COMMITTEE BERTHS
PLEASING TO WEST
Excepting to La Toilette,
Eastern Senators Are
Very Generous.

In the distribution of committee as
slgnments among the Senators. the
West gets a measure Of recognition
which nobody dreamed would so 10 it,
and a good deal Of the responsibility Is
placed upon the agitation of Senators
La Toilette and BUrkett- Contrary TO
all expectation, the powers of the cham
Der decided to recognize the protest
which these two Senators had voiced
against the alleged usurpation of power
by the Eastern and older Senators
Mr.. Burkett benefits by the Teorgan-
ization of things in decided fashion.
He has better assignments than ever
before, but it can't be said that as much
is true of La Toilette. While they were
willing to placate other people with
grievances, the Senatorial elders were
not ready to make any concession at all
to Mr. la Toilette.
The Committee on Committees, which
made the assignments, consisted of six
men from west of the Missouri, and
three from east Of it. That was start
ling and unprecedented, and presaged
the thing which happened larger
recognition Of the West IN the better
committees. The three Eastern men
were Aldrich, kean, and Crane. Those
from the West were McCumber OF
North Dakota, Curtis Of Kansas, Dixon
of Montana. BOrah of Idaho, Sutherland
of Utah. and Flint OF California
Senator's Aldrich and Hale are credited
with leadership in this effort to pla-
cate the opposition to their rule. Mr..
Hale named the Committee on Com
mittees, in his capacity as chairman 'Of
the Republican caucus.
He gave assurances in advance of the
caucus fact which has only now be
come pubuc-that if ne were allowed 10
name the committee he would give the
West a majority of the members.
Everybody supposed he would divide the
committee five to four, instead ie did
still better and made il six TO three in
favor of the West.
