and the Senator had an argument
over tax matters. The investigation
was the outcome Of the disagree
ment between the two richest men in
public life.
The time Of the Senate has been
taken up with prolonged debate on
the Muscle Shoals project. Several
legislative propositions have been
offered to dispose of the property in
Alabama but there are no signs of
agreement on any plan or any like
lihood of an early compromise.
Though President Coolidge has indi-
Gated that he would favor a quick
disposition Of the white elephant"
left over from the war, the various
groups of legislative agents working
on the matter continue an agitation
which will make settlement difficult.
Congress must talk about some
thing whether the subject is i'm
portant to the Nations welfare or
not. 1t seems reasonable to believe
at this time that only appropriations
bills will be enacted at the short ses-
sion beginning March 4. There IS
likelihood that serious attention will
be given to the MacFadden branch
banking bill as relatively little op-
position has developed on this prop
osition.
Representatives or organized la
Dor are working vigorously about
rebuke to President Coolidge for his
veto of the postal salary bill at The
last session. This subject more than
any other legislative measure is an
unending source of bother and con-
Germ to the Senate and House. The
fact that the President vetoed the
measure giving specific reasons for
his action, brings out delicate sit
uation for senators and congress-
men who were elected in November
on promises to support the Admin

ly appointed Agricultural Commits
sion. Chairman Haugen, of Iowa,
speaking for the House Agricultural
Committee, has made clear the fact
that no drastic agrarian measures
will be presented at this session. He
takes the position that it would be
folly to attempt haphazard measures
when a scientific body, such as the
Agricultural Commission, is now at
work trying to find a way out for
Federal aid to farmers. Haugen was
one of the authors Of the McNary-
Haugen bill which the President op-

drawn calling for heavy drains on

 At Tuesdays sale, $1, ,020,00 worth of school bonds, $200,O00 worth of public improvement bonds and $65O,- GOO worth of library bonds were put on the auction" block.
