PROBABLY ANOTHER VETO

The Congress once again seems intent upon passing d modified" yet "etfectlvc' NcSary- Haugen bill The farm relief measure elbowing it's way through the halls of law making is said to be slightly differ ent from it's predecessor, but not enough to arouse the ind ignat.on of the farmers. II still contains the much debated "squalization fcc'- which President Coolidge looks upon as too much government in business.
 C. Rascom slemp has written a book. "The Mind of the Prcs3lont," in which it is stated that President Coolidge "has never changed hts position on fundamental issue" When inquiries are made at the White House as to what the presi- dent will do with the new McNary- I9ugcn bill when 1t passes tho in- quircrs are referred to this passage bE tile rrr@idont's 5 srohr Gnen.

TWO IMPORTANT BILLS

Old staeers n Washington thought winter had returned in more ways than one. not only did they get . breath of the modified cold wave which has swept the Atlantic sea board, but they also had 10 catch tNe!r breath, as if they suddenly tad been taking d rilc in Il para chute.
 Thr Senate. where unlimited de- bate rta supreme and where no- body ',,r rorgets this rrec'aos priNi- l.sa exists, they passed Mississippi fla'j control mr@smr, e'1jailins an eytrvlHarn of $225 ooo.ooo. after or's OF" hour of cour;loratioo.
 Trs -he Senate answered the vii! lrsal crit 'c.sm that it gan do notbjnr but talk politics. nor pass an appropriation without matching every dollar involved with at least one word of so-calIed oratory.
 Remarkable indeed Was this ac- ton, which cams after a committee of the Sonatn had argued about tho 5i'l for weeks before reporting r 10 the entire body for consideration. IT the boys can pass such a gigantic

If the Germans reach their goal-thrce men depending upon one engine against admitted harsh weather condltions-they will have made one of the most notable contributions to aviation history. Possibly they have q better chance than we think like ly: possibly the Junker planes are higher grade article than We sur mise. But q great deal will depend upon the breaks Of the weather en route. Even the best of ayiators arc free to admit that though motors and planes have been developed 10 a remarkable degree of perfection dur ing the last 5 years Of experiment tation, much in every overseas flight still depends upon the weather. and the only way to circumvent this dis advantage is to possess accurate weather 1oreca asts--which not always turn out 100 per cent accurate.

proposal in such short time there indeed Is hope that the record of legislation vt this session may amount to more than political pom- posity. such as characterized the mud-hooks flung by Senators Rob- inson Of Indiana and Nye at Gov arnor smith.
 Equally important ] bill passed the House military affairs commit tee, when it made q favorable re- port on the compromise measure for q government corporation to operate the plants at Muscle Shoals. Here was q bill directly running current 10 the prevailing notion of the ad- ministration leaders. who prefer to sec the giant power works leased to private concern. The temper of the committee was well illustrated ny the Note--17 to i. IL can be said candidly that Congress does not care for the power companies and their propaganda,
 Just two weeks ago the Senate had adopted bill providing for similar disposition of Muscle shoals ot which time party lines were thor oughiy shattered President Cool ilge disapproved the bill, ia, bring one sponsored by Representative Madden, the man who some years ago sponsored the bill 10 hand over tho vast property 0 private interests at six cents on the dollar.
 It looks very much as If the Muscle Shoals matter will be dis posed of, so far as Congress is con- cerned. without further delay. Then will come the question of presiden- 'tial signature of the bill. If the bill passes he HoIse with the same ra- tjo of proponents as voted for it in tho Scnata-4s to 25-it will make little difference what the President docs about 1t, as a tWo-thirds ma jorlty will have been secured for government operation, and the bill can be made jaw over any possible

 If was not surprising 10 us, there fore, to read in the columns of this journal that the crossovcr repairs to be made this year would be the most elaborate ever attempted, and that steel plate will figure in the work.
 That much done, future repairs at least should not be necessary more than every two years.

