It seems now that | something definite will be done earty next week, and that the situation will be eased. In the meantime let's be patient. \ | dicating the ‘HORRORS OF NEXT WAR Speaking before a large audience i London, Arthur Henderson, former British ! foreign secretary, warned that the next great war, if it ever should come, will in- volve the wholesale killing of civilian populations as well as military forces. He declared that the war would be largely fought by aircraft usifg poison gases, from which none in the attacked areas could escape. He also said that it has been found impossible to humanize warfare, for once it is started no power | i can control it, and that the only way to stop such barbarities is to stop war itself. Mr. Henderson’s speech was_ in ‘the nature of a plea for the mobilizing of pub- lie opinion throughout the world against war. ; There is not the slightest doubt that a future war of large proportions would be attended by indescribable horrors. The engines of destruction which civilization has developed might conceivably be em- ployed to. destroy civilization itself, after the manner of Frankenstein’s monster. Whether the nations can produce statesmen able to prevent such a calamity is the most important question now facing the world. “KILLING THE GOOSE Owing to the loss of much _ freight and passenger traffic formerly enjoyed by the railroads, through the competition of automobiles, busses, trucks and air- planes, a situation has been created which makes it increasingly diffirult for the rail- ways to meet operating expenses and main- tain efficient service. The disposition to increase their burdens by further adverse legislation will, if persisted in, inevitably cause a partial or complete breakdown of the nation’s splendid railway structure. Federal, state and local governments re clamoring for more and more tax money with which to meet their mounting expenditures. This tax money must come , not from those As a recent writer from solvent enterpri: which are bankrupt. aptly says. “For the sake at least of our public revenues, let our governors and legislators and bureaus and all our host of material and spiritual pastors and masters give the hard-pressed agencies of commerce and manufacture a much needed opportunity to attend unhindered to their own business for a while, and see if they can not im- prove their own condition and that of the whole country at the same time.” In the present economic crisis the harassment of business and _ industry through oppressive taxation and regulation is another way to “kill the goose that lays the golden egg.” NEGRO CAN’T BE FIRED The present tendency to refuse em- ployment to men beyond middle age has no terrors for John Hyland, a Harlem negro, who has a life job as “superintend- ent” of the Empire Theater in New York. John has been an attache of the Em- pire so long that the memory of man run- neth not to the contrary. He was on duty opening doors of carriages for prominent before John Drew, Maude Ethel Barrymore became playgoers Adams and stars. When limousines took the place of carriages, old John opened limousine doors. Throughout the years he was the soul of politeness and obliging service. But finally advancing age made it necessary to re- place him with a more active man as door opener. And to the credit of a_ kind- | hearted manager let it be said that John was not thrown into the discard. On the contrary, he was promoted to the position of “superintendent,” with few duties or- dinarily, and none at all if he doesn’t feel j like working. Furthermore, it was provided that each new lease of the theater contain a elause that John shall retain his job, whether he is able to work or not. And old John is still as obliging and polite as of To each new manager he explains: “Ah goes wid de lease.” yore.

The reason is that there are actually thousands of them. I the ordinary session of congress there will be from 3,000 to | 5,000 bills offered in the senate, and three or four times that number | law is quite small, So the fact that a bill receives ap- Proval of the committee to which it was referred and that it has been given a place on the calendar of business, assures nothing at all in- | sofar as the average legislative pro- posal is concerned. There always are certain types of bills that will receive attention on the floor of the frouse and senate, but they are neg- gible In number, To be sure, then, that the bill we will discuss can have final action and will not find its way into a pigeonhole of a committee room or be allowed to die on the calendar of business with no record of hay- of the bill creating the Reconstruc- the last congress, Legislation of that type was recommended by the President. convened than bills of identical lan- guage were introduced in both the house and the senate. This was done to enable rapid consideration, since it was recognized that the legisla tion was argently necessary. It received consideration in the house after this manner; following the committee report, two whole days were given over to a general discussion of the legislation. Rep- resentatives were allowed consider- uble time each in which to talk about it—and other things that came into their minds. At the end fof that “general debate,” the read. ing of the bill began. Although the visitor in the gallery could bardly make out what was going on, the reading clerk was reading every line of the bill that was to Set up a gigantic, federal. owned corporation which could snake loans to help out banks, rail- roads, insurance companies, ete., who were sound but whose assets were tied up us a result of the de- pression. Following that reading the bill was “open to amendment,” and it was then that the house mem ership Individually began to exert the power that reposes in them Eventually, amendinents were ac: cepted or rejected until a majority of the members were satistied with the bill, or at least enougl of them were satisfied with it to constitute a controlling group. A roll call was had and the bill was passed, Attendants of the house scurricd around and made a “true copy” the bill, and one of them curried it over to the where the si ate sits. to be done while the senate was in | session, Through the same routine of com taittee procedure in the senate, 1 went. It was reported with a recommendation that It be pussed but “with amendments,” for the sen ate committee had other ideas, The senate voted to give the bill its im mediate attention, and debate he gan, a general tulkfest. More amend ments were proposed aud some of them were accepted by the senute, and In the end the bill av it came from the house was hard to r nize in the language which the ate passéd as the shape in whic! wanted the law to be. A senate messenger then had the duty of advising the house that “Reconstruction bill,” us it had come to be known, had been passed by the senate but that it had been amended. Of course, the concur rence of the house was requested but everybody knew that the house ty it meetir the WAY pre would not concur just that way. In stead, the house requested “a con | ference” with the senate, Senate agreed. house then { named five of its members—they al | ways are from the committee that | hnnated the Bil—and in due tin these ten Individyals tried to reneh | an accord on Me terme of th | lation ina | selves, { This is where the grontest of horse ttading fh the wortd has fre } beginning.
