'ow program, consisting Of three major

row program, consisting of three majol
items:
l.. The annual appropriation bills.
2. The soldiers bonus bill.
8. The neutrality bill to take the
place of the present neutrality act
which expires February 20.
Outside of the appropriation bills
this is not in any sense White House
program. The President has, in the
past, turned his face steadily against
the immediate cash payment of the
soldiers bonus. His veto Of the Pat
man "greenback" bonus bill at the
last session of Congress was sustained
by the Senate. The present neutrality
act, mandatory on the Chief Executive
in certain features, was not to his en-.
tire liking. And there are prospects
of a sharp fight over the new neu-
trality legislation. The President seeks
discretionary" powers, while many
members of the Congress, including
Senator Gerald P. Nye of North Da-
kota, father of the present act, de-
mand mandatory legislation which
would put the clamps on American
trade with belligerents, and loans ant
credits.
Tax "Breather" Promised.
The President has promised business
breathing SPELL" He has said that
while he believes a revision" Of the
tax structure Is needed, it should not
be complicated with politics and a ma
tional election. Therefore, he Is not
proposing tax legislation for the COM
ing session. He is asking for studies
Of the tax question by congressional
committees, aided by departmental Of
ficials.
Under these circumstances 1t ap-
pears that no new legislation seeking
to control. supervise or regulate busi-
ness viii be put forward by the ad-
ministration at the approaching ses-
sion. Equally it seems that new tax
legislation is "out." There was strong
hint in letters written by the President
to Senator Harrison, chairman OF the
Finance Committee, and Representa-
tive Doughton of North Carolina
chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee, just as the last session was
closing, that legislation might be pro-
posed to revive the N. r. A. In more
constitutional form. The president
suggested that there was evidence the
"chiselers" in industry and business
would make such legislation impera-
tive. Certain information, gathered
presumably by N. r. A. workers, was
transmitted to the two committees,

other hand, laughs when 1t Is sug-
gested to him that the Congress can
adjourn SO soon. If he came from
New York City instead Of upstate,
Smell probably would say that's the
baloney" AS it is, he contends Con-
gress will be lucky If it gets away
from Washington prior to the OPEN
vention in Cleveland next June 9.
Mr.. Smell bases his prediction on the
probabilities that the legislative pro-
gram will be considerably more ex-
tensive than now predicted by the
leaders-either due to the upsets Of
New Deal laws by the Supreme Court
or to requests for new legislation by
the President, or both.
There is one matter that may cause
lot Of discussion and lot of trouble
in Congress-the size Of the appropri-
alton bills. Loud warnings have been
issued by Representative Buchanan of
Texas, chairman Of the House Appro-
priations Committee, and others on
the Democratic side, that the huge
appropriations of the last three ses-
sions Of Congress must stop-that the
time has come to cut to the bone. No
one knows yet what the Presidents
budget-the estimates of appropri-
ations for the Government and Of re-
ceipts through taxation and other
sources-will contain. He is due to
send it to Congress almost imme-
diately after that body assemblies
What Is he going to ask for relief,
trade with belligerents and loans and
what for the regular departments of
the Government and other independ-
ent agencies?
Large Sums win Start Row.
II the administration seeks new
large sums for relief and works it will
start the row. It will be remembered
that the so-called work-relief act,
carrying $4,8e0, ,o00, 600 and giving the
President practically a free hand in
spending the money, required three OF
four months to get through the last
session of Congress-another Of those
sessions which, according to early pre-
dictions, was to last not later than
May, but which wilted away Just be
fore September l. On the other hand,
If the administration undertakes to
pare old appropriations there will be
trouble from the members Of Con-
gress whose States and districts are
to be the losers.

Connor ApprovesPlan
 On Highway Lighting
Night Driving Has Become Serious Menace to Public
 Safety-Cites Safety Success in Other States

Each year the problem of pro- noting trafiic safety Is becoming increasingly complex. Few solu- tions. however, are expected to pro- vide more fruitful results than highway lighting. Commissioner Michael 4. Connor, of the state de- pertinent of motor vehicles. con- codes that while 1t is true most mo- tor vehicle accidents are caused by improper actions on the part Of the highway users involved. 1t is likeA wise true that. If more adequate highway facilities were provided. accidents would be less likely to occur. This Is demonstrated by the prevalence of night accidents on the highways and the large per- centage of fatalities resulting from such mishaps.
 Night Driving
 The ever increasing hazard of night driving is well illustrated in tho ten year national automobile death record showing staggering total of over 29O,000 deaths from this cause, increases from 21.62S in 1925 to 36.000 in 1884. Over half of these deaths resulted from accidents occurring at night--an especially significant figure since but one-fifth of the total traffic proceeds at night. These figures show that 1t is ten times more dangerous to drive at night than in the daytime-hgures which offer conclusive evidence of the increas- cd safety available through proper and adequate street and highway lighting.
 Crime Prevention
 Tn recent statement. Commis- sioner Connor said: Apparently we pay for lighting whether we get 1t or not. For example, 1t is esti- mated that the annual cost of American traffic accidents is $2,- 500,000, 900, of which 50 per cent occur at night. Statistics show that half of this cost can be prevented by highway lighting. So, $625,- 000,000 can be saved annually through adequate lighting facilities. In addition. the annual cost of
