Legislation of a remedial character, | such as has been promised by the demo- | cratic platform, will hatdly be enacted by President Hoover or the congress which meets next month. ! A special session of the newly elected | congress must be called by the president- elect. Such a course was pursued by President Wilson in 1913. Mr. Wilson} ealled a special session in March of 1913, but he did not wait until that time to take action. Before that special session con- vened, President Wilson had his tariff re- vision act in shape for passage and it was passed within a month of the convening of the speeial session. Mr. Roosevelt should follow the Wilson example. Unless a special session of congress is called, there is a possibility of real danger in the democratic majority in the congress. With the first session of the congress just elected scheduled to meet in December, 19383, just thirteen months hence, there will be an opportunity for every special interest to proselyté among the members of that congress. Lobbyists, propagandists and poli- ticians will have plenty of time in which to work. Newspapers and advertising columns, subsidized magazines. and other publications, will all be available for ex- erting pressure in favor of special interests and special programs. This has been the history of all former congtesses with the one exception of that of President Wilson. The thirteen-months-old congress of 1898 had so many tariff ideas by the time it met that Grover Cleveland spent an entire year fighting its tariff views and then dis- gustedly permitted the tariff bill enacted by it to become a law without his ap- proval. It became a law and had no chance to show its merits before another presidential election came along and it was repudiated at the polls. SCURRILLOUS SHEETS ’ Nowhere and at no time is a scurrillous so-called newspaper welcome in any com- munity for any length of time except briefly by the morbidly inclined. .reader. Were this not true, such papers would be financial successes, but invariably they die a lingering, if not a sudden death after be- ing a heavy drain on the purse of the pub- lisher. Key West has been singularly free from such newspapers, but once in a blue moon, there does appear a paper that makes itself obnoxious to the community and is tolerated for atime. Of one such Jefferson B. Browne relates in his book “Key West, the Old and the New,” and the reference fol- lows: “For several years a discharged Union soldier by the name of Morgan ~ ran a small paper called The Guar- dian. He had no policy but that of abuse and vituperation. He was editor, publisher, printer, and eked out a miserable existence. When he died there was no dne to follow him to his grave, and bystanders were called in to assist the undertaker to put his cof- fin into the hearse. The scene was a pitifal one and made an impression on the writer, who witnessed it.” THE VOLSTEAD ACT That the Volstead Act will be amended by the session of congress which meets next month is not only a possibility, but in view of the vote of last week, it is more than probable. The farmer rightly. believes that legal- ization of the brewing of beer will help him and increase the market for his products. Only the professional reformer, who has been almost entirely discredited, will be opposed te the immediate abolition of this feature of ‘prohibition. Even some of the former militant prohibitionists, more intelligent than their fellows, realize that only liberalization will reduce crime and control the further development of criminal power. With so many reasons for action and so few for a continuance of present condi- tions, relief should come early. President Hoover ean hardly register further opposi- tion to this reform.
