HOW A CoNGREssMAN WORKS

When Congress putters along and fails to accomplish much, it isn't be- cause the individual members do not work, writes Fred Kelly, in The Ma tons Business. The typical con- gressman is industrious. Of several hundred members vf both houses of Congress that I have known in the last 12 years l can recall less than a score of lazy ones.
 The trouble with Congress isn't lack of toll of perspiration, Most members are on the job from g or 10 o'clock in the morning and often un- til late. at night. If much of this work is wasted, the fult lies not so much with Congress as with the vot- CTS who compel the members to do odd bits Nof four-flushing and to waste valuable public time. Two thirds of a congressman's day Is de- voted to chores intended to help his chances for reelection. He knows that a package of government radish seeds mailed to the right place may bring him more votss than a week of hard study on an important bill. If he could only do a personal favor, no matter how trivial, for each indi- : vidual in his district, it is doubtful if he could ever be defeated.
 The more obliging congressman is the less useful he Is to the coun- try at large, because his time Is largely taken up by doing foolish errands for the folks at home. One member showed me . letter from a man who wanted the congressman to be at the 7:20 train to meet his Aunt Annie and direct her to good board ing place. Every congressman gets requests to obtain passports or infor- nation about patonts-though such personal service should not be | part of the duties of q man elected to tht greatest law-making body in thu world.

Farm Bloc Will
Oppose Harding
on Reserve Board
Twenty-Five Senators Pledged
to Oppose Confirmation
of Coyernor-Hefun
Leads Fight.

Washington. June li,-(Speeial
Telegram.)-The farm bloc In the
senate. embracing Is members. have
agreed, at the solicitation Of Senator
Heilin OF Alabama to fight vigor-
ously the confirmation Of w. p. g.
Harding to succeed himself as head
OF the federal reserve board. Presi-
dent Harding has indicated his in-
clination to nominate Governor
Harding to succeed himself, when
his term expires August ].
As soon as that fact became known
the opposition to Governor Harding
became very active and the farm
bloc is on record to fight the nomina-
ton to the limit. Whether the bloc
can corral enough votes to block
the confirmation is a matter Of spec.
ulation. At any rate they can hold
up action for some time and delay
important legislation.
Senator Helm took occasion 10
score Governor Harding. charging
Ne is the "subservicnt tool Of Wall
street" He declared a bitter fight
will be staged in the senate when
Hsrding's nomination comes to that
body.
Governor Harding is unfit for the
post" Senator Heflin shouted. "Hc
came from my own state and | know
my man we'll. l will never assent
TO the submitting the greatest credit
system in the world to the control OF
Governor Harding. II President
Harding noininatcs him for another
term, will have some startling
revelations to make, not in executive
session, but on the floor of the sen.
ate. ! believe the president has
good reasons for not appointing him,
but ii he does, / will state these
reasons in the senate"
II is understood that one of Sena-
tor Heflin's reasons for opposing
Governor Harding on the board, is
because Harding refused to support
him for senator in Alabama. Cover
nor Harding is a democrat and so is
Senator Heflin,
