SENATE ly as possible has to put it as brief- attracted nationwide attention ever since Inauguration day, when Vice President Charles O. Dawes enraged the most august legislative body on earth" by demanding that it reform Its rules so that a minority could no longer block the purpose of the majority to legislate. Since then General Dawes lias taken his cause to the people, before a gathering of approximately 000 representative editors and publishers nt the annual meeting of the Associated Press, he stated his address. He urged position in a reform of the senate rules ns subversive to representative government and put his case thus. In purt : carefully-prepare- d As vies president, elected, not by the senate,' or by a state, but by the people of the United States to preside over the senate, I conceive myself charged with the duty of calling attention to methods of senate parliamentary procedure. The Issue Is this: Shall the senate continue unchanged Its existing rulos, which admittedly make possible, at times, the exercise by a minority, or even one senator, of power to block the purpose of a majority of the senate to legislate? With full confidence In the patriotism and Integconfront a question rity of senators when theyInterest of the nation, of plain duty affecting the I have appealed to them for their rectification of Rule 22 so as to protect the majority of the senate in Its constitutional right to legislate. And more than this, 1 now appeal to the citizens of the different states to Impress upon their individual senators by correspondence, by resolution or petition, their attitude on this proposition. No argument Is sound to the effect that, to protect a majority of the senate and of the American people themselves. It Is necessary to put them, at the end of a session, at the mercy of either a senate minority or of ny one United States senator. Now, this writer has no brief either for Dawes or for the senate. Ills purpose In this article Is not argumentative but Informative. I'or example, how can one enjoy the fireworks unless he knows what Rule 22 Is and how It works or doesnt work? Any" ay, lvre Is Rule 22, with a few parliamentary flourishes omitted: If at any time a motion, signed by sixteen senators, to bring to o close the debate upon any pending measure Is presented, . . . the presiding officer shall at once state the motion. . . . One hour after the senate meets on the following calendar day but one, he shall lay the motion before the senate and direct that the secretary call the roll. . . . The presiding officer shall, without debate, submit to the senate by an aye and nay vote the question: Is It the sense of the senate that the If that debate shall be brought to a close?' question shall be decided In the affirmative by a two-thirvote of those voting, then said measure shall be the unfinished business to the exclusion of all other business until disposed of. Thereafter no senator shall be entitled to speak In all more than one hour on the pending measure . . . and It shall be the duty of the presiding officer to keep the time of each senator who speaks. shall Except by unanimous consent, no amendment No dilatory motion, or dilatory be In order. amendment or amendment not germane shall be In order. Points of order, Including questions of relevancy, and appeals from the decision of the presiding officer, shall be decided without debate. This rule means that any question can be r speeches brought to a vote after 9G It done. Hut s wants senate of the if Is what Dawes wants changed to a that majority. This rule can work and did work In the last congress on the Isle of Iines treaty, which had been before tie sennte for more than twenty years. Senator Copeland of New York began a filibuster. Thereupon Senator Curtis of Kansas, majority leader, got busy and the treaty was ratified within two days because nearly every senator was ashamed of the long neglect of ... ... one-hou- two-third- two-third- s . the treaty. go. when Dawes says that the senate, almost alone, chooses to conduct its business under rules whlcP do not provide properly effective cloture," those senators opposing him reply: "Let us keep the United States senate the one legislative body In the world where minority, even those representing unpopulr causes, cannot complain of drastic limitation on their freedom to express their views. General Dawes put Senntor Wllllnm M. Butler of Massachusetts on record In his Lexington Alarm address nt Boston by calling upon him for a statement. Senator Butler said he purposed to devote his time in the senate to bringing about reform. Senator Frank B. Willis of Ohio, Republican, who la reported to have Presidential aspirations, appears to be advocating a compromise in his speed es: the cutting down of debate on unimportant measures; reasonable debate on big Issues. Senator Walter E. Edge of New Jersey, Rethe proposed fnvors publican, unequivocally change; he believes thoroughly in a majority cloture. Senator George II. Moses of New Hampshire, Republican, who will preside over the sennte in the vice presidents absence, took direct Issue with General Dawes In a public address at Syracuse, lie denied the truth of a statement by Senntor s Albert B. Cummins of Iowa that of the senators desired the proposed change In the rules; he thought there never had been a time when even 51 per cent were for It. Ills own experience hnd taught him that the present rules had saved the country and its treasury from embarrassment, uud he took this fling at the vice president : for unlimited debate which the rulea of the senate now provide. In the opportunity Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas, sennte minority leader, said in a public address that Vice President Dawes has the remedy In his own hands: To reverse an old ruling of a previous senate presiding officer that a senator is the sole Judge of whether he is speaking to the question during debnte. All that is necessary is for Vice President Dawes to do just what presiding officers In other parliamentary bodies do, he said. When a point of order is raised that a senator is not speaking to the subject before the senate, if the point of order should be sustained, a majority vote would be required to enable the senate to proceed. Senator Walter F. George of Georgia, Democrat, has suggested in print that abolition of the lame duck (short term) congress would bring about the result desired by General Dawes, thus agreeing with Senator Moses. Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi was asked to state his attitude and made this characteristic reply : It is said that once a fly lit upon the dome of Paul's cathedral. Crawling across one of the seamlike connections, he flew away to tell the other files that he had discovered a terrible defect In this, the greatest work of Sir Christopher Wren. St. I commend this story to General Dawes. nine-tenth- It Is to be observed th. t with few exceptions the demand for a change In the rules of the senate arises from those whose contact with the senate Is either brief or nonexistent. Many . man has come Into the senate with a determination to tame It, and almost without exception these men themselves have been tamed by the senate and have come to realize the true value of the senate rules. Senntor Moses declared that limitation of debate alrend.v existed in the senate. It was generally applied, he snhl, under unanimous consent agreements agreeing to a time for a vote and that, pending such vote, no Senator should speak more than once, nor more than a given time, upon a measure or a proposed amendment. He then explained Rule 22 and its workings and said, in part: Nevertheless, there is a remedy for everything complained of, and one which may be applied The wholly outside of the rules of the senate. senate Itself has twice shown a willingness to adopt this remedy. Senator Norris of Nebraska has proposed, and the senate has agreed to submit, an amendment to the Constitution which would enable the new President and new congress to take office In the January following their election In UniJer such an arrangement there November. short session of congress, would be no and In consequence no filibuster could be Indulged In. I have not observed that any of those now so busily engaged In defaming the senate have shown any willingness to Indorse Senator Norris appeal. It may be that they are as Ignorant of It as they are of the actual effect of the rules of the senate. . . It Is, of course, axiomatic that the majority has the right to rule. But majorities differ from day to day. and the majority In the senate Is no longer In point of fact, except partisan or even political. means, strict party division is through artificial rarely to be had nowadays at either end of the question of federal capttol. and the engrossing legislation nowadays are those of economic Import affecting the material Interests of sectional groups of states. The Inevitable result Is a series of coalitions differing from day to day and with the character of the proposals which the various groups espouse. Under these circumstances majorities are bound to be as reckless as they are ephemeral; and the safest and the s'fongest safeguard against the powers which ti e bloc system entails is to be found Senator Oscar W. Fnderwood of Alabama, Democrat, generally considered one of tl ablest men In the sennte, has long been an advocate of reform In the rules, and the day after Dawes demand reintroduced a resolution providing for better cloture. Underwood says flatly that no man cun successfully deny that the present rules are Ineffective for transacting business In an orderly manner. He says thnt the larger part of the time of the senate In the Inst congress was taken up by a filibuster against the Muscle Shoals bill and that hills allowed to go through had only cursory examination or were passed by unnnlmous consent without any consideration at all. And he snys: We come back to the real question as to whether we should have a closure rule for the senate or not a rule to close debate such as Is usually called In parliamentary law the previous quesThe Constitution of the United States contion. templates that a majority of the United States senate shall transact business. But when the rules of the senate permit a small minority to occupy so much time In th9 debate on any question that such a minority can force concessions from an unwilling majority In order that legislation may be achieved, the constitutional requirement that a majority may transact business undoubtedly Is nullified. "Hell Marla Dawes crusade Is. of course, Lots of people don't seem to love good copy. the senate any more. Apparently they hope the Bogy Man will get it and rather think he will. And lots of people, "ho ure not wildly enthusiastic over General Dawes, say quite bluntly that he wants to be President and Is manufacturing an Issue all his own. Anyway, editorial writers, parngraphers, humorists, cartoonists, reporters are busy over tie various and correspondents alTalr. Public opinion, as reflected of the phases in the press, is ns wide apart ns the poles. Every day or so some senator is put on record, pro or con.

Altogether the situation reminds many of the story of the tnan who prayed for assistance In a fist fight upon which he was nbout to engage, but, said, If you feel, O Lord, that you cant take sides In this scrimmage I advise you.
