REC CONSTRUCTION THE BIG ISSUE
BEFORE CONGRESS and COUNTRY
OUR sHINGT|oN LETTER

Many After-the War Bill Proposed
Senator Overman Brings Out What
Is Considered to Be the Admins
tration BilEC olver Answers Trade
Commission Critics Very Effective
ly-President's Appeal for Suffrage
in Senate Turned Down. &
- Washington, D. C.-Bulgaria's COLI
lapse has brought a sudden need for
revamping of the program for the
congressional campaign. On the
face of, things, the prospects now are
that Turkey and Austria will be
forced to surrender before spring,
and that the complete triumph of the
allies will take place next summer.
That prospect brings forward the de-
mand for after-the-war statesmen
who can show the country practica.
plan of reconstruction.
Fron. now on, the voters are not
going to be so anxious about how a
candidate voted or spoke last year, as
TO how he is going to vote and speak
in 1919 and 1920. The political issue
now is: How shall we deal with the
problems of rehabilitation What
about jobs for the soldiers and sail
ors? What about the railroads and
tie wires? What about the basic In
dustries, the food and fuel supplies of
tie nation, the shoes and clothing and
all the other necessaries? Shall we
| de:eiop the wartime federal control
OF bu dacss into a better control Tor
times of peace? Or shall we turn
back the hands of the political and
| industrial clock?
Congress is sprouting plans for re-
construction, these October days,
right and left. The Weeks resolu-
ton in the senate, proposing that
congress should create a joint COM
mite of three Democratic and three
Republican senators, along with a
| similar selection from the house, to
study after-the-war problems, was
the first to get into print. Then Con-
gresham Dick Morgan of Oklahoma
| blossomed. out with a scheme of his
own, which called for the expenditure
OF $50,00O,O0O at the start, to put re-
turned soldiers on the land. And af-
ter the senate Republicans, in caucus,
had indorsed Weeks resolution and
had named a committee to urge it's
adoption by congress, the Democrats
brought out their own semi-official
plan, which is pretty likely to go
through.
THE ADMINISTRATION PLAN.
This Overman bill, which seems to
have the backing of the adnlinistra-
ton, calls for federal commission
on reconstruction, to be made up of
five men, mot more than three Of
whom shall belong to any one poll
teal party, all to be appointed by the
president. The reactionary element
| is opposed to letting the president
select this commission. They are
afraid that he might choose a group
of men with the moral fibre of the
present federal trade commission, and
that the profteering interests would
get the worst of the situation. They
claim that the proper source of re-
construction plans would be q joint
committee of congress. .6 @
In his BILL, Senator Overman pro-
poses that the commission shall re-
port on these problems, among 9th
ers: .o.

The tibia is forced backward:
there is a tendency to bend the knee;

Of gravity within the area of support
