It was George Washington who said that the senate is the saucer in which the tes of the house brew is cooled. Not only is that body fitted for such & purpose by the character given it by the fathers, but by the nature of Its own rules of procedure as well. With its members elegted for a term three times as long as that of a representative, and limited to two from each etate, the constitution intended it to be & body in which thought and deliber- ation would be assured. While there has been a tendency toward concentrated one- man power in the house, in the senate any one of the entire membership may have an opportunity treely to discuss and propose legisiation.

He cannot name the siand- ing committees of the senate, the choice of recognition does not lle in him, and he has practically no hand in directing the business of the senate. The speaker of the house exercises all these pow.
