By MARK SULLIVAN.

Stated in the briefest way. an
enumeration of the high spots and
some light spots Of Washington and
Congress. on the opening day Of the
second week Of the session. would
look like this:
Increasing serenity In the belief
held by all the best informed that
Germany and the allies will agree
on reparations. and that this agree
ment will be the most important
step since the armistice in the -re-
turn to normally" of business coh-
ditions.
Increasing confidence that our re-
lations with Germany and the
allies will be worked out satisfac-
torily by Harding and Hughes. The
steps can only be seen from day to
day as they are taken, but eacn
step. as 1t appears. increases opti-
mism about the future ones. Hughes
radiates confidence himself and in
spires~it in others.
Faith In President.
Complete consent on the part Of
the Senate to Harding's request that
our foreign affairs be left to him
without embarrassment. The Knox
resolution for peace with Germany,
in the shape in which II will finally
pass, will be what Harding and
Hughes want as best fitting their
program.
Continued uncertainty among the
leaders about the permanent tariff
and tax program. The bulk Of opm-
ion says that we shall not have a
sales tax. Undoubtedly, at this mo-
ment most of the leaders, and a
decided majority of Congress, es-
pecially in the Lower House, arc
decidedly averse to the idea. But
a few of the wisest leaders, whose
beliefs are most fortified by infor-
nation, predict quite calmly that
sooner or later We shall come to the
sales tax. They say we shall come
to 1t because We must have the
money and cannot get it otherwise.
Ts Repeat Debate.
In the Senate, Borah is preparing
the way for another great consti-
tutional debate. The three most
distinguished debates that have oc-
'curred in the Senate in ten years
have been those on the league of
nations, on CONSUMPTION. and on
Panama tolls. The Panama tolls
debate is now to be repeated. These
Senate debates give denial to those
who claim the level of the Senate
has deteriorated. The Colombian de-
bate last week was minor, but no
one who listened to II without
prejudice could fail to pay tribute
to the scholarship and hard work
that went into 1t. There were sew
.eral speeches in the Colombian de-
bate which must have represented
weeks of Investigation and reflection
on the part of the Senators who de-
livered them. Considering the
amount Of routine work a Senator
must do, you feel like taking of
your hat to those who take sound

scholarship seriously. The coming
debate on Panama tolls will be- on
even a higher level. Senator Borah.
who will Introduce the subject, Is
one who takes the minimum of time
for recreation and devotes all his
energy to the work and study
which make a Senator adequate to
his station, regardless of how his
convictions lie.
Cabinet Works Hard.
The Cabinet Is working hard and
with unity. and making obvious
progress. Those who watch them
file in and out Of the Cabinet meet
ings have steadily increasing conn
dence in them.
The railroad situation disappoint-
ing. The administration regards
this. next to the revival of inter-
national relations, as the most I'm
portant step back to improved busi-
ness and economic conditions. The
time 1t looks as II there Is a
deadlock between those agencies
which control rates and those which
control wages.
Democrats Cheerful.
The Democrats are cheering up
a little. Chairman George White is
in town. Most of the national COM
mittee's pressing bills have been
paid. and they have hired two pub
licity men. Incidentally, a renewal
of the hght of last March on the
craftsmanship seems just in sight.
Wilson making humorously pun
gent remarks about Lansing's book
and Harding's literary style. but co-
operating seriously and helpfully
with Hughes in our foreign rela-
tions.
Harry Daugherty trying to get
4 100000 lawyer for Solicitor Gen.
eral and offering IL to one, man who
is the leader of the bar in an East
ern city, and to another who is
among the three best lawyers in
America.
Will Hays Introducing social well
fare work and personal good nature
into a post office force which has
been ruled by fear.

LOBBYING CHARGED
BY SENATORS OVER
SERVICE BILL
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

ditions of injustice and ineficiency
in the departments, Senator McCor-
mick, Of Illinois, arose to a point
of order, declaring the discussion
was not intended to settle the merits
Of the bill, but the question of its
reference to a committee, and his
objection was sustained
Senator Poindexter objected to
the double reference of the bills
to the Appropriations and Civil Ser
vice committees on the grounds that
the Senate could not direct one COM
mittee to report to another.
Conpromise Reached
The agreement. which was finally
offered BY Senator Sterling in the
form of O motion. instructed the
Civil Service Committee to make
its report to the Senate while the
bill goes to the Appropriations Com
mittee for its consideration on
questions Of appropriations only, and
the latter committee will report to
the Senate with recommendation
as to the salary ratings.
Two o'clock was the hour set
for Senator La Follette's address on
the Irish question. and when Sena-
chair recognized the Senator from
Wisconsin, who refused to yield the
floor for further debate on the re-
classification bills. He agreed to
yield for a vote on the motion Of
Senator Sterling. which was prompt
ly adopted without a record vote.
