precious and the calendars are
crowded with important bills. A ma
jority of the Senators and Represen-
tatives do not favor prolonging the
debates or dare remain away from
their home districts during a cam
paign year. Not even the excuse of
staying in Washington on official bus
mess can lesson the danger of de-
feat with an active opponent outlining
the incumbent's present and past
shortcomings to the home folks.
1t is long shot that an impasse
on the tariff as a part of the tax bill
may force extension of the session
until late in June. The argument
favoring this policy is that no real
contests are expected at the Republi-
can National Convention as to candi-
dates. The main fight will revolve
around platforms and specifically the
prohibition issue. Whether legisla-
tors are willing to have alternates
take their places in state delegations
or recess for a few days will depend
on the developments of the next ten
days. The House will probably clean
up major measures before June 5, and
mark time for the Senate. The Sem
