After Twenty Years Struggle, SEN
ATE Now Rules House.

IL. A. Coolidge in Ainslee's.)
For twenty years the Senate has
been gaining on the House. 1t has
seized one advantage after another
until it has things about its own way
Its limited membership and unlimited
debate give individual senators free
play. The House has grown SO big
that IL has been compelled to cut off
debate and put arbitrary power in the
hands of the Speaker. 1t has to act
promptly as a unit If 1t is to act at
all. On questions of legislation where
serious differences arise with the Sem
ate IL frequently has to take a meas
ure or reject II just as 1t stands. 1t
originates legislation. 1t sends a bill
over to the Senate and the Senate
amends 81. II Is in the power of a
small group of senators, and sometimes
at the close Of a session. in the power
of single senator. TO prevent the pas
sage Of any bill. There are times when
any senator with small following,
by threatening long debate, can COM
pei amendments which are satisfac-
tory to him. A measure, thus amend
ed so as 10 insure the support OF ma
jority of the Senate, goes back 10
the House where IL originated. II II
Is a measure involving. party policy
the House has TO take II or else run
the risk Of sending IL back to the Sem
ate again with amendments that will
arouse limitlesg discussion imperilling
it's fate, In nine cases out Of ten the
House, under protest, will accept the
Senate amendments rather than run
the risk Of defeating the bill altoeeth-
err. and right here Is where a master
OF legislation like Aldrich has his pow
er. Having secured the kind OF a bill
he wants In the Senate he convinces
the House that 4 must take that or
nothing"
