senate. House and senate will re- convene Monday after q weekend recess begun last night.
 Of the three sections of this ex- traordinary bill, two are merely permissive--farm relief and infia- ton. The other section, for scal- ing down and refinancing farm mortgages, is mandatory. The ex- tent of discretionary authority given President Roosevelt and Sec retary of Agriculture Wallace is almost unlimited in its potential ef- fects.
 Wallace is empowered to give farmers a pre-war return on crops through 6 system of bounties and rents. These would be paid in ex- change for acreage reduction to eliminate surplus production and drive prices upward. Money for the bounties would be raised through taxes levied on proccssors of foods-taxes to be paid in the end by housewives buying groceries at the corner store.
 A $2.000, 100000 Federal Land Bank bond issue is authorized for refinancing of farm mortgages at a reduced scale and on a long-term basis.
 Senator Thomas, dem., okla, sponsor of the imitation section, be- lieves 1t will transfer $200,000,O0O,. 900 of purchasing power from those who have to those who have not. That statement on the sen- ate floor shocked conservative op- ponents of imitation.
 The infation section has tremen- dous international significance. It offers q potential 30 per cent debt reduction on both current and de- faulted installments of war debts by authorizing payment in silver.

ed zones will be rigidiy investigated under the decree, and any found wanting will be expelled. Influx of new population was practically halted by the estabhshmentof two other zones.
 The first of these tages in all other urban and industrial sections including a certain portion of the Agrarian population. Passports will be required for all inhabitants regardless of their class, origin. or political status.
 The other zone includes the re- maining districts-the majority of the villages and great sweeps of farm lands. In this zone no pass ports will be issued. The effect will be to make 1t most difficult for the peasantry to abandon the land to take up industrial pursuits. Any yillager desiring to move must first obtain the permission of village au- thorities.
 The decree did not establish such a complete strip along the eastern frontier for the most desirable pop uIation as 1t did for the western, but the order did include the prin- cipaI towns and districts in the highly restricted zone.
 Expulsions from Moscow, Lcnin- grad, Kharkov and several other large cities were already under way. The passport system was ap- piled to these localities several months ago.
 soviet oficials were confident that the. plan could be carried to successful conclusion and were unperturbed by the fact that 1t meant the uprooting of great sec- tions of population from native en- vironment to virtual exile in other sections.
 They explained that the Soviet Union considered itself engaged in a bitter class war which justified any practical measure that would lead to victory. Persons who obtain passports in areas where passports will be fs- s,ied automatically will not be per- mitted to settle in the highly re- stricted zones, which, in addition to the cities already named. will in- cIude Kiev, Odessa.

of the bill was quite large. How ever, 1t now appears that many doctors and public officials, such as social service workers, were not aware of the fact that the hearing was taking place.
 Therefore. Senator Hackett re- ceived urgent requests during the past wek for anothr hearing so that the measure might be de- bated more thoroughly. tI is also understood that there will be con- -siderable opposition voiced when the hearing occurs, With the time for adjourning the 1893 ses- sion only a little over a month away. the legislature will have this bill, as well as several other important measures to. get out of the way very quickly. Among the other bills now pending are those calling for old age pensions. un- employment insurance, repeal or the compulsory vaccination law, jury service for women and so fort h

 If the legislature passes the bill and the local democratic adminls- tration led by Mayor Frank Hayes is strongly advocating 1t, a serious battle will undoubtedly develop in the republican ranks for the choice between Attorney Summa and At- torney Meyers for the position.
