capitol steps huge pile Of demands
for the new legislature, although con-
gressional leaders have stated that
the next session will be so short
there will be little time for any legis-
lation excepting the regular appro-
priation bills.
Undismayed representatives OF
scores of organizations are arriving
here daily to tell congress what to
do. Veteran congressman, such as
Champ Clark, believe congress will
continue in session for more than a
year after president-elect Harding
takes office.
President Wilson probably will
make several recommendations in
Guiding immediate revision of taxes.
Representatives of farmers and con-
gressmen from farming districts are
planning an extensive program of
agricultural readjustment to submit
in the hope that some temporary
legislation will be enacted to relieve
the situation resulting from the de-
cline in prices.
Service men have agreed to make
a. big drive for the passage of the
four-fold plan of relief as recon-
mended by the American Legion.
