Talk Too Much
System, That Permits Fill

National Foil

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t has often been remarked that
the United States Senate enjoys free
dom of debate to a degree unequaled
in any other legislative organization in
the world. Years ago this liberal sys-
tenn may have promoted continuity and
eloquence Of discussion, but it's out
standing effect to-day is to produce
irritating obstruction and intermina able
delay in the passage Of necessary meas
ures.
Few will deny that the rights of the
minority should be protected, but what
about the majority's rights? Are these

ago, while we we're still neutral and
oar merchant ships were sailing the
high seas at their peril, little group
of "willfui men"twelve members Of
the Senate-succeeded in hating the
enactment of the bill that gave our
ships the right to arm. What more
shameful example of vicious fllbus-
ter can we ask?
The old days of unlimited debate
were tolerable only as long as the
business to be handled was small. The
present great pressure on the Senate
demands more efficient method. Clo-
ture on any question should be permit

concur. Dissenting members should,
however, be given the privilege of hav-
ing their undelivered speeches printed
in the Record.
Little reforms Of this nature rarely

should be given careful attention.

70 the Editor of The Tribune:

TO the Editor of The Tribune:
Sir: President Gompers Of the
American Federation of Labor in urg-
ing against that body merging itself
with any Independent labor party,
states, in effect, that it is to the best
interests of labor to throw its support
to that one of the two major parties
which offers men and principles best
suited to the needs Of labor
The basic principle of the Republi-
can party is universal service 1t has
sought ever to foster only those ideals
which conform most truly to the inter
ests of the nation as q whole. Rather
than to have championed the cause OF
any one minor class to the exclusion
Of all other interests, it is the tradi-
tional policy of the Republican party
to foster the interests Of the majority.
# labor seeks to create in itself an
autocratic or dictatorial power. then
may It look elsewhere than to the Re-
publican party for sympathy with its
cause.
But II it seeks q square deal; If it
seeks legislation that will enhance its
individual rights to "life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness" then. If
these rights conflict not with the
"life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
pines" Of the public in general, may
it look to the Republican party for
sympathetic action in its favor.

Vigilance Is Demanded
To Preserve the Union
Revolution in the Air and Means
Must Be Found to Stamp
1t Out

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Towering above all other ques-
lions to be covered by the Republican
platform Is, it seems to me, the preser-
walton Of the Union painfully put to-
gether by the fathers, and at great
cost, preserved to the present moment.
Revolution is in the air, and optimism
the ostrich, hiding his head in the sand.
1t doesn't soften the thing to say
that the assault is upon capital, as
witness the A. +. of H.; or unon capital
ism, as in the case Of the Communists
Capitalism is the existing order; is
founded upon an immutable law, and is
indestructible; but society founded
upon it can be turned exactly upside
down, and it is a horrible process.
Labor to-day demands partnership;
tomorrow, control. Socialism, in dit
ferent terms, demands control in be-
half Of the proletariat, the lower
stratum, and the two are now travel
ing together, with the criminal class
behind, biding its time.
Capitalism cannot be overturned
without first smashing the Union. Tie
issue should be definitely met in the
platform, and the principle stated that
the welfare of all is superior to that
of any class.
The plank covering this feature
should be entirely devoid of any terms
Of compromise, assurances Of esteem
or trace of fear. S. A. l..

US. Must Apply Economy
In Her Hour of Thrift
udget System and Application
of Surplus Revenue Where
Needed Most Are Proposed

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: While our country has such
wonderful resources and times are
prosperous there is little incentive for
strict economy; but 1t is q good time
to do little planning for the future.
There is talk of a budget system to
put our national finances on sound
business basis and to eliminate pork
barrel" politics.
My suggestion is to take as basis
the yearly production Of our various
industries.
If the dollars and cents value of the
agricultural products of the United
States for the last year should exceed
that of any other industry, let US
spend more Of our revenues this year
on agriculture. Whether. we spend
more or less than ever before is not
SO important as having some definite
plan. CHARLES Z. MORGAN.

To-Day''s. Prize Letter
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Changing the Presidential
term to six years, making the Presi-
dent ineligible for reelection for the
Immediate succeeding term, extend
ing the terms Of the Representative
to three years and ultimately divid-
ing the Senators into two classes in
stead of three would do away with
some Of the elections of which we
have far too many and would remove
from the mind Of President all
thought of Immediately succeeding
himself. the cause Of the undoing of
many administrations.
President would in fact be the
President Of all the people and not
merely of his party. The country
would be the gamer, and the Presi-
dent would retire at the end of his
term feeling better satisfied with the
result of his administration, and with
the respect and good will of all citi-
zens.
Congrcs sional elections as now
held occur too frequently. They are
apt to keep business continually dis
turbcd and unsettled. If the terms
OF the Representatives are length
ened better results may be attained,
for Representative will not imme di-
ately weigh his every action in the
light of coming campaign.
The terms of the Senators are
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1920-04-10

unchanged by the proposed amend
ment, but the Senator'S ultimately
would be divided into two classes
one-half being chosen in the pres;.
Dental year and one-haIf three veara
thereafter. To bring this about
without curtailing the terms of any
Senator now in Office the Senate
would be authorized to fix by lot
tentative short terms for successors
of Senators whose terms are about
to expire, so that ultimately one-half
of the present Senate would be
chosen in a Presidential year and
the other half three years thereafter.
Such tentative terms if the
amendment were In effect this wear
might be planned substantially as
follows: In the year 1920 thirty
two Senators would be chosen for
three-year terms, in 1922 sixteen
Senators for one-year terms and
sixteen Senators for four-year
terms, in the year 1924 thirty-two
Senators for two-year terms, so that
in 1928 forty-eight Senators would
be chosen for full six-year terms
and in 1928, the next Presidential
year, the other one-half of the SEN
ate would be chosen, and 50 on.
An election once every three
years would be sufficient and
answer all necessary purposes.

A Guide for Congress
Conservative Ideas Held
as Worthy of Considering
in NJ apping Program
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The National Education Asso-
citation naturally will take leading
teachers, and in considering the ques~
ton Congress might we'll take cogni-
zance of the results Of its recent ma
tional convention. The association be-
of the teachers wage standing should
be pressed by every one interested in
the future Of our schools and colleges.
The convention held that the fore
most question was the enlistment of
enough teachers to supply bare needs.
An element Of unselfshness may be
seen in thus placing the welfare of the
child above pecuniary considerations
for the teachers themselves The asso-
cation frankly stated that the call can
st be answered unless adequate fnan-
cial remuneration is provided. and it
suggested an urban minimum of 81 500
and n rural minimum Of 81 200 a year.
Other reforms proposed included
more adequate Federal cooperation in
education, Federal subsidies for schools.
a more liberal expe nditure for schools,
extension Of the compulsory school age.
None of the items is radical, hut on
the other hand they are marked by al
most extreme conservatism.

The association nlso would include
