Last year we had a session lasting only three months | it is true, bué the entire month of November, . was consumed in the consideration of ap- propriation bills in the committee, so that in four months of good hard work we were able to encompass the passage of all the appropriation bills—If we take the same time this year that we took at the last session, having March, April, May, and June, it would take us up to July, Some progress has been made on the house side and here in the subcommittees, but I submit that some arrangement must be made for the appro- priation bills to be taken up and passed by the} senate. If not, we may look for a continuation of the session through the summer.” Fear has been expressed in many quarters that the entire program for constructivg legislation planned by the Republicans before the conven- ing of the present congress will have to be sac: | Tificed, especially os the Democratic-Radical coalition, who appear to be in control, is in opposition to the measures by means of which the administration supporters had hoped to pro- vide benefits and relief for the people. But of course it is vital that the appropriation bills be passed and even these are in jeopardy at the present moment. 2 Hour after hour, day after day, is consumed in the senate by the Democratic inquisition, which convicts first and tries afterward. The common ruffian, Thomas Heflin, of Alabama, has sung his hymn of hate for everything Re- publican, almost daily since congress came into session. Pat Harrison of Mississippi, another specimen, of unreconstructed, unregenerate son of disorder is a close second to Heflin in con- suming valuable time, without giving adequate exchange in either wisdom or enlightenment. Then there is the fresh new senator frbm Mon- tana, Wheeler, who has quickly earned the so- briquet “We All Know” Wheeler, who has prov- ed to be a muckraker of large parts and deep penetration. Ever since the constitution was framed and adopted the United States government has strug- gled along in very fair shape, and exercised the functions planned by the fathers in three co-or- dinate branches, executive, legislative and judi- cial. It seems now to have modified, without the knowledge or consent of the people into three branches, not co-ordinate, consisting of execu- tive, judicative and investigative. The legislative branch seems to have been abolished. If it may be judged from the mass of letters and telegrams that continue to pour in upon congress from all parts of the nation, the peo- ple are heartily sick of and completely dis- gusted with all the gum-shoeing, chemical analy- sis of ink, seizure of telegrams, and grilling of public and private citizens, some of whom haye} been guilty of no more serious offense than buy- ing a few shares of Sinclair oil stock, 7 As one Washington correspondent puts it: “When a malignant case of political corruption breaks out in Washington, in the place of call- ing in a competent physician to handle the case and then go about their daily duties it is better politics to declare a holiday and subject not only the victim but the whole community in which he lives to unusual and inhuman treat- ment. In this highly refined age of ‘civiliz: every accused man or woman proved innocent. Yes, congres of ‘civilization’ is guilty until is amusing—to re mut it is getting mighty tiresome to most And thus far nothing tangible . has been brought to light which the courts themselves could not have more readily disclosed and settlel much more capably, for the courts have no in terest in the political advantages and disa(l- | vantages of the forthcoming presidential cam paign. The courts are in the stay in. The Dena. crats are out and yammering to get in, even if they have to resort to what is known the “second story” profession to and San Francisco offices and visitors are welcome. | | Seven states to the Pacific coast. He a time to time for statewide ownership of light and power plants, water powers and even tele- phone service, and even abolition of public serv- ice commissions, in the struggles for political leaders to get payroll domination. . | With hundreds of thousands of vutility em- | Ployes under their control city politicians seek political power to get control of state govern- ments and even power over the national con- gress. This is the real secret of attempted pub- lic ownership of interburan and steam railroads. State and national regulation of public util- ities ig now amply provided and is giving fair satisfaction to stockholders, extending into mi excuse for extending the grasp of state or city politicians to larger fields. 1 Implanting Kindness The enactment of a state law in Oregon re- quiring that kindness to animals be taught in all | public schools from fifteen minutes to half an hour each week is attracting nation-wide atten- tion. state superintendent of education of Texas has sent broadcast to the schools and school children of that state this appeal: ‘+ “I take pleasure in directing your attention to the fact that education in its broadest sense includes the training of the individuals in order that good character may be the main result. We cannot have good character unless we ob- serve the ‘golden rule’ and the observance of the ‘golden rule’ should be made broad enough in its application to include animals as well as peo- le. “To this end I wish to endorse the teaching of humane treatment of animals as a means of in- stilling into the minds of the children the proper regard for the feeling of others. If we can have the conception that the word ‘others’ includes all animal life we will have taken a long step toward world peace, for the. individual who has this feeling and will apply the ‘golden rule’ will not be found advocating harsh treatment of in- dividuals. It is the function of the schools to make this contribution to education, and the organization of local societies which have for their purpose the protection of animals and children will contribute very large to the uplift of social conditions.” Paying the Night Watchman Before the war it required about a billion dol- lars a year