him was too much for a few bosses
to counteract.
However, Mr.. Coolidge failed to
use this advantage as a weapon
against the bosses when they threw
sand in his administrations bear
ings later on. There are indica-
lions that Mr.. Hoover means to do
SO.
He can do it most conveniently
through the house Of ~n~~nranta-
tives.
Representatives 4 y mae
pendent as senators. 10 q senator,
newly chosen for a six-year term,
his next election day looks a long
distance off. A mere two-year rep
resentative always can see electoral
breakers ahead. He is not SO ready
to defy an administration and a
good deal reader to appreciate its
help.
Many are the things an adminiS-
tration can do to make a repre-
sentative solid in his district.
For instance, it can act on his
advice in the matter of appoint
ments, and enable him to build up
a strong machine-useful to him
and the administration, too. To be
sure, theoretically. the senate can
reject these appointments, but in
actual practice it can reject one
only in a long time, or it stirs up
a worse row than the senators
| themselves can afford.
1t Is a new idea-a combination
between the administration and the
house of representatives against the
senate, all inside the same party;
and it may give the senator's more
to worry about than ever they have
had to haraSs them under Tho
Coolidge regime.
The thought is an unsetting one
to the senators who linger in Wash
ington, awaiting the extra session.
They hardly know whether to
fight or compromise.

M. P. Lines Prepare
Picture Folder Of
Scenery In Valley

E. H. McReynolds, official of the
Missouri Pacific Lines writes from
ST. Louis that he has prepared a
folder on the Valley at the insist
ence of hundreds of tourists seek
ing information on scenery and eli
mate to be found here. He asks
the chamber of commerce to okeh
the folder, eliminating what they
find to be incorrect and adding what
the folder lacks to give a complete
picture Of the Valley.
McReynolds says the folder will
be issued in great quantities to all
offices of the company. He adds
that widespread calls for the Valley
booklet are being received, the de-
mand exceeding any heretofore ex-
perienced by tn company for any
particular section Of the country.

PRESIDENT MAY CULTIVATE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Ia ataN
BY CHARLES p. STEWART

Dy SI1fAINLLO Il IL w AMI
WASHINGTON, March 19.-Sen-
ators are g%reen-eyed with jealousy
at the hint that President Hoover's
relations with the representatives
chamber may be closer than with
the upper house of congress.
Most presidents have regarded
the senators as the legislators whom
it best paid them to cultivate.
There are sound reasons for this
view.
2 The senate can make life harder
for the president than the house Of
representatives can.
Presidential appointments are not
valid until the senate says so.
Treaties made by The president re-
quire the senate's o. k. The White
House has to ask no such favors
Of the representatives.
That President Hoover considers
the representatives friendship
worth more to him than the sem
ators' is by no means explicitly an
nounced and it never will be.
Nevertheless, the impression pre-
walls on Capitol Hill that that is
the way Mr.. Hoover feels about It.
Maybe he has learned something
from Mr.. Coolidge's experience.
His own party leaders never
wanted Mr.. Coolidge for president
Mr.. Hoover also was far from be-
inc their choice.
The party's biggest leaders are
mainly in the senate. Mr.. Cool
idge could have placated them by
giving them their own way. but he
never did, and they fought him
covertly to the end. They were
still turning down his appointments
during his last week in office.
Mr.. Hoover probably foresee;
trouble similar to Mr.. Coolidge's
but perhaps he is planning to COM
bat it more vigorously.

the story goes, worked on the idea
for many years, threatening to do
away with the regular milk bot
ties because at n time his SUM

meowing cats in the yard.
Tt appears that Mr.. Reilly once
had the toothache for a week. Va
rious pain reliefs failed him, and
just when he fell into unconscious
ness from sheer exhaustion some
n would arouse him by crashing
a milk bottle to shoe the cats. 1t
was then that he determined some
day there would be nothing but
paper milk bottles. He was a poor
man when he started working on
the plan and today he is rich.
He is plotting another revela-
ton, and the company he heads is
taking little chance of losing his
valuable cooperation, having in
sured him a week ago for a paltry
100000.

BILL BEING DRAFTED TO R~EORGANIZE
FEDERAL DEPARTMENTS
BY WILLIAM WILLIAMSON, Jr.
Congressman From South Dakota.

0y AAAA1aA V4AI4laN1OON, i
Congressman From South Dakota.
civilian Williamson, Jr, was born in Mahas-
ka county, Iowa, October 7, 1875. He is a gradu-
ate of South Dakota. With his brother he found
ed two weekly newspapers In 1908 and 1904 and
a hardware company in 1906. From 1905 to 1911
he was states attorney in South Dakota, then
circuit judge of the Eleventh judicial district
until 1921. He was a delegate to the republican
national convention in 1912. He has been a mem
Der Of congress from the Third South Dakota
district since 1920.
The first step in the proposed reorganization of
the departments and bureaus of the federal govern
ment may be taken at the extra session of the Sew
e~nty-firSt congress, to be convened April Is.
I expect to spend my entire time on reorganiza-
ton problems, and if there is to be an early %reorgani-
cation of the executive departments it will be neces-
sary to set up the committee for functioning during
the coming extra session. The committee has par
ticularly in mind for the extra session the bill to con-
solidate the activities relating to veterans under one
jurisdiction, including the veterans bureau, the bu-
reau of pensions and the branch national homes for
disabled volunteer soldiers.
1 personally think that the prohibition service
ought to be transferred to the department of justice.
The department Of justice is charged with the en-
forcement Of law and I do not think-speaking for
myself alone and not for the committee-that prohi-
bition enforcement should be treated any different
than any other enforcement of law.
II there is to be early reorganization of the execu-
tive departments Of the governmnt, it will be neces-
sary to organize this committee in the committee
Set-up of the extra session. I am expecting to have
a bill regarding the consolidation of the veterans &C
tivities ready for consideration at the extra session.
My present plan is to consolidate all these activities
in the veterans bureau.
Other matters, to be taken up at the regular ses-
sion Of congress next December will be the further
consideration Of the ACCESSIBILITY Of consolidating the
engineering activities Of the executive branch of the
government.
