PROGRESSIVES IN
CONGRESS CHANGE
CONTINUED from Page u


The value of this committee to
privilege was shown In the last con-
gress when the chairman Of the rules
committee even ignored decisions Of
the committee that certain bills be
reported to the house. He carried the
bills In his pocket and despite the
protests of members Of the house the
bills were not reported.
Because they were determined to
abolish this gag on the peoples legis-
lature, a score Of the administration
party blocked the organization of the
house until relief was secured. They
were referred to as insurgents" and
'dietators," and were lectured by ev-
cry spokesman and defender of the
old rule.
The Washington Post, recognized
spokesman for the administration,
lead in its bitterness against the de-
mand that the house rules be changed.
After the progressives tied up the
house for two days, and forced con-
cessions, the Post makes this amusing
turn-about:
Situation In House.
THE proposed action by the House
of Representatives opening the way for
revision of the rules is timely and
appropriate. 1t is the proposal of the
majority, and was under considera-
tion long before the .mock-heroic
martyrs of Wisconsin offered to i'm
molate themselves on the alter of
'progressivism. Once more true pro-
gressivism is found in the ranks of
the safe and sane majority, and not
among the scattering zealots who
claim that political virtue dies with
them"
The senate is confronted with the
same situation that exists in the house.
Officially the administration party has
81 seats, the minority party has 43
seats, and the farmer-labor party has
the two senators from Minnesota The
majority of the administration party
means nothing however, because of
the wide cleavage between conserva-
tive and progressive.
One political writer who is close to
administration powers has stated that
a coalition government lineup of
conservatives in both parties-is the
solution of the present chaos. Some
observers take this as a hint of what
will happen if plutocracy is confront
ed by an attack on its income. through
tax revisions.
There is but one woman in con-
gress, Mrs. Mae E. Nolan of Cali
fornia, who was elected to succeed
her husband, the late John l. Nolan,
member Of the Iron holders union.
When he died he was serving his fifth
term in the house. He was also chair
man of the house committee on labor.

SAFETY FIRST

The Christmas shoppers hesitated at
the crowded street crossing. To try
to get over seemed like an attempt to
dodge fate. Automobiles dashed by
in continuous procession. The tall
policeman. however, conveyed a group
across like a battleshlp leading a
flock of schooners. But one old lady
fingered, afraid to launch away until
courage came with the policeman's
assurance: Come right along. mann.
