1t would require many columns
to report the thousands of legis-
lative panaceas now awaiting at
tention of congressional commit
tees. Those attracting more than
a passing interest at this time in
clude several bills introduced in
both the House and Senate pro-
posing a reduction of surcharges
on baggage and Pullman fares.
Organizations of travelling men
and the travelling public general
ly are affected in these measures.
Both Republican and Democra-
tic members of the House and
Senate presented bills authoriz-
ing the Government to sell Mus
Gle Shoals. It is believed that the
Madden bill. sponsored by Repre-
sentative Madden of Illinois, who
is chairman of the House Appro-
priations committee, will have
the right of way, as it is known
to have the approval of the Ad-
ministration. Briefly, it provides
for the sale of the nitrate plant
after guarantees have been given
which will make it available for
national defense in time of emer-
gency. The President. in his mes
sage. suggested the sale of this
plant and it is the consensus of
opinion that Henry Ford will be
the successful bidder, as the Gov
eminent has Indicated its willing
ness to meet his conditions of
purchase.
With the Administration and
the so-called Farm Bloc" inter
ested in the marketing of farm
products, several measures in
to promote this work
were introduced. Representa-
tive Sinclair of North Dakota,

NEW CONGRESS TO BE
SPECTACULAR

Washington, Dec. 12.-Pre-
dictions that the new Congress
would be spectacular in its per-
formances were easily fulfilled
during the first week of the
present session. If the develop
ments of the week may be taken
as a criterion. the Sixty-eighth
Congress will be noteworthy only
in it's tumultuous controversies
and nonproductive in helpful le-
|gislation necessary for the public
welfare. 1t is manifestly impos-
possible for the Congress as now
constituted. to carry out even a
portion of the Presidents recon-
mendations for legislation. Ad-
ministration leaders have display
ed their inability to cope with the
situation as it is difficult to con-
troll the activities of Congress
with a small and doubtful work
ing majority. In addition, there
is always the contingency of the
so-called LaFollette group, nomi-
nally listed as members of the
majority, kicking over traces"
and bringing about a legislative
impasse similar to the deadlock
which marked the fight over the
Speakership last week.

Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1923-12-13

Nobody is deceived over the
armistice established between the
majority leaders and the LaFol-
lette group in the House over re-
vision of the rules. The factional
quarrels based upon the liberali-
zation of rules and better repre-
sentation on committees, may
crop out again before the expira-
ton of the truce. The controver-
sy in which II Republican men,
bers of the House delayed the or
ganization, has brought about a
demand throughout the country
for a defense of the party system.
G. o. p. leaders are worried over
the condition which has devel-
oped within their own ranks, as
it indicates that the party in
power will find it difficult to full
fill pledges, though they maintain
a working majority on paper.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1923-12-13

The leaders of both parties
have surface in committee activ-
tiles. Considering the fact that
the greater percentage of legisla-
ton is transacted in committees,
it is highly important for politi-
cal effect. at least, that the con-
sentative wing of the Republican
party keep control of committee
assignments, else it fall short of
party pledges.

What She Saw in the Looking glass
By Marion Jones

Lucille would have been a lovely
girl, real beauty, but alas! her
complexion was bad, her face was
covered with unsightly pimples,
and at dances the young men
passed her by for girls with smooth,
velvety skins though they were
not endowed by Nature with a
fairer form or lOvelier face, were
it not for the disfguring blotches.
She spoke Of her distress to the
old family physician, who gave her
simple cooling lotion, and said:
