GETTING READY FOR
THE NEXT SESSION
Caucuses Over Filling Com
mittees Are Harmonious
only Nine Absentees

Washington, Nov. 29.-Machinery for
the sixty-fourth congress got slowly in
to motion today. Harmony was the
watchword in both the democratic SEN
atorial caucus and the house ways and
means committees session to pick com
mittee selections.
Neither gathering raised the vital
question of party policy. The senators
adjourned to Wednesday when the rules
committee will place cloture plan to
choke off unlimited debate, and Sen
ator Kern will announce the steering
committee.
Kern was unanimously chosen caucus
chairman, and Senator Pittman, of Ne
vada, was named secretary succeeding
Senator Salisbury of Delaware. Only
nine out of the 56 democrats were
absent.
The house committee started the pre-
liminary work of drafting committees
and reached satisfactory division Of
places with the republicans.
Selection of president pro TEN fol
the senate went over to Wednesday
Opposition to Senator Clarke, of Ar
kansas is lessening, hence no difficulty
is expected in choosing him.

Senate Nav Have Cloture.

Washington, Nov. 29.-Wheels of the
congressional machinery turned up to.
day. Senate democrats in caucus, be.
gan consideration of organization foI
the winter. Cloture and revision of the
rules promised some fireworks. The
house ways and means committee start
ed the job of chalking up committee
recommendations, and all because CON
gress meets next Monday.
The senate caucus heard from Sen
ator Owens committee which has been
considering revision of the rules TheiI
report, it was understood, was a recon-.
mendation for a modified cloture. Some
senators, however, seemed to resent en-.
croachment on the time honored right
to talk without hindrance. Despite this
there appeared to be a definite prospect
that some means would be adopted
whereby an unendind filibuster cannot
prevail as in the past.
Reorganization of the senate leader
ship promised to return Senator Kern
ms .najority leader, Senator Lewis as
party whip and Senator Clarke of Ar
kansas as president pro TEN.

be much as in the past
Two republican vacancies exist on
the important foreign relations com
mittee by virtue of the retirement of
Senators Burton and Root. While there
are no democratic vacancies, the COM
mittee must assign Senator Phelan Of
California Senator Underwood of Ala
bama, and four others to berths as new
members.
On the house side, there are many
committee vacancies. Likewise, there
are many new republican members to
be taken care of. The democrats will
caucus Saturday night Then the re-
publicans will have an opportunity to
present their lists of committee recon-
mendations.
Chairmanships on the foreign rela-
tions, appropriations, military, banking,
judiciary merchant marine committees
will remain unchanged.
When the house budget committee
gathered this forenoon there seemed
little prospect of reaching an agree.
ment on Recommendation for a special
budget system.

An amendment to the city charter
will also come up before the legal
voters of Salem. This amendment pro.
vides for means to facilitate the sale Of
property ON which there is delinquent
assessments. The present charter is
faulty in that it does not give salts
factory title to land sold for assess
ments and it often happens that the
city is obliged to take over the prop
erty, or let the assessment remain un.
paid.
The amendment proposed provides fol
the sale and foreclosure on delinquent
assessments in the same manner now
provided by the state law for sale and
foreclosure of delinquent taxes.

Oppression, injustice, domination by greed
are natural steps backward toward the original type
of man and of conditions. Enlightenment failing to
produce genuine progress, the return to force is

COl. GOETHALS, governor Of the Panama

in recommending that civilian employees on the
canal who have served continuously for three years
be given cash bonus by congress, inasmueh as
such rewards have beenvoted to army officers and
engineers on the canal work.
We believe, with Gov. Cocktails that the large
bonus voted to the army officers, merely for doing
their duty faithfully, is unwauanted, but inasmuch
as il has been done, there is no good reason why
the real ditch dggers who stuck it out should not
receive the same recognition. Merely from dol
