lings from their districts are re-
turning post haste and in panic
stricken condition. 1t is said in
Washington that a two year term
keeps a Congressman in turmoil
because he has hardly accustomed
himself to the job when it is nee
essary to reconstruct his political
fences to win reelection.
The question of naval defense
and armament has been revived
over the Presidents protest. Con.
siderable speculation exists as to
the possible political effect that
this reputation of Mr.. Coolidge's
policies will have on his prospect
i've candidacy for the Presidential
nomination.
The vote on the McNary- Haugen
farm relief bill revived nation
wide discussion as to the political
aspirations of President Coolidge.
Sentiment was equally divided as
to the possible course the Presi-
dent would take and the veto sur
prised many political observers.
1t is obvious that the measure can
not pass over the veto, as the pro-
ponents are not in position to
muster a two-thirds vote, neces-
sary to pass it. The disapproval of
the measure puts an end to all
other forms of farm relief at this
session, but it will provide meaty
topic of conversation in the agri-
cultural districts, especially where
farm organizations are firmly en-
trenched.
Prediction is freely made that
prominent Republicans aspiring to
the Presidential nomination will
endeavor to use the Coolidge veto
to the farm bill as an excuse for
putting forward their own partic-
ular merits and views on legisla-
tive problems affecting farmers.
The newcomers, who will take
office in the SEVENTEEN Congress
are already in Washington to take
the offices vacated by their pre-
decessors. Many of the so-calleo
'slame ducks 'or legislators de.
feated for reelection are planning
to practice law in Washington OF
in their home districts. Some 81
them are seeking political gift.

ington will soon take on the as
pect of a deserted village insofar

Washington Letter

Washington, March 2.-When
the curtain rings down on the
Sixty-ninth Congress Friday at
high noon it will bring relief to
official Washington. The proceed
ings of Congress during the last
few days have bordered on chaos
as time became the most precious
element. 1t is generally agreed
that many dangers arise from pre-
cipitancy which usually follow tu-
multuous assembly. Partisan
strife will be stilled temporarily,
as the Nations lawmakers rest on
their records and put their affairs
in order for the long vacation per-
iod.
1t is not too far-fetched to say
that congress has taken on a
theatrical tinge of late. The long
night sessions which produced bad
tempers and tongues more sharp
than usual attracted well-filled gal.
leries of spectators. The thirty
hour filibuster against the Bould-
er dam bill brought about bitter
feeling among the Senators be-
cause police officers of the Senate
were forced to resort to high
handed methods to insure a quor-
UNI in the Senate chamber. AS
the tangle over important legisla-
tive measures becomes more COM
plicated sponsors for constructive
legislative measures have practic-
ally Abandoned hope.
The situation has been such
that the Senate was forced to re-
sort to the adoption of a cloture
rule as means of limiting de-
bate. It is extremely difficult Ito
obtain adoption of this drastic rule
of conduct. 1t is virtually "gag'
rule which ordinarily finds few
friends in the Senate. However
in the time of an emergency the
cloture is valid means of curbine
discussions on the floor.
An unusual number of Senators
and Congressman are paying theil
respects to the President at the
White House during these days, s.
that it will make an impression 81

The Lanesboro Weekly says that
pair of slick statesmen sold suits
and overcoats to several people of
that village recently, and it APP

this community some time ago.
The suits and overcoats upon in
vestigation proved to be the fun
niest things ever brought to that
place. According to reports they
were fit for Charlie Chaplin ito
wear in his comedies. The pants
were built on the latest battleship
lines and the coats were designed
for round shouldered canaries.
The vest fitted better on a radiator

