CANNON'S CLAWS ARE CLIPPED
Perhaps no itolitiial act of recent
years is fraught with more signific
ance than the passage of the Norn
resolution in the House Saturday
which deprives the Speaker of the
power to appoint the rules committee
and provides for the election of a
rules committee of fifteen members
by the House at large. A similar
resolution was introduced at the com
iu< ncement of the last session of Con
gress and was defeated by a narrow
margin. Ever since then the In
surgency In the House has slowly
spread and Saturday, though not with
out a bitter fight ^ the Insurgents and
Democrats carried the day by a hand
some majority.
In the effect the passage of the
Xorri> resolution means the end
Cannon. Cannon's real strength hai
always been lodged in his power to
control the rules committee by ap
pointing his personal friends and ad
herents to make the rules which he
administers: and by unscrupulously
packing committees and rewarding
friends with good appointments and
punishing eneiuu s by placing them
in obscure positions, he has built a
machine in the House so powerful
and certain that he h.i> bei-a ab! !
block legislation almost at will and
has probably wielded a greater influ
ence on legislation than even the j
President.
Even with a a enlightened, fair mind
ed. broad and able statesman in the
speaker's chair this power would hav
been dangerous. With a politician
of Cannon's stripe: subservient to the
money interests, little heeding pop
ular opinion as long as he could
thwart it. always working for purely
political purposes, the representative
charact r of fhe House was practically
nullified and the state of affairs was
inimical to the best interests cf the
country.
bono clipped anil his power for evil
is largely abolished. The personality
of the Speaker is no longer of such
consequence; but even so. Cannon
must go aud his sotback Saturday
foreshadows his defeat if he is again
a candidate for the Speakership. The
fight against Cannon has boon of
slow growth. It was instigated and
chiefly encouraged by certain maga
zines who realized the power vested
in him and the manner in which it
was used. Slowly the revolt grow in
?the House and each Congress has
seen the spread of Insurgency. The
defeat was not an easy one. Hither
tofore Cannon has always outridden
the storm and Saturday he exhausted
every subterfuge known to parliamen
ary practice before ho permitted the
issue to come to a vote.
Cannon is done for and hereafter
the House will be more represoiitati\a
than it has been since the "Rood
rules" were adopted and later perfect
ed by Cannon.
An interesting phase of the ques
tion is the situation that Taft is now
placed in. He has steadfastly stood
by Cannon and at the beginning of
the present session attempted to
stamp out the House revolt by with
holding patronage from the Insurgent
leaders. Now that Cannon has b< en
put out of the running It may affect
the result of [he President's legislative
program.
