North Dakota Senator Insists
That Another Vote Should
Be Taken on McNary-H au.
gen Bill Before March
Thinks Measure Might Not
Be Vetoed

Washington, Dec. s. (AP) -
Charges that certain ADVOCATES OF
the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill
were attempting to force a vote late
in the session on the measure and
another veto SO that the issue
would be thrown into the 1928 pres
idential campaign were made Sun
day by Senator Nye, Republican,
North Dakota, in a statement de-
handing early action on farm leg
islation.
/ Senator Nye declared that these
"socallcd friends Of agriculture"
hoped to make farm relief mere
political football 1t is their plan,
he said, to have late votes in the
house and senate in the belief that
the bill will he vetoed again by
President Coolidge and no farm
, legislation enacted.
Calls For Another Vote
The North DakOtan called for an
other vote on the McNary-Haugen
bill before March and urged il it
was passed again by congress and
vetoed by Mr.. Coolidge that a
straight-out subsidy plan, now un-
der consideration as compromise,
bee passed.
"Thc second choice" he said,
might well be an out and open SUBJ
sidy plan, acceptable to the farm
er as last resort. Such plan OPP
Grated for single year would
serve to convince present McNary-
! Haugen foes of the wisdom Of its
acceptance in preference to contin-
ued drain upon the federal treas
ury."
The statement of Senator Nye
! brought into the open rumblings
heard about the capital lately that
SEINE of those interested in the cam
n0ign of Frank 0. Lowden for the
-. rreridential nomination
would not object to making the Nc.
~ vii an issue and fOl
that reason were not interested in
j other agricultural relief proposals.
| 1t also brought to light the dis.
cussion going on for a compromise
on the measure vetoed last year by
the president, revealing it is in the
nature OF subsidy plan in place OF
| the equalization fee.
Early Action Necessary
"True friends Of agriculture
Senator Nyc said, ''must insist apon
| early action by congress on farm
relief bill. For my part cannot
see that anything has been ad-
vanced that would accomplish what
the McNary-Haugen plan would

lines should be passed not later

IS FOLLOWING
ANCIENT RULES
Vice President Dawes and
Chief Clerk Page Call Sen.
ate and House to Order

Washington, Dec. 5.-fR)--Un-
der mandate Of the constitution a
new congress, the SEVENTEEN, as
sembled today on Capitol Hill.
Noon marked the hour for the
bang Of gavels in the senate by
Vice President Dawes and in the
house by William Tyler Page, chief
clerk of that branch of the legis-
lative machine.
Under programs in Use since the
beginning, the senate had to elect
q president pro tenn and swear in
one-third of it's membership, while
the house was called upon to bal
lot for speaker and to administer
the oath Of office to all of its ABS
members.
Procedure in the senate, where
Senator Moses Of New Hampshire
had the endorsement Of administra-
ton leaders for the office of presi-
dent pro tenn, called for less time
than IN the other chamber.
Must Establish Quorum
By direction of the con. tuition
the house, before getting down to
business, faced the necessity of cs-
tablishing a quorum, not only in
number Of members, but also in
state delegations. Only at the OPEN
ing OF a session must the call by
states be taken.
During these opening roll calls
and the subsequent election of a
speaker the clerk Of the house
alone has the right to preside. This
is because the house, unlike the
senate, is not continuing body and

been only reprcscntatives-elect since
they were chose. /. the polls IL
months ago.
Today, after he had ordered a
quorum established, Pages next
task was to supervise the balloting
for speaker, q perfunctory proceed
ure this year. Nicholas Long
worth of Ohio, up for reelection,
had opposition only fro: Finis J.
Garrett of Tennessee democratic
floor leader, whose chance to be-
come speaker disappeared at last
years election when his party failed
to establish majority at the nolls.
To Inform President
With both house and senate or
ganizcd for business, tho procedure
called for the appointment of a
joint committee Of the two houses
and the direction of the committee
to inform President Coolidge ut the
White House that congress had con-
vened.
The instructions Of this ~,mmit-
tee also required that the president
be advised that the congress await
cd his views on the state o. the
union and any information that he
might desire TO bring to tho atten-
;. ton of the legislative body.
For years this committee has
been composed Of the republican
and democratic floor lenders in the
two houses. Pending its report
back to the two hous:. ; custom
made necessary the introduction
and adoption Of resolutions out OF
respect to members who have died
since the last session, and Their

QUEER KINKS
IN LAWS SHOWN
Attorney General Submits Nu.
merous Recommendations
For Speeding Justice

Washington. Dec. 5.@R)-Some
queer kinks in the laws were re-
vealed today in the annual report of
Attorney General Sargent who SUBJ
mitted numerous recommendations
for speeding up justice and reliev-
ing the clogged calendars in federal
courts.
The attorney general pointed out
that while 10 was q federal offense
to assault, beat or wound q United
States officer, it was not q federal
offense to kill him, and the depart
ment Of justice wants this situa-
ton corrected.
Among the recommendations con-
tanned in the report was one that
the law be amended to permit
speedy removal from one district ia
another Of persons indicted for fed
eral crime. Another would auth.
orize the presence Of stenographer
before grand juries and still an.
other would increase the number of
federal judges.
In her report on prohibition en-.
4orcement, Mrs. Mabel Walker Viii
lebrandt, assisting attorney gen
eral. said that approximately siS
million dollars in federal judgments,
fines and penalties were imposed
during the year and there was ~
definite increase in the percentage
Of fines collected"

A New Line.

The burglary profession is broaden.
ing its scope. 1t used to be that
jewels. silks and furs comprised the
main items for robbery purposes, but
the police recovery Of four hundred
and fifty cartons of aspirin from a
total of more than twelve hundred
boxes which were stolen throws q new
light on the expansion of the under.
world endeavors. Ten men are held
by the New York authorities for the
theft.
1t may not be at all seemly to make
light Of robbery of such magnitude,
but the character Of this new line
added to the thieves repertoire can.
not bat invoke conjecture. What, for
instance, would ten men, If that Is
all who were in the band. do with
nearly ten million tablets OF aspirin
Have they been bootlegging on the
side and as a premium furnishing a
few aspirin tablets for the morning
after? Or do they drink their own
stuff and figure that each one of them
will need a million tablets?
Aspirin is undoubtedly an effective
remedy for the non compos mentis
feeling the day after, but the condi.
ton Of the men themselves or their
customers must have been terrible to
demand a supply of ten million tab
let's. OF course, there might be other
ways of disposing of this huge "con-
signment." such as fences and shady
drug stores, but. any way you look
at It, it appears that the risk is too
great and the return too small to steal
aspirin for any other purposes than
Tor dire personal necessity. There
fore. the loss to the thieves in the DO
lice recovery of the loot can be appre-
ciated.
