Our Washington Letter
Bu " ODaley
> nalcsal fouca,a, assoenrros s'tcRl

Washington, Dec. S.-With the
President and his Cabinet rendering
an account of their stewardship and
governmental policies
for the next fiscal year the business
of the second session of the Sixty
Ninth Congress is now formally I'M
der way. Already the legislative
choppers" have received hundreds of
proposed laws, and it remains for the
committee 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 character, as to
the political significance of the Presi-
dents message and of the list of APP
pointees to Federal posts.
Though the present Congress does
not expire until Mar. discussion has
turned to the prospects of spec
cial session. 1t is currently re-
ported that some of the important ap-
preparation bills will fall by the way
side, due to a coalition of Democrats
and western Republicans, thus MAX
ing it necessary to call special ses-
sion. There is considerable talk
these days about control of Congress
or the relative number of partisan
votes in calculating the fate of var
ious legislative measures in which
you are interested. 1t is well to re-
member that it is one thing to have
majority on paper and another to
have the majority present during a
test vote when everything depends
upon the actual count of noses.
The Congressional leaders are har-
assed at present as the result of
changes in the personnel of important
committees. Anybody familiar with
legislative procedure knows that the
real business of Congress is transac-
ted in committees. AS an illustration,
during the Sixty-eighth Congress H.
S12 bills were introduced and 759
passed during the seven-months ses-
sion. This indicates that the COM
mittees served as sieve, as only a
small percentage of legislative meas
ures reached the Senate and House
floors. 1t is equally obvious that
legislation of merit will languish
during the debates which are now be-
ginning.
Several new faces have appeared

WRESTLING CARD

Bouts at Askoy, Dec. Is, Ar
ranged by American Legion.

The complete card for the wrest-
ling match to be staged at the D. B

ming, Dec. 16 under auspices of the
local American Legion Post, has now
been arranged. AS was announced
in last weeks American, the main
bout, which is finish catch-as-catch.
can wrestling contest-best two out
of three-is between l. M. Plumb OF
Bruno, and Con Laastuen of Mime
apolis. They are both very active
and skillfui light heavyweight wrest-
lers, weighing between ITO and 18O
pounds, having met once before in a
very close contest in which Plumb
emerged winner. The battle for hon
ors Thursday evening is awaited with
interest by many wrestling fans in
these parts.
The semi-wind-up will be between
Svend Christensen and Tillman Lar
sen, two husky Askovites, who have
appeared on wrestling programs be-
fore. This contest will be but one
fall. or twenty minutes.
The curtain raiser will bring to-
gether Emery Nedegaard and Aage
Lunde, who have also tried conclu-
sions at other times. Both are out to
win and will help to give the fans
entertainment for their money. The
curtain raiser will be for one fall, or
fifteen minutes.
Reports come from the camps of
both Plumb and Laastuen, the head
liners, that they are both in the best
of condition and each one eager to
win.
AS yet, a referee has not been
agreed upon but it is expected that
the main bout contestants will agree
upon this within a few days. Tt is
quite likely that Axel Nissen, local
veteran lightweight wrestler, will be
the third man in the ring.

BIG ATTENDANCE AT
SHOW is LOOKED FOR
County Agent w. F. Hammargren
Boosts the Pine County Poultry
Show to be Held at Pine City,
Dec. IL, IA, and Is, as follows:

The annual Poultry Show which
will be held at Pine City on Dec. 10.
IA, and Is will give an opportunity
to the poultry raisers of Pine county
to see what their neighbors are doing.
This event is a very important one
to all poultry folks. Every poultry
raiser in Pine county should exhibit
some birds at this show and those
unable to exhibit should take at least
one day to visit and compare birds
which are on exhibit. This method of
comparison gives the poultry men a
chance to find out where they are at
fault in their own business and will
give them an opportunity to correct
mistakes which they may have made
in the years past. The board of di-
rectors and management of this poul-
try show are doing everything pos
sible to make it an educational event
and it is hoped that farmers in gen.
eral throughout all Pine county may
at least spend day, either the 18th
or 18th, to visit his show which will
be held at the town hall in Pine City.
Entries can be sent to l.. F. Appleby,
secretary of the Poultry Association,
at Pine City. Dec. 18th is the entry
day. ALI birds shipped will be taken
from the depot and returned to
the depot without charge. Birds
will be cared for while at the show
1t is hoped that every poultry man in
the county will help to make this
the biggest poultry show ever held
in Pine county.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1926-12-09

in both houses as the result of re-
cent elections. AS usual, the new
corners endeavor to obtain places on
important committees, but here they
find the rule of seniority in service
barrier to their hopes. A mans
Importance in political affairs in
Washington is usually measured by
his appointment to committees and
his rank in these groups is fixed &C
cordingly.
The social life of the Capital is at
its height with state dinners at the
White House and receptions at the
homes of the Cabinet officers. The
social code of Washington is of ne
cessity different from that in vogue
in other American cities, because of
the presence of diplomats. New
corners to Washington's social life
who are considered leaders in their
respective communities often find it
necessary to utilize the service of a
social guide at the national Capital.
The House of Representatives will
have one of the appropriation bills
under consideration within a day or
two. 1t is really remarkable how fast
such an unweilded body can act when
it settles down to the consideration
of legislation instead of bombastic
oratory. The President has made
several important recommendations
which Congress is bound to study, but
it is doubtful if small portion of
the proposals will be enacted at this
session.
The budget message of the Presi-
dent is second only in Importance to
the Presidents annual message, for
it gives an accounting of government
receipts and expenditures as well as
proposals for appropriations to cover
the fiscal year of 1927 The budget
report shows that the actual expen-
ditures, including reduction of the
public debt, in the fiscal year 1926
amsants to $3.586.9S7, 1880. 1t was
only a few years ago that it was
considered the height of extrava-
gance when the Federal Government
spent a billion dollars. The esti-
mate for 1927 is slightly higher, but
savings are expected for 1928. The
President has suggested a temporary
