INHERITED CHAIRMANSHIPS

A GOOD deal OF the legislative incompetence at
tributed to congress in recent years has unques-
tionably been due to the seniority rule" giving
committee charmanships to the members OF longest
service. Experience is valuable, but It takes more
than experience to make statesman. Sometimes
the rule has worked well, giving importan; commit
tees chairmen strong and able as well as skilled in
the. work OF their committees. Often the results
have been deplorable. Yet the rule is still held
involate in the senate and is largely observed in the
house. Ii all OF the men now heading committees
in both branches OF congress had been selected for
conspicuous fitness for the wor, in hand combined
with ability for team worwk, it is safe to say that
congress would be lar more efficient body than
il is
The death OF Senator Penrose, chairman OF the
senate finance committee and certain other imminent
changes, have made the subject live one. The old
rule will be followed presumably, in committee va
cances occurring in the present congress- since any
effort to change the system suddenly would be en-
barrassng and difficult. 1t may be, too, that con-
gress really prefers that system. The public how
ever, would like 10 see such important jobs earned
rather than inherited and cannot see why the system
should have been started since no private bus-
ness is ever run in that way,
