Whenever, in some reform spurt, the people waken to their obligations and privileges as citizens, there is very d> fin te progress made. in the current Fvery body's Maga zine, there is an article by Frederick ('. Howe, which every citizen should ponder. Among tilings, he says: "The trouble with congress is that it does not represent us, the peo ple. It represents only a part of Hie people. And the task before us, the people, is to make con gress represent us; all of us; not a few of us; not a part of us; not even the best of us; but all of us. And tlie way to make congress represent all of us if for each of us to see to it that his congressman represents him. That means you. It means me, too. and the other fellow; and some of us will do our part. But every body I meet seems to have this question on his conscience: “What can I do?” Here, then, is something for you to do I ilia year. You can help to make your next congressman repre sent us. And tlie way to begin is to ask in your own mind, and then in your own mind to answer, this question: Does my present congressman rep resent. me?” lias lu distributed the burden of taxation fairly? Has he provided that certain qua si-public functions shall l>e carried on in the interests of all the people? Has he safe guarded your interests as an agent should? Has ho been your delegate in our common business at Washing ton? In other words, lias he represent ed you and me? Tills, our question, is being asked in one form or another all over the country. It is being asked in the shop, on the farm, in the count ing room, and on the street. It is being asked at. the primaries and in the conventions. And it is being asked at the polls, in some places. Old agents have been replaced by new ones in Massachusetts, and in New York, because the answer was not satisfactory. Now you can find the answer to some forms of this question in the Congressional Record by scrutinizing the roll call. The Record does not tell the whole story. It does not tell how measures are strangled in committees, how they are amended and altered; it does not tell the story of the subterranean tricks em ployed to control the House through Cannon and the Rules, and the Sen ate through Aldrich. But the Rec ord will tell you what your agent did on critical occasions such as the Rules fight in the House, the Payne Aldrich tariff bill, and the Wicker sham railway measure. And you have a right to know this, and to act. upon it. Your congressman tit Washington ought to represent you. not only be cause this is a government of the people, but because you reward him in honor and money. America is almost the only civilized nation whose government is supported by a sort of poll tax on the people, Ex oepi for the recent tax on corpora tions have gone Into the courts tc defeat, none of the things taxed in most of the countries of the world— property, wealth, privilege, in comes, inheritances-—is naturally tax ed in this country. Almost alone Vmerica taxes the weak rather than the strong, necessity rather than ability, consumption rather titan wealth. And the average man pays much more than his share, for he uses almost as much sugar and meat and food stuffs as the rich. He wears almost as many coats and shoes, and uses almost as much tobacco and beer. This is why I say you support the government at Washington. Yov pay the members of congress. You pay the pensions, build the warships contribute to the “Pork Barrel.’ You are building the Panama Canal and the post offices. You are making tlie river and harbor improvements You pay for the president's junkets For this, if for no other reaosn, you have a right to expect your agent at Washington to represent you. As « business man, you would discharge him if he did not do so. And il he represented your competitor. 01 gave away your goods, or plundered your safe, you would not only dls charge him, hut would set the grand jury in motion to proescute him as well.’’ The talented writer of these words is himself an eminent example ol the man of conscience and integrity interesting himself in civic affairs and this fact adds weight to his earnest words.—Ex.
