Washington, D. C., July 15,1 1914. A large number of the members of the house were immensely relieved when a report was quietly circulated a few days ago that Oscar Under- wood and Jim Mann have tacitly agreed to enter into sort of gentle- men's agreement that as quickly as the president's conservation bills are out of the way, which will be within the next week or ten days, there will not be any regular meetings of the house. This will enable the boys to get back into their districts and do some campaigning, something for which many of them have been most fervently looking forward to for some months. Practically all of the ap- propriation bills are now out of the way, only two or three conference re- ports yet remaining to receive the at- tention.of the house. Of the so-call- ed conservation program there are the reclamation extension act which. will likely be deposed of tomorrow, the Adamson water power bill, the ems water ptswer - b114 - the - A as coal leasing bill and the general coal, oil, gas and phosphate leasing bill. A rule has already been reported for taking up these several measures and -they will be put through the house beyond question. This will conclude Vrie'rethninistrationispagrasoos Ole house is concerned and it . is pro- posed to give the boys a little vaca- tion. Of course, the house will be constructively in, session but all that will be done will be to meet once th ee days and ad'ourn. In the meanwhile, there wil •e no res the senate. They will be grinding away on the anti-trust bills and the best information at hand is that it will be six weeks before they finish. I will be surprised -if they conclude within that limit of time for while the United States senate comprises as fine a body of gentlemen as one could run across in a day's ride, it is not particularly strong in this lit- tle matter of concluding. Whenever everybody thinks they are about to conclude, the staid and dignified sen- ators generally take another hitch at their belts and stave off the con- clusion for another week or two. I have been making some close range observations of the careful, painstak- ing and deliberate manner in which the senate operates for several months but it is long enough to_thorough l , and. never take much stock in an ly 117Fish to the • average citizen's 4 prophesies as to the length of time memnry - TE the'happy days\ of the they will require to finish any given Roosevelt administration were in re - silty rainy days, with a much dark- task.

It is my min humble opipien that RO Ong as - \Vie _senate is working, the house might as well go irking aria get some of the matters of more or less local impatience out of the way. I confess to a keen interest in a few ,matters affecting Montana which I should like to see disposed of before the session closes. The bill throwing open the former Fort Aesiniboine mil- itary reseffation to settlement and turning the post buildings over to the state for use as an industrial school has passed the senate sand is now •IiiiTsirishing in the house ',committee on military affairs. This bill ought to be passed at the present - Bessie but if the , gentleineo'a agreeta it proposition goes through, the chances will - lorsexso;edingly Mint:- The 'pro- gress of the bill has been impeded by reason of the desire of Indian Com- missioner Sells to use the post build- ings for an Indian training school ratherthan for a white school. Mem- bers of the Montana delegation -have • not yet abandoned hope of getting this bill through, but realize that they are up agit'int a hard proposition un- der the circumstances.- The reclamation extension bill will be before the house tomorrow, but it • is - hardly probable that it-cen be fin- ished in one- day in which event, it will go ovsr until Wednesday of next week when it should be otit through. h in, understood that Some of the eastern metribers, -lead . by Minerity Leader Mann will endeavor to amend the bill in several eseential particu- lars, but alfaischefforts will be bit- terly contested by 'Western' members who hope to defeat most of them. The postoffice department is exper- iencing all setts of trouble in secur- ing what it considers reasonable bids for carrying the mail over the star or stage routes of the west. The trouble arises from the operation oS the parcels post law. Before that law went into effect, star, route con- tractors were able to carry the mail at a pretty close figure since they could depend upon good profits from the express business. The parcels post has practically killed the express business and added just that much to the weight of the mail matter which the stage man has to haul. Natural- ly the contractors are demanding a lot more money for carrying the mail and this is giving the department no end of worry. There are a large number of these star routes in Mon- tana and members of the congres- sional delegation are in a position to judge of the effects of the new order of things. One contractor who has been carrying the mail for $3,600.00 per year this year submitted his bid and fixed it at $12,000.00. That is a considerable of a jump, but the con- tractor says that it is the best he can or will do. His bid is the only one for the route which serves an inland community of several hundred people. The stage owner wrote me that he was holding on until he went to his office one morning and found stacked up there about a half carload of flour in fifty pounds sacks and routed par- cels post. That was too much and he threw up the sponge. This case is typical of several important routes in various parts of the state. WANT MORE JUDGES. The legislature next winter in all likelihod will be asked to increase the number of judges on the supreme court bench from three to five. A num ser o ontana awyers are agi- tating. the matter and advance many - reasons why it should be done. The chief one 'is -.that the burden of work now imposed on the court is heavier than• any court - sheuld be made to bear, and that no tribunal in the tilted - States - has any more to do. The state constitution gives the legislature the privilege of increas- ing the number of supreme court justices from three to five any time It sees fit. Many lawyers say it was the intention of the framers to have a court o merr - SIF6rti but only ar- ranged for three members at first be- cause of the small amount of litiga- tion. , When the supreme court was cre. ated there were eight - judicial dis- tricts in Montana and only eight judges. Now there are 14 judicial districts and 28 judges. The supreme court of the United States is considered a hard-working body, one of the most hard working in fact, in the country. Associate Jus- tice Holmes has .the reputation of being the hardest working member of that hard working court. He writes approximately 31 decisions eath year. Yet each member of the Montana supreme court writes from .40 to 50 opinions annually. Though the Montana supreme court as never been reversed by the Unit- ed States supreme court, at least in the nast 15 years, some nuMiers of the bar are also urging that tho num- ber of justices be increased on. the grounds that the collective wisdom of five judges is more mature than. the collective wisdom of three judges, and that when srravejeuestions are presented before the court there will be less criticism of the decisions when considered by the larger court. • IRON WORKERS BUSY. Geerke T. Oliver is e republican and a member of the United States senate from Pennsylvania. He is al- so--the--owner- of The Pittsburgh Ga. zette-Titnea, which is a standn - et re- nublican newsnaper. Senator Oliver is not a candidate for re-election this year, but his colleague, Senator Boles Penrose, is seeking. a return to the senate. Both Senator Oliver and Senattir -Penrose are calamity howl- ers of the most pronounced type. Likewise, is The Gazette -Times a eft- liemity - howler, editorially. But__The Gazette -Times is also a newspaper; it prints the news. So, while it is yelling calamity and nredieting ruin and disaster in an effort to re-elect Senator Penrose, in its news columns • It nrints facts such as the followings \Sharon Pa., June 30.—Because of 'heavy volume of business the Pe- troleum Iron Works company is tak- ing inventory without closing a sin- gle department. At the present time the company has orders on the books amounting to $1,300,000, and -the out- look 10 better than it has been for the past year. \The Petroleum - company and its subsidiesies are operating at full capacity,uaffording empT - m - efte to -1,- 000 hands.\ , Thus the news columns of The Ga- zette -Times are in direct cor,flic.t with the editorial solumns of the paper.
