Suppose He Were.
Apropos the Supreme Court. Just
suppose that Zioncheck were a men,
ber of the Supreme Court. Can you
imagine the horror that his conduct
would provoke? How long, with a
few zionchecks in it, do you imagine
that the Supreme Court would retain
its prestige?
That, after all, is somewhat per-
tinent to this discussion. For the
Lower House of the American Con-
gress Is the only really representative
body of the United States 1t is the
most democratic of our governing
organs. There have been times in our
history when it Was body with dis
tinction and character. John Quincy
Adams could leave the presidential
chair and go, in 1880, to the House
of Representatives from his Massa-
chuSetts district and assert his pride
in doing so, and incidentally spend
there the most noteworthy part Of
his career. Can any one imagine Mr..
Hoover going to the House of Repre-
sentatives today? Or Mr.. Roosevelt?
In most democratic countries the
general tendency has been gradually
to transfer increasing power to the
more democratic and representative
governing bodies That has been
notably true in England, where the
House Of Commons today completely
overshadows the House of Lords.
But in our own country to be a
member of the House Of Representa-
tives is usually to be condemned to
utter obscurity. The average man
does not even know his own Repre-
sentative'S name.
The press pay little attention to the
House. It passes bills which its men,
bers know are i'll conceived and i'm
practicable, in the comfortable expcc-
tation that the Senate will fix them
up-the present tax bill is an Illus
tration. Here precisely the reverse OF
what has happened in England has
occurred. The Upper House, the less
representative body, is more serious.
more responsible and far more re-
spected. It Is q doubtful omen for
democracy.
Zioncheck, I am told, was not al
ways thus. He has sat in the House
for nearly four years and throughout
his first term was a hard-working
man. He was active in committees
and on the floor. But I cannot recall
that any speech he ever made was
printed in a metropolitan paper.
Perhaps Zioncheck has concluded,
in the darkness of his subconscious
ton does not pay. Perhaps he has
observed that James Walker, New
YorkS discredited mayor, received an
ovation upon the floor of the New
York Assembly when he returned after
long absence, demonstrating that
though discredited he Is still beloved.
Out Government is supposedly COM
posed Of three branches-legiSlative,
judicial and executive. Two branches
are functioning. The Supreme Court
and the executive. Some people think
they are functioning far too actively.
But what has become of Congress
after nearly four years of crisis?
r
government in a much more COM
plicated and difficult world. Congress
must amount to something.
