COMMITTEE AS VICIOUS.
Senator Elsberg Says Rules Committee Is a
Dangerous Institution.

Albany, April Ex-senator Elsberg, of the "Inde-
pendent Republicans, made a formal statement
to-day at the close of the session. He said in part:
The present legislature has been the most notable
that has assembled in Albany for many years. 1t
has at least extent emancipated itself from
the control of outside influences. and has pointed
q way freedom and independence for other legiS
latures TO follow That the first effect of revival
of independence has been to bring some new in
fuenCes to the front as inevitable as that poor
literature is the first accompaniment OF revival
OF learning. For the good accomplished. justice
must assign large share OF credit to the initiative
and guidance of Governor Oden, whose record is
one of which all good citizens may we'll be proud.
l cannot dismiss the subject, however without
drawing attention to the most vicious and danger
institution that exists under the State govern
ment to-day. l refer to the Rules Committee OF the
Assembly and to its arbitrary and improper powers.
as q result of which five men are practically in
control Of all legislation during the last ten days
OF the session To the abolition of this institution
ali good men should direct their efforts, because
good things and proper results In legislation are
impossible as long II continues. Let the agita-
tion begin now and continue until. when the Assem-
bly, convenes next year. its rules will be changed
and the Rules Committee. with its power for evil
during the days of the legislative session, will
be abolished and popular government In the lower
branch of the legislature restored.
