One Of q congresman's little troubles
Is the home problem. getting house
to live In. Washington IL the highest
priced city in the country. Property
and rents are high. Ii man Ia there
alone he can live at a hotel. II he has
a family he must have house or an
apartment. The hotels are high priced
The houses and flats are out OF sight
What members pay for houses Of
course depends upon what they get
aud want to pay. Several members
pay $1,000 year rent and quite a
number pay from $500 to $4,000. OF
course they do not live on their
salaries. They get something from
back home The members who try
to live on their salaries. or nearly SO,
pay from $3.50 to $3.50 month for
furnished house. And you don't
get as much In Washington for 500
month as you can get In Colorado
cities for $50.
Within the moderate prices. houses
are very hard to get and usually un-
desirable Most residence property In
Washington Ia built In rows--houses
In solid blocks like store buildings.
They are usually II to 10 feet wide,
three stories high with three rooms on
each floor. windows only In front and
back. a front yard 10 or L. feet deep.

usually by common consent the reso-
tuition Ia held on the speakers denk
until the business Of the day has been
completed. and Mt about 8 or r 30
o'clock the resolution Is read. passed
and the house stands adjourned.
The resolution always runs the
same. 1t reads:
Resolved. That the house has
heard with profound sorrow Of the
death of Hon. Mr.. Blank. representa-
tive from the state OF -
Resolved. That the clerk communi.
cate these resolutions to the senate
and transmit a copy thereof to the
family Of the deceased.
"Resolved. That as a further mark
,of respect this house do now adjourn"
Few things are permitted to inter-
fere with the business of the house.
The work goes grinding on through
the weeks and months. The house
passes laws setting apart holidays
that others may rest, and celebrate.
and revere the memory Of notable
men, hut the house goes on with the
nations business without resting or
celebrating.
The house evidently thinks that the

50 SENIORITY
By CONGRESSMAN GUY U. HARDY
Bv CONGRESSMAN GUY U. HARDY

SENIORITY

Seniority or length OF service has
long been controlling factor In many
things In the house Of representatives.
] suppose II has always been so more
or less. and II Is little more 30 now
than formerly. II possible.
A member gets his Office room In the
house ONCE building, his seat ut COM
mittee tables. his rank on his commit
tee, his craftsmanship Of committee.
his place as cOnferee on conference
committees of the house and senate.
and many other little favors and big
opportunities for influence through
seniority.
There was time when the speaker
had some choice in fixing up commit.
tees and chairmanships. You heard
Uncle Joe Cannon roundly "cussed"
about HIS exercise Of that privilege q
few years ago. Even then most of
the chairmen were selected because
they had served longest on the CON-
mittees. But the speaker had some
latitude and he did make some indie
pendent appointments In an effort to
Iput the best qualified man In the
place And often such appointment
raised Cain. About twelve years ago
there was q revolution. Uncle Joe was
defeated for speaker, new rules were
adopted. Committee assignments are
now made by q large committee on
committees and the seniority rule 10
closely adhered to. There has been
hut one notable exception In years.
The present chairman of appropria-
tions was not the high man but the
second high man on the list.
! Chairmen of committees have much
power and influence In directing legis-
latton. They can help write legisla-
tion. help push II through the commit.
tee or hold Il back. They have charge
Of II on the floor. Many bills pass the
house In one form and the senate In
another. II one house refuses to ne
cept the amendments Of the other, the
bill 10 sent to conference. Conference
committees include three or Ave men,
bers from each house. The house con-
fcrees now usually consist Of two
Republicans and one Democrat or
three Republicans and two Democrats
who have served longest on the com.
mittee. These conferees get together
and agree to anything they can and
report their nndings back. These re-
ports are usually accepted by both
houses.
The seniority rule has been much
Icriticised. and there In room for criti-
tcism. But there In something to be
said for II. Chairmen have the ad.
vantage Of long experience on their
committees. II they are not hubs they
must have learned much about the
business In hand. and usually dubs do
not remain long In congress. ANY
other method Of selection would start
log-rolling. build up machinery and
factions and breed strife and trouble.
The old members are for the senior.
1ty rule and while the new members
may be critical. rather fancy we will
never get far away from Il.
However. after all Ia said. II does
sometimes appear that seniority and
long service have more influence and
power In the house Of representative
than brilliancy and ability.

The Legionnaires as a body earned
the good opinions even of those few
OrleanIans who because OF rumors Of
misdoings at Kansas City were slight

and good order prevailed. The are
