BY BEN STERN

0THER states besides Indiana
~ have their congressional reap
portionment worries. study Of the
national situation reveals.
OF the thirty-two states required
by law to redistrict but thirteen
have complied.
This presents the problem Of the
legality Of electing congressmen-at~
large, debated in Indiana before and
during the last session Of the gen.
eral assembly.
More than 200 congressman will
be elected at large if it IS declared
legal.
New York's legislature undertook
to create new congressional districts
by a resolution, instead Of by a bill
and so not require the Governors
signature. as Governor Roosevelt
was opposed TO the divisions pro-
posed by the legislature. Suit has
been filed Questioning legality Of
such a redistrict;ng resolution.
A Democratic legislature in Mis-
souri, passed its redistricting bill and
a. Republican Governor vetoed it.
Unless special session Of the leg
iSlature is called, the state delega-
ton Of thirteen congressman either
will be elected at large or not at all.
=
CALIFORNIA; reapportionment bill
gave most of it's nine new members
to the southern part of the state
and was approved by the Cover
nor. Plans are being made for a
referendum.
In Pennsylvania, where the leg
islature still is in session, the SEN
ate passed one reapportionment
act and the house Of representa-
tiveS another.

 of such action, but that the safe- guards against European entangle-

 had been in effect secured and the
 interests of the United States pro- tected.
 need not repeat that for over twelve years every president and every secretary of state has urged this action as material contri-
 button to the Pacific settlement of controversies among nations and a further assurance against war. By consideration of legislation during its last session, the congress informed itself thoroughly regard ing the merits of the copyright convention signed at Berlin on No-

 "The convention for the super vision of the international trade in arms and ammunition and in im- pieinents of. war, signed at Geneva, June IF, 1925, represents another of the steps taken in the general field of restriction of armament. It has been ratified unconditional ly by some nations, conditionally by others. With the added impetus which ratification by the United States would lend to such move, it is quite possible that the four teen notifications necessary by treaty stipulation would be re- ceived to bring the convention into force.
 Among the other treaties and COuV0uIlOHS WHlCn Tcudln USAOIS the senate for it's consideration and of no less importance in their respective fields are a treaty re- garding consular agents of Amer ican states Sixth international conference of American states, Havana, 1928); a treaty relating to maritime neutrality with Amer ican states (sixth international conference of American states, 1928); the general treaty of inter- American arbitration, signed at Washington January g., 1929: the convention relating to prisoners of war, signed at Geneva on July 27, 1929; a convention signed on the same date for the amelioration of the condition of wounded and sick of armies in the field (the Ked Cross convention) and the convention for the unification of certain rules relating to bills of lading for the carriage of goods by sea, signed at Brussels on behalf of the United States on June 23. 1Q25

the house, they look for scatter ing support from border-line re- publicans in both house and sen- ate.
 Party leaders in the house are stoutly opposed to any increase in normal rates and to any reduction of exemptions as proposed by Mel lon. Mellon would compel a sim gle man earning $20 week, and a married man earning $48, to pay a tax, and would at the same time increase the rate.
 Democratic leaders also oppose the selective sales tax asked by Mellon upon automobiles, radios, theater admission, bank checks. etc. Some of them, particularly Floor Leader Rainey, look upon this as a plan to tighten the rich mans burden, and to pave the way eventually for a general sales tax. These leaders feel the necessary revenue could be obtained without hardship to anyone by increasing surtax rates beyond the point pro- posed by Mellon, by increasing in- heritance taxes, and by a gift tax.
 If these sources should not pro- duce enough money. they may sanction a limited luxury tax.
 Another point they are expected to raise is that public debt retire. ment should be slowed down. Many do not agree with the thesis that the present generation should pay for the World war, and argue that in time of serious depression the country should forego or re- duce sinking fund payments.
 Over in the senate, however. the portly figure of Democratic Floor Leader Robinson may stand in the way of such program. Robinson, conservative and still presi- dential candidate, served notice very early that democrats must not 'soak the rich"
 While house leaders to-day turned their thoughts to tax re- vision and the membership in gen. eral indulged in a second field day of oratory over the presidents message, the senate turned to the one-year foreign debt moratorium.
 Senator Johnson, repn. Cal, an opponent of ratification, precivitat- ed discussion by offering a resolu- ton to investigate international banking operations. This will be taken up to-day.
 When not doing anything else the senate expects to continue bal loting for a president pro tempore. For seven ballots the men desig- mated by Senator Moses, repn, N. H., as "sons of the wild jackass'' have prevented his reelection. The senate is getting tired of the deadlock. and may split sufficient ly to elect his chief opponent, Key Pittman, dem.
