CONGRESS AND THE NEWSPAPERS.

1t probable that the finance bill will impose
a heavy tax on newspapers on the basis applied to
other industry The discussion this matter at Wash
ngOn suggests that many congressman feel personal

or fanced injuries, in their experience.
The newspaper community may well ask itself what
It has done to provoke this feeling of hostility This does
not that publishers and editors should fawn and
give fair treatment to the who serving the
Try in its law making bodies.

Yet when all this said it remains true the Congress
lays itself open to attack by persistence in practices

pork habit the parceng of favors to districts the
log rolling spirit that leads to vote each others
schemes in order to get their through. Arbitrary
traditions like that called senatorial courtesy shield unfit

secure clear cut action.
The principal trouble is that too many congressman
anxious about their political future too fearful of
defeat at the polls They SILVER and shake before crit

bottled up, they could get by So there grows up among

Congress dawed and hesated responsive to the diverse
public sentiment existing in the several sections of the
country.
1t then appeared that while our people promptly

the call of the country they not ready to sacr

business disadvantage So Congress talked and argued

WAR MATERIAL FIRST.

At conference of lumber dealers with the shipping

that private contracts pay better than work

If this spirit should prevail generally, our fighting
would be grand botch. Supplies could not go for

be delayed while debts pile up and losses of men
multiply.
