CHARP admonition to the majority
~ leaders in the senate and house by
the President brought on an access of
activity in pushing vital legisl alton to-
ward enactment In a series of con-
ferences with those leaders he made
known his attitude, which was re-
flected in a statement by Senator Wat
son of Indiana:
"Now that Attorney General Daugh-
erty has seen fit to resign Mr.. Wat
son said. "a new situation presents
itself in the senate. 1t seems to me
that it is the duty of the Democrats
to join with the Republicans to bring
the senate back to its legislative func-
lions.
at has been regrettable, although
unavoidable, that four months of this
session-with the most constructive
legislative program before it of the
reconstruction period following the war
have been devoted almost entirely
to the endless discussion of personal
tiles involved in the oil leases and al
legged misdoings in public office.
"The senate must devote itself untir-
ingly if it hopes to conclude consid-
Grafton of the legislative program and
adjourn by June, which we ought to
do. The general prosperity of the
country would be aided by congress en-
acting its program without delay SO
business can adjust itself to- new con-
ditions called for in new laws"
The senate finance committee worked
dav and night on the tax reduction
bin on which the leaders of both par
ties profess to wish speedy action.
Early in the week the committee unani-
mously approved the house provision
for retroactive reduction Of % per
cent in taxes on 1923 incomes paid in
1924 and it is considered certain that
the senate will accept this. The tax
payer will pay one-half of the next
installment. due June 10, and three
fourths of each of the last two install
ments. If the tax has 'been paid In
fuu refund of one-fourth will be
made the taxpayers. OF course numer-
ous changes in the house bill were
made by the committee, mainly for the
nurnose of raising additional revenues.

NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
Harlan Fiske Stone Of New
York Is Selected to Be
Attorney General.
By EDWARD w. PIckARD

DRESIDENT COOLIDGE'S selection
for the new attorney general to
succeed Harry Daugherty may not
please the more progressive" of the
western Republicans, but it is likely
to meet the approval of the party gen
orally and probably of the country.
Harlan Fiske Stone of New York is
the man chosen, and in him Mr.. Cool
idge believes he has found what he
required for the place an authority
on law and an able executive. Mr..
Stone and the President are lifelong
friends and both are graduates from
Amherst. For fourteen years Mr..
Stone was dean of the Columbia uni
versity law school, and he is a director
of many corporations, including the
Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line rail
way. He is a big, forceful and able
man, and Mr.. Coolidge. relies on him
to give the Department Of Justice a
thorough housekeeping.
Politics, geography and factions
were disregarded in this choice of a
new chief law officer, but the Coolidge
campaign managers believe it will
prove to have been good politics. They
call attention to the Presidents sym
pathy with the ideas Of the western
progressives as evidenced in his offer
of the navy portfolio to Judge Kenyon,
and it is now asserted in Washington
that the Coolidge supporters would be
more than willing to have a western
progressive nominated for vice presi-
dent. The men most talked of for
that place are Judge Kenyon, Senator
Borah and Senator Capper. More
over, it is said Mr.. Coolidge wants
one of that group named for tenn
porary chairman of the Cleveland con-
vention to make the keynote speech.
Mr.. Stone visited the executive Office
Wednesday, and was introduced to the
administration leaders.
