St. Paul.
Practicing the principles of true CO.
operation, the Central Cooperative
Association has handled a large VOL
ume of business for Northwest stock
men and farmers at the South St.
Paul market on an actual cost basis.
Many thousands of dollars of excess
profits earned by this organization
have been returned to member pa
irons annually in patronage refunds
and dividends.
Since the organization started in
1921, it has paid to its patrons in cash
refunds and dividends total of
81 ,442 1882. This great savings was
made possible by the loyal support
and patronage of its stockholders, who
collected for themselves the profits
that otherwise would have gone into
the Golfers of privately agen-
cies.

With that in mind, those who try
to follow the procedure of the law
making bodies can readily imagine the
stormy sessions which go On behind
many locked doors through the cap
itOl as the small committees from
the House and Senate argue over the
differing forms of the measure they
are trying to whip into shape that
will permit both bodies to agree on
the draft that is to go to the White
House for final approval. Publicity
has been given recently to Rep. Hud-
dleston's protest against the presence
of a New Deal advisor to the Senate
conferees on the holding company
bill. That recalls the fact that at
these conferences the public is
barred. outsiders except for the con-
fereeS themselves are unwelcome,
there are no stenographers to record
the proceedings. and no sort of record
of what happens except the report
that is finally made to each body.
In many cases such drastic changes
are made in the bill as compared
with the form in which it originally
passed that it is not entitled to be
called the same measure. The power
of the conference committees is
therefore apparent, and Senator Nor
ris can easily justify his criticism of
this parliamentary stage when he
styles it the third House" and con-
dennis it's practices. 1t was his dis
taste for conference committee pro-
cedure that really was back of his
recent and successful fight to have
the Nebraska legislature consist of
only one body, instead of two.
But for Congress there is no alter
native. as long as each House cor sid
ers bills each in their own commit
tee, receives the favorable report,
and then passes the bill. In only
rare instances do both bodies pass
major bills in identical form. And
when the Senate or House make
changes, rarely does the other body
accept those amendments without
asking for the conference. When that
is done, the speaker and vice presi-
dent each name a group, three to five
in number, and they meet at their
convenience and thresh out their diff
ferences. Custom dictates that there
shall be the chairman of the com
mittee which handled the bill, to-
gether with those he chooses to sit
with him. Naturally the majority
party has the greatest number, so
that it can dominate the conference.

for his signature. This measure pro-
vides for old-age pensions, industrial
retirement pensions, unemployment
insurance and wide range of gratu-
tiles to the infirm and needy, includ-
ing mothers and children. 1t is the
greatest forward step i'm social secur-
ity takenaby any government in the
history of the world. Although the
amounts to be paid in the form of
benefits are lower than many people
have advocated the bill, nevertheless
acknowledges the principle of govern
mental responsibility to care for
those in need of assistance and who
because of Old-age or other infirm-
tiles or for other reasons beyond their
control, are unable to provide for
| themselves.
Undoubtedly, as time goes on there
will be many changes in the program,
but it is safe to say that the changes
will be in the nature of improvements
in the social security program of the
government. This legislation will do
more than anything else to soften the
blows of future depressions. 1t will
give to the people a sense of security
that will relieve them of the worries
incident to the uncertainties of life
and thus cause our people to be more
contented and happy.
The Guffey Bill, which would set
up little MIRA" for the bituminous
coal industry has finally been re-
ported out of the House Ways and
Means Committee. This bill has been
the subject of bitter controversy,
many Democrats. otherwise loyal to
the administration, having refused to
go along on this measure. Undoubt-
eddy, there will be a close vote on
this bill when, in a few days, it is
brought on the floor of the House
for consideration.
The coal industry has been partic-
ularly hard hit during the depression
and the mine owners have joined with
the miners in asking that Congress
enact this legislation. The deplor-
dDiC COluIlIOllS Ill Tie Industry nave
resulted in the threat of strike on
the part of the 100000 mine workers
which will probably be averted if this
legislation is enacted speedily. Enc
mics of the legislation claim that it
is unconstitutional, whereas it's ad-
vocates claim that it is within the
constitutional power of Congress to
put its provisions into effect
President Roosevelt has received
great deal of criticism because he
stated some time ago that the only
way definitely to determine whether
or not such legislation is constitu-
tional is for the Congress to enact
the law and then have the matter SUBJ
mitted to the United States Supreme
Court for its opinion. After all, when
outstanding constitutional lawyers
disagree as to the constitutionality of
any proposed legislation, there is no
other way to settle the question.

THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
By CONG. JOHN PAUL KVALE

Once again the congressional flags
fly at half mast, parting tribute to
the Ohio legislator who was stricken
yesterday with a heart attack due to
OverWOrk. But the fast lawmaking
pace will continue without let-up, as
Congress strives to reach the con-
clusiOn of the program it's leaders
have determined upon, and then ad-
jOurn.
AS far as the House is concerned,
the work, aside from the Guffey coal
bill, will consist largely of disposing
of a huge number of minor measures,
and then considering several import
ant conference reports. That situa-
tion always makes itself evident as
sessions draw to a close. Too, it is
always the Senate which lags behind
the House in winding up it's work.
For one reason, many bills must orig
mate in the House and be passed
there before the upper body can take
them up. Also, the more liberal rules
of the Senate make it impossible for
leaders there to jam measures
through with the dispatch that House
rules permit.
