CHANGE IN SENATE
RULES ADVOCATED
Continued From Page ~

The opposition of one or two sena-
tors has made it impossible to in
crease the membership of the inter-
state commerce commission or to give
It the altered organization necessary
for it's efficiency
The conservation bill which should
have released for immediate use the
mineral resources which are still lock.
/ ed in the public lands. now that their
release la more imperatively necessary
than ever, and the bill which would
have made the unused water power OF
the country Immediately available for
industry have both failed, though they
have been under consideration
throughout the sessions of two con-
crosses and have been twice passed
by the house Of representatives.
The appropriations for the army
have failed, along with the appropria-
lions for the civil establishment of the
government, the appropriations for the
military academy at West Point and
the general deficiency bill.
1t has proved impossible to extend
the powers Of the shipping board to
meet the special needs of the new situ-
alton into which our commerce has
been forced or to increase the gold re-
serve of our national banking system
to meet the unusual circumstances OF
the existing financial situation.
1t would not cure the difficulty to
call the sixty-fifth congress in extraor-
binary session. The paralysis of the
senate would remain.
The purpose and the spirit of action
are not lacking now. The congress is
more definitely united in thought and
purpose at this moment, venture to
say, than it has been since the men,
DRY of any man now in its member
ship. There is not only the most unit
ed patriotic purpose but the objects
members have in view are perfectly
clear and definite
But the senate cannot act unless it's
leaders can obtain unanimous consent
It's majority is powerless, helpless. In
the midst of crisis of extraordinary
peril, when only definite and decided
action can make the nation safe or
shield it from war itself by the aggres-
sion OF others, action is impossible.
Although, as matter Of fact, the
nation and the representatives of the
nation stand back Of the executive
with unprecedented unanimity and
spirit, luo lulpleSslOIl lldUe dUI Udu
will Of course be that it is not so and
shat other governments may act as
they please without fear that this gov
eminent can do anything at all.
We cannot explain. The explana-
ton is Incredible. The senate Of the
United States is the only Legislative
body in the world which cannot act
when its majority is ready for action
A little group Of willful men, represent
ing no opinion but their own, have rem
dered the great government of the
United States helpless and contempt
ible.
The remedy. There is but one rem
edy. The only remedy is that the
rules of the senate shall be SO altered
that it can act. The country can be
relied upon to draw the moral | be-
]ieve the senate can be relied on to
supply the means Of action and save
the country from disaster
