COL. HEPBURN TELLS
HOW TO MEND RULES
Iowa Insurgent Would Permit the Speaker to Name But
One-hird of the Committee Members Would
Elect All Chairmen

Representative W. Z. Hepburn OF
Iowa who long has been an insurgent
against the present ru.es % tise House,
has indicated iH a recent interview the
changes that he believes ought 10 be
made in these rules
In view Of Colonel ucpburn's known
anita eouism 90 the rites and his prom
hence in the House, his suggestions are
likely TO receive serious consideration
from those members who are anxious
at ,he time OF the organization ot the
next House 10 force some changes that
VIII make the power of the Speaker less
absolute and autoCratic.
Colonel Hepburn proposes, in the first
place, 10 limit the Speakers appoint
Ueut Of committees to oue-third Of those
members. the caucus of the majority
party naming o third, and the minority
party naming the other third. The nam
ing OF committee members is the source
Of the Speakers greatest influence. and
III he were allowed 70 name but a third
OF the members OF the committees, Col
.Onel Hepburn thinks his power would be
greatly curtaiied.
a second change that Colonel Hepburn
would bring about is the uamiHgf OF
the chairmeu Of committees by the COM
mittees Themselves. instead of permit
ting the Speaker to designate them.
In the third place, Colonel Hepburn
would require a call of committees two
or three times RI week, thus giving Them
q chance 20 present bills for Tho con-
slicEatiou 1l the House, End not having
30 wait for the consent OF the Speaker.
While the rules now provide for .al
of the committees lu recent years lliT
CaIl has been omitted
4 fourth change desired by Colonel
arF Ha d HFHa ..t la
the clause that gives the Speaker discTe-
lion ia recognizing member who rises
tJ address the House Under the pres
CUt system the Speaker recognizes 4
man or Ignores him as he pleases, and
much Of hIs great power rests on this.
With the changes iu the rules sug-
gr@trd hv Colonel Hepburn. there is not
much doubt the situation in the House
The Washington times., 1908-12-03

would be improved greatly over what
IL Is * present.
Ordinarily, when the new Congress
opens. motion r. made TO adopt the
rules Of the old House as the rules of

with no consideration This time. how
