HOME AFFAIRS TO
OCCUPY CONGRESS
One Big Task 1t Faces Is to
Release the Resources
of Nation.
TAX LAWS OUT OF WAY

Congress, during the coming year, will
find itself able to devote more attention
to purely domestic affairs than in the
past twelve months, in the view OF
thoughtful men at the Capitol. Utiliza-
ton of conserved natural resources IS
one branch, for example. To unlock-the
scaled-up resources and apply them to
use under public control, but private
direction, will be the object.
Temporary cessation of activities
along other lines will make this pos
siblc. 1t is generally assumed that no
general further tax legislation will be
essayed at this session. The new tax law
on the books has yet to be tried out. as
to efficiency of workabiiity and adequacy
as revenue raiser. If more money is
needed in an emergency, the Secretary
of the Treasury has authority for
further sale of bonds and Treasury GER
tificates.
The railroad question: to use a COM
prehensive term, will be out OF the
hands Of Congress as soon as the bill is
passed to make effective the Presidents s
plan for government control of all the
roads. Congress, when 1T reconvenes
Thursday, will find that in the recess
the executive has by a stroke of the
pen foreclosed the necessity for any
general railway legislation in the near
future.
