The Tax Reduction Bill, on the whole an improvement in the Federal tax system, providing for a moderate reduction of $222,495,000 in taxes. 4. The Muscle Shoals Bill After a bitter contest an admirable measure was adopted for the operation by a Federal corporation of the Gov- ernment ferti r and power plant, The fate of the bill, as this is written, is still in the hands of the President. On the debit side of the record must be placed two important measures: 1. The Merchant Marine Bill. This measure provides a subsidy to private shipping through subventions for ¢ ving the mails and loans to shipbuilders of $250,000,000" at the lowest rate of interest paid by the Government on any of its obligation: It is one of the numerous instances of the Administration's favoritism to large-scale business at the expense of the taxpayers. 2. The Farm Relief Bill. Fortunately this unworkable measure was killed by an executive veto, but its failure leaves both Cengress and the Administration with a wholly negative record in the matter of farm relief. Along with these sins of commission Con- gress w guilty also of several important sins of omission. It neglected the question of Boulder Dam, and it failed again to carry out any of the recommendations of the President - or of the Coal Commission for dealing with the situation in the bituminous-coal industry.

(New York Times.) tendency to speed up justice by estab- special courts for special cases has taken a new trend in Chicago. Judge Charles McKinley will preside over a newly founded court where any cases having to do with dogs will be tried. Whether a dog bites a man or a man bites a dog, if either resorts to the law the case will be tried in the dogs' court. Even a dog of bad reputation or suspicious character will have a hearing. His master will be arraigned with him, “chiefly as a character The dog may be tried without being present, and mll have to forego trial by a “‘jury of his peers.” In all other respects he will have the usual privileges granted by law to a human plaintiff or defendant. Exactly how penalties will be inflicted is not entirely clear. Masters, of course, must pay the fine for unmuzzled dogs; and vagrant animals, unable to produce a master, sentenced to the lethal chamber.
