from one 10 one hundred dolarsfor church fairs TOT
phanthropc pcncs, for flag riSngs, for new churcncS
for everything that mortal mind imagine or SrSpS

ing hi, famy he has enough left for these purposes
An important work in Congress originates IN COM
nittcc,. Generally each member belongs to two or
three committee, and each committee meets TWO or
three times q week. II a man does not shoulder MS
share Of the burdens in the committee and does not
famliarizc himself with al the bills referred to that
committee ne Is regarded as worthless ana OF no
account bv his fellow members. 1t is practically ne
cc,,v if ne wishes to retain the respect OF his fellows
that he attend to his committee work And when
new member realizes that several thousand bills are IN
the committee room and that his voice one OF those
which will decide what measures 10 be rejected or
made into law he feels if the weight of the world had
settled suddenly and with great velocity upon his I'M
tried shoulders.
\ good comedy could be written about the variety
and number Of topics which the constituents write
f. their members And a tragedy could be built on the
,rcrv political deaths Of members who have failed to
answer those letters promptly. The member who has
his share Of ability and keeps up with his corcSpondeCe
and cxerts himself TO the uttcrmOSt to fufl all the
requests made to him by his voters, generally stays IN
Compress for many years. But, if he doeSnt answer
thos letters and if he doesn't work for his own people,
his political career will be brief no matter how perfect
an organization he may have left at home or how brill
liant NAV be the speeches he will deliver in the next
campaign The voters figuring that they gave the man
his Job, calculate little further, and reach the con-
ci,on that ne is in Washington TO work for them ana
to be on the job for them every day
ONE Of the first things to which the new lawnaker
" must bend al his cncrgics and lot Of tact IS to
find out the easiest way to the passage OF bills
in which he is interested for his own particular district
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1913-05-11

He must know a dozen or fifteen men who being cha;
men Of big committees and therefore hard workers al
close scrutinizers Of legislation will either help him
hinder him in his projects. If you want private Nc.
sion bill passed. appropriation for bridge over
river in your county, or for public building in vor
town YOU will stand fair chance 10 get it. provided tb
your Representative has found out how % speed ,Jo
measure on its way. He must know the parliamentar
rules governing such bills. He must find out to wba,
committee each measure has been referred He ms.
90 70 see the chairman OF that committee and the men
bers Of the special subcommittee who have charge Of b
bill Finally, when it is reported, he must be on the
floor ready to ask vote on 1t or 10 move for It's passage
bv unanimous consent. But even that not all When
il is sent TO the Senate he must follow H. securing sim
port for it there from both OF the Senators repre-
sentng his State. To have such bill finally enacted
into law a member must exercise eternal vigilance
An incident illustrating this occurred The beginning
Of the last Congress. new member had succeeded in
having bridge bill reported to the House. This was
done in such manner that he could have called m
and had it passed by majority vote but he abored un
der the impression that it was the Unanimous CON
sent calendar And when he later called it up under
unanimous consent the objection Of one man beat it.
"Ill never forget that rule again, said the new men,
Der sadly "These rules the hardest things to re.
member | ever saw
OCCASIONALLY new Congressman are amusing
~ Only month or two ago one Of them arrived in
Washington "to look the field over as he explained
He informed many older members that he wanted
place on the WAYS and Means Committee because he
knew all about the tariff 1t did not enter his
head that places on that powerful committee come to
man as the reward for both marked ability and length
of service He felt absolutely that all he had to do
was 70 make known his desires and the place would be-
given TO him. He was disappointed. Tie got the CON-
nttee assignments that the older member thought he
ought to have, not the ones he wanted.
Such instances, however are much rarcr NOWADAYS
