Looking In on Congress From
the House Gallery
SENIORITY
By CONGRESSMAN GUY U. HARDY
SENIORITY
~ CONGRESSMAN GUY U. HARDY
Copyright ~. Western N.~spaper union

Seniority or length of service has
long been a controlling factor In many
things in the house Of representatives.
/ suppose 1t has always been so more
or less. and II Is q little more SO now
than formerly, If possible.
A member gets his office room in the
house office building, his seat at com
mlttee tables his rank on his commit
tee, his craftsmanship Of committee.
his place as a conferee on conference
committees of the house and senate,
and many other little favors and big
opportunities for influence through
seniority
There was n time when the speaker
tees and chairmanships. You heard
Uncle Joe Cannon roundly "cussed"
about his exercise Of that privilege a
few years ago. Even then most Of
the chairnen were selected because
they had served longest on the com
mittees. But the speaker had some
latitude and he did make some indie
pendent appointments in an effort to
put the best qualified man in the
place. And often such appointment
there was a revolution Uncle Joe was
defeated for speaker, new rules were
adopted. Committee assignments are
now made by large committee on
committees and the seniority rule Is
closely adhered to. There has been
but one notable exception in years.
The present chairman Of appropria-
tons was not the high man but the
second high man on the list.
Chairmen of committees have much
power and influence in directing legis-
lation. They can help write legisa
ton, help push 1t through the commit
tee or hold 1t back. They have charge
of II on the floor. Many bills pass the
house in one form and the senate in
another. If one house refuses to &C
cept the amendments OF the other, the
bill Is sent to conference. Conference
committees include three or five men,
bers from each house. The house con-
ferees 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 findings back. These re-
ports are usually accepted by both
houses.
The seniority rule has been much
criticized, and there Is room for criti-
cism. But there is something to be
said for 1t. Chairmen have the ad-
vantage Of long experience on their
committees. II they are not dubs 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
ity rule, and while the new members
may be critical. I rather fancy we will
never get far away from It.
However, after all is said, It does
sometimes appear that seniority and
long service have more influence and
power In the house Of representatives
than brilliancy and ability.

WHEN A CONGRESSMAN DIES

When a congressman dies the house
sOlemnly passes resolution Of &C.
knowledgment and then adjourns But
usually by common consent the resO-
luton is held on the speakers desk
until the business Of the day has been
completed, and at about 8 or s 30
o'clock the resolution IL 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, q representa-
tive from the state Of -

cate these resolutions to the senate

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, but the house goes on with the
nations business without resting or
celebrating.
The house evidently thinks that the
best respect It can pay to the memory
Of the country's notables and its own
dead Is to go on with its important
work. And 80 1t does. usually.
Occasionally. II business Is not too
pressing and II the deceased member

RURAL SCHOOL LUNCHES
(From the Lamoille County Farm
Bureau News)

(From the Lamoille County Farm
Bureau News)
Last winter we attempted to make
a survey of the rural schools to find
out in how many of them a hot dish
was being served. 1t seems that
there are about 70 rural schools in
Lamoille county and in 25 of them
the hot lunch was served This
seems a surprisingly small number;
only 35.7 percent. 1t should be 100
percent when we consider the advan-
tages to the children of the warm
dish at noon.
In making this survey circular
letter or QUESTIONABLE was sent out
to the 70 rural teachers. Most of
those serving the hot lunch replied,
few replied who were not serving
it and gave their reasons. The
majority, however, ignored this plea
for information, whether from indif-
ference or because they were not
serving the lunch, I do not know. /
have feeling, however, that if they
were cooperating with this project
they were glad to let us know about
it. Let us see what some of these
letters said:
"In regard to the hot dish at noon
wish to say that l think it has
been the means of the children being
freer from colds this winter than
during other years. They certainly
seemed to put better work into their
studies"
Another teacher states:
81 have served hot cocoa during
the winter term and | find it makes
a vast improvement in the children.
The cocoa gives them new life and,
being hot, they are obliged to eat
more slowly"
A third teacher writes:
81 certainly, do think it is worth
while to serve the hot dish at noon.
In case of two little girls from one
family 1 could see a difference in
their appearance in two weeks time.
think it was all that kept one of
them in school during the last term,
for she is not strong and was plainly
showing the strain of the long term
when we began to serve the hot
lunch"

What could I say? Old folks ask
such senseless questions, sometimes.
Naturally I wasn't going to say had
been disrespectful and disobedient
when hadn't; and of course, I
couldn't say hadn't been when Aunt
Jane said l had. That would be Just
like saying Aunt Jane lied. So, of
course, 1 had nothing to say. And I
said so.
But she says you refused to go
