the ungentle treatment.
Anyway, If life isn't a mirror, its
experiences do have a way of TAX

expectations about them. The per-

usually gets it; the one who is prac-

Blocking Adjournment.

Decision by the House of Represent
atives. by vote of 1911 TO l33 to
re fer to the committee on ways and
means a resolution calling for sine
die adjournment on the 3Oth of this
month does not necessa rily mean a
protracted session Of Congress this
Summer. This vote may be taken as
a serving of notice that a numerical
ma iority of the House, comprising a
group of blocs, dema nds action on
several mea sures before adjournment.
1t does not however. mean that these
blocs are united on the legislation on
which action is deman ded. 1t has
been indicated that the coalition in
cludes those who want farm relief
legislation, rivers and harbors appro-
pria ton, a coal bill, Muscle Shoals
power legislation and some action on
reapportionme This is a rather
miscellaneous program and it does
not follow that all of these inca sures
ca comma nd a. ma iority, even though
the proponents of all Of them together
constitute a ma jority sufficient to
block adjournment.
1t has been stated that this action
yesterday in refusing to agree upon
the 3Oth of June for adjournment is
a defeat for the Presidents program.
This does not follow. The President
wants no more large scale expendi
ture legislation AT this session, but
prolongation Of the session in order
to pass rivers and harbors bill
through the House. for instance.
would not discommode the Executive
assuredly, for it is not assured that
the bill could pass the Senate.
An adequate and safe measure of
farm relief is desired by the admins
tration. though the bill which the
Senate is now considering and which
in substance the House recently re-
jected by a considerable ma jority is
not Of that nature. Prolongation Of
the session that the Senate might still
pass. the same bill in the hope that
the House might reconsider it's pre-
vious action so that some sort of farm
relief legislation might be enacted
before adjournment would seem to be
rather futile proceeding. If the
House had passed the Haugen bill,
against which the administratiO has
set it's face. and the Senate were on
the point of passing it, the postpone
ment of adjournmen in order that
the legislation might be completed
would be justified as q means of clear
ing Congress of responsibility on this
score of granting relief to the farm
ers, however unwisely. But the action
of the House In rejecting the same
measure makes protra action of the ses-
sion on this score of farm relief leg
isla ton rather a mere gesture.

Ten Cents.

news dispa tches tell Of this quarrel in
pithy form: ten men fight ten minutes
for ten cents. ten policemen arrest
eight, four are sent to the hospital
and four to Jail. but no one knows
who got the ten cents.
When a thin dime will create such a
scene as this it is certainly time for
Intervention of some kind. The police
patrol responding to the riot call used
more than ten cents worth of gasoline
and the hospital care for the four COM
batants will aggregate a good deal
more than a total Of two nickels. And
besides that the fines for all of the
men engaged in the brawl will run
into a good many times ten cents.
What a funny world this is.

Sound Government Finance.

President CooldSes address last

ment was sermon on the homely
virtue Of thrift 4 great deal has
been said about Coolidge economy and
some Of those not in sympathy with
his ideas have sought TO make them
appear to he pennypinching parsl-
monv. The President made il plain that
he has NO such conception of Govern
ment finances. He believes in liberal
Government expenditures. 80 long as
such expenditures are wisely designed
10 advance the welfare of the people.
II is wastefulness in Government eX-
penditures gainst which he is battling.

municipal governments. as well as the
Federal Government. collect the money
they spend in the form of taxes upon
the people. Every dollar they take in
taxes is dollar subtracted from
either the purchasing or the saving
power of the people. and every dollar
wastefully expended is a hurt to pros
rerity. both present and future.
Mr.. Coolidge showed that from 1921
tn 1925 the Federal Government re-
HI "a n
billion dollars A year. He believes
that there cannot he much further re-
duction without impairment of eff
cheney. except as the debt is paid off
and interest charges are reduced, but
he dema nds that every Federal official

costs of administration. The fight to
eliminate waste having been largely
won. the task now is to keep it from
creeping hack again.
The President sees no immediate
prospect of a further reduction in Fed
eral taxation. and he is unwilling to
hold out any false hopes in that direc-
tion. 1t Is estimated that the current
fiscal year will close with a surplus of
about $500. 600. 900 in the Treasury.
The prediction is that in the fiscal

lieves to be too narrow a margin for

The Senate and Pennsylvania.

Although he eventually yielded to
persua sion and answered queries put
by the chairman of the Senate cam.
paign fund investigating committee,
Mr.. Beidleman, the defeated candidate
for the governorship nominate ton in
Pennsylvania, was quite within his
rights when he at first denied the
authority Of the committee to inquire
into strictly local political matters in
that State. His challenge of the right
of the committee to inquire into his
knowledge OF affairs in one of the
counties was evidently recognized as
warranted, for no attempt was made
to compel an answer. His response
was elected through indirection and
thus an issue was avoided. the out
come of which would probably have
been damaging to the prestige Of the
investigating committee.
Congress has no Jurisdiction what
ever over strictly State affairs. 1t has
no power to probe local politics. 1t
can with full right delve into all mat
ters pertaining to tho nomination and
election of Senators and Representa-
tives, and into matters likewise con-
corning the election Of the President
and Vice President. Upon the strict
Nv State field, however, 1t cannot tres
pass.
In this present case the State and
Federal campaigns were intimately
associated. through the alignment Of
the factions. The names Of Mr.. Ware
and Mr.. Beidleman were connected as
candidates respectively for the sen
atoriaI and the gubernatorial nomina-
TONS Likewise the names Of Mr..
Pepper and Mr.. Fisher were asso-
ciate6 in the same manner. There
was connection between the campaign
fund Of each nsmhepeot thAss two
