WASHINGTON, Sept. 23—The House of Representatives, which prides itself on being “the People’s House” has been turning into a rich man’s club.

The representatives newly elected in 1984 were almost four times as wealthy as the first term lawmakers elected only six years before, according to a new study on the members’ financial reports.

As a result, it is increasingly difficult for candidates of modest means, particularly women to amount successful challenge to entrenched office holders.

One solution, the authors contend, is a system of public financing for campaigns, but congress seems in no mood to change the political rules any time soon.

It establishes a de facto property qualification for office that increasingly says: low and middle income need not apply.

The Democracy Project produced the study in cooperation with the United States Public Interest Research Group, a similar institute situated in Washington. But their research was not entirely theoretical. In 1980 Mr Green was the unsuccessful Democratic candidate for Congress in New York’s 15th District, in Manhattan. The winner was Bill Green, one of the wealthiest members of Congres
