Commenting on his election, Gov
ernor-elect Blaine said:
II shall to the best Of my ability
seek the confidence Of the people who
have renewed their Endorsement Of
my public record. The campaign
against me was unusual. II was a
campaign based on slander Of an or
ganization Of farmers which had in
dorsed me. No issue was presented.
But a system press suppressed my
platform and my public addresses,
and. It is quite remarkable that the
people were able to learn the truth.
The result. plainly shows that with
few exceptions they have lost faith

POINT ISABEL, TEX, Nov. 10
Throwing aside the restraints Of pub
lie life, President-elect Warren G.
Harding got into soft shirt and bag
gy trousers today and went out into
the bay to fish for tarpon. ~
The chief ambition on this trip is
to land one of the monster fish, . fear
said to be the height Of every ang-
ler's desire down here.
This afternoon Senator Harding ex-
poets to motor over to Brownsville
Country Club for goH.s
TIE Harding party shifted as best
it could last night as the one train
from Brownsville jumped the track
with all baggage aboard. There was
much clamor but nobody could do
anything until daylight.
Senator Harding said today he re-
called having seen q cable from Eihu
Root during the summer in which he
urged that the League Covenant be
modified in accordance with the LODI
ge reservations rather than throw it
over entirely. To scrap the League,
Root argues, would bring chaos and
loss of the results of the war. Hard
ing would not comment in any way on
the Root message only to say that
Root was one Of those he expected to
call to Marion for conference during
the winter.

last only until the inauguration Of

last ten days, the next session will
have less than TO- working days. 1t
will readily be seen from this limited
time that the December session will
not be able to enact much legislation
It will do we'll to pass the fourteen
big annual appropriation bills, and
adjourn In time for the presidential
inauguration. #
There ID another thing, besides lack
Of time, which will prevent much, if
any, new legislation in the December
session. As a new congress and a

NEXT CONGRESS NOT EXPECTED
TO ACCOMPLISH MORE THAN
I APPROVING OF APPROPRIATIONS

besides the. appropriation bills, which
that session will endeayor, to put. thru.
One of them is revision of the tax
laws, and some sort Of relief from
the housing situation which has grown
serious in nearly every urban commun-
ity in the whole country. &
An effort will be made in Decem-
Der to completely revise the income
tax laws, but because Of the lack Of
time in that session, it is doubtful If
any new tax bill can be enacted into
law. Both democratic and republican
leaders are very anxious to have the
tax laws, particularly the income tax,
revised from top to bottom. Need
less to say every citizen concurs in
this desire, for the income tax, it
cannot be denied, presses heavily on
rich and poor alike. In the Decem-
ber session Secretary Houston will
ask Congress to make the new law
simpler than the present cumbersome
statute. One Of the; most important
Recommendations Of Mr.. Houston will
be that the commissioner of internal
revenue be authorized to make final
determinations in any tax assessment.
Under the present law a tax case can
be opened time and time again until
the tax payer never knows when he
is thru with litigation with the treas
ury. But lowering Of the whole in
come tax schedule is what is now
desired by congressman and citizens
alike. There are also many imper-
fectiens in the present income tax
law. as happens usually in all COM
plex ana new statutes, and these
must be ironed out. In the revision.
house and senate leaders are said to
plan not only general reduction in
all schedules, but changes so that big
incomes will bear proportionally
larger share of the tax. The s1ittle
fellow will not have to pay as much
as heretofore. This will indeed be
popular legislation with the masses.
The housing situation will also be
considered by the December session.
The shortage Of homes in every Sec
tion Of the land, except in the rural
districts, is almost as serious as the
tax burden and the high cost of liv-
ing. This problem confronting con-
gress will have two angles to bring
about construction of more homes and
apartment houses and to prevent the
rent hogs from further profiteerine
on the helpless tenant. The situation
may result in a Federal law establish
ing rent commission in all cities of
a certain population. Taxation. too,
will be considered as a means Of Is.
lief for the housing shortage, federal
taxes on newly constructed dwelling
and apartments now average about &
percent Of the total cost. This isl.

Late election returns show one Of
the most split ticket Of years but
point to E. F. Ladd's election on the
Nonpartisan's ticket by a greater num-
Der of votes than any other candi-
date, giving him credit for 1882
votes compared to Perry's 81,1 from
1857 precincts out Of 1901.
The Independents are claiming con-
troll of the lower house Of the legisla-
ture with a probability that Hall and
Steen were,re-elscted to the Offices Of
secretary Of state and the treasury
while Miss Nelson has apparently
beaten Miss Ruth Johnson, the Lea

PUBLIC INVITED ID
 SUFFRAGE MEETING
 ON TUESDAY NIGHT
Announced Purpose of Gathering Is to Hear Re- ports of Delegates to
 Chicago

The Birmingham Equal Suffrage As sociation will hold a called meeting Tuesday evening at o'clock at Cable Hall at which time reports of the dele gates attending the national conven- tfon in Chicago last week will be made. This decision was made at called meeting of the executive board yester- day afternoon which was presided over by Mrs. H. E. Pearce, chairman of the local association.
 The public has been invited to be pr esent and it is expected that some interesting facts will be presented re- garding the convention. It is probable that Mrs Solon Jacobs will deliver the speech given before the convention in Chicago last week which is said to be the basis of the fight launched by the Tennessee women attending the con- vention to secure the removal of Mrs. Jacobs as a member of the national women's democratic executive commit tee.
 A number of the most prominent women in Birmingham who are in- vestigating the statements said to have been made by Mrs Jacobs in Chicago are going forward with their work and will wait until after the meeting Tues day night before taking any action in this matter.
 The statement issued by Mrs. Pearce yesterday afternoon following the meet ing of the board is as follows:
 In accordance with the usual custom following national suffrage conven-
