The Challis messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1912-current, 1923-02-07

not administration men say the poll
Ing proved that the country dOca
not want what the President wants
The two schools of thought are con-
tending one with The other these days
on the floor Of the senate.
There are two or three new sena'
tors who have been elected. or ap-
pointed. to fill the unexpired terms OF
senators who resigned before their
terms of office had expired. Usually
new senators remain quiet for while,
content to listen to their elders OF
the service. but such is not the case
today. The new senators are very
much In evidence in speech md In
action. q fact which Indicates that
when other new senators come here
next spring there will be no silence
anywhere In their ranks.
Two Farm Credit Programs.
There hive been two agricultural
credit legislative programs. one OF
which the conservatives and the semi
conservatives declare to be altogether
too radical for consideration. and an
other which the progressives and the
radicals or the near-radicals declare
altogether too conservative, In fact re-
dictionary.
II is fnct that some If the sena-
tors who It was supposed would stand
In favor Of the more liberal credit hill
have made up their minds that 1t soes
u little too far even for them. So
at this writing II looks MS II what Is
called the more conservative nsrlcul-
tural credit legislation eventually may
be the one upon which the SENATE
must vote.
Senator Brookhart Of Iowa. who
cnme into the senate only a few weeks
ago, has made his first long speech.
1t has been declared statesmanlike
Ltterance and an utterance that Is
but statesmanlike. the two
Judgments passed on II coming. OF
course, from representatives Of the
two schools Of thought which are
lodged in the United States senate to-
day.
Williams Forestails Brookhart.
There was something Of furry In
the upper house when the time came |
for Senator Brookhart's speech. and
il was found he was not at his seat
A hurry-up call went for him. and
he came In, but in the meantime
senator. conservative OF
the conservatives. John Sharp Will
Jams of Mississippi. had managed to
say some things which he intended to
d. advance offsets of what the Iowa
senator was to say.
There was q big gallery present
when the Iowa senator said his say to
he satisfaction of all those members
II the senate, Democrats and kepub-
leans, who hold his advanced views
N agricultural credit legislation. and
lold with him that ship subsidy is not
III that 1t should be.
John Sharp Williams' talk was en-
irely satisfactory to those present
whose beliefs run rs his belief runs.
nd II Is known that there were a
GOD many Republicans who listened
nth considerable glee to what the
had to say. As mat
er OF fact, the senate OF TO-DAY Is q
enate of factions rather than parties.
All of this makes for the general
,terest of the auditors and specta-
,rs in the galleries. What the coun-
y thinks about It is another mat
r. The senate Is never 10 humanity
lteresting rs when II II split into fac
ons, and split into factions It GER
inly Is today. The difficulty Is. of
,urse, from the point Of view Of the
'untry. that with one faction seek
3 to obstruct one piece Of legisla- 8
IN and another faction seeking TO r
struct another piece, progress neces- 4
rily is slow. and In fact It seems =,
mes there could be no progress at
