
should be exercised. A senator wh<
had just returned to the senate aftei
a long absence, he said, has predict
ed that 4.000,000 men would ibe un
employed by February 1.
Rpnator Knox insisted that the pro
posed expenditure was customarj
and decent and appropriate.
"We have even shorn the president
of ancient prerogatives," Senatoi
Knox continued, jocularly. "Presi
dent Lincoln in 1861 turned am
kissed 34 young ladies representing
the 34 states."
"Jeffersonian simplicity" was urg
ed by Senator Fletchef, Democra'
(Florida), and Senator Knox sug
g;ested that . Senator Fletcher brinj
Jeffersonian simplicity down to date
by reading the expense^ account *jj
the presidential trip to Paris."
Supporting the $50,000 appropria
tion,' Senator Reed, Democrat, Mis
souri, declared that " the Jefferson
ian eruption* appears on the Skins oi
some Democrats only when in th<
minority." He added that he de
sired to "exonerate President Lin
coin of the charge of kissing 34
young ladies/' adding that the affaii
wjas public and without expense.
THE GLAD CHRISTMAS TIME
% UNION SCHOOL HOUSE
* _ . i ... . ... .
i
I Editor The Herald and News:
v 1 ? ??? in o eViir>o
XOU Iltt V C. pUV\.lllC ill U
I have to "blow my own horn." Hac
you told me in time that your cai
was not behaving very well I wouk
have freely got my son to come uj
after you and brought you down tc
the Christmas tree at Union schoo
house on Christmas eve.
Evidently you saw by that sack o1
potatoes that the children were expecting
you there. The teacher was
expecting you there, the congrega
tion which consisted of a good num
ber of our community were expect
ing you there and the "old man'
himself vfaio had a nice oyster din
ner prepared for you was expecting
you there. i
The whole fact is the teacher hat
asked me to make a little talk or
this occasion in addition to what yoi
would have to say and if you had jus
known you could have gotten anothe]
sack of potatoes if you had hired {
transfer and come on and took th<
job off my hands.
I want to show you how sooi
things can get "in a whirl" when the;
begin to go wrong. The exercise;
were to begin promptly at 1 o'clocl
p. m. I waited at my home until tin
hour for beginning. I then phonei
to see if you were on the way an<
Mrs. Aull told me to go ahead wit]
the program that it would be impos
sible for you to be there. When ou
boy went out to his Ford, turned th
switch on and the wheels began roll
j ing and it wasn't many minutes unt:
we were on the way.
We thought we would take th
nearest route and the roads were
little muddy and slick so it wasn'
long before we were lodged betwee
two hills and every time we woul
make a forward start we would sto
about half way up the hill and i
seemed as if the wheels were spir
ning about 47 times a second an
we were not moving a peg.
But you remember I had alread
told you "that where there is a wi
is a wav." So old Mrs. W
made a suggestion that we use th
"works of nature" and let our bo
remain with the "art of man." An
our efforts were not in vain for w
safely pulled up to the school hous
where we found the exercises ha
only been; delayed three-quarters o
an hour. As we entered the school !z
house we found the Christmas tree t
had been beautifully decorated and i
filled with a good number of pres- t
ent.s for the children and it wasn't i r
long until the exercises began 'with t
a song "Silent Night" by the chil- *
dren. This song was very appropriate
for the occasion and beautiful- (
ly sung. Then came the fatal hour t
for me to got busy and face the aud- j,
ience. Well I tried in mv humble ,
r
0 way to interest them with a few j
thoughts in the way that God had
been so faithful in fulfilling his prom- ^
ise after four thousand years had !,
passed in sending his only son into | *
'' the world that we might be saved i
' and that our Saviour's whole life rep-]'
f J c
" resented humility, love and peace on!
"earth.
. <
L_ I also tried to show them how our j
school spirit was increasing through- ^
rr out our state. That our state super?
intendent of education was "brim- ^
ful" and that also our county super- ^
intendent was full and overflowing (
s and our teacher is right up on the j
j j& using every effort in her power j
r to show what could be done at Union j
BI academy. So it is only a matter now
I-with the trustees and natrons to putt,
s into practice what you have been '
^ preaching, JVlr. Editor, these marfy j
1 long years and that is the spirit of {
cooperation and I really believe sucft'u
. a spirit is beginning to strike a pret- j f
. ty heavy blow "on Union school.
, After the conclusion of my little; ^
t say the house was darkened and the a
j tree was lighted up which made a a
) beautiful appearance.
r Then Gld Santa came in loaded J
- with other present and they were I
- also put upon the tree and a distri- jt
bution was made by old Santa from)a
-the tree which made the children all a
1 "happy and glad."* t
Then the children and some of the i
c older ones enjayed a cake Walk. c
r There was also a small fish pond s
' which was s?on fished dry, which i
amounted to a small sum of $5.50
' that will be used in the way of repairs
on the building. ^
These little community gatherings
are worth all the time we give them.
It helps us to brighten up and shake ^
' off some of our old selfish ideas and
^ put on new and better thoughts. And
the man or woman who turn up
their nose against anything that
tends to the social side of life is *
Q
simply a pest to the world at large. *
