NEW RULES BRING CHANGE ’Begulars No ZLonger Able to Pigeonhole Measures. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Group government has replaced party government. All doubts as to ] the power of the insurgent Repub- licans to do about as they please in the Present session of Congress have been ramoved. And PPgsident Cool- idge, posinssed of the vato power, nds as thé single-handed champion of conservaliv®y regular Republican doctrine. The taxation plan of the Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew W. Mellon, now has been beaten in both House and the Senate, by a coalition of Democrats and insurgent Republicans. The first important test of the new rules of the House, which delay- ed the organization of the present session of Congress, has turned out exactly as expected. No longer can | the regular Repubiicans pigeonhole a measure in committee. A majority vote can bring ft out according to the new rules, and that now has hap- pened. It marks an_ epoch in the history of the House of Representa- It means more power to groups than parties. Two' Groups Evident. The voting of the Stmmons tax rates into the Senate bill as proposed by the Democrats and the virtual ac- coptance in thg House af the Demo- | cratic rates proposed by Representa- Garner in what is known as the compromise does not Democrats are con- sr It nas a deeper than that. It reweals that a new alignment in the na- troitin = | meaning | there 1s tional legislature—a radical, liberal or progressive group composed of in- | surgent Republicans and most of the Democrats, and a conservative and regular _group, com almost wholly of Republicans and one or two Democrats. On the surface it might seem as 1f the Democrats are merely following the “Republican strategy of yester- vears in aiding and abetting all po- mischief_which works to the Ze of the party in power, been happening in the v ks cannot be atzributed ¥ to that cause. The Democrats would not have op- posed the Mellon rates nor would the Z |insurgent Republicans have _delib- crately abandoned them if they hud ot belleved that the Mellon cut help- od the wealthy too much, and that the substitute bills gave the man of | smaller income more of a reduction {in his taxes. sSimilarly, in the House the support given to the Howell- | Barkiey bill to safeguard the rights of union labor in the railway crafts i of a belief that the more numerous ; , legislates to get t respons from the largest of people, and, while the rail- {way emplovers and the persons of larze income probably would prove | that their proposals are, in the end, of | economic benefit to more persons than themselves, the House and Senate, be- ing politically-minded, does not ac cept such a view. Conservatives Are Doomed. administration or leadership which champions the cause of the So- salled conservative business interests of the country is doomed to defeat | in the present temper of Congress. The tax bill which has been drafted by coalition of insurgent Repub- tistactory cither the Republican or Democratio parties, but it is a reduction, never- theless, as compared with the pres- ent revenue act. And the' mood of Congress is to cut taxes a little bit at a_time. Undoubtedly there will be efforts to cut taxes further every vear from now on. It will always be a paramount issue. But the radicals feel that the cuts should not be too | extensive and that the man of income should receive preference right along. Argument Is Weakened. The case for the lower surtax ad- vocates has been weakened by several things. First, the argument has been mado that business conditions would be improved by lower rates, and sec- ond, that tax-exempt securities would not be 5o popular if taxable securities were made more attractive through lower rates. Congress has mot been convinced that even under the present surtaxes business has been ruined. On the contrary, the Republicans plan fo go into the campaign with a cry of prosperity. Also none of the pro- Dosals thus far advanced would com- pete seriously with the tax-exempt securities in the opinion of members of Congress who have been instru- mental in defeating the Mellon rates. Business Hurts Own Ounse. The action of the House in forcing to the front the very bill which the rallway interests have been fighting is an indication that big business so to speak, has hurt its own cause mand for the Howell-Barkley bill now has been intemsified. Coming on the eve of the congressional a8 well as presidential campaign, union labor is gathering its strength once more to strike at those in the Re- publican or Democratic parties who side with the employers. It's the old story of blocs This time the labor bloc in the House is in the ascendancy. Coolidge Might Have Afded. President Coolidge might have saved the tax situation by persomal intervention and an appeal to the country for the Mellon rates just as the bill was being advanced from one stage to the other, but he was advised that he could not hope to change the situation. There is some doubt about this, for the members of the Republican party are not 8o y to commit themselves against the President when they know definitely that he will veto a specific measure. As it is, when they are without knowledge of his intentions, they go ahead re- cording their votes, apd when the time comes for a vote bver the veto it is embarrassing for them to change e Re e eartity e Mellon tax rates wers h approved by Mr. Coolidge at the out- et.
