Hartford Times Washington letter.

Hartford Times Washington LetterJ
The Senate Is composed OF seventy-six
members 1t has III employees, at cost OF
S22777O annually. The House is composed
OF 500 Representatives and Delegates. 1t has
214 employees. at an annual cost OF S253, ,592,
making q difference Of S25,000 between the
employees of both branches. 1t requires two
and one-third for Sengtor, while member
Is forced to get along with three-fourths OF an
employee. It costs $4,000 in money annually
for the employee of each Senator, while for the
employee of member it costs but $3.50. This
difference Is what causes the trouble. The
Senator has nearly always taken the ground
that while the House has the right and is re-
quired to originate many measures, fix appro-
priation bills, and do work of that kind, 1t
has no right to interfere In any way with the
employees of the Senate. 1t looks as Ii the
Senate will be beaten.
