Rule on Discharging Commit
tees to Be Amended in In-.,
terest of Expediting.
- (United Prvft Lnwd Wire.)
Washington. .Jan. 6. The first
move in the present session in the in
surgent fight for reformed hous? rules
was made today -when Representative
Norris of Nebraska introduced two reso
lutions, one of which Is Intended to end
committe, secrecy. The rule, which
old-line leaders call revolutionary, ts
Intended to put on record the member
of committees on measures which are
referred to them by the house. Under
the provisions of this rule, the vote,
which Is taken In secret, is to become
open. A report ,to the house showing
how esch committeeman voted must be
made. If the resolution is adopted.
The second resolution changes a for
mer rubs' amendment providing for the
discharge of committees on request of
the members Introducing bills.
"The abuse of committee is one of
the greatest evils in the present con
duct of legislative affairs, and the res
olutlon presents the necessary means for
the reform of house procedure, said
Norris In discussing the resolutions. "It
prevents the evasion of responsibility,
heretofore possible, for throttling bills
In committee.
"A bill referred to a committee can
be killed without any one's 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 ordered, the
business of all standing, -t special and
elect committees, including the' votes
therein, shall be published.'
Tne second resolution remedies a de
fect discovered In the rule for the dis
charge of committees. The old rule
provided for the reading of bills. Under
the new resolution, these bills are to
be, read by title only, when the quea
tlon Is that of discharging the com
mlttee.
