UNITED l'HESS LEAKED WI11E. .Washington, Jan. '.. The Urst niove for the present session in the insurgent lislit. for reformed house rules was made today w;ien Repre sentative Norris, of Nebraska, intro duced two resolutions, one of which is Intended to end commit! cm secre cy. The rule, which old lin- lenders call revolutionary, is Intended to put on record tlie members of committees on measure,; wh'cli are referred to them by the house. l'mli;r the pro visions of this rule, the vote, which Is taken in secret, is to become open. A report to the bouse, showing how each committeeman voted, must be made, if the resolution is adopted. The s" orrl resolution ch nges a former rule amendment providing for t lie discharge of comm'ttees on re quest of the members introducing the bills. "The iibnso of committee secrecy Is 011,1 of the creates t evils in the present conduct of legislative affairs, and the resolution presents the nec essary steps in the reform or house procedure," said Norris in discussing the resolutions. "It prevents the evasion of responsibility heretofore possible, in throttling bills in com mlitiio "A bill referred to a committee can be k'lled without anyone assuming responsibility. It simply disappears. I propose to make every member of every committee responsible to the house. The resolution amends the rules to read 'unless otherwise or dered, the business of rl standing; special and select committees, includ ing flu votes therein, shall be pub lished." Th'fi second resolution remedies a defect discovered In the rule for the discharge of committees. The old rule provided for the reading of the bills. Under the new resolution these bills are to be read by title only when the question of discharging thi committee comes' up: ' Will Let Women Vote. S-:icr:ui, n i, Cal,, Jan. . A constitutional amendment pro viding for "votes for women" has been prepared by Senator Hell, of l':.iadena, and will go to the committee on elect 'ons. The make-up of this committee prac tically assures a favorable re- port on the measure, and it Is thought the bill stands a good 4 chance of passage, and of being, submitted to the voters of the stat..' for consideration. The b'll makes only slight changes in the original section 1 of r.rlicle 2 of the constitution and extends the franchise to wo men by eliminating the word "male" wherever it occurs in that section.
