C., july copy re -22 by the Mitchell evening pm Al to and the new a Ork evening v it re a the writer Felt some sur. It the a co innovations in our miss of government during the Rast week have not engaged greater Public attention. It is True that the nub rid the newspapers have prob a it erne to look upon such proposal it nor always meaning any Early j. R a a Splete fulfilment. Proposals for changes in the government or for cv., in government procedure appear frequently and with almost As much re Eque Ney disappear. Tho Rule its for a suggestion to come out. Make a sensation for a Day and then forgotten. But the two suggestions made during the past week Are in a class by themselves. They have an amount of vitality and Are backed by a sufficient urge of interest and necessity to make it certain that they will be pushed whether they will finally come into being can Only be known later. Mould end seniority the suggestion for the abolition of the Semo Ity Rule in the election of chairman and members of Senate Coni Trees comes from within the Senate itself. The proponent of it is senator Medill Mccormick of Illinois. And he is a Man of rather extraordinary Energy. Probably there is no Heater with so Small a number of years of service who has put his Back into and has successfully brought to fruit so Large a number of important innovations. One example is enough to mention. The adoption of the budget system was largely due in senator Mccormick s initiative and persistence. The seniority Rule which senator Mccormick now proposes shall he abolished is subject to criticism for or than Ana reason. In the first place it brings into the citadels of pow a. Senators who. Under the working of the seniority Rule come into those positions automatically. Now it is not by any Means to he As Vreed that the senators who come in to these positions by virtue of length of service Are not the men Best fitted for the positions. Quite the contrary i a Rue. In Many cases it is conceded Tho the older men who now hold these positions Are the Best fitted for them. But the respect in which age May he. And occasionally is. A Handicap lets in the degree of hard work frequently required from the chairman of an important committee.

Re the formality of an announcement that Tbs Road and unions could reach no agreement the labor Board it or. Pointed out. Could take Jurisi fion of it did in the threatened strike of the big four brotherhoods last fall.
