What Congress is Doing

The system of legislative procedure
in the house of representatives was
severely criticised in that chamber
Tuesday by Mr.. Murdoch of Kansas.
He declared it to be all wrong and
asserted that under it the vitality of
initiative in the individual in his rep
resentative capacity was being sapped.
He has his share of the responsibility
in a majority vote on non-partisan leg
islation," he asserted, but he has lit
tie or no voice in determining the
question upon which he shall vote ex-
cept in purely partisan matters"

its name is connected with a building
