WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from Page u

necessary in order that these bills
may be whipped into shape for con-
sideration of Congress next month.
If President Coolidge accepts all of
the suggestions that have been for
warded to him for the inclusion in his
annual report to the Congress, his
message will have all the appearance
of patchwork quilt. Undoubtedly
he will consult the members of his
Cabinet, Individually and collectively.
and have their aid in sitting the mass
of ideas which have been sent to the
White House. General Lord the
director of the budget is one man
who is frequently consulted by the
President, especially when sugges-
lions have to do with expenditures of
Federal moneys. In addition to rem
dering an account of his stewardship
to the Congress, the Chief Executive
must also make recommendations for
legislation.
The annual report of the depart
ment chiefs and bureau heads have
been prepared and sent to the printers
and they Will be distributed shortly
in order that the country may know
of the work of the administrative
branch of the government. The fin
ancial officers of the department have
already been heard by the Director of
the Budget on proposed appropriations
and the Committee on Appropriations
of the House will call them for testi-
mony during this month. There are
several organized drives for appropri-
atoms which in reality constitute
pork barrel legislation as appro-
priations made for political effect are
classified. The budget system has
to a large extent wiped out this evil
but it exists in some form or another.
1t is reported that several members
of the Senate and House who have re-
turned to their desks are drafting
bills relating to tariff; regulations of
the electric public utilities by some
Federal authority such as the Federal
Power Commission, Interstate Com
merce. Commission; bills designed to
aid the cotton industry of the south;
railroad measures; lower taxes; the
merchant marine; and revision of ell
ection laws covering use of "slush"
funds at the primaries and on other
occasions. The chances are that the
majority of these measures will only
reach the talking stage and never be
translated into law.
Predictions are freely made that
the coming winter will be extremely
interesting from a social as we'll as
political standpoint. Already plans
have been made at the White House
for the State reception and dinner and
incoming families of Legislators are
preparing elaborate entertainments.
Washington is always distinctive.
That's what makes it so interesting
to the people at large.
