REVENUE BILL MAY
PASS BEFORE XMAS

The great revenue bill, drawn to
raise approximately $4,000, 900. 600.
which at one time bade fair 10 finger
in the Senate during the entire ses-
sion. may be passed before Christmas.
"ProsresS thus Tar has heen very.
gratIfStnE,- said cha1fmah Simmons,
of the Finance Committee 81 hope
&e shall be able TO get IT out OF the
way before we take our Christmas
holiday. That, however, will not be
possible unless we continue to meet
right up to Christmas, adjourning per-
haps the day, before"
Both sides of the Chamber appaF-
entity agree that the bill should be
passed with as little delay as pos
sibIe.'' said Mr.. Simmons. There
seems no disposition ON the part or
any members of the minority party to
slow UP the work. OF course, they
naturally want to present their views,
but look for no unreasonable delay"
The clause providing for the amount
TO be raised in 1920, is the only STUN
bling block to its speedy passage.
Senator Smoot yesterday gave a
warning to the people that they must
expect tremendous taxes for at least
two years to come to care for the
stupendous expenses caused by the

/ the most dangerous sort OF a Govern
ment adventure"
Speaking OF the act OF 1866. which
authorized Congress to take over the
telegraph lines, Congressman Moon
said:
Telegraph companies recognized
they were invading a Government
field and Congress reserved the right
to take them over.
THE Interpretation was that the
/ telegraph system was inevitably
linked with the Federal postal sys-
TEN and the law laid the burden on
, the private companies to abandon
the instrumentalities when Congress
determined they must become part Of
the postal system
He is blind who sees an invasion
Of private rights in doing so"
Moon advocated compromising the
companies for their property, all
though, he said, the Government was
not bound to do so.
The real objection TO assuming
Government control of all public util-
tiles" said Steenersoh." is the fact
that 1t is dangerous to free institu-
tions.
III you have 5000, 900 Government
employees with their friends, how long
will IL be before, by an increase in
salary or promise OF an increase, one
President can perpetuate himself eth
er in his own person or in the person
OF his son-in-law or some other rela-
tive?"
Questions Justice
81 question the justice OF the
American taxpayer of the director
generals order making wage in
creases retroactive in effect and pay
ing $3.50, .2IG in back pay" he said.
He advocated a system Of Federal
incorporation for the roads, broad
ening the powers of the Interstate
Commerce Commission and control
over stock and bond issues to pre-
vent watering.
The wireless control bill, the first
Government ownership measure to
come to Congress, will have its pro-
vision considerably curtailed by a
compromise in the House Merchant
Marine Committee, committeeman
said today.
The navy will be given absolute
control OF ship TO shore business, and
the right to handle transoceanic
business on the same footing with
private companies. Naval officers
say that with this power they can
soon drive private companies out OF
business through lowering rates and
have a virtual monopoly Of high
power stations.

Inspector Dryer was curious to

Inspector Dwyer said he did not
doubt that Mrs. Field had blue blood
in her veins. but he maintained that
blue blood did not give her a right
to violate the law.
Mrs. Field said she did not know
she was violating the law When she
tried to prevent the sale of the

was UNFOLDING the law.