END or CONTROVERSY
 WITH MEXICO

WITH MEXICO
 While the controversy with Mexico was al it's height last year President Coolidge, in one of his m essages 10 Congress. state in exact Nermontese that Tn some quarters our diploma cy is Neyed with difficult and as yet unsolvei prohlems,' and that
 we recognize a responsibility
 to protect and defend the intcrna-
 tional rights ot our government and
 our citizens"
 That was pretty fair notice to Mexico that something had 10 h. done about the oll controversy. which jt suited Washington diploIn acF to conclude infringed upon certain inalienable rights of foreign investors,
 EHt how much credit goes 10 any, one in Washington for the fruitful termination oi the noted contro- yersy, except for the astonishing pcrspicaci'y shown in naming Dwight W. Morrow as ambassador to Mexico? The appointment for which the President and the Senate are to be thanked. was the first stop in solving the peppery controversy.
 Mir Morrow, in the strict sense of the word, was not 8 diplomat. He had devoted the better part of his life as q stellar light in Wall street. and came from the house of Nor- gan. Yet from the moment of his entry into Mexico the atmosphere began 10 brighten; he enjoyed the confidence Of everyone, and the Callos government has shown as keen desire to utilize his gifts in sta.oiiizing the finances Of Mexico as it has in hearhoning 10 his snggcs- tSttls9 U sIt Itil tIlt iltt!i4il'i i'll '" 1T the oi controversy should be settled
 Before Mr. Morrow's entry into Mexico as ambassador one of our most able diplomats was on the scone-J1mes R. Sheffield. While Mr Sheffield haranguc1 the .rcHi- can government in Mexico City our secretary of state, Fran; F, Kellogg. issued nervous pronunciar ntos in Washington. Between the two of them some Of the more fiery spirits in the nation scented the probability Of war with Mexico to save tho oil wells from being confiscatcd.
 What T change there was after Mir. Morrow arrived on the scene, Secretary Kellogg himself ceased to illuminate ahout inc wicked Mc,;ican government; possibly word from higher up sct him to rights. and that the policy hcncaforth would be, 'leaFe it to Hofrou.' And that was the beginning of better relations be tween the two governments.
 In spite of his connections with the house of Morgan Mir. Morrow held more flexibIa views regarding the Mexican ail situation than his prcdee esaor, Mir. Sheffield. or Mir. Kellogg Tbe issue WAS not weather Mexico has the right to coHfiscate American property, but whether the Mexican staiutcs and regulations were confisra.ory. Not only did Mir. Morrow succeed in casing up diff Cult situation nt the outset of his tenure of offlr", but the Mexican Suprfluo Court Inst November aided th" cause of mutual understanding by declaring rconstitutional tb" scclI0As of in" h" against which American oil companies protested Eron MT. Sheffirld could have done better with such d decision to rely upon; in the case of Mr. Morrow il meant an early disposition of the entire II, American confro- vsrsy without further serious discus sIon.

ETIQUETTE FOR FIRES

We take pleasure in giving a Few pointers which we are sure are not included in the various and interest ing rules on Fire Protection, and also how to call the Fire Depart ment-
 Before sending for the Fire De- partmnnt it is advisable to mako quite sure that you have q fire in your house to offer them.
 But do not adopt the old plan N waiting until the fire reaches tn" second floor This is rather apt 10 discolor the wallpaper.
 Above all the owner or tenant who intends to have fire in his house must keep calm.
 As soon as the maid rushes into the room to say that the kitchen is on fire, place the book you are read ing on the table. remove your slip pers and put on a r"!r of heavy boots and 9 Hart Schaffner and Marx Scotch tweed coat.
 Your next duty is to call the Fire Department, and not to meddle with the fire yourself. for very often an amateur completely spells a fire be- tore the Fire Department arrives.
 
 When you see the fire engine daehing alo"g tho street don't stop it and offer to show the driver a short cut.
 And when they start to work do not worry the fircmen !, by telling them how to do 1t better
 After aIl while it may be your house, it is their fire!
