Why he cast his vote against
voting s2O,OO0,00O for Russian
relief, after vainly and unsuccess-
fully trying to have an equal sum
appropriated to relieve the unem-
ployment condition in the United

Wells Goodykoontz in his revised
address published in the first Con-
gressional Record to issue after
the holiday recess. 1t makes most
dycellent reading. and reflects pub

the Russians? The Belglans, the
Armenians, the Austrlans, the
Polish, and now the Russians,
have all been helped at the ex-
ponse of the American taxpayer
and to the exclusion OF the needy
but deserving American Citizen"
Mr.. Goodykoontz gave a very
sharp hint as to what was back Of
It all, an opinion which is, by no
means, obsolete in Washington,
when ho said "Mr. Hoover's 'or-
ganization' wants to be kept
busy" Editorials from the Clarks-
burg Telegram and Spencer Times
Record are included in his address.
OF the latter, he said: "Thls
editorial was very likely inspired
by Congressman Harry G. Wood
yard, who. although confined to his
room on account Of illness and pair
ed against the bill, communicated
with his friends, urging them. to
oppose the measure"
Mr.. Goodykoontz figures that
this appropriation costs the tax
payers Of West Virginia, and every
state in the Union, more than
$500. 900, and is equivalent to 90
cents for each man, woman and
child in the United States.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. e.
Senator Davis Elkins of West vir-
GINA, Will not succeed Senator
! Posta. ]. McCumber as, chairman
! of the committee on pensions for
the sole and only reason tlat he
does not wish to. McCumber Is
to quit that cLn rlnanship to be-
come chairman Of the powerful
committee on fnaiN,, a position
which Senator PenroSe held to the
day OF his death. Senator Reed
Smoot held the first option on the
Craftsmanship of pensions, and Ell
kins the next option by reason OF
the seniority rule. Smoot prefers
TO hold the craftsmanship he now
has. head Of the committee on
public lands and surveys, and
Elkins who Is next IN rank to
Smoot on pensions doesn't want to
succeed McCumber as chairman.
At this writing, signs point to
Senator Holm o. Bursum of New
Mexico. becoming chairman Of the
committe? on pensions. He ranks
SIX in seniority, but tie three men
ahead OF him have chairmanships
which, 1t Is said, they do not desire
to give up to head pensions.
McCumbcr OF North Dakota, BY
/ becoming head of the committee
on finance. makes history. For
sixty years, the chairman OF the
Senate comm'tte on finance has
been an easterner. an orthodox
Drotectionist, and more identified
with manufacturing and banking
ihcn with any other branches OF
industry and business. In short,
he was typically representative OF
that section OF tho country which
pays tho largest proportion OF
taxes by very considerable per-
! contage. The late Senator Pen
rose Of Pennsylvania. hailei from
a great eastern state which fur.
nishes 10 per cent of the federal
income.
McCumbcr is Identified with the
so-called agricultural bloc. On
! tho principle OF protection, how.
ever, hd is credited by mis- col.
leagues with standing staunchly
for it. The country will not have
to wait very long for q conflrma.
ton or denial Of that, since the
tariff bill is the first big Job he
has inherited which first must be
disposed Of.
