WILL GROUND
HOG SEE HIS
SHADOW TODAY?

Weather conditions for the next
six weeks are absolutely dependent
upon whether the ground hog will see
his shodow today or not. That is, If
you believe in signs.
Tradition declares that on February
2 the ground hog comes out OF his
hole, and if the sun is shining, and
if he is thus enabled to see his shadow
he goes right back again, convinced
that there will be six weeks more of
winter.
On the other hand if the proverbial
hog fails to see his shadow it is GER
tain of the approach Of spring and
he stays out to enjoy it,
All Of which after all is a lot OF
bunk, in our opinion. But anyway
il will be interesting to see if he sees
his shodow or not.

Some of his coll leagues have argued, however, that lt would take longer to change the rules than IL would to put the tax and tariff bills through under wear Ing down process brought to bear upon the opposition.
 Move Tn Abeyanee
 The move, therefore, for the time being Is In abeyaLs-.
 Senator James k. Watson of h. diana. one of the wheel horses of the finance committee. and a tower ot i strength among his colleagues on the floor of the Senate. is hopsful that after Congress resumes It's sessions in October, 1t will be possible to get 55 or o6 republican senators to sign an agreement to ramain constantly iu N ashington and In that way crush down any fllibustering move through the sheer weight of overwhelming forces. These 56 senators would be In 8 position at all times to oppose early adjournments sought by the filibusterers and to be ever ready to force 8 vote when the opposition showed signs of weariness. Only by such a determined move will 1t be possible to pass the new tax bill be- fore the expiration of the extra ses- sion. There virtually Is no hope that the tariff bill can be brought to a vote until late in the regular session.
 Matters of Taxation On matters of taxation the repub- lican leaders hope to have virtually the solid backing of the members of their party. The uprising of several insurrectos would not be at sll sur prising, however. but that Is situa- tion 10 be dealt with in the future On the tariff 1t Is known that T revolutionary movement Is on foot and this makes 1t all the more diff cult to predict a time that the perma- nent tariff measure can be brought to vote. The fact that the emer- sency tariff bill has been extended to run until next January gives all inkling as to the delay the leaders expect to encounter In putting tho permanent bill through.
 The democrats have determined to make the ,congression issues of next year the tax and tariff bills brought forth by the republicans. The cleo tions of next year are congressional and therefore the record of Congress will be the especial target The democrats will attempt to emphasize the reported difference between Fresiuent Harding and the Congress. and all to the detriment of the legis- lative branch.
 Many Obstacies
 With this determination in mind, 1t Is easy to see the obstacles they may place in the way of the enact ment of the tax and tariff bills from political point of view. as well as the genuine opposition which may be engendered by diverse economic ideas.
 The tax bill. coming closer to the people than the tariff, will be the especial object of attack. Democrat ic senators are prepared to talk for months if necessary, to get their views before the country.
 Altogether the legislative outlook In the upper branch of Congress is not as cheering as some of the more stalwart republicans and friends of the administration would have it.

 TWO BOYS ARRESTED FOR STEALING HORSE

 Some time last night these two boys are alleged to have gone to the barn of Mr. Pendergrass and stole a roan mare and a bridle and pair C beaded lines from a farmer near ty named Bowler. The matter was ,e- ported early this morning, and she horse was trailed to Attalla, where il was recovered. together with another animal that had been stolen. and the sheriff then returned to Gadsden snd went to the homes of the boys anc arrested them, and they are now ir tail

 if some intervening and troublesome minor legislation can be got out or the road.
 The congressional sessions are to be resumed toward the end of Sep tember, but it is extremely doubtlu- if the wheels will be running smooth ly until October 1. That gives ex- actly two months in which the Senate is expected to pass the tax and tariff measures before the regular session of Congress comes humming along the first Monday in December.
 It has been too much In the past to expect the Senate to pass the tariff bill along in a space of two months. To ask that staid and slow moving body to jazz itself up two months, is regarded by old time Washington observers as entirely out of the question.
 Political Hot Shot
 The task has been made more diff cult by the fact that the democrats ouiescent in the earlier days Of the session, have served notice that they are going to rake both measures fore and aft with all the political hot shot they can pour in that direction. It mas been possible to throttle the dem- ocratic opposition in the House, where a majority can direct that a vote be taken at anytime but it Is virtually impossible to shut off the flow of political oratory which will mark 8 filibustering move In the Senate.
 Nevertheless, the republican lead CTS are going about their task de- terminedly and if it Is possible to jam the bills through the upper branch before December they are go- ing to do 1t.
 Senator Frank B. Kellogg of Min nesota has been considering starting a move at this time for a change in the Senate rules which would permit cloture and the bringing of an inn
