WASHINGTON Letter
8v " pDaley

Washington, June II. 1t is
now conceded that the only ele-
ment that can expedite the adj
journment of the present session
of Congress is a hot spell as only
Washington can produce. Prac-
tically, every resource to hasten
the disbanding of the Congress
has been unavailing because OF
powerful groups haggling over
legislative matters which are, at
best, of little partisan value
With the prospect of being de-
tanned in Washington indefinitely
it is believed that President Cool
idge will call the leaders of the
warning factions into conference,
or at least pass the word In un-
mistakable terms to reach com
promise and close up shop before
July /. Certain legislators whose
return to Congress depends upon
the enactment of measures fav-
ored in their districts will, un.
doubtedly, endeavor to block the
recess.
Those who have visited Wash.
ington during July and August
realize that its climate at that
time is not suitable for Dragging
The humidity would not be In.
ducive to profound thoughts on
the part of statesmen as it plays
havoc with the nerves. Unless
there is something of great Inn
portance the exodus of officia' s
from Washington begins after
Decoration Day. The weather
has been unusually cool this
spring, making Washington more
of delightful resort and not en-
couraging the quick dispatch OF
business. 1t is curious, how soon
people in official life become sur
feited with the talk tests in
Congress when the common
method of greeting is a comment
on the weather.
Two principal topics under dis
cussion here this week are farm
legislation and the recent order
of the President drafting state
officers into the Federal service
for the enforcement of prohibi-
ton. The opponents of the
Haugen bill are endeavoring to
have its principal features adopt
ed in the Senate as amendments
to the Senate agricultural bill.
The methods used by these advo-
Gates, it is claimed, has tenden-
CIV to hold up a general compro-
mise on agricultural relief.
The anxiety manifested by
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1926-06-03

members of Congress over the
fate of farm legislation is gen.
uine. The farm organizations are
flooding the Senate and House
with propaganda in support of
various proposals and the result
is that confusion prevails as to
the best method especially from a
political and economic stand
point. At present a study is dir
ected to political effects.
During this month primaries
will be held in North Carolina,
Iowa, Florida, New Jersey, Maine,
Minnesota and North Dakota
The Texas primaries will be held
in July. The balance of primary
and convention dates are fixed
for August and September. II
is small wonder that the present
incumbents in Congress want to
have this legislative matter
cleared up before adjournment
otherwise they will be obliged to
give definite explanations of
every stump speech in the agri-
cultural districts. If an agree
ment could be reached Congress
would, undoubtedly, a d our n
within a period of ten days.
The action of President Cool
idge in issuing an order for pro-
hibltion enforcement has pro-
yoked a storm in the Senate and
House which may spread to the
elections. Unquestionably the
so-called decree" will project
the prohibition problem to the
forefront In several states where
politicians believe it would be
ignored this year.
Criticisms against the admin
istrative plan comes from so
called vets and "drys". Ac-
I;cording to those who have made
"a close study of the presidential
order it authorizes the Treasury
Department to employ state of
ficers in case they are individ-
ually approved and are willing to
serve and are in a state where
no law prevents their serving.
1t is said that there is no com
pulsion In the order. All criti-
cism has been directed to the
Presidents power to issue this
decree, and that it would have
tendency to set up hosts of
petty spies. The problem is
by no means settled and the adj
journment of Congress will have
little effect on the issue.
