This action, ken in respect to the eleven princie 1 tees, applied to chairmane ships as well as to other leading places. Before undertaking to consider the question of membership rank, the re- publica ecided on the apportion- ment of places on the committees be~ ween the two parties. Because Of their margin of control of the next house, the committee decided to din= crease the majority appointment by one member, with a similar reduction of democratic or minority membership. The principal committee, having members, would under the \dopted be divided hetween thir- 1 republicans and eight democrats, while practically the same ratio would obtain with the committee of smaller membership. A decision to make pos= sible of the committee on departe expenditures for proposed in- vest m of war expenditures and other inquiries of department inquiries led to the membership apportionment. this committee being agreed on as republic and two democrats, ad of ihe four to three ratio that ed in the last house.
