The Increase IN membership. and the agi-
tation for & change IN the rules restoring
opportunity for real elaboration in trans
acting legislative business has contributed
10 the belief nat the internal arrange
ment of the chamber should be altered
The two reforms really go hand In hand.
for the acknowledged purpose OF the
change is not only the physical well-being
Of members. but also the facilitation Of
debate and intelligent action by the
House itself upon legislative matters. It
would be Illogical 10 afford better physical
opportunity for debate while throttlIng
it and hamDering the freedom Of the
House BY arbitrary and tyrannicai rules.
We may venture to hope. therefore. that
with improved acoustics and ventilation
the House win free itself from the IN
worthy and unnecessary restraints i'm
posed upon its action fy ahe existing
rules. A Small beginning has been made
in this direction. which ought to grow to
larger things.
