The House of Representatives
will have one of the appropriation
bills under consideration within a
day or two. It is really remark
able how fast such an unweildy
body can act when it settles down
to the consideration of legislation
instead of bombastic oratory. The
President has made several import
ant recommendations which Con-
gress is bound to study, but it is
doubtful if a small portion of the
proposals will be euacted at this
session.
The budget message of the l'rcs-
ident is second only in import tnce
to the Presidents annual message,
for it gives an accounting of gov
eminent receipts and expenditures
as well as proposals for. appropria-
lions to cover the fiscal year of
1927. The budget report shows
that the actual expenditures, in
Guiding reduction Of the public
debt, in the fiscal year 1925
amounts to $3,586,9S7,S73. so. 1t
was only a few years ago that it
was considered the height of ex-
travagance when the Federal Gov
eminent spent billion dollars.
The estimate for 1927 is slightly
higher, but savings are expected
for 1928. The President has sug-
gested a temporary tax measure,
and makes it clear that conditions
do not warrant permanent tax
plan. Secretary of the Treasury,
Mellon in his report to Congress,
today says that it does not seem
probable that we can contemplate
a reduction in government expen-
ditures in the next few years. He
has sounded warning to Congress
against making tax reduction a
football of politics.
1t is said that the folks back
home constantly criticize the Gov
eminent at Washington. They do
not realize the tremendous amount
of detail necessary to it's success
full management. With all the talk
on prohibition current in drawing
rooms, it is interesting to note
that the Treasury Department has
asked for nearly thirty million dol
lars for the enforcement of laws.

Number of Hogs to Raise

The number of hogs that should
be kept on a farm can usually be
determined by the crops which the
farm will produce most successful
ly and how we'll hogs fit into the
general plan for that particular
farm. A study of these problems
will indicate the number of brood

Washington Letter

Washington, Dec. with the
President and his cabinet render
ing an account of their steward
ship and recommending govern
mental policies for the next fiscal
year the business of the second
session of the Sixty Ninth Con-
gress is now formally under way.
Already the Legislative choppers"
have received hundreds of proposed
laws, and it remains for the COM
mittees of the Congress to assert
the wheat from the chaff. In the
cloak rooms of the Senate and
House you can gather a variety of
opinions, each positive in its char
acter, as to the political signifi-
canoe of the Presidents message
and of the list of appointees to
Federal posts.
Though the present Congress
does not expire until March A dis
cussion has turned to the prospects
of special session. 1t is current
ly reported that some of the i'm
portant appropriation bills will
fall by the wayside, due to a
coalition of Democrats and west
ern Republicans, thus making it
necessary to call a special session.
There is considerable talk these
days about control of Congress or
the relative number of partisan
votes in calculating the fate of
various legislative measures in
which you are interested. 1t is
well to remember that it is one
thing to have a majority on paper
and another to have the majority
present during a test vote when
everything depends upon the act
ual count of noses.
The Congressional leaders are
harassed at present as the result
of changes i'm the personnel of
important committees. Anybody
familiar with Legislative proceed
ure knows that the real business
of Congress is transacted in COM
mittees. AS an illustration, dur
inc the Sixty-eighth Congress IT,.
812 bills We're introduced and 759
passed during the seven-months
session. This indicates that the
committees served as a sieve, as
only small percentage of legis-
lative measures reached the SEN
ate and House floors. 1t is equal
ly obvious that legislation of mer-
it will languish during the debates
which are now beginning. -
Several new faces nave appear
ed in both houses as the result of
recent elections. AS usual, the
newcomers endeavor to obtain
places on important committees,
but here they find the rule of
seniority in service a barrier to
their hopes. A mans Importance
in political affairs in Washington
is usually measured by his ap-
pointment to committees and his
rank in these groups is fixed &C
cordingly.

STOCK LIST BREAK
DEPRESSES TRADE
Wave of Pessimism Sweep.
ing Financial District of
New York.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, March 27.--A spirit
of pessimism swept over the financial
district this week when renewed liqui-
dation of stocks sent the average of
20 leading Industrial issues down to q
new low level for the year, the bulk
of commodity prices continued to de-
cline. French francs collapsed to the
record low established in March, 1924,
and Belgian francs sank to the low
est price ever recorded
Although there is still considerable
difference of opinion as to just what
extent the break in stock prices is
forecasting the future OF business,
there is no doubt that most of the
earlier hopes have been revised, and
that Spring trade, while comparing
favorably with a year ago, has not
come up to general expectations. II
has been noticeable that the sharpest
declines this week have taken place
in issues known to be selling out Of
line with their present earning power
and future prospects.
Bankers generally agree that the
depression in stock prices has had a
temporarily bad psychological effect
on business. The fact that it has not
been accompanied by any unusual in
crease in failures or other signs of
financial distress is accepted as evi.
dence that business conditions are
fundamentally sound. Most of the
leading companies are in strong
financial condition. well supplied with
cash and with relatively low inven'
tories.
Although there was no strain on the
credit situation, even when stock
speculation was at it's height, it un-
doubtedly has been materially i'm
proved by the reduction of about
$685., ,000,000 in brokers' loans since
the first of the year. New bond offer
ings are being brought out at the rate
of about $100,000,000 weekly, but
stock financing has been practically
suspended for the time being.
Weakness of the French franc and
Belgian currencies reflects the do
mestic financial problems of those
governments. centering largely on
their apparent inability to balance
their budgets.

tells in his Memories of so Years" "
in which reference to the world
famous bank is made. Mr.. Depew
was travelling in Switzerland only a
day or two before the World War
broke out. News Of Germany's hos
tile intentions had apparently reached
Swiss bankers, and suddenly they re-
fused to take foreign currency or to
cash letters of credit or bank checks.
Consequently the American tourist
decided to hasten to Paris, and it was
while buying his tickets at the rail
road station that he overheard two
elderly women excitedly discussing
the currency trouble.
One of them Smoothed out a Bank
of England note and said to her sister:
There, Sarah, is a Bank of Eng
land note which has been as good as
gold all over the world ever since
Christ came to earth, and these Swiss
dumbells won't take it,
Mr.. Depew adds, II told this Incl
dent afterward to banker in London.
He said they were very ignorant
women; there were no Bank of Eng
land notes at that time"
Florida BoOm's Present Status.
, Unusual interest has been maifest-
ed during the past two weeks in the
real estate situation in Florida. Talk
with financial men just coming back
from there disCloses a general feeling
that the real estate boom passed it's
height some time ago and that the
declining market may be expected to
bring many adjustments. Buying
that is now going on ia highly selec-
tive" they assert. Florida banks are
believed to have been SO cautious on
their loans on promoted develop
ments they will not suffer il values
gradually work lower.
One man who has visited Florida
regularly for the past six years said
the other day that Florida has under
gone six years growth in only six
months. That is too abnormal to be
maintained and is sure to be followed
by a let-up, the one that all the papers
are now reporting. First payments
were easy, but second and third pay
ments are harder.
All financial men returning north
freely state that the Florida land de-
velopments which were begun on a
sound basis and are intrinsically val
liable have nothing to fear. Climate,
accessibility and popularity of the
State as a playground are inescapable
qualities which do not change, and the
developments which best combine
these are expected to continue to ex-
pand indefinitely. The future pros
perity of the State as a whole is as
sured. In passing it may be said that
the views of these returning travellers
coincide fully with those recently ex-
pressed by I. A. Fleming, veteran
writer on finance for The Star, who
has been passing the Winter in Flor
ida and incidentally carefully observ-
ing conditions there.
