SENATE L|NESU Up
RUSH LEGISLATION
German Treaty First on List
for Passage Before
Session Dies.

Faced by a jam of legislation in
the single month remaining OF the
present Congress, the Republican
steering committee of the Senate has
selected a priority list of nine meas
ures 10 be pressed for action In that
body between now and March 4 ad-
journment.
Heading the list as announced by
the committee is the German COM
mercial treaty, which the foreign re-
lations committee was called to take
up today with view to prompt
report to the Senate. Second in line
is the Mclean bill authorizing the
Treasury to reduce the interest rate
on Government loans to railroads
subject to approval by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Farm Relief Formative.
Omission from the list of the farm
relief measures recommended by the
Presidents agricultural commission
was explained by leaders as due to
the fact that they are still in a
formative stage. The agriculture
| committees of both the Senate and
House were meeting today for hear
ings on the recommendations.
Conspicuous among other omis-
sions from the list were proposals
| for American adherence to the WorlC
Court and the Cramton bill to es-
tablish a separate prohibition en-
forcement bureau.
Other measures on the steering G
committees program included the
civil service retirement bill. the Nc
| Fadden banking bill, and the govern
| mental department reorganization
plan. In addition to the committed
program there now is pending in the
Senate the s75,000,000 good roads bill
and the Isle of Pines treaty. There
| appears little chance of action on the
treaty at this session.

President Coolidge looks with

The suggestions that he take ad-
vantage of the increased use of

that the newspapers are efficient in

GAS PRICE HERE UP
SCENTS IN z WEEKS
Now % Cents a Gallon, With
Tax IncIuded-Drop Ex-
! pected in Spring..

Recent increases in the price OF
gasoline in the East were. viewed to-
day by Government agencies as the
upward turn of the customary Mid
winter cycle in gasoline prices. The
price of gasoline has risen a total
of five cents a gallon in the last two
weeks in Washington and in territory
served by the Standard Oil Company
OF New Jersey in the East, jumping
the price to the consumer from IS
cents a gallon, the price of two weeks
ago, to % cents today Gasoline prices
have not yet approached the peak
, reached about three years ago, when
gasoline sold for a time at 27 cents
a gallon, without the 2-cent tax per
gallon that is now levied III Washing
ton.
Although the Washington office of
the Standard Oil Company could not
supply any information on the reason
for the price increase, according to
II. r. Chenoweth, assistant manager,
as the prices are made at the home
Offices of the company in New Jersey,
officials of the Bureau of Mines re-
garded the present rise in price as
seasonal, and predicted a probable
drop this Spring.

must be added the 2-cent tax and the
retail dealers customary margin of .
cents. making the price to the con-
sumner % cents instead of the Is cents
he was paying only a few days go.
Crude oil production in the United
States has recently shown Il decided
drop, according to the Bureau of
Mines. This reflected probably in the
increasing price of gasoline.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover said
that crude oil production had been
sIumping recently, which was regard
ed as the probable factor bringing
about the rise in price. Mr. Hoover
added that there is no Federal ma
chinery to control a rise in price of
gasoline.
Local gasoline dealers said today
they usually notice a small falling off
IN gasoline sales when the price rises
as 1t has here in the past fortnight.
The decreased sales will naturally
have reflection in the decreased
revenue accruing to the District of
Columbia from the 2-cent tax
