teemed by them privilege, to make a crack in
that federal statute at once highly cherished
and so fervently anathematized-the antitrust
law. The House and Senate have passed to the
stage of final shaping up in conference commit,
tee bill which will permit farmers, planters,
ranchmen. dairymen and fruit growers to COM
btne in associations to market and handle their
products without fear Of being indicted in the
courts for alleged violation Of the antitrust law.

The general agreement in the Senate was
that the bill takes the agricultural producers
mentioned, who for the purpose of this story
will be designated as farmers. from under the
operation Of the antitrust law. which forbids
combina tons in restraint Of trade. That Is to
say, it removes them from indictment under the
law and provides another means Of their being
reached In case Of violation Of the spirit Of the
law.
BY this action Of Congress two classes Of
the population will be exempt from the anti
trust law-labor organizations and farmers
sociations. One class Of corporations has been
exempted-business organisations to carry on
foreign trade. All other businesses, corpora
tons. associations or what not will be subject
to the law. the spirit Of which IL that a COM
bination is not illegal, no matter what its size
or how comprehensive, until it begins to operate

LEGISLATION establishing the
federal budget bureau-about
L. the most radical reform in the
entire history Of the govern
ment-is going to be put through at
this session Of ConKress. probably be-
fore the first Of the year, in order
that 1t may be in operation for the
appropriation bills for the fiscal year
ending June 80 1923. it will be passed
as amended by the House to meet the
veto objections of President Wilson.
and then as soon as President-elect
Harding begins his administration 1T
will be amended back again to its
original form. Mr.. Harding when in
washington urged that this legisla-
tion be put through at this session
The aim is to make it effective by
July 1 next.
Chairman Good Of the House budget
committee has announced this pro-
gram. and Chairman Mccormick Of
the Senate budget committee also said
before he sailed for Europe that he
favored such a course. The action
will be initiated by the Senate. where
the measure failed in the last session.
due to f1libuster by Senator Reed.
The action to amend the budget bill
after Harding comes into control will
be started by the House. according to
the announced determination Of re-
publican leaders.
To make the federal budget more
effective the House in the last session
passed resolution putting all the
authority for making appropriations
into one supercommittee, enlarged
from twenty-one to thirty-ive mem
bers. Senator Curtis has now intro
duced a similar resolution creating
one big appropriations committee in
the Senate.
Work All the Time.
After the reorganization has been
made the budget bureau will see that
the efficiency system is kept working.
SO as to prevent duplication. waste
and extravaganza. The preparation
Of the federal budget is only one part
OF the budget bureaus work. This
Is done once year, but the real work
Of the budget bureau is continuous as
to financial administration.
The director of the budget is to be
the Secretary of the Treasury himself,
who. being member Of the cabinet,
can discuss the financial administra-
ton throughout the entire service
with his colleagues. It is intended
that the Secretary of the Treasury
shall devote his whole time to the
budget. in view Of the fact that all
the non-flnancial duties-such as the
war risk insurance, public health
service. supervising architects Office
will be taken from his immediate ju-
risdiction in the scheme reorgani-
xation.
So it really means reorganizing the
Treasury Department, with the Sec
retary Of the Treasury holding the
powers that Alexander Hamilton had
under George Washington and lost
when the civil service went to pieces
during the regime of Andrew jackson
never repealed, but lost through
disuse. This will make the Secretary
Of the Treasury minister Of finance,
acting entirely under the President.
The President will be held strictly
responsible for all the acts of the
budget bureau. Presidential respon-
sibility is the keynote Of the bill
The machinery for preparation and
submission Of the budget il entirely
under the control OF the President

CONGRESS TO PASS
BUDGET BILL SOON
Plan to Amend 1t Back to Original Form
After Harding Becomes President.
Urgent Need Admitted

and he has complete authority over
appointment and removal Of the on
GERS. the budget bureau being simply
an agency through which the Presi-
dent moves to accomplish certain
functions. Some students of constitu-
tionai law say that the President now
has the power to install q budget sys-
TEN. but needs the machinery, pef-
sonnel. experts-an extra hand, as Il
were. to work with.
1t is the second half Of the bill that
caused its failure at the last session.
Chairman Good Of the House budget
committee called upon c. w. Collins,
jr.. chief OF the legislative references
division of the Library of Congress.
for a brief on the Presidents veto, %
az to show the law with regard to
the rights OF Congress disputed By
the President. This part Of the bill
provides for establishment Of an In
dependent audit by creating q general
accounting Office OF the United States
under the supervision OF the con-
troller general. It 10 an attempt TO
create an onicer who will be an agent
of Congress and critic OF the execu-
tive. He will investigate on behalf Of
Congress all OF the acts OF the execu.
tive omcers in relation to the appli-
cation Of public funds. He viii b
expected to report to Congress evssy
deviation from the letter. or spirit OF
the appropriations acts. Therefore
Congress took the view that 1t was
absolutely essential to the inde-
pendence Of this officer that he be
free from any form Of executive con.
troll.
Reason for the Veto.
The President vetoed the bill be-
cause Congress undertook to provide
for the removal of the controller gem
eral only by concurrent resolution Of
Congress. The President contended
that since he was given the power to
appoint he had also the incidental
power to remove. Here IL where the
authoritative opinion Of Mr.. Collins
was called for. In what Representa-
tive Good calls splendid legal docu-
politically in the question" Mr.. Collins
points out that the Constitution itself
is silent on the question Of removal
and the Supreme Court has never been
called upon to decide all phases OF
the question. In the opinion Of .
number of students Of the Constitution
the President was wrong n his con-
tention that he had the Incidental
power to remove an officer whom he
did not have the power to appoint.
unless the power was vested in him
by Congress. In other words, that
the incidental power Of removal ape
plies only to those cases where the
Constitution itself vests the ap.
pointive power in the President.
7 The Supreme Court has decided that
Congress can designate the method of
removal Of inferior officers Of the
United States. and the assumption
was that the controller general was
an inferior officer under the terms
Of the Constitution.
Early Action Planned.
The republican leaders are planning
early action so that II the budget bill
is passed in January It win allow
Harding time to be organising his
budget bureau and getting together
the experts required. 20 that they can
be on the job By the beginning ee the

BETTER THAN CALOMEL,
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets-tne sub
stitute for calomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little olive
colored tablets are the result of DR.,
Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomeL
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't iniure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomei
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calomcl. Let DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets take its place.
Headaches, "dullness'' and that laz
ieeling come from constipation and
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "logy" anc

and ''perk up" the spirits. locand 25c
