Washington. lie goes on to say that
In the last session Of Congress $4,000
bills were introduced. Were Congress
in session 800 days a year and work.
ing S hours a day. it could devote only
half an hour To each Of these meas
Ires. Where the average annual ses-
sion is five months and Congress sits
less than five hours day. each bill
could receive but eight minutes con-
sideration. The major portion of this
mass Of bills is of a private nature,
relating TO pensions and claims against
the government, but there are thou
sands of measures pertaining to gen
eral subjects, such as the tariff and
other important matters.
1t is obvious that this immense num-
Der OF bills cannot be considered indi-
vidually. Mr.. Sherman says:
1T is in committee that most of the
real work of lawmaking is done. De-
bate as rule, has little effect upon
the fate Of a measure. 1t is largely the
froth Of legislation; the substance is
the work performed by the committee
which has the particular matter in
charge. on political questions mem-
bers vote their party convictions, or
are supposed to do so, while upon other
and non-political matters, or those
which have no partisan significance
they almost always follow the recon-
mendations OF the committees. Varia-
ton from this practice is the exception
and not the rule.
In the early days Of our Republic a
member arose i'm his place and formal
~ introduced his bill, which was read
by title and appropriately referred to
committee II was found however. by
the House. with its large membership
that this practice consumed a grea t
amount of time and accomplished no
good purpose, and years ago IL was
abolished. Now when "A member of the
House wishes to introduce a bill, he
walks TO the clerks desk at the dais
and drops 1t into a basket provided for
that purpose, or he calls a page to do
1t for him. In the course of his rout-
inc business the bill-clerk records it,
and it is automatically referred to the
proper committee. AS a matter of rec
ord the Speaker refers the bill TO it's
committee, but in actual practice this
reference is made by the clerk 10 the
Speakers table. who is unohlcially
known as the parliamentarian Of the
House"
