Mr.. Jack took over the manage
ment Of this bank about a dozen
years ago and through his energy
and progressive spirit and with
the good help of Mr.. Pearson it
developed to be one Of the
strongest financial institutions Of
the county. taking an active part
in the life Of its home commune
ty and helping TO advance many
deserving project, but it ap-
pears that the help was extend
ed too generously and II had too
much money borrowed out which
was literally tied up. Whether

Washington, Jan. lett is
quite likely that an extra session
of Congress will be necessary.
Failure Of the party system to
function properly has brought
about legislative tangle Of such
proportions that an early solu-
ton is difficult. For political
effect, it is highly desirable that
attention Of the voters shall be
focused upon activities Of Con-
gress and the Administration as
judgments will be passed at the
polls this fall. II is claimed in
many quarters that the demora-
liked condition of the national
legislative assembly is due to the
neglect Of the average citizen
who protests loudly but seldom
takes the time to carry his mes
sage to the ballot box. Statisti-
cal studies from nonpartisan
sources show that many success
full candidates received only a
small percentage Of the register
ed vote. Leaders of major
parties are deeply concerned at
this indifference because of its
ultimate effect on party systems.
The decision Of the House COM
mittee on Ways and Means TO
give preference to tax revision
does not mean that the bonus Is
now a dead issue. II is believed
that the tax bill will be reported
to the House by February II and
the debate will be limited. Pro.
ponents of the measure antici'
pate strong opposition on the
the floor when efforts will be
made to amend the bill. The
Democrats have drafted their
views on tax revision. Many
features of the Mellon plan have
their approval but they insist
that surfaces shall be fixed at
80 1-3 per cent instead of 25 per
cent.
