CAPITOL
SLANTS
BY John Nj. Zwach

Sure to again break all party
alignment and develop heated dis
cussion is the measure to reduce
contract interest rates from eight
to six per cent. This bill already
has an interesting history and is
drawing much attention through
out the state.
1t was first referred to the pub
lie welfare committee, but when
the group recommended it to pass,
bankers and conservatives rose
and shouted that the proper place
for consideration of this measure
was in the banking committee. 1t
then was referred to that group.
When, a few days later, the bill
was returned with recommends
ton that it be indefinitely post
poned-which is equivalent to
killing the bill-proponents of the
lower rate rose in arms and a
heated oratorical onslaught en-
sued. When the final vote was
counted the committee recon-
mendation had been turned down
62 to SO.
Conclusion Expected
This week, therefore, will mark
the finish of this battle. 1t ap-
pears likely at this time that
compromise of seven per cent will
be the final outcome. No one ques-
tons the fact that the banking
business has been difficult and dis
couraging during the past several
years.
But, it is opined quite fire.
quently here, it also remains that
along with high taxes, excessive
interest rates have been the great
est drawback to recovery of agri-
culture and other industry. Know
ing that banks have reduced inter-
est rates on deposits correspond
ingly, a compromise seven per
cent program sounds quite reason
able to many opponents and pro-
ponents of the eight per, cent bill.
Olson's Tax Program
By and large and in as far as
it goes, Governor Floyd B. Olson's
tax proposals have considerable
merit. Income and inheritance
taxes can stand very substantial
boasts especially in the higher
brackets of income. If those cry
ing that higher rates on these
items would destroy initiative and
be generally detrimental, would
take the time to compare our in
come inheritance taxes with those

City Liquor Store
Location Undecided

The city council was still unde-
cided Wednesday as to a location
for the municipal liquor store. 1t
was expected that the Frank Par

the site for the dispensary after

lopments this week again left the
matter unsettled.
A third possible location had
entered into the situation. The
council is expected to take definite
action this morning.

 The market, thanks to the gigan- tic volume in General Electric was slightly more active than yester- day. General Electric came out in blocks of 1000 to $500 shares. Up to 2 ?. m. the main list had sales of 4SO,000 shares, and of that amount Electric had 64,000. The issue reached "A 3-8 up full point with the transactions accompanied by a series of rumors, the out standing being that the company had developed transformer that would greatly cheapen output of electricity by utility units. Wes" tinghouse also was firm and ac- tice.
 The main list opened irregularly lower, eased further and then came back to yesterdays low level where 1t straightenned out for time. Toward the close mild recovery was in progress. The market, however, was still irregular with a few s pecial issues higher. Among the latter were the fertilizer shares.
 American Agricultural Chemical rose more than 9 points to new high for 1934-35 and held more than half the gain. Virginal Caro- line Chemical per cent preferred rose more than points.
 National Bellas Hess whose pre- ferred is to be delisted tomorrow broke to a new low at 2 7-S off 3 1-4 and then recovered more than 8 point of the decline.
 Steel shares met moderate reali- zing and lost ground. Steel statis- tics were still highly favorable and further operating gains were looked for. U. S. Steel preferred was bid up to 94 up 2 points net.

Judge AdDises
 Young Lawyers

"You will find those who c0mmlserate with you on the state of business in general and that of law in particular" said Judge Newell Jennings to thirty one. candidates who were admitted to the State Bar yesterday in Superior Court fin Hartford, including two local boys, James ID. Sla. win and Joseph F. Alisha usky.
 "It is true that lawyers" continued the court, Gas well as others are going through a difficult time. Yet that very fact should stimulate you to greater efforts. You are not entering the arena under or- dlnary conditions. This country as we'll as the whole world, Is in a fermcnt of change and strife. The cases before the Supreme Court have never been more important. The question whether our COnsti- tuition can adapt itself to pres- est day conditions Is the issue now at hand. The question will be answered within the next few years. That answer will depend fin par on what attitude you and I take toward 1t. Our part may he great or small but we owe 1t to ourselves and our country to inform ourselves on public questions of this char. actcr and to support our con- victiOns at least at the abllOt box and elsewhere as opp0r. tunity may be found." .. ..i.

CONGRESS LOOKS
 LIKE GATHERING OF BUSINESS MEN
Old GlanlOr in Dress Is Missing-All Ouhand-
 iSh Dress Is Gone <
BY HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Stan Correspondent)

Washington, Jan. 23 - (UP) - Gone is the glamor of congression- al dress that once made American statesmen a joy to collectors of sartorial curiosities.
 Not even election of the 74th cong ress, reputedly containing more wild men" than any other recent congress, has made a notice- able increase in picturesqueness
 Veteran observers on Capitol Hill contend that congresst re- sembles in dress 8 dignified con- vention of local businessmen in any medium size American city. Only a dwindling handful remain to uphold past traditions of out landish waistcoasts, vari-colored neckwear and tragedian's hats. .,
 In the senate virtually all mem- bers are well and conservatively dressed. Sen. J. Hamilton Lewis, d., H., usually is characterized as the leader of senatorial style. He wears somewhat daring color ensemb bles, fancy weskits of cream or puff, colored pocket kerchiefs and spats to match.
 Sen. Theodore Bilbo, self -des- cribed "wild man" from Mississippi, is just another pea in the pod so far as the senate goes. His only originality is a diamond horseshoe stick-pin.
 Some concessions to the old days are made by Sen. Nathan Bachman d., Tenn. He appears vestless, wearing 8 black bowtie tucked un- der a turn-down linen collar.
 Sen. Royal Copeland, d., N. Y., is contender for the title of best dressed senator. He never appears without red carnation.
 The house lost is strongest link with the past when Rep. Edgar Howard of Nebraska failed to be reelected. One-time secretary to William Jennings Bryan, Howard copied Brayan's dress so perfectly that he often was mistaken for a reincarnation of the great c m : moner. He is still to be seen about the corridors of the capitol muffled in a long black opera cape, rakish black hat, black Windsor tie, long black tailcoat and flowing white hair.
 Rep. P. (for Percy and he is proud of 1D l.. Gassaway, d., Okla. is about the only congress oaohdA AACchhdA WIO ndo WOIl dIly senatorial notice. He is an ex-cow- boy and wears high-heeled shoes, black ten-gallon hat and small bowtie tied in knot instead Of a bow.
 ' Rep. Otha D. Wearin. d.. Ia., is noted for one feature of his dress. He wears flaming red tie always.
 Rep. Bertrand Shell, house mi nority leader, dons 8 morning coat on least Drovocation.
 But for the bulk of the represen- tatives-they dress just as they did before they came to congress when they were lawyers, bushes men and bankers.

FARMERS MAY BE
 ACCORDED LOANS

Washington, January 23 (UP) = President Ro0sevelt's hope that congress would not appropriate more money for seed and harvest ing loans this year has been voted 6 $100,000,000 disappointment by the senate.
 MT Roosevelt expressed his hope last year in signing the appropri- ation bill for 1894 loans. Drought conditions are advanced now as the reason for extending the loan sys- tenn for another year. The fund is to provide credit for farmers who have no collateral and who cannot borrow from any source except the treasury.
 If the money is disbursed it will bring to almost $3,000, 1000. the outstanding loans and discounts Of the farm credit administration in behalf of farmers.
