This would allow the V. P. to live in a style to which the holders of that office have become totally unacs customed, but much as we would like to see Senator Barkley well housed, we think such a bill ought to be judged as the opening wedge it would certainly be. Unquestionably the, office of Vice-President could and should be a more important position in the Gov- nent of the United States than traditionally it has been. At the very least the occupant of that office could take part of the load of official enter- tainment off the President’s shoulders—though that would not materially enhance the dignity of the office. But there are great and deep chasms of precedent that must be bridged before the Vice-Presidency can be- me the second ranking pesition in the Government— N ery o if it ever can.
