ASHURST'S TOUR
Of WHITE HOUSE
PRESENTS PUZZLE
congressman Privately Seek
ing Line Where Rights Of
Senator Over Presidents
Privacy Begin and End.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE,
Especial Correspondent Of the News
Scimitar,)


WASHINGTON, Dec, 31.--Senator
Ashurst, OF Arizona, who paced the
White House grounds impatiently
and insisted upon an audience with
President Wilson in the executive
mansion, has started discussion as
TO where the rights Of a United
States senator begin and end and
when the privacy of the president OF
the United States and his constitu-
tional rights may be invaded.
The Arizona senator was naturally
anxious for Mr. Wilson to act
promptly on the mining bill. because
1t affects so vitality his constituents
back home, but whether or not he
adopted the proper course to compel
early action is being debated pri-
vately by his colleagues and officials
generally.
The position taken by many is that
q United States senator has no more
right to force the president of the
United States to say when he will
sign or veto bill than a senator has
the right to insist upon word from
the supreme court OF the United
States as to what its decision. will be
in any pending case.
Moreover. those who defend Mr..
Wilson declare that the senate has
been very jealous OF its prerosatives
10 the past and any attempt on the
part OF the president to ask tho
senate formally what action 1t would
take on pending bill would be re-
scented.

What President Can Do.

The most a president can do is
to recommend" to congress and the
most a senator or member of con-
grecs can do about bill at the White
House Is to urge" or recommend"
Mr.. Ashurst insists that he wasn't
trying to influence the president, but
simply to find out whether Mr.. Will
SON would sign or veto, and when
he would take action. Strictly speak
ing, officials. say Mr.. Ashurst had
right to cool his heels at the White
House offices ard wait there all day
Ii he liked as a protest against mac
tion on measures which he wanted
pressed, but to go unlimited beyond
the offices into the privacy of the
executive mansion where the presi-
dent makes his residence Is invading
the domain of the executive.
The Ari2cnat senate. went to the
front door of the White House after
he had found no one at the execu-
tive offices from whom he could get
Information. The presidents secre-
tary was away for lunch and the
attaches in charge couldn't enlight-
en- Mr.. Ashurst as to the status OF
the bill. When MIR. Tumulty did get
back he began tracing the mining
Dill ana gave senator ASnuFSt as
surances that action would be has
tened.
Waits for Reports.
The truth is the president always
waits for a report from the secretary
of the department affected by any
bills passed by congress before APP
proving of disappearing. The mining
bill would affect the interior depart
ment. Secretary John Barton Payne
happened to be out Of the city.
And Mr.. Wilson Is given 10 days
by the constitution TO make up his
mind what to do about bills passed
by congress. He has until Jan. to
decide and, knowing the temperament
Of the president, there are those who
think that, unless regrets are ex-
pressed by a certain senator from
Arizona, II Is likely to be midnight OF
Jan. 4 before action Is taken on the
bill Mr. Wilson is not the kind who
is stampeded into action on anything.
