vincing alibis are in order" A
similar protest has been made in
Vermont and these movements
are taken as favorable signs for
the restoration of party response
bility. The legislators troubled
over these changes of sentiment
are now looking around for the
so-called soldier vote" in their
communities to justify their
stand on the bonus.
In an effort to determine the
sudden shift against Congress-
men. the writer visited several
representative communities in
Kansas. Missouri, Oklahoma and
Illinois last week. Interviews
with the recognized spokesman
of both parties and weighed with
the opinion of the IMAM on the
street, brought the conclusion
that the resentment against the
Bonus bill was founded on the
belief that it was the greatest
deterrent to reduction in taxes
Some used the argument that il
was a reflection upon the
patriotism of the American SOL
der" that it was AN attempt to
to capture the class vote of the
support of former service men,"
The most sensible argument ad-
vanced covered the claim that
many states had made provision
for a bonus which was a direct
tax on the citizens of that par
ticular state and a national bonus
could only be considered an I'M
fair imposition in the form of a
double-tax. There were Repub-
licans and Democrats in these
states who were absolutely sim

Washington, June congress
must reach a decision within the
next three days as to a recess
and a summer session or an ad-
journment. Considerable appre-
hension has developed of late as
to the outcome of the open con-
flict between the legislative body
and the chief executive. As a
consequence the enthusiasm to
adjourn without regard to a
balance of the books has been
dulled and Legislators are making
last-minute effort to set their
house in order before the cleo
tions-the final Judgment day
with the people of voting age.
The reaction from the home
districts of members of Congress
has not been to their liking and
many are gravely concerned over
their political future. It is APP
parent that those who put their
individual views above their
party in voting on legislative
measures must now render per-
sonal accounting to the home
folks.
In politics the spirit of change
is always evident. However. a
surprise package was handed to
Congressman from the Middle
West in particular during the
week with prominent Republican
leaders putting candidates in the
field against the present incum-
bents as a direct outcome of their
votes to override the veto of the
President on subsidy measures.
These legislators heretofore,
strongly entrenched as leaders in
their communities, are now on
the defensive and as state offc-

The government of Sweden
