Congress will afford 1t. but the case is
being presented in committee with
much earnestness.
Many a matter hangs fire in Congress
because sentiment appears inadequate
to warrant action. Thus it is with the
rural credits bill to which the Demo-
cratic party is committed by its plat
form. A bill has been framed in the
Senate and extensive hearings have been
held. However it seems the subject has
not been threshed over sufficiently. In
some parts OF the country there is lively
demand for this bill, but President viii.
son discouraged immediate action by
what he said about the matter in his
annual message to Congress. Facts are
that the federal reserve bank system is
calculated to afford some relief to far
mers in the way Of financial accommo-
dations. But that law has not fully
demonstrated what it can do and head
men at Washington are a little wary of
starting something else in financial and
banking laws till they know just how
what they now have is likely to work
out.
Numerous measures Of some import
ance are on the verge and a wave Of the
hand or the question of how a law
maker liked his breakfast may deter
mine whether they are written upon the
statute books in this Congress That
is the case with the Coast Guard bill,
which the Senate has passed and which
has been favorably reported to the
House. It is on the calendar and could
come UP some Monday If unanimous
consent were granted. The bill has long
been urged 1t would consolidate the
Revenue Cutter Service and the Life Saw
ing Service and thus put the latter on
a military basis, with pension for dis
ability and retired pay for officers and
certain enlisted men. This is one of the
bills to which Minority Leader Mann in
terposes objection.
The hackers of little Congressional bills
have another chance, however, and that
is in a motion to suspend the rules. But
it requires a two-thirds vote to get a
bill through by that process and a two
thirds majority is not always easy to
obtain. The last five days of a session
of Congress, such as the present one
are suspension days and that is the op-
portunity of the man with minor bill
He looks forward to these days as a
time of hope. There will be a mighty
scramble those five days, especially with
bills that have passed the Senate and are
waiting an action by the House
Many who are asking Congress for
enactments, press aggressively but are
working for a record and good standing
for their measures. For example the
prohibitionists had no idea of getting
their resolution for a Constitutional
amendment through at this session oi
Congress. None the less the other day
they brought the resolution before the
House and fought hard for it, They now
have a good talking point. that their
resolution commanded a majority Of the
House, even though it was not the re-
quired two-thirds. a number Of mat
tiers are in that stage before the presen,
Congress.

Plans are on foot which may result in
the establishment of a municipal water
works system in the town Of Arson in
the near future. The agitation was COM
menced in the lower village three years
ago, several meetings being held but
nothing definite done. A little over a
year ago a committee was appointed to
Investigate the whole situation. Estj-
mates having been secured from compe-
tent engineers as to the cost of establish
ing a plant A pure water supply can
be secured from either Embden pond
or Hancock pond At recent meet
ing of the committee the situation was
gone over carefully and it was reported
that such a plant could be established
OF sufficient capacity at a cost that it
could pay for itself from the revenue
and that in a few years it would be
