Agricultural Relief Among
Big Problems Still
Pending.
By CHARLES P. STEWART

@7 ASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Con-
lIWI gress is entering on the
IT, closing days of the present
session piled up with much more
business than any of the lawmakers
believe can be disposed Of before
noon on March 4.
1t is then that all current terms
in the lower house and those of
one-thfrd OF the Senators expire by
constitutional limitation.
, Appropriation bills are the most
urgent of pending legislation, for
the government must have money
to run on.
These bills already have been
whipped into pretty good shape and
can be passed without much diff
Guilty unless a. deliberate attempt is
made to delay some Of them, which
is not expected.
Agricultural relief is a different
matter. Hardly a start has been
made on this subject.
It is very complicated and there
are many and wide differences OF
opinion concerning it.
1t seems hardly possible that it can
be handled completely in the short
time which still remains at the ma
tional legislatures disposal.
The Muscle Shoals question is in
conference.
The postal employees pay and pos
tai rate problems are as far from
solution as ever. The civil service
pension puzzle also remains unan-
swered.
Several Treaties Pending
Good highways, railroad and mer-
camille marine bills await action.
The Senate has not yet dealt with
several treaties which it must APP
prove before they can become effec-
tive. These include the Isle of Pines
treaty, the Lausanne treaty with
Turkey and the proposed commercial
treaty with Germany.
And what shall the United States
do in the World Court matter? The
Senate must decide. Such leaders
as Senator Borah are urging 1t to dc
so promptly, but there will hardly
be time before March 4 for 1t to dc
so.
Several presidential appointments
| likewise require senatorial conf1rma
ton, including such important ones
as Attorney General Harlan f
Stones to the Federal supreme
bench and Charles Beecher Warren's
| to succeed Stone in the justice de
| parrment
Cabinet Selections Up
Other cabinet selections may come
up between now and March or they
| may not be made until after Presi
dent Coolidge starts on his second
| term.
In the past it has been the custom
for the new Senate to meet directly
after the old ones adjournment
March A.. to confirm the incoming
cabinet.
In the present instance the cabine+
will not be entirely new and tn,
holdover members simply will con
tinue in Office.
Further, it is possible that tn,
present Senate will act on the names
Of such members as Frank B. Kel
logg in the State Department, War
rem in the Justice Department ant
r. D. Carey, probably, in the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Unless Congress accomplishes 1
great deal more between now aat
March than seems likely, a specia
session Of both houses is generally
regarded as a strong probability b.
early fall, at the latest.

dazzled rustic eyes and tore the
husks from bucolic bankrolls.
Federal aid. likewise, simply daz-
zles the eyes with a few lightning
passes. It doesn't give anything
away. Whatever largess It dis
tributes to the various States 1t must
collect from the people in taxes.
Consequently, theoretically, the
States don't benefit any more with
Federal aid than without it.
But the lure it bangles Of giving
something for nothing has spurred
highway programs all over the coun-
try-which benefits everybody. 1t has
melted some States to unwrap their
bankrolls and construct roads that
otherwise would not have been
built. So it isn't altogether bad.
AS long as the plan is in effect the
State that refuses it's share isn't per-
forming noble gesture-it's simply
making faces at itself.

stations in business or thiclxly
populated residential districts as
public nuisances. He would prohibit
their erection in such localities with
out permission of city councils.
The bill exempts cities-such as
Indianapolis-ope under the
zoning plan.

cept their proprietors and the

somewhere. If in neither business
nor residential districts, where?
It is distressing, and annoying, FOR
a peaceful, drowsy residential section
to awake some morning and find a
garish, fiorid filing station right
under its nose. Rough, rowdy
gasoline is good servant, but not
a desirable neighbor. 1t emits some
thing besides an air Of culture and
refinement.
Quite naturally, therefore. there is
much opposition to their invasion
of every nook and Granny of com
munity. Restrictions regarding Their
location in residential neighborhoods
are quite proper.
However. society can't hug to its
bosom the automobile without adopt
ing the latter's stepchild the filling
station. How best to adopt that un
ruly offspring can be decided by
each individual community without
additional legislation.

EMBARGO LIFTED BY MEXICO ON
EXPECTATION OF BLACK EYE BEANS

The Mexican government has
lifted the embargo on expectation
of black eye beans.
Owing to the short crop Of beans
in Mexico, the Mexican govern
ment placed an embargo on the
expectation from Mexico of beans
of all kinds on July 22 Of this
year. Farmers on the west coast
were much concerned over this
decree as it included black eye
beans which are not consumed at
all in Mexico and are produced
exclusively for export trade.
The chambers of commerce
along the west coast, including
that of Nogales, Sonora, imme-
diately took the matter up with
Mexico City and succeeded in hav-
ing the restriction removed from
black eye beans. The success OF
their efforts was made known in
a telegram received Saturday by
the Mexican Custom House in Mo-
gales, Sonora, reading as follows:
"For the information of parties
inSerested, pleased TO inform you
that the president mas signed a de-
cree permitting the expectation OF
black eye beans upon payment OF
export duty of two cents Mex
per kilogram."
This decree will become effec-
tive as soon as published in the
"Diario Official" (official gov
ernment daily of Mexico City,
The imposition Of the duty was
unexpected but the general opin-
jon is that it is fair and equitable.

ASSESSED VALUATION
ARIZONA $642, 1913, ,O42

The total assessed valuation Of
Arizona is $642,973,O42 as SOM
pared to $649,879,3O8 last year,
according to preliminary figures
given out by the state tax hon.
mission, based on assessment alb
stracts sent in by the various
counties.
These figures represent the to-
tai taxable wealth of all classes of
property in the state, but are sub
ject to change by the commission
meeting as state board of equal
ization.
The equalization board met last
week in Phoenix and the revised
valuation fighres will not be made
public until today. Until then it
will be impossible to form an ac-
curate estimate Of the tax rate
for the coming year, it was stated
by Frank Luke, chairman Of the
commission.
From present indications the
final figures, however, will be
something between six and seven
million dollars under the 1924
valuation, and this will tend to
increase the tax rate.
The biggest shrinkage was in
Gila county, where the valuations
dropped about $20,000.OOO. Co.
chise county dropped $4,000, 900
Mohave county about million and
half, Greenlee county $1,000.

WHY COOLIDGE IS
NOT EXCITED OVER
COAL SITUATION
UNITED Press)

SWAMPSCOTT, Mass, Aug. 9
One of the principal reasons of
President Coolidge's failure to be-
come excited and alarmed over
the anthracite coal situation was
revealed Sunday.
Economic advisers to the presi-
dent, it was learned, have advised
him that the threatened strike of
155, 900 hard coal miners will
hardly be felt outside of the in
dustry for three months.
AS the presidents concern is
for the public, it can easily be
seen why he has taken the posi-
tion that the industry should set
tie it's own troubles, at least un-
til after the strike is well under
way.
After the strike has begun, Mr..
Coolidge can bring tremendous
pressure to bear upon the mine IS,
and operators in an attempt to
cause them to recede from their
stands and reach a compromise.
by the simple method of making
public a statement that the pub
lie needs coal. This, it is under
stood. he is prepared to do. Ad-
vlsers to the president say the
bituminous coal industry can in
crease its output twenty-five per-
cent, it necessary. The public
can and will be taught to use BIZ
luminous in place of anthracite.
