CONGRESS- ONLY
ACTION May BE
SLASH In TAXES
Party Divisions Make Dispo.
sition of Most Questions
Nearly Impossible,
BY Paul R. Mallon
United Press staff CORRESPONDENT

United Press staff COrres7onGcnt
WASHINGTON, Dec. T.
With the opening of Congress
there is only one question as
sured of disposal before sum-
mer adjournment and that is
tax reduction.
= The world court, farm relief rail,
roads, coal, shipping and tariff
legislation. Muscle Shoals and pro-
hibition are caught in maelstrom
.of varying opinions that makes final
action upon them uncertain if not
outright impossible.
f A check-up of committee chairmen
and leaders of the various phases of
sentiment upon each of the vital
questions awaiting solution shows
the following situation:
Tax Bill to Pass
IL TAX REDUCTION: The bill,
drawn by the House Ways and
y Means Committee INVOLVING most Of
q the Mellon plan will be passed by
1.-The House before Christmas, but a
fighting Senate is waiting to tear it
to pieces. Debate in the Senate may
extend into the summer and what
shape the bill will be in when it
finally passes no one can say. Some
sort of a, bill, probably a COM
promise between the present House
H measure and the Senate proposals
will be adopted.
s FARM RELIEF: The administra-
tons bill to extend cooperative
marketing aid through the Depart
ment Of Agriculture has majority
although the farm bloc criticises it
as insufficient and will fight for a
substantiation measure. 1t is I'M
certain as to what will be done,
although the administration bill has
an even chance Of passing.
WORLD COURT: The Senate ex-
poets to adopt resolution authoriz-
ing adherence by the nation to the
international court, but the ir-
reconcilables threaten to amend the
resolution so as to divorce the court
from the League of Nations. Just
how far these amendments go in
"divorcing" will determine the ef-
fectiveness of the project. Some
sort of resolution is expected to
pass.
# COAL: The Board bill, authoriZ
ing President Coolidge to appoint
~ - -, iee;ope IN t;,ooS of aroarOapCv
to govern the industry, will be in
troduced just as it was last session,
but action upon it is doubtful pend
ing developments in the present coal
strike.
s4 Tariff Attack Looms
y TARIFF: The farm bloc is plan
ming an attack on the tariff IL no
farm relief measure suitable to them
is enacted. 1t appears extremely
unlikely, however, that any revision
sof the present law will be made.
.sss RAILROADS: The Cummins plan
sof railroad consolidation, sanctioned
by President Coolidge, will be
brought forward and has an even
chance of passing. 1t is probable
that no other railroad legislation will
f4be~ considered.
e. PROHIBITIONS: Vets and drys
plan bigger fight than last year
over appropriations and enforce
rnent. No revision will be made iii
( the present law. The Andrews plan
will be discussed.
WATERWAYS: Possibility of ac-
tion on the proposal for purchase
of Cape Cod Canal, development of
4 the st. Lawrence waterways and
building of Boulder canyon dam
have little chance of final action.

bodying his principles, he said, for
congressional action this session.
The President opposed the pro
posal for government corporations
which would directly CT indirectly
fix prices or buy and sen farm prod
ucts because, he said, they would
create bureaucracy, destroy cooper,
atives and the farmers independence
and stimulate reproduction end
ing in complete collapse.
Elaborate statistics were produced
by the President to show that the
present tariff rates benefit the
farmers and should not be revised.
Adverse Cost Small
THE total adverse cost to the
farmer on account Of the tariff is
only between per cent and 3 per
cent of his purchases.
ION the other side, protection is
a great benefit to agriculture as a
whole. The $3.50, 100000 of agri-
cultural produce imported last year
had to pay $26O,OOO,OOO for the
privilege of coming in to compete
with our own farm production.
Protection greatly aids diversi-
fication and eliminates Improbable
surplus. Any study Of dairy prod
ucts, flax, wool and many other
commodities will demonstrate that IL
does"
Urges Loans
In aiding industry the present tar
riff helps agriculture because
prosperity in our industries is of
more value to the farmer than the
whole export market for foodstuff, ="
he added.
Instead of in tariff revision and
price fixing, the President saw hope
in the farm loan and intermediate
credit banks, which have loaned
81 200, 900, GOO at moderate rates to
$50, 900 farmers, and in cooperative
marketing.
For a more orderly marketing
calculated to secure a better range
OF prices in cooperative movement
promises the greatest success" he
said. Already they are handling
81, 500, 900, 900 of farm produce, or
nearly one-fifth OF the annual pro-
ductiofI.
Agriculture Should Lead
UNLESS all past experience is to
he disregarded, Notwithstanding its
present embarrassments, agriculture
as a whole should lead industry in
future prosperity" Coolidge con-
cluded.
There have been discussions
which seem to indicate some fear
that our agriculture is becoming de
cadent and that it already has
reached it's highest point and that,
becoming Improbable. it is likely to
diminish. Nothing in the appear.
ance of the country or of its people
as I have travelled over it has seemed
to indicate any deterioration nor dc
I find anything in the farm census
and reports that warrants this con
clusion."

 Two Years

Hartford July 23--The state high way department yesterday notified selectmAn of every town in the state that no alotments for state aid road improvem ents will be made by the state government for the next two year period. This letter is sent in conformity with a law recently passed by the legislature which re- dures that notification of the tota! amount of so-called state aid money be sent 10 each town within 30 days after the appropriation shall have been made available including an estimate d the probable allotment to each town,
 Inasmuch as the legislature made an appropriation for such improve. ments of only S1o,o0h, the selectman are advised that "it readily will be seen that an pportionment of this small appropriation among the l63 towns of the state would not be rra acticable. Therefore, no allot. ments will be made
 In some cases. there remain in the state treasury small amounts Of unoNpended state aid funds to the credit of certain towns from rrevi- ous allotments granted by othor seS- sions of the legislature, and on un- completed contracts still outstand- ling.