in taxes to run the government. Now its demands are for from six to eight billions of tax dollars for the federal government alone. On the theory of equal taxation, supposefl to be the basis of raising tax revenue in this coun- try, every man should pay proportionately to his worth. For political reasons it has been a popular | pastime to “soak the rich” and “exempt” the childishness. Excessive income taxes which “soak the rich fellow” have forced his capital into the billions of dollars of tax-exempt securities. For every dollar that is thus taken from the tax roll in this mnanner, an additional dollar is loaded on to the Wage earner and industry to maintain the cost of government. It is ridiculous to see the time of our congress taken up for months trying to figure out how to lower the taxes of the little fellow and at the same time retain laws which exempt the big fel- low from all taxation. If three men were contributing to the cost of a night watchman and you allowed one of them to discontinue his payments because he loaned the other two money, the other two would not only have to pay interest to the third man, but they would have to assume, as well, his third of the cost for the protection given equally to all three by the night watchman. An Object Lesson j Premier Mussolini, of Italy, former Socialist leader who advocates many policies that savor f socialism says that in justice to Italy all ma- jor state owned and operated public utilities must be returned to private ownership because those utilities, especially the state owned and operated railroads, are costing the Italian tax- payers unreasonable sums, that users of public utility service are securing that service at the cost of taxpayers who do not use it, Farmers who do not use electricity are taxed to support the great hydro-electric companies owned by the state, while people who do not ride on trains or use them very heavily for freight must pay taxes to maintain roads used by heavy travelers and shippers. \ Railroad workers, Mussolini says, practically own the state railroads and operate them for their own profit. Numbers of employes and wages have increased out of all proper propor- tion. Service is poor, rates three times as high as they were seven years ago, deficits where there had been profits. A Dog's Devotion Fiction is outdone by fact in the devotion of a collie dog that was lost somewhere in Iowa, followed his master’s auto to Indiana and not finding the owner, returned from Indiana to his home at Silverton, Oregon. The faithful col- lie literally traversed three states searching for his owner, and arriving at Indiana too late to overtake him, took the long hike back across the ived in Silverton, having travelled nearly th: thous- and miles, flanks worn thin, toenails worn to the quick and feet bruised from his long race to reach home. The owner, a restaurant man,:motored to Iowa to visit relatives carrying the collie puppy along in his motor car. The dog was lost in Iowa and the owner ad- vertised extensively but could not recover him. When he entered the restaurant in his home town he gaye a joyous yelp and made a leap for his astonished owner. ‘ How he negotiated nearly three thousand miles over highways and bridgés across rivers, streets lions of laborers and consumers, and there is no | ing upon the example set by Oregon the) r. The folly of such a program is pitiful in its | Anticipating the charges that may be brought against him in the jcourse of the senate investigation of am office, Attorney General Daugh- erty answered them in a letter to Senator Willis of Ohio. Mr. Daugh- erty frankly admitted that he bought some Sinclair, oll stock long be- fore he ever became connected with the government.» Six months after the Teapot Dome lease was signed he sold the stock. A little later he bought it back, and in the fall of last year disposed of all his Sin- clair holdings at a net loss to him of about.$28 per share. Mr. Daugh- usual in this transaction; nothing improper, nothing indiscreet, and nothing to conceal.” The stock was bought and sold “in the ordinary |course of my personal investments,”” jand not as the result of any informa- tion coming to him as attorney gen- eral. Mr. Daugherty asserted He never was consulted by Secretary Fall or anyone els> with regard to the wisdom or legality of the oll leases, and never rendered an opin- jon on them to anyone. “I had no part of any kind or character, dl- rectly or indirectly,” said he, “in the negotiations leading up to the execution of the oil leases; no in- formation ever came to me in con- nection therewith, and the leases were executed without my knowledge and without any official require- ments or opportunity on my part to know of their execution.” As to his alleged failure to prose- cute Mesers., Fall, Sinclair and Do- heny for the acts charged against them, Mr. Daugherty reminded the senate t he urged the appoint- ment of special counsel for that pur- pose, as he served in the cabinet |with Mr. Fall and believed the coun- try would be better satisfied to have independent attorneys handle the cases. The entire resources of the department’ of justice have been placed at the disposal of those coun- sel by the attorney general's dl- rection. Negligence has been alleged against Mr. Daugherty in his attt- tude toward former ~Director Forbes of the Veterans’ bureau. The fact is that on December 15, the at- torney general placed one of his as- sistants in charge of the Forbes matter, after consultation with the senate committee that had been in- vestigating the bureau.

ESTATE TAXIS BEING DEBATED WASHINGTON, March 10.—The senate finance committee in its con- sideration of the revenue bill today centered attention, on a proposal to revise the estate tax section. Considerable argument has been advanced in favor of making this tax apply directly to the beneficiar- ies of estates in favor of making this tax apply directly to the benefi- claries of estates rather than to the estate as a whole. This plan, it is said, would involve advancing the rates and reducing the exemptions which are now placed at and below $50,000.
