10 KEE PPARTY PLEDGES
DURING EXTRA SESSION
Budget System, Reorganization Of De.
partments and Protective
Tariff VIII BE Enacted.

Washington, - Fulfillment Of cam
paign pledge by the enactment Of leg
islation important enough to make 1t
the most important congress in Amer
lean history is the plan Of the new Re-
publican 9th Congress about to be
called into extra session.
While the Senate is wrestling with
the best way, to establish peace at
home and abroad, the House has an
outstanding and perplexing problem
in the establishment of sound fiscal
policy regarding taxation and tariff.
While these pre-eminent problems
are beng workekd out, other matters
of vital interest will be under consid-
Grafton simultaneously, and they in
clude:
The federal budget system, the
House and Senate reorganization to
facilitate congressional consideration
of the budget and auditing Of expend-
| itures.
Associated with and growing out Of
the budget legislation will come reor-
ganization of the federal departments
and other executive establishments.
Complementary to the reorganiza-
ton is Redistribution Of work and
salaries for the government employees
Soldier legislation, particularly the
efficient coordination of activities for
the ex-service men, will receive early
attention.
immigration and naturalization
laws to meet -the-war conditions
are also imperative.
Progressive measures, such as are
proposed nthe women's program, will
be urged for early passage by some OF
the Republican leaders, who feel that
their party is pledged to something OF
this sort,
Repeal of the burdensome taxes
revamping of the entire series of rev
enue laws and the enactment OF
new, scientific, up-tod-date tariff law
is the big and vexing task before the
House. 1t has been twelve years since
the House enacted real tariff law
Science and industry have developed
so much in the meantime, and worlt
conditions have been in such upheaval
that many commodities in the las
tariff law are no longer manufactured
and new materials have taken thei
plice which are not mentioned in an!
existing tariff law.
The most driving task of the way
and means committee is to revise thu
taxation system. The present schedule
is entirely acceptable as a war system
but totally unacceptable in time o
, peace.

TRANSPORTATION IS
VALLEY PROBLEM
Problem In All Its Phases VIII BE
Feature Of the Open. convention
Conferences.

1t goes without saying that much
has already been accomplished by the
people of the Valley with regard to Sc
curing adequate transportation.
In two short years these people OF
the Valley, through joint action and
mass thinking have secured large
barge lines OF the Mississippi and
Warrior rivers, which is no wmoving
freight between st. Louis and New Or
leans, and between Birmingham and
Mobile and New Orleans at an actual
saving of twenty per cent. in freight
charges from and to railroad points
distant from the river as well as from
river towns.
This means that the lowest cost
route for Mississippi Valley commerce
is now north and south and that COM
mcrce nav seeks that route. The east
and west railroads are getting ready
to oppose both the continued operation
of these barge lines, and their devel-
opment and extension to the navigable
tributaries
The New Orleans convention will
take steps to protect the Valleys in
terests, and to obtain at the earliest
practicable time the completion of the
terminals required; the completion
navigable waterways projects on the
Ohio River to Pttsburg on the upper
Mississippi River to Minicapolis; on
the Missouri River to Kansas City, and
on other important tributaries; and
the extension of the barge line service
on these waterways.
Activities tending to secure rail
road export freight rate adjustment
which permits shippers in the Central
Western states to use the uncongested
Southern ports, will also be feature
of the transportation conference. The
The rates to Southern ports are now
on parity with the rates to the North
Atlantic ports. Until two years ago
the Central Western shippers were
forced, by rate adjustments, to use
only the North Atlantic ports, no mat
ter how great the congestion, or how
high the cost of handling.
So long as here was an excess of
| freight maving fro mthe Valley for
export, the East and West railroads
and the Mort Atlantic ports were but
mildly concerned over the victory the
Valley shippers had won after years
If effort
But today, when freight movement
5 light, the advantage the Valley ship
ners now enjoy in being able to route
their export shipments in the most di-
rect way, and to the port and ship line
OF their own choice, gives rise to hos
tility and opposition on the part of
the Flst and West railroads, and of
the North Atlantic ports. In the face
of this growing opposition, Valley in
terest must be prepared to defend
their position and what they have
gained, in the most effective way.
This matter will be discussed in all
its phases at the New Orleans conven-
ton and plans will be laid for the in
evitable fright.
