To-day as far as the enactment OF
legislation is concerned" says Mr..
Norris. '.the house of representatives
hears about the same relation to the
national government as the appendix
does to the human body--it has no
well recognized function. For all
practical Purposes our national gov
ernment. like Gaul of old. is divided
into three parts: The senate. the
president and the speaker.
This perversion of the real inten.
and object of the constitution has
been brought about 50 gradually ana
quietly that until recently the people
have not understood the method of its
accomplishment. That the speaker
possesses n power second only to the
president has been well understood By
the people at large for several years.
That nv some mysterious power he
controls the house as with a rod of
iron and at viii moves its members
like pawns about the political check
erboard Of national legislation. is
Known of all men.
The existence of this authority was
accepted by the country as IA matter
of fact and many people believed that.
by some constitutional provision or
somc enactment Of statute he had been
given the power that he had been ex-
ercising.
Members of the house OF repre-
sentatives WHO first stood off in
amazement and wondered at the sys-
tenn Of control and then searched for
his power. soon discovered that The
constitution and the statutes enacted
Hereunder had given to the speaker
no authority whatever. but that all the
power he possessed he obtained en-
tirely and exclusively from the rules
of the house.
Even in these rules II was not pos
sible to find any specific enactment
that gave to him in direct terms the
wonderful authority over men and
measures that he seemed to be in pos
session Of His control seemed to he
yet the specific authorization of his
power was more or less a mystery
