Recall Movement
May Be Launched
Against State Body

Threats to initiate a recall petit
ton against the three members of
the Arizona Corporation CoMnis-
sion were made at a meeting Of the
city council Monday night by per-
sona dissatisfied with the new util-
ity rate schedule handed down few
days ago by the commission.
The threats followed report
made by the Chamber of Commerce
in which the rate schedule was
branded as unfair.
It was declared that the new
schedule would not lower utility
rates here to any appreciate eX-
tent and that any deduction that
might come from the new schedule
would be offlet by drastic re-
duction in taxes for the company
by reduced assessments.
It was stated at the meeting that
the new schedule, while lowering
lighting rates II per cent, increased
the home power rate by as much as
$50 per cent.
Mayor Harry j. Harms declared
that the people of NogaleS were
united against the excessive utility
rates charged by the Public Utilities
Consolidated corporation.
Nose Drachman of Tucson OBJ
serving receiver for the power COM
pany, appeared in behalf OF the
company and urged that the coun-
Gil appoint a committee to meet
with officials Of the company with
the aim in view of meriating the
differences.
The rate dispute has assumed
boycott proportions. TIL city has
curtailed GO per cnt Of it's street
/ lighting schedule, while business
houses have ordered all unnecessary
lights turned out.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 U.P0-
Legislation affecting the pocket
book of the American and the Euro
pean-tax revision and the Hoover
cne-year debt nloratorium-is the
first business of the Democratic
controlled House Of Representatives
which formally began a heavy win
ter OF work today.
President, Hoover is asking speedy
ratification Of the promise he al
ready has made to European nations
to suspend debt payments for a
year, and the administration and
congress ional leaders likewise are
dcsirous of prompt action in the
unsGvory, but neces sary increase of
taxes, so as not to disturb depres-
Ged business unou1y.
Originate In House
F,cth these measures must. origi-
nate in the House, being financial
in character. They also will be link
ed in the storm of debate which
viii swirl around them, fo- opron-
ents of debt reduction argue that
the American taxpayer in the end,
llll-t pay whatever part of foreign
oh 'iigations the United States for
gives. About 100000 flows into
the Treasury yearly in the form CT
foreign debt payments.
President Hoover's immediate pro
posal is only the one-year suspen-
sion Of payments, but congressional
leaders expect to receive sugges-
tions later for a general scaling
down of all World War debts Rs the
result of recent negotiations with
foreign governments.
Bitter debate reminiscent of the
League of Nations controversy in
the lenate is expected to resoul1d
through the House when the NOR
ato-ium proposal is presented ioI

CONGRESS CONVENES AFTER
VACATION TO FIND HOUSES
DIVIDED AGAINST EACH OTHER
Survey Reveals Sentiment Largely Against President
Hoover; Very Little Prospect For
Fundamental Legislation

Republicans enjoyed for years in
the Houce. Rep. Jack Garner, a
white haired, quick-tempered Texan,
landed the Speakership.
Republicans Have Small Margin
The Senate remains Republican
by q small margin. There is no
working majority and the Progress
sive or so-callcd insurgent Republi-
can group from the northwest will
be able to defeat or amend the
party's program unless Senate Dem
ocratr join with Republicans to en-
act legislation.
The most revolutionary thing to
happen to the Senate is the adj
vent of a woman member, Senator
Hattie Caraway, Democrat, Arkan-
sas, and widow Of the man to whose
place she has. succeeded. Mrs. Re-
becca FELTON, sat for few hours
as a Senator one time as gesture
of courtesy from the Governor OF
Georgia. Senator Hattie Caraway
probably will be in the Senate until
March 4, 1933-perhaps longer.
Many of her colleagues are unhap-
py about that and boldly say so,
when they are confident they will
not be quoted.
The biggest job before Congress
is balancing of the national bud
get. The Treasury was short ST.
OOO,O0O,OO0 in the pact fiscal year
and contemplates a $2,000,000, 900
deficit to be added to that this
year. There must be increased tax
es or bond iscue. Congressional
sentiment seems to lean toward taZ-
es inctead Of bonds.
Unemployment
Unemployment, business depres-
sion, and the farmer crowd clocely
upon taxation as major issues. The
Congress ic divided a score Of ways
on these issuec. Almost the first
business of the new Congress mus t
be to pass upon Mr.. Hoover's debt
moratorium. The moratorium seems
assured of approval but only after
loud and angry exchanges of words.
Mr.. Hoover has laid the basis
for legislation to be recommended
in his annual message. This legic-
lation will supplement other efforts
to improve business conditions and
relieve unemployment. The Presi-
dent contemplates asking Congress
to broaden the basis Of Federal Re-
serve Bank credit operations by en-
aiding the Reserve to discount Sc
curities not now available to them.
Legislation is required to make eff
fective Mr.. Hoove,'s proposed real

WASHINGTON, Dec. T (UP0-
Congress came back today after a
nine-month vacation. The two
Houses of Congress are divided a.
gainst each other. Sentiment in
both is largely antagonistic to Prezi-
dent Hoover. The prospect for much
legislation of a fundamental charac-
ter was not bright.
The House is disturbed by trans
fer Of control from the Republican
party TO the Democrats. The mar
gin Of Democratic control is so close
that there is no hope of an eff

Spirited Debates On Taxes
The form of tax increases also
will be the subject OF acrimonious
and spirited debate. Democratic
House leaders withheld formulation
of their program because of the
uncertainty as to whether they
would control the House and thus
be responsible for drafting the le-
gislation.
Before the House can begin to
debate upon the tax bill, however,
the measure must be whipped into
shape by the Ways and Means Com
nittee. Every effort will be exerted
