Ieft.Overs on Card.

No one doubts that the extra session
will continue for good many weeks.
There is much to be done. A consid-
cradle portion of the work to be faced
results directly from Democratic party
pledges upon which victory was won.
But, important as those are, the things
that will be left over from the present
do-nothing session of congress prob
ably are equally, if not more, impor-
tant.
That is to say the Democrats have
added to their burden by being unable
or unwilling to formulate and pass a
definite program of legislation in the
current session. Take the question of
the treasury's finances, for example.
Majority Leader Rainey, of the Dem
ocratic-controIled house, has aban-
doned any attempt to balance the bud
get, or even take steps to do so, in the
short session. Taxes and government
economies are all tied up in a neat
bundle in that one question. 1t will
not be easily solved.
Of course, it must be stated that
any program which the house puts
through under present conditions will
be torn to tatters in the senate, where
an even division of membership makes
direct action impossible. That is one
of the reasons cited, or suggested by
Speaker Garner and Mr.. Rainey for
dropping a financial program until
everything is under the control of the
Democrats. Yet such a course obvi-
ously adds to the load of the extra
session and there are many observers
who feel also that it increases the pos
sibility of Democratic factional fights.
The rows which the Democrats will
have to settle will not arise in all leg
islation. The tremendous majority
will make for reasonably smooth sail
ing for instance on such things as pro-
hibition repeal and lesser legislation.
But when money questions are up,
questions of taking more taxes from a
tax-ridden electorate, the varieties of
views will number at least half as
great as the number of representa-
tives and senators.
Mr.. Roosevelt campaigned on prom
ises of economy. He proposed to the
voters TO do away with truckload or
so of government functions. Most of
the Democrats in congress made the
same sort of arguments. Now, how
ever. it seems as though some of them
had their tongues in the cheeks.
Economies are necessary. judging from
the argument one hears in both house
and senate, but make it apply to the
other fellow, first.

Male Majority in
Population of u. S.

There are many millions of per-
sons on earth who are unknown to
the census taker, and so there are
no reliable figures of worldwide
scope concerning the division of pop
ulation between the two sexes In
most of the countries for which there
are figures, however, females have
slight majority. The greater occu-
pational hazards the males face. in
war, industry and commerce. are
chiefly responsible for this condition.
because among almost all races there
are more males born than females.
The United States is one country
that maintains male majority in
its total population. In 1880 there
were 62,137,0S0 males and 60.637,-
965 females. Germany, on the other
hand, at its 1925 census had 32.213,-
796 females and 30.196,S23 males.

Twelve Years Experience With the Problem Across

 Administration of tho sales tax in Canada has boon greatly sImpli- fled. Thoro arc about 1S,000 lleenB- cd manufacturers, md the govern mont employees e hundred auditors to inspect their books. Tho cost of collecting n dollar is estimated at not moro than fivo cents. (fn tho United states thero nro 210,000 manufacturers doing Q business Of moro than $5,000 R year each. The difference in numbers indicates how much larger tho job would Do in this country)
