The election of Asher Kinds as
speaker of the house would accom-.
plish at one stroke the inevitable
reform of that body.
The present occupant Of the
speakership is a typical political
boss. On various public occasions
he has asserted that the speaker
is the head of his party in the
house, and responsible for the
business transacted; and he be-
lieves in using to the uttermost the
autocratic power which the rules
have placed in his hands to i'm
pose his judgment on the house.
Until recently he has had the
power of appointing every commit
tee of the house and thus con-
trolled the standing and influence
of every member OF the house;
and, as though this were not suf-
ficient. he has been virtually the
committee on rules--the chairman
of it himself and selecting his as
sociates thereon. Through this
committee the speaker could se-
cure a complete suspension Of the
rules; select bills to be considered
and cut off amendment and debate.
AS If this were not sufficient, the
speaker exercised a discriminatory
power in recognizing and refusing
to recognize members upon the
floor. No such arbitrary and enor-
nous powers are vested in aIH
other officer under a supposedly
free government. He was in a po-
sition to dictate the laws of ma
ton and he exercised ii. Further
more he exercised II to defeat
