They will handle rivalries for the conspicuous posts, such as the floor leadership, chair manships of committees, and mem berships of the all powerful ways and means committee, as. those things have been taken care of 72 times in the history of our govern ment. Inevitably there will be some disappointments, as there always are regardless of the political com plexion of the house, where ambi- tfons of important members clash, as they must.
 There will be no inconsiderable relief in the circumstance that in the last congress the democrats were in such @ deep minority that not infrequently the same member of that minority was the ranking member on two or three different committees. Obviously a member so situated must choose which committee will head, leaving the others for distribution very largely to the northerners, who comprise the greater part of the new arr rivals in congress.

Washington.-Ever spokesman of the Hoover administration now adays is shaking his head with grave concern over the problems
 that confront the democratic ma
 jority in the house of representa- tives. They see Jack Garner of
 Texas, vainly attempting to keep in the traces democrats of all sorts or
 varying opinion on the tariff, on farm relief, on soldiers pensions,
 and every other question that will arise in the south chamber of the national legislature. Moreover, they are appalled, at the internecine strife which VIII rend the democratic delegation when 1t comes to the house organ ization with it's distribution of com mittee chairmanships among the southern democrats who are en- titled to them by the rule of pre- cedence and the northern demo- crats who will contend for a share of congressional lionors. ssr z | Anybody who needs the woeful predictions of the g. o. p. com mentators must wonder why, II the control of the house of repre- sentatiyes is such perilous under taking, the republicans strove so
 hard to retain it and the manifold ills they recite so glibly. Curiously
 enough, the democrats who are about to shoulder the burden show no sign of awe or dismay at the task. ,
 They point out that even with a worse division in the republican ranks than could possibly afflict the democratic column, that effi-
 cient triumvirate--the late Speaker
 Nicholas Longworth and the two gentlemen most conspicuous in the
 struggle to succeed him as the re- publicans, leader in the body, Messrs John Q. Tiison of Connecti- cut and Bertram Shell of New York-managed to keep an un-
 breakable grip and direct the house of representatives according to their own satisfaction and that Of

house after fourteen years at the second table are none the less politicians with as much experience as the republicans. They know that the preesnt session of congress is merely a curtain-raiser to the election next year and that, if they are to win that election. and there by continue to be congressme1. they cannot afford to mess things up with a big row over preferment, in which the rest of the country has little interest.
 Similarly, they know or will be taught before the congress has gone very far, that there Is no poli- tical nutriment in wrangling over policies and programs, which, to become effective, must run the gauntlet Of a republican senate and the veto power of republican president. Every party has, of course, some turbulent members but concern for their own political fortunes tends to cool even these independent spirits.
 In short, the prospects of the new democratic majority are. by and large, just as favorable as that of any majority which has come into power under the same circumstances. There is no incen- tive to discipline comparable to the imminence. of a national election. The democrats realize that they have congress only by a very few votes. Their aim is bound to be to function in such g manner as tot bring their majority to an effective total in the elections next Novem- Der. Any thought that they are go- ing to tie themselves into such tangles as are hopefully predicted by the republicans must assume that they are innocent babes in- stead of graduates of the hard school of partisan politics.

KANSAS IS GOING
 TO RAISE CAIN
 AND NOT WHEAT
And What the Kansans Do Raise Will Not Be to Ad- vantage of Hoover Re- giHle
BY RAYMOND CHAPTER

Copyright, 1881, by United Press) Kansas City, Mo, Nov 24.-(UP) All signs indicate Kansas is preparing to raise less wheat and more cain next year. Wheat acreage is down about |16 per cent which is just what the administration at Washintgon has been urging. The cain raising will be strictly political. and won't be nearly so much to the adminis- tration's liking.
 Political prophets in this section and @ prophet in Kansas usually knows a tornado when he sees one coming-say Kansas Is about to go on rampage again. They see only one possibility of its being headed off. That would come through a real upward shoot in farm prices.
 Kansas already hasa democratic governor. A year ago 1t elected democratic senator. That hadn't happened since the Roosevelt pro- gressive movement split Kansas republicans apart. Now some po- litical seers say that even Vice. President Curtis would have a hard time being elected senator.
 This situation, whether as bad as represented or not, is credited with causing the delay in an- nouncement by Curtis of his po- litical plans. :.
 J. R. Brinkley. the radio glapd doctor, was almost elected gover- nor last year when voters had 10 write his name in on the ballots. If all who wanted to vote for him had been able to spell his name correctly, many believe he would have won. Republicans fear he will disrupt their plans more ef- fectively this year.
 Kansas always has taken its troubles seriously. It apparently IS doing go now. The federal farm board is as popular as grass hopper plague. Kansas is ready to support almost any other plan, the equalization fee, the debenture or anything else that might help. The east was cheered by the rise in the price of wheat. But tho Kansas farmers are far from satis- fled. The rise was sensational. averaging about 25 cents bushel. But half of that gain has been lost. And tho sag continues.
 Summarizing the general opinion here, eastern business has reason to feel hopeful over a return of buying power in the wheat belt but it should not expect to see this de. veiop overnight. The most cheerful element is that everyone feels the worst is over.

 across the way.
 Some of Russia's greatest mod ern artists have collaborated on the graphic exhibits in the huge auditorium devoted to Russia's progress on the Five-Year Plan. Each exhibit uses it's own material: a cross-section of a coal bed shows new and safe methods of mining in the Don-Bas region, with the pres- ent progress illustrated by small and large buckets of coal showing the rate of increased production set for tn next two years. The Dneiprostroi Dam (the Muscle Shoals of Russia) is here in minia- ture, showing nine fioodgates and the factories going up in the vicin- ity.

There is much laughing and shouting l Ballroom dancing is considered bourgeois in Russia and frowned upon.
 In the center of this great sports J park community singing drew us one night. On platform against a canvas back man played the piano and a robust tawny-haired Komsomol (young communist) girl of about 20 stood directing the singing. She waved her brown hands with the force and assur- ance of an orchestra leader wield. ing baton. Two young girls held tup a scroll that showed the words to this new revolutionary song The girl leader sang and called on the crowd to follow her.
