Others see them with en- vious eyes hecause of the operation of the rule of seniority which makes a North Dakota senator chairman of ‘committee which the Hartford Cour- ant saystis “the most powerful in Congress and from an economic as- pect hardly less important than the presidency itself.” Still more important is the fact that having received this coveted’ po- sition of power and influence Senator McCumber is entitled, according to an unbroken precédent of the senate, to retain that chairmanship as long as he remains a member of the senate and while that body has a republican majority. ‘This rare opportunity to serve his state and the great farming interests of the country has come to him as a result of twenty-two years of senatorial service. Must Serve Many Years, No senator can aspire to be, chair- man of the finance committee until be has served for years as a member of that committee and many senators never have an opportunity to become a member of the committee at all.. In forty years there have been only two Republican chairmen of this great committee and now fof, the first time the chairman is a western senator conspicuous as the champion of farm- ing interests. It was the rule of sen- jority that made the names of Ald- rich and Penrose stand ‘for dominat- ing power in tariff and financial legis- Jation and the states from which these senators came took care to keep them in the senate to get the full advan- tage of ileir good fortune. No matter how active, how able, how skillful a senator may be he can- not be advanced to this position of power unless length of service has qualified him for preferment. Not only is tariff legislation in the senate \first handled by the committee on fi- ‘nance but all'matters relating to fi- nance and taxation are draited there before they come to the senate for action. It is in fact the vital-organ of legislation in Congress. To see how eastern newspapers re- gard the power wielded by this chair- manship that has come to Senator McCumber will proye a revelation to many of the voters of North Dakota. The Brooklyn (N. Eagle com- menting .on the passing of this chair- manship to the state of North Dakota says a great number of writers re- gard this advancement of Senator McCumber as “not a pleasant prospect Senator Mc- Cumber has promptly disavowed the unfair imputation: that he will use his position to discriminate against any section of the country but he does understand the needs of the western country and can be depended upon to see that they are properly cared for. His past efforts assure that. It is his record in the interest of the farmer that has called down criticism upon him from newspapers that par- ticularly represent manufacturing in- terests. Without suggesting any countercharges any one can draw his own conclusion from the fact that these manufacturing. interests fear that a senator from the’ state of North Dakota might unduly favor farming interests. East Controls for 40 Years It was by this same rule of senior- ity that eastern states continued in control of this committee charmanship for forty years and they did not com- plain of the rule...They knew the value of continued service in the sen- ate and for that reason once an cast- ern senator had been.in the senate long enough to have precedence in committee assignments they kept him where he could serve their interests. Now the New York Times calls it “the foolish rule of seniority” and there is a chorus from eastern news papers who would like to have the rule set aside in order that eastern senators might select a senator from the east to be chairman of the com- mittee on finance which they have pomindted for forty years.
