Re MILLS OF THE GODS

An editorial in the Constitution gives
one plausible explanation for the delay
the indirection, the positive obstruc-
ton in the passage of good and neces-
sary laws by the recently adjourned
legislature. The blame is put in
part upon the unweildy size of the
House. With 81 members the Senate
was able to pass about six construct
i've measures, but these on reaching
the House with its more than eco
members were DELAYED, argued, and
tabled till all were killed. Only two
laws of state wide interest were pass
ed I'M the 50-day session and these only
touched the paramount tax problem,
and did not in any way solve it.

The "inside of the cup is not the

the national forest reserves. 1t is
thought that when conditions are ia

Attempt TO Decide on
United Program For
1924 Elections
MADOO is ACTIyE
Seek to ProlOng Present Session
Of Congress-Wiliiam Jennings
Bryan Actively Engaged m
Work OF Reorganization.

Washington, Jan. l7.-The
scattered elements Of the Demo
cratic party were being reunited
through secret conferences now
being held in Washington.
Definite congressional and popu-
lar policies are being decided upon
so that united program may be
carried out between now and the
1924 presidential elections.
First William Jennings Bryan
came to confer with the beard OF
directors of the party; Senators
Underwood Harrison, Robinson
and Simmons, who formulate the
cngressional policies Of th> minor
ity.
Now William G. McAdoo has
met these daily active forces and
attempted to sway them 20 q con-
ccrted action, bringing tpressions
OF sentiment from the Democrats
cf the far ana middle western
regions. He held conferences at
the capital in Senator Simmons
office referring TO his suggestions,
it was learned today.
As a result of these conferences
two points are being considered
l-Prolorgation of this congress
sional session so as 20 make an
extra session of the new and more
progressive congress possible.
2-Dropping the Harris bill
which would force appointment Of
three Democrats the American
Commission which is row negotia-
ting with British representa-
tives.
McAdoo believes. it is learned,
that if the Democrats allow con-
gresS to adjourn in March they
will lose their greatest publicfor-
um in which they can present
their policies to the people until
next December. If there is no
congressional session from March
to December the Democratic party
will loose Just that much time in
presentation of its principles.
