BEWARE THIS BILL!

Early this week the attention of
the House of Representatives will
be demanded by bill from the In
terstate Commerce Committee, look
ing to sweeping restatement of the
Federal position toward navigable
waters used by power concerns.
There is an insistent effort to pass
this bill, and it is charged against
interests which Want water powers
on conditions calculated to impose
private monopoly on the consuming
public.
Secretary of the Interior Lane has
worked out bill which is supported
by the friends of true conservation
policy. The measure now being
brought forward is utterly contra.
dictory of the Lane program. The
Lane bill ought to pass, the other
ought to be defeated.
1t is charged that the bill which
the House committee has brought
forward goes so far as to repeal con.
ditions and restrictions heretofore
imposed, in the public interest, on a
large number of the big power
grants throughout the country, and
that if passed it would undo about
all that has thus far been accom-
plished by way of protecting the
public, and the future, from the ex-
actions of the powerful water-power
interests. This charge comes from
such high authority, it is urged by
men Of such repute for care, conser-
vativcness, and intelligence, that ii
must not be lightly put aside. 1t
will De pressed in the most public
fashion before this legislation can
pass, and nobody will have excuse
to argue that he erred through ig-
norance.
The Washington times., 1914-06-28

makes easier the defeat of legisla-
ton. which no few people look upon
as a good thing. But it has The eff
feet on the other hand of making
debates longer, of keeping the houses
in session interminably even when
everybody would like to shorten the
proceedings. To reduce the working
quorum say to 100 in the House
woald expedite business, and it
would certainly do no injustice to
members who absent themselves; abb
sentees are not entitled to consider
alton. The absentees could not
block all progress by the mere mega
tion of staying away; they would
have to attend if they wanted to kill
measures.
Just as the hottest part of the
summer is opening before US, the
leaders on both sides of the House
floor announce that they are going
to insist that business shall not be
done without quorum. This is not
done primarily because of any real
concern for a quorum, but, merely
to increase the difficulty of forcing
through Legislative program that
happens not to appeal to these lead
crs. Both Mr.. Underwood and Mr..
Mann think Congress should pass
the supply bills and go home. The
Administration declines to accept
their counsel, and will insist on its
whole legislative program going
through. The demand for constant
attendance of quorum comes from
the anti-Ndministration managers;
and it is merely par+ of the pro-
gram of hindering, not of expediting,
performance.
The Washington times., 1914-06-28
KEEPING A QUORUM.

There is good deal of buncombe
about keeping a quorum Of the
House of Representatives on hand to
transact it's business. Runcombe, that
is to say, about requiring an actual
majority of the body's membership
as a Quorum.
This insistencc upon an actual ma
jority as Il ILoIUm is almost pc
culiar to American legislative bodies
1t is the rule in both houses of Con
gress and in mos: Safe legislature,
Business. Of course. may be trans
acted without a quorum, 50 Ions; as
nobody mentions the absence of tie
quorum; and vely large share Of il
always is transacted in that way
The effect is to render it very diff
cult to do business On which unani-
nous consent is impossible.
In the British house of commons,
whose membership is much great, r
even than our House Of Representa-
tives, the quorum necessary 10 do
business is forty. : he commons will
he very frequently found dronirg
along, doing really inporatnt b ISL
ness, with a small fraction of the
number that would be required under
American ri:le.
1t is doubtful if anything is gained
by our majority-quorum rule. II
