Yesterday alteration a Sentinel re-
ported interviewed lion. John 11. Light. '
speaker 01 the House of Represents»
lives at Hartford. shd questioned him »
relative to the progress of the present
session of the legislature. arid when It 4'4
was probable that it would adjourn. lie
also asked him about the character
and ability of the present House and 4 4
about 1 .
constitutional reform. Men at Hartford - 44
10.111111141114111 know something
are discussing these questions every
day. Mr. Light has not as yet been
interviewed regarding these matters
and his opinion will be or interest.
’ "How does the present House com-
pare Ir. character and ability with the
previous lioness?" queried the report-
er. «
“i think that the character and aver
age ability 0! the present House is bet
ter than any previous House at which
1 hate any knowledge or acquaintance.
it is in every sense representative or
the people or the state. There have
been Houses in which were a greater
number at men of conspicuous ability.
but the. average, in my opinion. has at.
ways been lower.
"The leader of the present House,
William A. Ring. is a man of census
tact and ability. He has a rare gift 01
expressing much In a few words. and
his manner is agreeable and captivat
ing. in presenting business to the
Halide. he never wastes a minute oi
time. and his example wul do much
to shorten the present session. l haVe
heard much said at the capitol about
the unusual honesty of purpose or the
present House. and I believe it to be
true The membership is made up 0i
men who teal their obligations to the
state and are disposed to legislate In
the Interests of the Whole people, no
matter who may try to influence them
to do otherwise ”
"Are you satisfied with the makeup
or your committees" 4
“Yes; entirely so. It is a hard task
00 place Ziil men on appropriate com
mittens, especially when one has not
the advantage of personal acquaint
ance with but commatively few or
them. The ditllcultica are increased
by the great pressure brought to beta"
by men who are Interested in proposed
legislation. it is no exaggeration to
say that twodhlrds of the members d413-
sire is be placed upon live or six 01
the most important committees. When
you consider that but eight members
can be placed on a committee, you at
once see how impossible it. is to calls
(y the desires of a great many. meta
here. But I think the members gensr
liliy realise this difficulty and accept
the inevitable with grace and goon
feeling
"i am more than pleased with the
ability shown by the committees to dis
pose ~11 work referred to them. Home
time ago the House voted to use Fri-
day as a committee day. and the lead
ing committees have been using the up
pcrtuslty thus married. They are born ’
111g 11 great many hearth and are dis-
posing 0'! a great deal of usiness.1nls
change will enable the House to snort
en the session considerably. 01 course
the committee work is what prolong:
the sessions. and If this is speedily dis
posed of there is so very good reason
why the House should not be ready to
adjourn by the um 01 June." .
"What is the House likely to do witn
constlt tlcnal reform?"
"i th nk it will pass the plurality
amendment, and the amendment pro
vldlngan increase in the number or
senators. but It is very hard to say now
much farther the House may be 111000
ed to go, The" majority or the country
members are likely to vote against onyx.
change which will lessen the rspresen
rations of the small town. But troll:
what i can learn they would not object
to an amendment lncrsasln somewhat
the representation or the urge cities.
Sever.“ suggested changes are being
considered, one of which Is to limit
the representation In the House to
some definite number. spy 200,- and
give each town one. and every town
with 6,000 two. and to apportion the
remaining number accordlng to popula
tion. This would give the country
towns the control of the lion and
measurably satisfy the large cl es. i
believe that the small towns would

to yield to some reach able measure
