Washington.—The Republican ma- A Jority in the senate is hammering out ORDER OF EASTERN STAR Mrs. I. W. French visited friends | at Akeley Saturday and:returned to| the prospective gold of the foreign debt funding bill into a glittering leg- islative sheet which will be warrant- ed to hold water.' Of course this thing is a finuncial matter, and in finunce east s eust and west is west, though why it should be a geographical mat- ter, an affair of latitude and longitude, 80 to speak, no layman in Washington seemws thoroughly to understand. Such is the fact, however, and what the bases should be to make finances sta- ble are wmatters of varying prairie and oceanside opinion. The Republicans in the senate, hav- ing a large majority over the Demo- cratic brethren, have b’een holding con- ferences. Apparently today no party which happens to be in the majority in the senate feels safe in calling an old-time caucus in which each man who eutered virtually pledges bimself to abide by a majority decision.” To- day they confer and come to partial agreements which are to be¢ kept only in:case some of the gentlemen pres- ent do not discover afterward that -there is .ample reason to change their minds about the legislative program projected, and elect, after explanation, to stand in opposition. - 3 —Apparently it is now definitely as- sm:ed that the senate will face some kind of ‘a veterans’ adjusted compen- sation ‘bill containing a cash payment provision. It is not, however, defi- nitely- known whence is to.come the m})pey to pay. ‘the; bills, . - Bventually, probably, the cash payments fo the for- mer soldlers.will be made from' funds collected from foreign debtors of Uncle Sam, en if a proper bill for fund- +ing the foreign debt is passed by con- gréss, "there Is no’ final assurance to- day when these funds will be avall- able.. ..

There Is still great opposition to tlre sales tax as a means of raising addi- tional revenue. This kind of a tax has been advocated, oppo: praised and damned alternately. Certain _ele- ments in the manufacturing communi- ties are.opposed to it, and certain ele- ments in them.are in favor of it, and identically the same. words can be used to describe tiia feelings of .the consuming masses. Want to Try Something Anyhow. Who knows? Mr. Smoot says he knows, and other men in the senate say they know. The non-legislator Is lonvinced by one argument and then unconvinced by the rebuttal, and there you go. Sometimes the wish is ex: pressed that “any old thing” might be tried out in order to see how it will work. Such Is the yearning for re- lief of some kind from those clements in the American communities who hap- pen to be represented in one way or another in Washington when hearings are being held by the committees hav- Ing charge of finances. . The Republican majority in the sen- ate seems finnlly to belleve that it sees the fixed light of agreement among its members and that the factional ships: now can steer a clear course into, the, harbor of harmony.

Record Offers Chance for Economy. It may seem strange for- men who Swrite for print” to suggest that the printing- bills of congress might be cut”down with advantage to the treas- ury. and to the public, and perhaps with advantage to some of the mem- bers themselves, for it is inconcelvable that more than a few of the congress- men gain anything by having their speeches “extended in the Record.” The United States pays a large sum of money each year to print and to circulate speeches of members of con- |, Zress which were never made. A mem- ber rises to speak as many-words-as he can in the few minutes allotted to him, and then asks permission. to ex- tend his remarks in the Record. He always gets permission, and freguently page after page of printed matter ap- pears with the enlightening informa- tion that it is the speech of Hon. So !and So delivered in the senate or the house of representatives on the great subject of this or that. Some of these speeches which appear in printed form in the Record are interesting because they are amusing. War With Spain Not Forgotten, As wars are viewed, the. con- flict between the United States und Spain looks like a minor engage- ment when compared with the titanic bhattlings of the recent great struggle between the nations of the earth, but nevertheless the soldiers and sailors ‘who took part in the struggles of 1808 are not forgotten in the* capital of the country, Shortly there will, take place the twenty-fourth anniversary of the sink- ing of the battleship Maine in the har- bor of Havanu, Cubu. Preparations are ‘eing wade in this city to commemornte the disaster and to pay tribute to the nemory of the men who lost their ves on that stanch new ship when it | went to destruction on n dark Febru- ry night in the year 1898, 1. It was in 1910 that congress mad: ‘provision for the raising of the wreck of the Maine. There always has been some dispute as to whether or not the ‘vessel was destroyed by an internal explosion, or.by one from without, al- ithough a board of Investigation de- icided that the ship’ was destroyed ma- Jiclously by a torpedo launched either y enecmies of this country or by men ‘who desired to see the United States enter thé. war in behalf of Cuba and :belleved that such a horrible act of ‘destruction would bring about. the end )ey sought.
