CONGRESS BACKED HOOVER.
Any President with a hostile Con
gress on his hands has a hard row of
stumps ahead of him. The task of
government is eased a trifle when only
one branch of Congress Is of an op
posite political faith, and that is what
happened in the first session of the
72nd Congress just adjourned, though
the House. Democratic by a small
margin, made sport of pricking Mr.
Hoover's hide with pins.
Under the circumstances, the Presi
dent fared handsomely at the hands
of this Congress. Nearly every impor
tant measure he asked of it was
granted, and most of those he op
posed were rejected. That may not
be as one would have it on either side
as to measures that wer given con
sideration. But it is true nevertheless,
that Mr. Hoover has every right to be
pleased with the way he was given
cooperation. The stress of the times
to an extent broke down party lines
In the interest of enacting measures to
relief agriculture, business and Indus- i
try. and that accounts in large de--
gree for then marked success Mr. 1
Hoover s program met in the Senate
and House.
The Associated Press summary of
the major legislation In the last ses
sion of Congress throws light on the ,
situation. The President’s recommen
dations. In his annual message to Con
gress last December 8, and what Con
gress. including the Democratic
House, did about them, line up like
.this
Mr. Hoover asked more money for
federal land banks; congress voted
1125.000.000.
He proposed increased taxes; con
gress passed a measure to raise sl,-
118.500.000 more.
He wanted the Reconstruction Fi
nance Corporation; congress establish
ed it with a $3,800,000,000 fund.
He asked economy; congress voted
to cut expenditures $150,000,000 by a
special bill and the senate set up a
committee to study the question dur
ing the summer. All appropriations
were reduced under the budget esti
mates.
He wanted to make more paper
eligible for discount by federal reserve
banks; the bill sponsored by two Dem
ocrats —Senator Glass of Virginia, and
Representative Steagall of Alabama—
did that.
He asked rejection of the dole; di
rect gifts by the federal government
to individuals were not approved.
He suggested the use of federal re
serve funds to liberate funds in failed
banks; congress did n<?t grant that al
though the house passed a bill to
guaranty deposits in national banks.
He wanted to avoid a general tariff
revision; no general revision was at
tempted but Democrats sent to him
for a veto their bill for changes.
He proposed changes in railroad
laws; several measures to that end
are pending In both houses.
He sought adjustment of anti-trust
laws to remove Injustices; congress
has not granted that.
He urged additional federal regula
tion of Interstate power transmts
elon; congress failed to act.
He opposed additional veterans ex
penditures; congress approved a bill
to liberalize bonus certificate loans
but turned down cash payment of the
bonus and set up a special committee
to study veterans benefits during the
recess.
He wanted a general overhaul of
banking laws; the Glass bill pending
In the senate Is drawn to accomplish
that purpose.

HENDERSON, TK C.J DAILY BIBPATCH' THURSDAY' JULY 28, IMS "
Who’s Who in Washington!
BY CHARLES P. STEWART s |
DR F. BCOTT McBRIDE has
more tha qualities of a missionary
and not ao much thosa of a political
dictator aa had hla predecessor In
charge of tha Anti-Saloon league's
activities in Washington, the late
Wayna B. Wheeler.
It may ba that this will turn out
to/ tha league's advantage In the
event of tha 18th amendment’s re
peal.
Whealar, had ha Buffered such a
reverse In hia time, undoubtedly
would have been done for. He would
have been like Napoleon after Water
loo. Hla program was one of force,
and force generally falls to work
after It has suffered a major set
back. Thera may be Just as much
of it, but by defeat it loses the psy
chological somethlng-or-other ever to
ba effective again.
Dr. Mcßride's program, however,
essentially la one of persuasion. The
doctor is not very militant. Perhaps
that la the main reason why he has
not been so successful as Wayne B.
Wheeler was »ln trying to keep to
the league's policies as established by
Wheeler—policies which were second
nature to Wheeler, but entirely un
suited to Dr. Mcßride's temperament.
On the opposite hand. If the Wheel
erian method of fighting Demon Rum
with physical shot and shell has to
be abandoned, and the doctor la left
with no recourse but to confine him
self to PREACHING total abstinence.

TODAY’S HOROSCOPE
Here is another strong characteer.
with more subtlety than that of yes
terday, and more given to scientific
methods, capable of carrying out dif
ferent resiearches to the ultimate end.
There may develop a wein of cun
ning and sometimes cupidity, a keen
sense of rivalry, and some jealousy.
These tetter traits Should be kept
strictly under control, if present.
WET DRYQUESTION
IS FOGGY DESPITE
PARTY PLATFORMS
(Continued from Page One.)
footedness is the case of Senator Dill
of Washington, who, with a long, dry
record. Insists that "the recently
adopted ('Democratic) platform pled
ges only the candidates for the com
ing election"—hla own term being
good for two years more.
Hard times further complicate the
situation, by accepting economic dis
tinctions between the two political
cairips.
The Democracy Is supposed to rep
resent economic liberality.
The G. O. P. is frankly conserva
tive.
Yet among the voters, it generaly
is agreed that economic liberality is
strongest where sentiment heretofore,
anyway, has been predominantly dry.
Wet strength Is greatest in nor
mally conservative communities.
What will wet conservatives do?
Vote the progressive ticket because
of its wetness? Or hang onto con
servatism, relatively dry as it is?
And the progressives? Will they ac
quiesce in wetness for the sake of
its economic liberality in the present
instance? Or stand pat for prohibi
tion at the sasrifice of their economic
beliefs?
Next November will tell.
It exceedingly frets economic lib
erality’s leadership that any attention
whatever is paid to the wet-and-dry
problem.

with altogether too long a name) pro
claimed:
"While on democratic principles we
recognize the right of the people to
vote on the abolition or modification
of the eighteenth amendment, we con
demn the Republican and Democratic
parties for subordinating urgent eco
nomic issues to the liquor question."
The idea that this is what the Re
publican and Democratic parties real
ly did do deliberately, as the League
of Independent Political Action im
plies, of course, is perfectly ridiculous.
If ever there was an issue which
both party managements fooght to
keep clear of. it has been prohibition.
It is an issue which politicians de
test—incalculable, uncertain, unman
ageable. Far from forcing it on the
people, the people forced it on them;
simply insisted on it, until the parties
had no escape but to take it up.

enough to maintain the extended

for the six months term, it is pointed
out here.
The recent opinion on this subject
by Attorney General Dennis G. Brum
mitt specifically states that while the
. tax must be levied by the various tax
levying bodies, that these bodies, to
gether with the State'Board of Equal
ization have the power to scale the tax
down to the point where It will sup
port the extended term on the same
standard as the State-supported six
months school term.
"With conditions as they are now,

districts should levy a tax larger than

that needed to support the extended
term on the same standard as the six
months term." Dr. A. T. Allen, State
superintendent of public instruction
said. "In fact, w are entirely satis
fied with Mr. Brummitt’s ruling, since
if it had been lawful for county
'boards of commissioners or district
boards to refuse to levy the special
district taxes for the extended term
this year, there is little doubt that
many of the extended term schools
would have been forced back to only
the six months term this coming year.
Such a course would have been a de
cided step backwards.”
Now that 85 per cent of all the white
school children in the State are in
eight months school term could be
had on a State-wide basts for little or
no more cost Than the extnded term
is costing in th special tax districts,
since a Statewide eight months term
could be administered so much more
