TOM STOUT'S WEEKLY LETTER

Washington, March 21.-In an
effort to bring this session of con-
gress to close before the shades Of
autumn fall athwart the landscape
it is just possible that a rather radi-
Cal departure from the customary
procedure in the house will be
adopted. Many of the influential
members OF the body have discussed
the proposition of placing further
limits on debates in the house in
order to hasten things along.
While the house, as distinguished
from the senate, has rules limiting
debate those rules, under ordinary
conditions, are very literally con-
strued. in the aggregate, the
house wastes almost as much time
in useless talking as does the senate.
The only difference is that the
house can stop it if majority of
the members so elect while the
senate is utterly helpless to close
the flood gates of its own oratory if
one or two recalcitrant solons don't
want 'em shut.
Whenever a bill of more than
average Importance comes into the
house an agreement isarrived at be-
tween the committee chairman in
charge of the bill and the leader of
the opposition as to the time for
general debate. General debate ON
bill is, about nine times out of
ten, simply the device for the de-
livery of a lot of campaign speeches.
There is no requirement that the
orators address their remarks to the
subject matter of the bill up for
consideration and few OF them ever
do so. 1t may be that there is no
particular opposition to the bill
from any source and yet, | have
seen these unopposed measures
debated' for ten mortal hours
during which time not one of the
speakers ever thought of referring
to the proposition before the house.
1t is during general debates that the
record is filled to overlooking with
perfervid oratorical efforts meant
solely for home consumption.
When one of these so-called debates
is in progress the house is practically
deserted. A few friends of those
who are to speak stick about for the
of giving the official report
er an opportunity to insert the
applause add loud applause

embellishments at convenient and
proper intervals but the great ma
iority of the members find some
other method of occupying their
time during that dreary period of
partisan praise, personal puff and
precollected piffle.
Immediately following one of
these general debates, the govern
ment printing office receives orders
for vast numbers of printed copies
of the speeches and some days later
the mails of Uncle Sam are burden
ed with sack upon sack of these
same printed speeches being hasten
ed to the constituents of the various
'debators.'
The plan now agitated is to pro-
vide a special rule for each of the
big bills, of which there are some
ten or twelve pending, which shall
not only limit greatly the time for
general debate but also confine the
discussion to the bill before the
house. The limit as to the time
will probably be unnecessary so long
as the rule as to the range of the
permissible discussion is enforced
for the sum total of congressional
knowledge of the average appro-
priation bill can be exhausted with
in three or four hours at the most.
l believe that the adoption of this
plan will shorten the SESSION at
least thirty days in addition to
proving beneficial in relieving the
congestion at the government print
ing office and saving the postoffice
department considerable amount
of money in transportation of frank
ed mail matter.
Of course, even though the house
thus deny itself the privilege of
working up some two or three hun
dred deliberately prepared campaign
speeches and hasten the day of adj
iournment thereby, the senate
might nullify the effects of this
self-abnegatory act by proceeding
in its usual procrastinating manner
but then again, it is just possible
that the senate may desire to get
out of Washington just as ardently
as does the house. One third OF
these same senators are in ideL IL
cally the same poignant position
hat all of the members of the
house with very few notable ex-
ceptions) find themselves, to-wit:
they must go out on the hustlings
and appeal to the great common
people for votes if they would con-
tinue to inhabit these environs fol-
lowing the fourth of March next.
This being so, | suspect that when
ever the house says the word, the
senate will agree to quit and once
more leave the full burden of nat
ional affairs upon the shoulders of
President Wilson which, under
present conditions, might not be
the worst thing that could happen
the country. Being one of the five
or six members who have decided
to forswear all future activities in
this part of the country, am in a
position to adopt an attitude of
perfect poise, not to say supreme
indifference, toward the designs of
NV comrades to hustle things along
toward a stopping place neverthe-
less, as [ have remarked before,
Washington has never particularly
appealed to me as an ideal summer
resort and if the powers that be do
succeed in bringing the machine to
a halt by the middle of June or the
first of July, 1 shall not feel par
ticularly aggrieved by reason of
such action.
