TIE CONGRESSIONAL JAN

THE SiXty-Eighth Congress- writes Washing
ton correspondent, will expire leaving most of lis
work to its legislative heir" Wherein il will simply
do what most congresses have done.
There is little hope Of passing any but the impera-
tive appropriation bills and that IS not certain
Nothing ls expected be done about Muscle Shoals,
the pay of postal employees, the World Court, the
branch banking bill for the relief Of national banks,
the Turkish treaty agricultural relief measures,
organization Of executive departments, improvement
the drv enforcement machinery and many other mat
tiers in which the public is greatly interested.
1t Is the old story. And the public cannot believe
that all the disorder and procrastnatiOn newt
able Much of The trouble comes from quarres which
might be compromised, in the interest Of the public
welfare Much Of il comes from daWdlng debate. The
usual procedure is to talk until session is nearly gone
and then Jam through the imperative bills in hurry
without due consideration Of amendments and let the
rest die. The obvious remedy is more work and less
talk earlier in the session.
The country viii hope for more from the next
Congress in the way Of leadership and expedition It
always hopes for more from the next Congress.

If the new Chevrolet utility coupe

German Says Dry Law Fails
President of Reichstag Tells Of His Elk.
perience While in America.

Paul Loebe, President of the Reich
stag, who recently returned from the
United States, in an interview to day
recommended prohibition for Germany,
but not on the American plan, which,
he said, has not succeeded and never
will.
America has taken the wrong way to
achieve something which every country
desires-the elimination of harmful
drinking" he said. Germany needs
this kind of prohibition just as America
does, but we eau never adopt the Am9ri-
can method of arriving at that point.
The only obi 2ct Of prohibition should be
to shield conf smed ~drunkards, and by
making the law as strong as ia America
the chief object is overlooked and the de-
sired result is noC obtained.
"When | first arrived in America to
all appearances prohibition was effective.
In my 1000 room hotel there was no
thing but water to drink, but later at q
big banquet | sat beside an American
official who pulled a flask from his hip
pocket and, holding "a glass under the
table, filled it and passed the flask to his
neighbor. He was not a chronic drink
err, but he was obliged to resort to this
ludicrOus method"
Loebe declared that the American pro-
hibition system fails to prevent the mis-
use Of alcohol, and, in fact, encourages
it. With the varieties Of racial strains
in America, he said, the problem is
greater than in European countries of a
single race, but while the poor may be
deprived Of alcohol because of its exces-
sive price, the problem is by no means
solved satisfactorily. The prevention of
the misuse of strong drink was desirabty
in Germany, he added, but could not be
accomplished without radical and imprac-
ticable measures Ibid.

TAkAND INCOME
FORMER GAINING
!. 'TREBLED PER CAPITA

New York. Nov. 22.-Twelve and q
half cnts out of every dollar of the
combined income of the American peo-
pie during the past year went into
taxes, according to study in taxa
ton made by the National Industrial
Conference Board 247 Park Avenue,
New York. The total burden of federal.
state and local taxes has nearly doubled
in proportion to notional income since
1913, rising from $50 in 1918 to
1850 in 1924, also showing an in
when the total tax burden amounted
to 11.sT of the national income.
While the increase of taxation in
proportion to national income in 1924
Yin part was due to increased state and
local tax ievies, it was in part, how
ever, also due to a decrease in ma
tional income during that year, the
Board points out. The national in
come in 1924 is estimated by the Con-
ference Board at s63,000,0e0 as against
S65,000,000 in 1923, representing de-
crease of $50 for the year. Expressed
in dollars of current purchasing power,
the national income in 1924 was al
most double that Of 1913; Debated to
take into account the decline in pur-
chasing power of the dollar since 1919,
OF 1913 dollars" was $39.000,000, as
against $50. 100000 in 1918.
While the average gain in popula-
ton, according to census figures has
been about 1870 annually, federal, !
state and local taxes together have in
creased at so fast a pace that, ac-
cording to the Conference Boards
computation, the total per capita tax
burden has risen from $22.73 in 1918
to $70.97 in 1924, or more than trebled.
The same is true of the average tax
burden of each gainfully occupied
person in the United States, which has
increased $20S.Seo from 1913 to 1924.
from $59.25 to $1S2.94. Measuring the
tax burden per family, the social unit,
the Board finds that it has nearly
trebled, having risen{ from $102.1z in
1918 to s3O4.23 in 1924.
The Conference Board however.
specifically emphasiz the increase OF
taxation in proportion to national In
come as the truest and most signif1-
cant test of the burdensomerless of
taxes, inasmuch as national income
is the measure of a nations capacity
to spend.

The Methodist Church, rededicated
on Sunday morning. is with no ex-
ception the oldest place of worship
still in use in Winthrop. The Bap-
fist Church at East Winthrop was
dedicated Nov. 10, 1928, two years
before the Methodist church was
completed and dedicated. Although
the Congregational Society here is
much older, it's present church was
built as a vestry in 1860. and re-
modelled into a church in 1904, so
that the Methodist church is the old
est house of worship in Winthrop
village. 1t is interesting to note that
the "Old South Church. SO called,
which was used for a place Of wor-
ship by the Congregational people
for many years, and has since been
into a tenement, was ded-
icated in August of the same year
that the Methodist church was dedi-
Gated in November. The finishing
and defeating Of two churches in
one small community in a single year
is surely worthy of note, and is an
event which would hardly be likely
to be duplicated in these later years.
The first Methodist sermon was
in Winthrop Oct. Fl, 1913,
by Jesse Lee. State Librarian Hen
nv E. Dunnack has stated that quot
ing Emerson who said that any in
stitution is the heightened shadow
of a great leader; world Methodism
Is John Wesley, American Method
ism. Francis Asbury and Maine
Methodism, Jesse Lee" Jesse Lee
was one of the great figures OF
Methodism, who missed being elect
ed Bishop by only four votes. was
chaplain of the House of Representa-
lives for three years and Chaplain OF
the Senate for one year. He mas
been described as "A man OF vigor-
ous mind, of rare popular eioquence
and tireIess energy, the founder OF
Methodism. in New England.
He was noted for his wit and ms
tender humanity and affectlonate pl-
ETY."
