SS-tJ THE SENATOR SAYS Restate Senator Robert Md&ory --••^^lllllil'HljllTTTTTIH liap----IIUliplii by Senator Robert McClory "What is the difference between the state Senate and House of Representatives?" This question is frequently asked, but rarely answered satisfactorily. Many of the similarities and differences in these two branches of our Illinois General Assembly are not defined in th^ statute book. Constitutionally, both the Senate and House are identical in their powers. Either chamber may initiate legislation. The concurrence of the other legislative body is necessary in order to enact any new law. Even though the Senate and House should each pass identical bills, the result is nil UNLESS both act favorably on the same bid, thus insuring its passage. Unlike the national Congress, in •which appropriation and revenue bills must originate in the House of Representatives, either branch of the Illinois General Assembly may originate such measures. Specifically, the principal difference i$ this: State senators are* elected for four years, representatives for two year terms. The senators from even numbered senatorial districts are elected in one biennium and those from odd numbered districts in the following biennium. Thus, only half of the Senate members are subject to change at each biennial session, whereas the entire personnel of the House is capable of being replaced every two years. While only one senator is elected for each senatorial district, there are three representatives elected for each Representative ^ Company Mrs. Jessie Baumgartner was a house guest last week in the home of her sister, Mrs. Sophie Dykstra. Sunday guests in the home of Mrs. Jennie Vallone were her son, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Vallone. and family and Mr. and Mrs. Gabriel Antonacci of Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Maxwell entertained Mr. and Mrs. Vernie Colclasure and family from Plainfield last week. Miss Elizabeth Schaeffer alid the Henry Hoppert, Jr., family attended a birthday party for Mrs. Werner Schaeffer in Elmhurst last Sunday.

Both in the party representatives--as he chooses. A vote for one candii date only is counted as three votes, votefs' for two candidates give each tMr votes, and votes for three candidates give each one vote. As a consequence of this system of cumulative voting, the minority political party is always well represented numerically in the Illinois General Assembly. The 1956 election, which resulted in the election of Republicans to every state administrative office, gave the Republican party a majority in the House of Representatives of only 94 to 83. And-- in 1936, which saw the greatest Democratic power in Illinois, the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives was only 85 to 68 . An authority on constitutional law • and » political science, Rep. Noble W. Lee of the twenty-third representative district, Chicago, attributes Illinois' legislative conservatism to this political balance maintained in our Illinois House of Representatives. It is virtually impossible for the governor to control a legislative body so evenly drawn from both major political parties. Despite frequent critidsins of the enactments of our Illinois general Assembly, it has subscribed to few radical or "wildeyed" measures, as compared to our Federal Congress or the Legislatures of-* moist other States. Much of this, stability may be attributed to the oft criticized cumulative voting- which has kept close party balance in our Illinois House of Representatives. A major difference in our two legislative branches exists with respect to presiding offices. The presiding officer of the state Senate is the Lt. Governor, John William Chapman, a member of the executive department and first successor to the governor's seat. On the other hand, the Illinois House of Representatives elects a presiding officer who is designated as "Speaker", from among its own membership. The Speaker is the virtual "dictator" of the Illinois House of Representative's although Warren Wood of Plainfield, in the 37th Representative District, the present incumbent, possesses none of those characteristics. Conversely, the Lieutenant governor is authorized to do little more than preside over the deliberations of the McHENRY TOPICS Glenn Paulsen Tonight, when you watch television, , think of the fact that 60 individual pictures are flashing on the screen each s^confc And each of those 60 pictures are formed by a beatti banning 525 lines on each ; picture frame that passes in front of you.

BEN FRANKLIN THf H1ART OF THE Glim ST. SH@ffIN© CfN1iiD0 NES OF TOP-\ " T© THANK NS IN state Senate, being a mere "figurehead" in that body's composition. The most powerful tigure in the state Senate is the president pro tempore, who never presides except when the Lieutenant Governor is absent. Senator Arthur J. Birdwell of River Forest, in the first senatorial district, was recently elected president pro tempore from the majority (Republican) party, and it is he who will be charged with steering through the Senate the program of the present administration. But, even the president pro tempore of the Senate does not possess as much authority as that of the Speaker of the House. For, the Speaker, individually, names his own majority leader and the persqnnel of every House Committee. In th<# Senate, the majority "whip" is elected and a committee on committees decides who is to serve on each of the Senate's thirty standing committees. The fate of many bills is decide^ by the committee to which they are assigned. In the House, the right to assign bills to one of several committees is in the exclusive control of the Speaker. In tji? Senate, a - committee on assigns ment of bills decides to whidi <of J the standing committees a mear sure is to be assigned. • References to the "upper House" and "lower House" are essentially misnomers. State senators state representatives are "Members of the Illinois General Assembly." Troop 89 Troop 89 had a Valentine party We had pop, cupcakes and fudge. When we were finished eatingk some of the girls gave out the valentines brought by some of the thoughtful girls. Instead of valentines, two girls brought cooldes or pieces of candy. We had a lot of fun. Afterwards we played games. Our leaders valentine to the troop was a square dance record called "Oh Johnny". We have been wanting that for a long while.
