forth details of the arrangements,
allowing this country's participation
with other nations in international
arbitration, etc. 1t is particularly
interesting at this time because of
the League of Nations issue termin-
ated at the last Presidential elections
Nobody expects that the Lodge pro-
posals will figure very prominently
in the Forthcoming contests.
Alarmed at Small Vote
All political parties are at work
on plans to bring about a record
vote at the next. election. The recent
elections showed the growing in
difference Of the people of their po-
wer at the ballot box. The claim is
advanced that the decay in influence
over legislators has been due to a
large extent to this attitude on the
part of voters who have been free
to criticize errors in commission and
omission, without taking the only
means of redress.
1t is indeed a problem of I'M
usual magnitude at present because
figures prepared from non-partisan
sources show approximately one
half of the voters fail to perform
their civic duty. 1t has been estima-
ted from reliable sources that for
every 100 votes cast for President
in 1920, there were 90 stay-at-homes
or absentees. These figures are as
founding to the lay mind and almost
beyond belief, but the returns from
election districts prove this condit-

managers will insist upon
energetic missionary tactics in all
congressional districts this year. The
effect of a personal canvass is shown
returns from Kentucky for 1920,
where there were only "a absentees
for each 100 votes registered at the
polls, and the result was that Cox
carried the state by 4,017, a very
margin. The statement is
made in Vermont that the percent
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1924-05-15

age of absentees was 113 for every
100 votes cast for President in 1920.
This is one reason why members of
Congress are anxious to get home
for the preliminary campaigns.
Labor Matters
The question of union labor and
its influence on legislation has been
mentioned in connection with the
Barley bill to abolish the Railroad
Labor Board. This bill was called
out of the Interstate Commerce COM
mittee of the House under the new
rules by a petition signed by $50
members. 1t will be debated Mon
day next and probably go to the
Senate. 1t is doubtful if the Senate
will have time for a discussion of
the measure.
The extreme methods used to dis
charge the committee has brought
complications for other measures
now pending. The Commerce COM
mittee had PIG bills awaiting action
of which II related to truth-in-fabric
legislation and misbranding. Org
a~nizations of farmers and manufac-
turers have been at odds over the
proposals affecting merchandise but
the problem will probably go over
another session. According to the
committee, Congress ear place the
blame for the neglect on the recent
ly liberalized rules which offset the
influence of committees.
The failure of the legislative body
to revise the immigration bill in con-
ference to meet the suggestions
of the executive branch raises an in
teresting problem. How will the
President exercise his power to OBJ
tain a bill which will relieve the Am
erican Government from an affront
to Japan? The present law ex-
pires June 80 and a settlement must
be reached before adjournment.
Some opposition has developed to
the proposal that the law be extend
ed until January when the new Con-
gress can thresh out another bill.

concert at the band stand on Main

that a precedent has been establish
ed which will discourage legislation
calling for a direct levy on the pub
lie funds or providing new and I'M
tried sources Of revenue to met the
increased expense. 1t is said that
Treasury experts have supplied the
President with information showing
that the pending Bonus bill will ex-
ceed ali estimates, and for that rea-
son may recommend a veto. The
Postal Salary bill, which will require
approximately $8O,00O,000 annually,
may be turned down at the White
House for the same reason. The
claim has made it clear that ne will
oppose legislation providing for in
creased salaries which did not carry
congressional authorization for rev
enue.
It is evident that the sponsors
for farm legislation questioned the
fate of the Tax bill at the hands of
Mr.. Coolidge. An effort to incorpo-
rate the principal features Of the
McNary-Haugen bill in the tax re
vision measure was strongly object
ed to by Senator McNary, who doubt
ed the propriety Of trying to tack it
on as a rider. Advocates Of the
measure say that a rider Of this char
acter would naturally embarrass the
President and force his veto.
Hope For Farm Bill
A poll of the Senate and House,
conducted by leaders of both parties,
brought to representatives
Of the farm organizations that the
McNary-Haugen bill, or some other
measure of agricultural relief, will
be passed before adjournment. 1t
is Of such vital Importance to the
farmers and to the government that
it is proposed to devote several days
to discussion of the measure. An
effort has been made during the last
few days to expedite the considera-
ton Of the McNary-Haugen bill in
the House. The days and minutes
are so valuable that the Senate adj
opted night sessions in order to dis
pose of more important measures.
Under pressure from the agricultur-
al districts, members in both houses
are urging their leaders to give SER
ious thought to general legislation
of interest to agricultural commun-
tiles.
Perhaps the most influential group
of men in Congress today in parti-
cular. constitute the rules commit
tees. They control the parliament
airy situation and find themselves
h~ard-pressed by their colleagues de-
manding decisions. The rules COM
mittee has the power to give prefer
ence to bills on the legislative cal
endar. And, as an earnest advocate
of a certain measure said to the writ
er. "The rules comittee is a hard
boiled lot and a rule giving a bill a
chance before adjournment is hard
to obtain" 1t is impossible at times
to suspend the rules and make a
bill special order of business. Re
cent legislative history shows few
incidents where the House turned its
back on the committee and then on
when an emergency required dras
tic action.
One of the most important bills
Introduced during the week deals
with foreign relations. The resolu-
tion presented by Senator Lodge,
Republican leader, calls for the es-
adjustment of a world court at The
Hague, to which the United States
would adhere. The resolution sets

Rafaeul Sabatini's famous love story has been closely followed with tile re- suit that the author's hand is re- vealed in every sequence, which tends to prove that the closer the company alhefes to the, original story, the better the resultant production" Captain Blood" may be safely recommended to those who enjoy good photoplays.
 The Temple theater will present all this week in connection with the pie ture Captain Blood" one of the most pretentious Overture-Prologues ever seen in the south, Captain Blood, Yo-Ho", conceived and staged by Fred Stark, conditioner of the Temple or chestra. It shows a pirate episode and features the Temple concert orchestra assisted by the original four male quar- tet who will appear in connection with the orchestra in several numbers among which will be the introduction, Pirates of PaD&ance," Sailing" by Godfrey Marks, Sweet and Low" by J. Barnby, Rocked In The Cradle of the Deep by Knight, and the finale, Nancy Lee" by Stephen Adams.
 The symphonic musical score which accompanies the picture was arranged and syncronized by Fred Stark, and is built up large of numbers character istic of the atmosphere of the Spanish main. The scenic effects are by James A. Park, with costumes furnished by local concerns. This overture-prologue should prove highly entertaining by ev- cry person who witnesses it, and due to the great length of the picture pro- duction this week, no attempt will be made to present the prologue at the afternoon performances, but it will be presented only at seven and nine o'clock each evening, and the management urges Birmingham theater patrons to ance throughout.
 Performances all this week will start at Il a. m., l, 3, 5, z, g p. m., with the exception of Monday when the theater opens at one o'clock.
