don't see any reason why Congress
can not adjourn between June 1st an
18TH said Hon. Oscar Underwood t
| the writer when he asked about at
journment.
| There is really little to do now
Congress does not intend to take II
the agricultural schedule. The voic
of the farmer has been too plain an
insistent on that point. No pretende
sop of farmers free list" will b
submitted this session, as an antidot
for the slaughter of most Of tn
things that the farmers are interes
ed in.
| After all, suppose you were raisin
apples and it was proposed to encou
age competition by your Canada
neighbors. would you like it? @
suppose that you had put all you ha
in the world into an orange or len
on grove. Would you be complaisar
if it were proposed to take the dut
off of oranges or lemons? Look {
the cheap labor of Mexico, Cuba, j
maica, Spain, Italy, all of which woul
be competing with you at once on e
en- terms? Guess you would soon joi
in singing:
you gotta stop a-kickin' MY dc
aroun'."
And so with the conventions closin
let &C if only someone will show I
let 60 if only someone will show
how to do SO, there is prospect f(
an early rest from tariff talk and
| switch to some red hot political d
ings.,
1t may seem to the average persc
that it's been a warm campaign. Bl
just wait; there are plenty of indie
tions that it's hardly started. Whe
about thousand congressman g
turned loose, all campaigning fl
themselves as well as "the ticket, Il
summer air will fairly sizzle, and Il
voters will get all the Chautauqua c
atory they can assfmilate, and f
nothing.
