TEAM WORK
Whom does your representa
tive represent? This is a fair
and timely question, moreover,
not as silly as it sound.s. He is
supposed to represent you and
a few thousand other people in
your county and nearby coun-,
ties, but does he do it? If so,!
how does he go about it? How1
does he know what the peoph
who elect him think abou
questions he must help decide'
Of course, congressmen al
have plenty of people to tel
them what to do. Whenever <
congressman is appointed to ai
important committee, he can b<
sure of one thing: a line wil
form to the left outside hi:
door; peiple waiting to tell hirr
which side of his bread is but
tered, show him very startling
statistics, shout scare-words in
his ears and shed tears on his
desk.

! miscellaneous people, very much
like lines that form in cafeter
: ias or at ticket-office windows,
usually nobody is there you
know or really want to see. But
when the unusual occurs; when I
somebody from back homfe falls
in line at a congressman’s door,
he gets admitted to the repre
sentative’s own private office.
Why? The congressman wants
to see him.
!
Representatives are elected and
I sent to Washington to represent
the people back home. I know

j I have known a great many
Every one I ever knew wanted
; sincerely to do that very thing.
| They were smart men but there
was not a mind reader in the
bunch. They couldn’t sit in
j Wshington and have a very good
idea what the electors expected
of them.
THE RIGHT APPROACH
In a few words, the average
congressman gets plenty of ad
j vice offered to him and very
little of it comes from the right
place. In rare instances, when
; somebody writes or wires him
fi om back home the message
! represents one man’s hasty, per
! haPs empassioned, judgment; or
sometimes when they come in
big bunches they plainly reflect
a frame-up—written by one man,
signed by many.
„ People who know how to walk
. in crowded streets and build'
t
, their homes in layers, sometimes
[ make facetious references to
[ Arkansas but we are doing
l something about congress down j
, here Just before Thanksgiving I
Ja group of 60 important men of1
L Batesville and thereabout held a
, meeting to consider some na
tional legislation soon to be con
sidered by their representative.
At the end of the meeting they
mailed him their advice ac
companied by a list of those
l present.
NOT AN ACCIDENT
The gathering was no kind of
a coincidence. Somebody called
the meeting and made sure that
it was conducted in an orderly
fashion. Arrangements were
made to have some impartial
expert opinion on hand to an
I swer questions, explain techni
cal terms if necessary and speed
j up deliberations. The matter un
der discussion was something
soon to come up before the com
mittee of which their congress
**Vou bring a!l the stuff I put the
I ic on you for and I’ll leave a
! '' bowlful of Whearies on the
/‘t*r you!”
man is a member,
I would like to com^rnend this
method to public spirited and
patriotic citizens everywhere. It
is easy enough tor men who
don’t even know their represen
tative’s name to lean against a
gate-post (or a lamp-post) and
revile Congress. On the other
hand, helping out a congressman
whom you know wants to do the
right thing is loyalty, teamwork
and citizenship of the first or
der.
