last reapportionment. Congress Is,
therefore. entitled to do more talk
ing.
Moreover, now that Senators are
elected by direct vote, they feel 1t
necessary to do more talking than
before for the benefit of their con-
stituents. They not only talk more
freely. but Introduce more matter
into the record in way of letters,
newspaper clipping and the like.
Again, there used to be a fine,
old tradition that q new Senator
should be seen but not heard.
But that Is so no more. The new
Senator Is allowed now to talk as
freely as the senior. This makes
difference in the record.
Additional reasons might be given.
One factor Is that the Government
Is getting bigger, more great sub
jects Of legislation are pressing for
attention.
Nor does 1t conduce to lessen the
amount of monologue and conversa-
ton that tere are now Republican.
Democratic. and Progressive parties
instead of the two old parties only
represented in both brances. The
fact the Democrats have lately
come into complete control of the
Government tends to add to the vol
ume of debate.
Senator La Toilette gave the rec
ord this session a large boost when
he put into 1t the mass of letters
and other matter sent to the Inter-
terstate Commerce Commission to
influence II in the advanced rate
case. That filed $50 pages and cap
tured the championship for putting
the most matter into the record at
one time.
