WASHINGTON, Dec. Steps
were being taken today to make
effective at once some OF the recon-
mendations President Wilson IN
sage" to congress.
Much of the necessary legislation
is already pending. having been IN
troduced last session, and caught in
the jam created by the treaty.
Here is how the reconstruction pro-
gram as the president recommended
1t, stands today:
BUDGET: The house has passed
the Good bill creating budget
bureau under presidential direction
and an independent auditing system.
A resolution eliminating the seven
appropriation committees Ut the
house and substituting one commit
tee will be considered as soon as the
senate passes the budget bill ?epre.
sentative Good. Iowa. chairman Of
the budget committee, said today.
Senator Mccormick, Illinois, has
prepared much different measure
for introduction in the senate, dele
eating budget making to the treasury
LABOR: Senator Sterling. South
Dakota, republican. said today he
will soon reintroduce his bill for
compulsory investigation and media
ton Of Industrial disputes. 1t pro
vides federal investigating board
empowered to step in after board OF
mediation and conciliation has failed.
The bill prohibits strikes or lockouts.
pending the result of federal invssti-
cation.
UNREST: Immediate action will
be sought on the Sterling bill en-
powering criminal courts to deal with
anarchists, bolshevists and reds
generally, Senator Sterling an
nounced.
Poindexter has similar bill aimed
at disloyal organizations. Several
bills are before the
senate labor committee.
HIGH COST OF LIVING: Bills to
regulate cold storage. packers inter
state distribution Of food, and ex-
tending the Lever food control act
are pending before agriculture COM
mittees of both houses. There is
much opposition to all these meas
ures. A special senate committee
headed by Townsend, Mich, appoint
ed last session to map out suitable
legislation, has never reported.
TAXES AND TARIFF: Simplifica-
ton of income and profits taxes as
Wilson urged is necessary. Represen-
tative Mondell, majority leader OF
the house agreed today. He and
members Of the ways and means
committee, as well as members OF
the senate finance committee are op-
ipnsad to any general taxation or
tarlH rGs,iSion now.
A hard nsn apparently is coming
on the h,lendatton for special
tariffs on dyes and chemicals.
Repeaas OF llle luxury taxes, much
TALKED of last session, appear unlike
,ly. Senator Penrose, chairman OF the
senate finance committee has ex.
pressed the view that tax and tariff
revision when they come should be

PROLIT IN PICS

In July, 1917, Levi Young, living
three miles south of Riley. then a
fifteen -year-old boy, obtained pure
bred DIroc in the distribution of
pigs by a Terre Haute Trust Com
pany Levi was a charter member
of the first Pig Club started in Vigo
County.
From this little start, a hog weigh
ing only 60 pounds, Levi has built
up a herd of pure-bred animals
which row number thirty including
a boar to head the herd and five
sows, which farrowed this spring.
Il wouldn't trade my bunch FOR a
farm in Texas" said the youthful
hog breeder. AT least it would take
over 81. 900 to buy them now"
Hog men who have seen Lewis
animals declare that $1,000 is de-
cidedly conservative estimate in plac-
ing their value. Thus, he has earned
more than $500 a year while attend
ing high school.
The boy expects to pay his own
way through high school and college
via the pig route. He will hold his
first sale next fall and also will con-
sign one or two animals to the
Junior Livestock Breeders Associa-
tion sale, which will he arranged
soon.
