Wharton put these statesmen ef, and
they went away doubting whether they be
would Lupport the "old man" r fight t
him. The cearesmsan'a presence In as
the little town was an event, and he a
had callers all day long who seemed be
to need help ia different ways. Sol t
diers desired pensions, mothers asked be
for positions in Washlngton for their g
sons; young womeeaImld to see about th
clerkships; widows, whose husbands ft
he had known, came to borrow money. tU
He was honestly glad to see all these w
people and, when he could, he helped w
them; he rarely made an enemy, even a
though be always was frank. I
It was Saturday evening, and Whas al
ton was just entering on his second ye
week at home, he and his friend, "Ike" g
Russell, were sitting on the southern w
porch of the congressman's home. n
Their wives and daughters were in the ai
parlor around the piano, and the two
men were at that preliminary stage n
of conversation In which ideas are fi
conveyed by grunts and monosyllables. m
"What did Hughey of Smith City o
want today?" asked Russell
"About two hundred, more or less," i
said the congressman.
"Hughey's a thief; he'd spend about a
$25, and the rest would go. into his I
jeans."
"I suppose so," Wharton answered. t
"Say we lose Smith county?"
"Well, you say," said his friend.
"Did you see Higgins, from Lee val
ley? He told me last month that he
had five fellows who could swing Lee 1
county for $100 apiece." a
"Ugh," grunted the congressman. I
"That makes $2,300 so for, If I come
down."
"Wetl, that's cheaper than yeou got
oef before-by several hundrea." "
Wharton yawned, and the silence
that followed was broken only by the
tinkle of the cow bells in the valley
below the town, and the splash of wa
ter over the dam across the river that
runs around the village. Occasionally
a the sound of voices singing on the wa
ter or the notes of a guialtar would come

In the parlor was silent, and the moon
was barely visible under the eastern
corner of the porch. The men had

Now for the Ship Subsidy Legislation
4SIIHlNGTON.-Followingl a con
f,,remce with President linrding.
Representative Campbell (Kan.),
chairman of the house rules commit
tee, announced at the White House
that congress would be convened in
extra session November 20.
As chairman of the rules committee,
Mr. Campbell has much to do with es
tablishing the order of legislative bust
ness in the house, and he said the first
matter to be taken up would be ship
msubsidy legislation.
President Harding recently told
Speaker Gillett that he wants to avoid
Le ilation Changing the Revenue Law
L" GISLATION' materially changing
Sthe present revenue law is unlike
ly at the coming session of congress,
although recommendations along this
line will be incorporated in the annual
report of Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon. to be made public early In De
cember.
The feeling among Republican lead
ers Is that the time is not quite ripe
for pressing revenue legislation. Some
changes are considered desirable in
the present law, which was placed on
the statute books in November, 1921,
but it is the consensus that from a
practical standpoint it would be un
wise to attempt anything of a compre
hensive nature at this time.
Passage of a bill amending the reve
nue law could be accomplished inathe
house without serious difficulty, In all
probability. When the bill reaches the
senate, however, it would be open to
amendment, and in view of an agita
tion for radical measures, such as the
restoration of the excess profits tax.
higher estate taxes, and publicity of
tax returns. It might be loaded down
with provisions which woul4 be more
obnoxious to the present administra
tion than the law as It stands.

calling the next congress i extra ses
sion after March 4. Mr. Harding be
lieves the country would welcome a
legislative holiday c" nine mrnths next
year.
By calling congress In extra session
two weeks this fall, president Harding
believes the ship ;ubsidy legislatk)U
can be well under way If it has not
been finally passed in the house by the
time the regular session begins Decem
ber 4.
When President Harding yielded to
the desire of his party leaders and did
not insist upon consideration of ship
subsidy legislation in the last session
of congress lie let it be known that he
would insist on its consideration at an
early date.
The feeling is still t.rong that it will
be impossible to get through any sub
sidy bill because of the pronounced op
position manifested in various sections
of the country. Nevertheless the Ex
ecutive wants congress to go on record
on legislation which he feels must be
enacted if America is to maintaln a
merchant marine. - .
Such recommendations as will be
made by Secretary Mellon, it is stated,
will be chiefly for the purpose of In
fluencing public opinion in the direc
tion which the administration believes
the revision eventually should take.
Secretal'y Mellon's recommendatiqns
will include those made in his annual
report a year ago, such as a further
reduction In surtax on individual in.
comes, a reduction from the high war
time estate taxes. and some method of
raising necessary additional revenue
by a tax on certain specific articles or
a low-rate general tax on a broad class
of articles or transactions.
Each of the three recommendations
meets with strong opposition from the
radical element in congress.

slonal Record workers burry into the
elevators that will carry them to the 4
new cafeteria on the top foor of the

plying a phonograph and perhaps
dancing.
This government bureau Is the first
