That | fact is counted upon by both the president and his leaders on capi- tol hill to hasten the day of their} departure from Washington. | | As quickly as possible, after Vice President Garner’s gavel falls ‘in the senate and Speaker Rainey’s in the house at high noon on Wednesday, machinery will be i set in motion for levying a liquor tax. Veterans In Fight Leadership in this move rests on the shoulders of two congres-' sional veterans, Senator Harrison of Mississippi, chairman. of the finance committee, will direct the fight in the senate, Representa- tive Doughton of North Carolina, chairman of ways and means, will be the guiding force in the house. Budgetary matters will occupy the attention of both houses al- {most from the start, The various fined clearly in advance. The president’s budget message. must be awaited. As chairman of the two -com- mittees, however, which handle such legislation, Harrison and! Doughton naturally will take thet lead. i On the republican side of the aisle will be found David Reed of Pennsylvania, ranking republi- can on the finance committee. Couzens of Michigan probably will figure prominently in these de-| bates, as will “Young Bob” La-; Follette. In the house, supporting Chair- man Doughton, perhaps Hill of Washington and McCormick of Massachusetts will figure as prominently as any. Treadway of Massachusetts and Bacharach of 'New Jersey will bear the brunt for the republicans, Monetary Policy Debates In connection with the whole! question of the budget there is certain to be canvassed thoroughly the ffelds of ‘sound money,” in- flation and the administration’s} gold policy, which at the end of the year are subjects of public) debate.

In the house, with the blessing, and support of Speaker Rainey, a large bloc of western representa- tives are prepared for a struggle.
