Only routine poaineai waa transacted
duilng the first half hour, and ou the

dication of the turbulent experiences of
last week. - : r
The meet far-reaching; result of last
week's revolution in the House, so far
aa legislation by the- present Congress
is concerned, : will' be n full discussion
on the floor of the so-called Taft leg
islative program in the opinion of. in
surgent leaders who canvassed the sit
uation today.'
"No matter how the new committee
on rules is constituted, " declare Mr,
Norris, the insurgent general, today "It
has been settled that the House can de
cide for itielf what it wants to do. And
no matter how the special rules that
the committee will frame for the con
sideration of legislation are worded, the
House itself will have the last say.
"I believe that last week's victory is
a step towards fulfillment of the plat
form pledges of the Republican party
As to the so called Taft program many
of us claim the right to decide for our
selves the form the proposed legislation
shall take, Many of us who are hearti
ly in nccord with the platform of the
Republican party claim the right to say
how those pledges should be redeemed.
The change will give us that right,
whereas formerly tho speaker, framed
legislation according to his ideas, ahi
it was up to us to take it or leare it
without the opportunity of amandmenr. -
