WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

as Unemployment boss. AS Gotham has
managed to get work relief under way
before the rest of the country. johnson
is quoted as being afraid that we'll
have all the buns in the United States
looking for jobs in the big city"
=
Even though the Guffey coal law
recently passed by Congress is already
under constitutional fire in the courts,
its author, Senator Joseph F. Guffey,
Democrat. Of Pennsylvania. has chalked
up the unusual record Of having spon-
sorsd q major enactment during his
maiden term in Congress. Many men,
bers OF both Senate and House serve
for years without attaining the glory Of
seeing written onto the Federal statute
books a law bearing their names. Sem
ator Guffey is among the small con-
tingent of shrinking violets on Capitol
Hill who confine their photographed
sketches in the Congressional Directory
to the feweSt possible number OF words.
He records simply that he is Demo-
crat, from Pittsburgh, and unmarried.
Guffey is credited with the ambition to
become another Boies Penrose and to
build up a Keystone Democratic organ
ization that will be as mighty and in
vincible as the famous machine con-
structed by the late G. o. P. boss. To
that end, the Guffey-Earle combination
will make herculean efforts to carry
Pennsylvania for Roosevelt in 1886. 1t
actually believes it will do 50.
Speaking for 4,5O0,OO farmers who
Aair he
National Dairy Union vigorously pro-
tests the plans Of the Civilian Conserva-
ton Corps to buy composition -soled
shoes for the boys in camps. The pro-
test points out that the holding Of l.
500 900 hides by the Government seri-
ously depresses the leather market and
that purchase Of composition -soled shoes
for the C.. C. c. will aggravate cattle
owners woes. 1t is therefore urged that
the c. c. c. should contract for exclu-
sively leather -soled footwear, thus aid
ing in utilization Of Government owned
hides. Incidentally it's asserted that
leather soles with cleats or hobnails are
better guarantee against slipping
accidents in wet weather than compost
ton soleS.
Senator Nye's munitions committee
doubtless will arrange to inspect an
early copy of book about to leave the
press, entitled THE Du Pont Dynasty"
The author, John K Winkler, we'll
known financial writer, points out
among other things that the Du Pont
family has received dividends exceeding
$3.50, ,000, 900 from an original investment
of $49, ,OO0, 900 in General Motors. Owning
nearly 40 per cent of its stock, he says.
the Du Points will benefit by about $l5,-
000, 900 a year from the recent increase
Of the corporations dividend rate. The
famous DelawareanS are described as
now controlling q greater slice OF Amer
lean wealth than any other single group
of capitalists.
Believing that the New Deal has be-
queathed to the people Of the United
States an unprecedented amount OF
leisure, especially for reading purposes,
q leading magazine Is about to begin the
publication of q complete book-length
novel in each of its monthly editions
from now on. The editors explain that
readers nowadays have time enough on
their hands to absorb o novel at one
sitting.

UpsWing.

Reports from the commissioner of
internal revenue and the American
Federation of Labor, made public today,
indicate that business is on the upswing.
Indeed, the federation predicts that this
Fall will see the greatest volume of busi
ness since 1880. At last the So-called
"heavy" industries are staging a come
back Commissioner Helvering of the
Internal Revenue Bureau, in a pre-
iininary report to the Secretary of the
Treasury, points out that there has
been an increase of % per cent in the
Government tax collections during the
fiscal year ending June 80, as compared
with the previous year.
The signs of recovery, the American
Federation of Labor maintains, are the
healthiest since the depression set in.
They do not result from Federal spend
ing, but are due to renewed activity in in
ousJry and among the people themselves.
Yet the federation credits the N r. A. and
the A. A. A., the major creations Of the
New Deal, for the underlying improve
ment. 1t was due to these laws and
their operation, the federation says, that
the buying power of the industrial
workers and of the farmers has been
increased. Accompanying this increase
In buying power has been the oppor-
tunity for increased business.
Commissioner Helvering's figures, COW
ering internal revenue collections, in
cluding processing taxes under the A..
A. A., indicate increasing returns from
some new taxes and give the best ac-
count so far of processing tax yields.
The total income from internal revenue
and processing taxes was $3,299 ,435, ,572.l8,
as compared with $2,672, ,239 1882 in the
fiscal year 1884.
One lesson these increased revenues
bring home to the people is the heavier
tax burden, which is going to become
heavier still. Undoubtedly an upturn
in business will mean increased reve-
nues, and such an upturn will mean
much to the Government in putting its
financial house in order. Heavy re-
ceipts from the processing taxes, how
ever, mean that the people are paying
more for their food and for clothing.
These are measures Of indirect taxation,

Shooting Stars.

Back to School.

Back to School.
Back to school the old folks go.
On the bookshelf is a row
Where dear father hopes to find
Much that may improve his mind.
While the happy girls and boys
Turn once more to social joys,
Older folks, with proper grace,
Try to hit the modern pace.
Readings easy as Of yore,
Writing pleases even more;
But arithmetic may be
Filled with meaning hard to see.
While q few initials serve,
Figures long will take their nerve
AS the debts and taxes grow
Back to school the old folks go.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
The Score at the End

It's an easy slope to vagabond road:
Where huns the locust and drones the
tree-toad,
Where the yellowing branches sway
and dip
Like the Tipping lash Of lazy whip,
Where the caroling bird and wayside
Are checkered by shadows In sunsets
glean-
Yet end Of the trail finds the unblest
clod
Who takes it, homeless, face down on
the sod.
Uphill all the way in the towns great
hive
Where faces are grim and the feet alive,
Where the brows are furrowed and
mouths are taut
And the air is ever with tension fraught.
Under the dome Of the far blue sky
It's dogged hot going and battle cry!-
Yet the game as played on the concrete
way
Finds the man who tackles Il blessing
aay.

From the Kansas City Star.
Senator Borah'S attitude favoring pro-
hibiting the sale Of tax-exempt bonds Is
criticized on the ground that 1t would
make 1t dificult for the Government TO
borrow more money. Perhaps that's the
Senator's idea, too.

We've labored hard, and We believe
Refreshments we should now receive.
Exceeding swift the game we've played,
With stakes that frequently dismayed.
Before we start the deal anew,
A breathing spell is surely due,
When we, in comradeship complete,
May smile and sing and maybe eat.
