DEADLOCK IS DELAYING LEGlS LATION-TAX LAWS MUST BE
 REVISED, SAYS MELLON

WASHINGTON, Jan 4.-The time spent in organizing congress and the .e,ection of chairman to the inter- state commerce commission, may ap- pear of small consequence to the lay mind. but the effect on the nation may be far-reaching, as legislation may be delayed that is vitally necessary.
 The growth of membership in the nations legislation has placed upon the committees the principal burden of framing legislation. Until com mittee is ready to report a bill it lies dormant on the list of measures or which thousands are proposed but few are enacted. There is always the pos sibilitv that a deadlock in a commit tee can be overcome by motion on ! the part of the house or senate, but for the most part the power of a com mittee is the power of life and death over legislation.
 Owing to reduced majorities of the rpnublicans and the increase in the number of democrats, the ratio on the house committees is twelve republi- cans to nine democrats. On the ways and means committee, which is all powerful there will be fifteen repub- licans and eleven democrats The possibilities of blocking legislation by 0f i cans and a solid vote of democrats , are even greater in the committees than in the house proper.
 In view of the fact that the organi- zation process in both the senate and the house has been subject to delay congress will not get started on a working program as early as in other sessions, there is, however, no such pressure for haste this time as the present session does not expire on March 4th but goes on beyond that date indefinitely, and may run, if the members desire, into the following session in December, 1924, without interruption.
 Most members, however, wish to take an active part in the primary campaigns and the presidential con- test, using the opportunity to straight en themselves with their constituents whether they are candidates this time or not, so the tendency of congress will be to bring about an adjournment not later than August, if possible.
 In view of the fact that congress is Sorn in groups and blocs, the deadlock on legislation is likely to be of such character as to force an adjournment at an early date, although all politi- clans are in agreement that congress will not dare adjourn without taking the paramount issue.
 Whatever doubts members of con gress may have had about the impor- tance with which the country views the necessity of tax reduction, have been swept aside by the letters and 5telegrams which keep pouring in daily to the members. Only such torrent ever makes an impression, and the continued pressure of the country alone will change the course of con- gress from one of hesitation to per formance

side by a sharp cake of ice that was
hurled against it at several miles an
hour and was temporarily put out of
commission, though it now has been
repaired.
