Few of them ever get beyond committee, and an infini- testimal proportion reach the White House or the Governor’s office. and on the capitals of the various vital to constituencies. WO nevertheless, In the Seventy-fourth Congress 14 resolutions were bills and introduced in the House and 0453 in the Senate. Total laws and resolutions approved by the President, including public and private meas- ures, were 1522. The House passed 1,346 House bills and ninety-four House joint resolutions. The Senate passed 1222 Senate bills and ninety-eight Senate Joint resolutions. Of all the bills introduced in the House only 2.891 came out of committee and only 2,554 were acted upon. The President vetoed seventy-seven House bills, two House joint resolutions, sixty-seven Senate bills and one Senate joint resolution. Only one bill the bonus: In the 1933 Alas the Bers introduced a total of 143 bills of which 58 fin- ally The Senate 60 bills in is bill hopper was passed over his veto. ka Legislature, House mem- were enacted Territorial received and passed 32 of them. ETERNAL VIGILA E THE OF PROTECTION PRICE Despite the Lindberg law which makes capital punishment the penalty for kidnaping, another abduc- , tion of a small boy shocks the nation. Charles Matt- son, the 10-year-old son of Dr. W. W. Mattson, a widely known Tacoma dentist, has been snatched from the home of his parents and rushed off—where, no one knows. {ment forces known as the G-men was becoming too alarm was sounded in some sources that the govern- powerful and loomed as a danger such as the secret police of Russia or the Nazi of Hitler were depicted In fact, there was one little outbreak of the charge of “politics” and darts were directed at the head of J. Edgar Hoover, head of the G-men. This latest crime in acoma would lend support to the theory that the government forces to combat crime are not yet too strong, nor in fact strong enough. Too often local law enforcement bodies in cities, counties and states are too limited in their scope They are bound by laws limiting their jurdisdiction and often before they have an opportunity to act, local political maneuvering and technicalities are introduced which curb their effectiveness. Therein| lies the strength of the G-men who are not tied by some county or state border line. Immediately, they are on the job in the present case. Undoubtedly, they will track down the kidnaper of little Charley Mattson somewhere in the country. Eternal vigilance is the price of protection.

J‘ SHOWMEN OR SEAMEN L | George Bernard Shaw, the famed British play+' wright, is reported to have his own method for pre- venting seasickness. By relaxing his muscles and' allowing his knees to sag, he slithers up and down| the deck of a rolling ship past rows of green-faced passengers huddled in their deck chairs, and never. ‘ he says, feels the slightest nausea. The only| trouble with his remedy seems to be that it m.’.kcs‘ the other passengers feel worse just to look at him.| Report is that Henry Sidgwick, English philoso-i‘ pher, also used to have his method of prevention. He| would choose a secluded corner of the deck and there | declaim poetry at the rolling seas in a loud and ex-| pressive tone and with emphatic gesticulation. Given the opportunity, he could keep it up for a couple of | hours. But the ship's officers would request him to desist. His behavior frightened other passengers into thinking him deranged. i The best remedy for seasickness is not to get sick, and if the whole truth were known it is pro-| bable that both the above named gentlemen were not actually victims of seasickness but purely imagina- | tion, and with a bit of a flare for showmanship. 50 Happy New Year! The Rich I\nm\ a Bargain (New York World-Telegram) United States savings bonds were devised to enable people of limited means to invest in their government In the twenty-one months the bonds have been on the market purchases have been made by some 700,000 investors, but by no means are all of them in the low- | income category | The rich, who want to stay that way, have found the baby bonds to be very attractive investments. So have banks and trust companies and other fiduciaries. Banks own 6 per cent of all of the $690,000,000 worth of baby bonds that have been sold to date Postmasters report that a great many wealthy in- dividuals are purchasing the maximum-—$10,000 worth a year. Whaj else was to be expected? The rich have | long kmm-n‘ at 1o other investment can give quite | the same se e feeling that government bonds give. And the rate of return on baby bonds is much higher than the interest on government bonds of larger de- nominations. Some of us who can less afford to take chances might do well fo emulate this latest example by which the rich get richer. Very few of us have an idle $750 to use in buying a bond that can be cashed in ten years hence for $1,000. But some of us have $75 that we can profitably save by buying a $100 bond, and more of us have $37.50, the price of a $50 bond, and HAPPY I BIRTHDA Y| 20 YEARS AGO The Empire extends cangmtula ‘ tions and best wishes today, theny virthday anniversary, to the joldow-' ing: le Frum The Empire =i | DECEMBER 31, 1916 | The Scandinavian governments |had sent a joint note to the bel- 'rents supporting the peace note DECEMBER 31 Cary L.
