WHAT THEYWISH TO ACCOMPLISH A Saving of 1)182,000 In Annual Cost 1 of Running ths House One of Results of New .;, ... Rule, ,'- : ,' . Washington, April . In a party caucus, noteworthy for its harmony and the smoothness of its progress, the Democratic members of the new house of representatives adopted without change the committee assign ments, the economy, program and the new rules prepared for the coming session by the committees that hare been working in the last month. A legislative program was adopted which is expected to confine the ac tivities of the coming extra session ol congress to popular election of sena tors, Canadian reciprocity, tariff re vision, investigation ot governmental departments, congressional reappor tionment, statehood for Arlsona and New Mexico, general deficiency appro priations, (District ot Columbia legis lation and publicity of campaign con tributions. Important changes in procedure, and a general reorganization of the house will result from the action ot the Democrats. The power of naming committees was definitely taken from the speaker by the rules and lodged In the house Itself, Committee mem bers are to be elected by the house not only In the first Instance, but altc In the Ming of vacancies. The rule to prevent filibustering on a motion to discharge a committee from custody of a bill Is the result ol a filibuster conducted in the last set slon by Representative Mann of 111! noli. He had the postofflce reorganl tatlon bill placed on the calendar un der this rule, and demanded tbat it be read completely, an operation tbat consumed several days. The new rule provides that a bill shall be read only by its title, and that Its title shall not be more than 100 words long. It prohibits any mem ber from having before the house at any one time more than two motions to discharge committees from the cut tody ot bills. Under this rule the Democrats believe It can be made to work as originally Intended, to pre vent the burying of bills in commit tee. , A saving of 1182,000 in the annua) cost of running the house is prom ised through the cutting out of super fluous employes and inactive commit tees; and through the abolishment of time honored , "extra month's pay." Appointive places are put. into the hands of one committee, a special body to be known as the committee on organisation and the scramble for congressional positions will center about its door.

' WILL HOLD RECIPROCITY BACK Unless the Senate Will Assist With : Revising Schedules no Canadian Agreement Can 'V , ;,;.! Pass.'- ' '.,'' Washington, April 3. If the house should pass the reciprocity measure toon after the convening of congress and the senate should act promptly the senate Republican majority could past a Joint resolution to adjourn Im mediately. ; As the Democratic house would not agree to this a deadlock ot Inaction would be created which could only be met by the president pro roguing the two houses under his con stitutional prerogative. A provision of the constitution gives the president power to prorogue congress If the two houses cannot agree upon a time for adjournment This power' never has been exercised for conditions nave never arisen te require It In the present session con ditions could easily be manipulated to render the exercise of this power desirable. If the house passed the reciprocity agreement and sent It tc the senate and it was agreed to In that body, the senate then could pasi a Joint resolution providing for final adjournment. The house would not agree, it being the intention of th Democrats to proceed with general legislation, t There would follow a deadlock and the president' could prorogue the two houses. . A Check on the Senate. To forestall the possibility ot suck an unfortunate situation Democratic leaders are considering the advlsabll lty of holding reciprocity in the hou until the senate has decided some ol the tariff schedules that under th Democratic caucus plan are to b amended. If the senate takes thess measures up and, disposes of then promptly then reciprocity will be sent over and the president will get wbal he most desires, No chances will be taken, however, for democracy to be made the victim ot sharp parlla mentary practices. It the senate assumes the responsi blllty of refusing to allow revision ol the tariff to be made there will be nc Democratic objection to dissolution of the congress. The compulsory ad Journment ot the congress wltU t genuine downward i revision bill 01 hills, passed by the house and held u by the senate would afford the Demo crats campaign, material' of ; which they would not" slow to take' ad vantage.
