WASHINGTON LETTER
CONTINUED from Pare u


preme Court as Mr.. Taft's retire
ment has been predicted on &C
count of i'll health. Two other va
cancies are anticipated in the Su-
preme Court as Associate Justi-
ces Holmes and McKenna are
long passed the retirement age.
It is said that Secretary of the
Navy Wilbur would be candidate
for one of these positions as he
served for many years as Chief
Justice of the California Supreme
Court. Arthur Prentice Rugg,
present Chief Justice of Massa-
chusetts. and an Amherst gradu-
ate. is mentioned for Mr.. Justice
Holmes place.
Strangely enough. there are no
particular divergent views as to
the legislative program of the
December session. 1t is general
ly conceded that there will be no
major legislation enacted at the
short session which begins De-
cember /. and ends March a.
1925. The time of Congress will
be taken up almost entirely with
appropriation bills for the vari-
Gus government departments.
The House Committee on appro-
priations has already started its
hearings on fiscal measures for
the Treasury and Post Office De-
partments.
This writer interviewed two Of
the leading legislative agents
here today. Nathan B. Williams.
representing the manufacturing
interests, expressed the opinion
that efforts to call a special ses-
sion of the new Congress would
fail, and that the outgoing Con-
gress would make no serious at
tempts to enact legislation of
widespread interest. He said
that the election of Coolidge by
such a large popular vote made
clear the complete reversion Of
the idea which has grown on the
country for more than forty
years that Washington may pre-
scribe something in legislative
"cure-alls". II was his conten-
rion that the belief in this idea
has been thoroughly dissipated
and recognition given to the fact
that the Government at Washing
ton cannot. no matter which par
ty is in control make six years of
corn grow where only one grew
before.
Charles B. Holman. one of the
leading representatives for the
farm interests, does not antici-
pate any congressional action
which would affect sound agri-
cultural practices. He believes
that the farm organizations will
be very active this winter. When
Congress opens at least four Sc
parate factions of farmers will be
laboring for its attention. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Holman, another
problem facing Congress is the
disposal of Muscle Shoals. The
situation has been complicated
by the formal withdrawal of
Henry Ford's offer. 1t has not
removed the subject from poll
tics. however. Like Mr.. Will
liams. the Spokesman for the far
mers believes that fiscal legisla-
ton will be the main subjects be-
fore the last session.
