Why Not a Conference Now2


Why would it rot be good thing for
the Senate finance committee and the
House ways and means committee to
hold conference nova joint meeting
and discuss the revenue question
Time might be saved; and time is money
and more, at present.
The ways and means committee has
acted on the question. and the House has
ratified the committees action. But
place in the matter. The government
needs, and must have. much larger
sum of money than was then proposed
The bill as passed by the House is in
adequate. More money than it provides
is absolutely necessary.
It is this condition which the finance
committee faces, and is trying to meet
The difficulty is generally recognized
and could not easily be exaggerated.
According to one member of the ways
and means committee-Mr Hill of Con-
necticut, republican-the situation is
such that the whole matter should go
back to the House; that practically a
new bill is necessary, and. under the
Constitution, that bill must originate in
the House.
While the contention is largely aca-
demic it affords basis for debate if
debate is insisted on. A conference now
might settle that point, and remove it
as possible obstruction
The House bill is properly and formal
" before the finance committee, which
has reviewed and amended it, and was
on the eve of calling it up for the SEN
ate's action when halted by fresh de-
mands from the Treasury Department
for more money. It is this demand
which the committee has now under
consideration, and wants to meet.
A conference now between the two
committees might smooth the way some
what for the conference which Will take
place, and represent Senate and House,
after the Senate has voted on the
amended measure.
Neither partisanship, nor pride of
opinion, nor fine points of constitutional
Interpretation. should operate to delay
or add to the endorsements of this
piece OF business. Uncle Sam needs the
MONEY! His enoaOemenfa ara 4b, 1,rc
est he has ever known. In addition to
enormous sums for himself, he must pay
out enormous sums for others, and pay
promptly.
The necessary money can be raised,
but should be raised as equitably as pos
sible, avoiding both extremes-of as
sessing the rich because they are easily
reached, or the poor because they are
helpless and can neither hide nor es-
cape.

Every day his health they'd question,
Delicate was his digestion.
He was never stout of lung,
And his nerves were so high strunRl
So they eoddled him and kissed him.
Till one summer day they missed him
A recruiter came along;
Said, "This youngsters in all wrong!
Out of kindness, wen enlist him."
Once he was a pretty boy,
Dolled up like Christmas toy.

While he does as they command him.