McNARY-HAUGEN FARM BILL VETOED
BY PRESIDENT COOLIDGE

President Coolidge vetoed the McNary-
Haugen Farm Relief bill.
In returning the message to Congress
without his signature last Friday he sent
with it 5000 word message justifying his
action.
Probably no piece of legislation passed
by Congress in years was so little under
stood as the McNary- Haugen bill.
When the Minnesota editors convened
in ST. Paul two weeks ago the McNary- Hau-
gen bill was the general topic of converse
ton in the lobby of the St. Paul hotel Many
of the newspaper men had spent much time
studying the measure and about the best
answer any of the proponents of the bill
could furnish was that it would give the
farmer mental relief"
The congressman from this district dis
cussed the bill editorially in his paper, the
Wadena Pioneer Journal, few weeks ago,
and admitted that the average congressman
didn't "know what it was all about" He
stated in effect that he intended to vote for
the measure, hoping it would bring relief.
Many men in congress and the state
legislatures vote for much discussed meas
ures they do not believe in, hoping and ex-
pecting the president or governor will veto
the measure. By passing the buck they re-
turn to their constituency and are not slow
in telling the "home folks" that they voted
for the legislation but the man higher up
killed it.
Below are some of the high lights of
President Coolidge's reasons for the veto:
The difficulty with this particular meas
ure is that it is not framed to aid farmers
as whole, and it is, furthermore, calculated
to injure rather than promote the general
public welfare.
1t is roughly estimated that in this coun-
try there are 1000 millers, over 1000 meat
packing plants, and about 1000 actual
spinners. No say definitely after
reading this bill whether each of these con-
Germs would be entitled to receive con-
tract with the government. Certainly no
independent concern could continue in
business without one. Each of the agencies
holding contract-the efficient and in
efficient ake-would be reimbursed for
all their losses costs, and charges.
Nothing is more certain than that such
price fixing would upset the normal ex-
change relationships existing in the open
market and that it would finally have to be
extended to cover multitude of other
goods and services. Government price
fixing, once started, has alike no justice and
no end. 1t is economic folly from which
this country has every right to be spared.
This socalled equalization fee is not a tax
for purposes of revenue in the accepted
sense. It is a tax for the special benefit of
particular groups. AS direct tax
tain of the vital necessaries of life it rep
resents the most vicious form of taxation.
Its real effect is employment of the

Here's a real Minnesota fish
story taken from the Grant Coun-
ty Herald. The first good haul of
rough fish taken from Pomme de
Terre lake last week Saturday by
the T. Stuverud fishing crew was
when over 10000 pounds of buffalo
were brought in in one haul. The
net tore while dragging them in.
There were many large fish, the
net including one large sturgeon
and one 68-pound buffalo. Anoth-
err haul was made which included
mostly game fish with several fine
pike. Only 400 pounds of buffalo
were found in the last catch. A
large sturgeon which weighed over
100 pounds was also in the net.
Harry Nehls of Norcross was
taken before Judge w. H. Goet-
Finger to undergo an examination
for insanity. 1t developed, how
ever, that Mr.. Nefls was sane and
his wife was sent to the state hos
pital at Fergus instead. Mr..
Nehls had been causing considera-
BILE trouble by telling stories
about a number of Norcross men
and had signed papers to the eff
feet that they were erroneous.
Later, however, stories of a SINH
lar nature developed and residents
of the town believed him insane.
Upon investigation it was found
that Mrs. Nehls was responsible
and for the peace and happiness of
their domestic life and for the well
fare of the town it was decided ito
send the lady away. o.,
Here's a good one. Believe it
or not. The other day young
lad told his mother that a young
girl, with more or less of an avor-
dupois, wished ito reduce. How
ever, she did not believe in excess
sive exercise and wished to. take
an easier way. She went to a
nearby dispensary of patent med
icines where she purchased some
pills which were guaranteed to do
the business or money back. The
instructions on the box stated that
the pills were to be taken immed-
lately after taken from the re-
ceptacle. The young lady COM
menced to follow instructions, but
just at that time the telephone rang
and she laid the pill on the table
for the time being. When she re-
turned she found a tape worm
crawling from the pill. No wond-
er the pills were guaranteed so
thoroughly.
If the men of Rushford have
their way the women of that place
will have to forego the bobbed hair
and return to woman's browning
glory. But the writer will lay
bet that the men got in bad when
at Community Club dinner they
voted, by a three to one decision,
that the ladies must allow their
hair to grow. This decision came
at the end of a heated debate in
which the major question. Gre

his advanced age, at the home of his
son, Thomas Higgins of SO Wilson
street this morning at 1880 o'clock.
Mr.. Higgins was born in County
Mayo, Ireland, in January, 1885. and
at the age of - years came to this

he entertained with stories of early
New Britain. For many years he
lived on Park street which at that
time was the center of colony Of
Irish settlers. but for the past seven
years he had been living with his
