CONGRESS FACES
HEAVY PRO CRAM
IRA SESSION POSSIBLE.

CONTINUED from first page)
extra session and call into being the
new senate which will be so closely
divided between the two old parties
that anything may happen.
Democratic counsel is divided. Some
of its radical elements;1are seager to
force an extra session and they want
at least one, possibly more, of the big
supply bills talked to death" in the
senate. If such tactics are resorted
to it is expected there will be a loud
explosion in the general direction of
the vice president. General Dawes
has been trying to tell the country
the senate rules are all wrong. He
fully expects the coming congress to
furnish the horrible example"
Conservative democrats believe
they will stand better if they do not
obstruct the orderly functions of gov
eminent.
But entirely apart from an extra
session program there would seem to
be trouble enough for congress. There
is an estimated treasury surplus of
$500, 100000. Already a. dozen diff
ferent plans have been brought for
ward for disposing of it.
President Coolidge has suggested a
refund on income taxes paid this
year.
A half regiment of democrats and
not few republicans have attacked
this scheme. The democrats general
ly want to take the bull by the horns
and grant sweeping income tax re-
auctions on the theory that, if there
is to be a treasury surplus there is
no reason why there should not be a
continuing one. They feel it will be
good campaign material.
The democrats will fight too, to re-
move the so-called nuisance taxes.
The advocates of farm relief want the
$3OO,OOO,OO0 applied outright to aid
farmers.
Senator Watson of Indiana wants
the surplus applied to the public debt.
Secretary Mellon feels that enough
already is being put aside each year
for this purpose.
The liquor question also must come
up and if there is one subject above
another which lends itself to endless
talk, liquor it is. The treasury is
going to recommend it's plan of start
ing the distillation of medicinal whis-
key in tbs country and the formation
of government corporation to take
over the available liquor supply for
proper and lawful distribution.
The Anti-Saloon league is opposed
to this. 1t wants medicinal supplies
imported from abroad
This coming session ought to be a
hummer from start to finish.-Brown

STATE LEADER
TALKS TO LEGION
MEN FRIDAY EVE.

MEN FRIDAY EVE.
Continued from first page.)
Stressing the necessity of every one
voting at the time of election, Mr.
Rand said, eve see already our lazi-
ness at the polls. If you Legionaires
were deprived Of the right to .v6.e
You would go to war in a. minute, so
at election hereafter get out and ex-
press yourself, exercise your fran
chise; your right to vote is far great
er than the right for which you went
to war in the Hast conflict. The
thought of the American Legion be-
coming a third political party is
something to be scoffed at. We are
no political organization. The fact
that you carried a rifle in defense OF
your country is no reason why you
should not carry ballot in defense OF
your principles.
"Conservation of the American
Legion is the one problem to solve.
If we do not work as individuals NE
will shrink, but when the people know
what we have done and for what we
stand, former members will flock back
for membership. We have such a
great future and each one of us is a
participant of this future. Without
the support of the non-service peo-
pie we cannot forge ahead but We
will have the support of everyone.
The Auxiliary has tremendous in
fluence on the destiny of the Ameri-
can Legion and we want this organ
ization to build along with us. Your
subscription did not terminate with
peace, we must subscribe forever to
the community, state and nation"
In closing Mr.. Rand stated that the
purpose of the American Legion could
best be expressed in the words Of
Sir Henry Newbolt:
"To set the cause above renoun,
To love the game beyond the prize,
To honour, while you strike him down
The foe that comes with fearless eyes;
To count the life of battle good,
And clear the land that gave you
birth,
Bring nearer yet the brotherhood
That binds the brave of all the
earth"
The entertainment features of the
program were a vocal solo by Miss
Lieverson, accompanied by Miss Pet
erson; group of piano selections by
Miss Peterson; a vocal duet by Messrs.
Dahlberg and Anthony and the Cal
lery Brothers in a little clog act.

for the business of farming. We re-
cognize that. Yet it is unreasonable
for men to withhold their support
from any important measure that
promises to reach underlying causes,
simply because the measure does not
meet at once every requirement for a
balanced program.
at is our duty and obligation,
therefore, to assume an aggressive
role. We should with caution and
with highest motive formulate our
program and then in a spirit Of alb
solute fairness we should get behind
it with all the force and resources at
our command"
Unless present tendencies can be
changed, he said, agriculture will be-
come progressively less important in
our national counsels, while by the
same token other interests will be-
come more dominant, thereby increas-
ing, rather than curing, the existing
malidjustment"
"Our rural life can be sustained
only by keeping pace with the stand
ards Of living and the opportunities
for education and spiritual betterment
offered to those who dwell in our
Cities" he said. "This can be assur-
ed in but one way-those who dwell
upon the farms must be put upon a
basis of economic equality with those
who dwell in the cities.
eve are learning to work together.
I have supreme faith in the ability of
American farmers to do the things
necessary to insure the future of
American agriculture-that it shall
be an institution of selfrespecting,
homecoming, independent men and
women"

EXPERT GIVES TIPS
ON HOME BUILDING
Put Kitchen in Front, Living Room

"Style" as Ruinous,

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, March 31.-Some reVolu-
tionary ideas in house building are
being presented at a clinic for home
builders here this week.
Why, for instance, put the Kitchen
in the back of the house? Earl II
Reed, jr, head of the architecture
department of Armour Technical
Institute, says it may be in front just
as well.
Live on your whole lot" he sug
gests. Your front yard should be
small, merely a concession to the
public Let your kitchen have
window to the street, and let your
living room and dining room face the
back yard. Then make a garden Of
that back yard; have a lawn with a
grass terrace and trees and shrub
berv, a playground for yourself and
children. Further back, hidden by the
shrubbery. there should be Vege-
table garden, the garage, chicken
yard and some fruit trees
The average small house costs more
than it ought to, he said, because Il
is cluttered with details aiming at
stvle which succeed only in making
it an ARCHITECTURAL museum.
