| Congress meets today in regu-
lar session. We may expect some
thing to happen during the ses-
sion. The area of war may be
enlarged by a declaration thereof
against Austria, or the war, de-
claring power may conclude we
have a job big enough with what
we have on hand. The Presi-
dept's message will appear in a
few days and very much will de-
pend on the attitude he assumes
on this question. II he says no
war, there will be none. If he
says war, the authority will be
granted to proclaim it. Our Con-
gress is very plant, and gracious
to the Presidents wishes. What
else may be expected from our
law making power? Very much
in many ways. That taxation
will be relaxed is not among the
things reasonably to be expected.
No, if any change, the area of
taxation will be enlarged, and
maybe some inequalities righted,
or at least, for justice sake, made
more equal, and to place the bur-
den more upon the wealth Of the
nation. However, we will cease
to prognosticate and abide time
to see what may happen, and in
case our prophecy may prove
true, we may think our guessing
is as good as somebody, else's
| vision.
Here we are at the beginning
of the last month of 1917, and in
another four weeks this year will
end, when we may take a areview of
the events and accomplishments
of our life for this brief period.
Have we accomplished anything
| worth while? If not, has our
life been a benefit to our fellow
and the community of which we
are part? Let us rise equal to
the requirement upon us, and do
the things that will make us bet
ter, and more worthy citizens a.
mong our fellows. Doubtless we
may all do better. and the very
weakest may add very much to
their ability to do good.
