To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The one branch Of our Fed
eral government which most directly
voices the will of the people is the
lower house of Congress. 1t is i'm
portsnt, therefore, that steps be
taken to retard and halt the grow
ing tendency toward lessening OF
its powers and consequent increase
IN the power of the executive.
The cause Of this transfer of au-
thority Is doubtless to be found in
the defects of the legislative body,
rather than in the autocratic lean
lngs of the executive. Government
business must be attended to, and IL
the legislative fails to function. the
executive knowing that his response
bility is greatest will take the initia-
tive upon himself.
The first defect in the House Of
Representatives is that It Is unwieldy
in number. This is defect that can
soon be remedied. The next Con-
gress should resist the claims OF
state pride calling for larger repre-
sentation. and instead of adding to
the number should largely reduce
the present number. There is no
constitutional check upon such action
The benefits would be % a more ef-
fective working machine and ca an
Improvement in the personnel, mas
much as each Congress sional district
would be larger and have a greater
number of capable men from whom
to pick its representative.
The second defect Of the House
is found in the very means de
vised to make this large body
effective: viz, the committee sys-
tenn. The merits of this system
are many and easily recognized. In
fact, it is considered by most COM
mentators as the only possibly sys-
tenn. Nevertheless 1t is responsible
for the failure Of the House to be

Bryce writes: "The House has No.

committees are drawn"
A bill on it's introduction Is NOT

The House at large does not become

little If anything of it's content
When, or if, the bill is reported from

Of the committee knows much Of it's
merits Or defects? The vote Is pen
orally along party lines. Legislation
becomes, perforce. not the action of
the whole House, but the action of
small fraction of that body.
Moreover, bills accumulate In com

we have that sorry spectacle Of
bills rushed through just before ad-
journment practically without debate.
The committee system makes ex-
perts in legislation out of a few men
who are fortunate in remaining in
the House long enough for the sys-
tenn to take effect on them. But it
does not educate the House as a
whole, nor does it educate the public.
Not even an enterprising press can
adequately report what Congress is
doing.
The House Of Representatives can
