THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
By CONG. JOHN PAUL KVALE

The bill amending the AAA, recent
ly passed by the House and sent over
to the upper body of Congress, has been
having some pretty tough shedding in
the Senate during the week just COM
ing to close. In whitening debate,
and with a series of modifying amend
ments, that body has wrought much
damage on the measure which the
administration had hoped would clari-
fly and extend its authority in matters
involving imposition of the processing
taxes and licenses for dealers and
professors. That of course is dOubly
true since court decisions have in the
last week been handed down adverse
to the government.
Now there is uncertainty and CROP
ing, in the government as we'll as
among the affected industries. Some
are complying with terms of existing
law, while in other cases large pro-
cessors of agricultural commodities
are withholding payment of their
taxes and thus threatening operation
of the whole program of adjustment
of prices of the various commodities.
The strange part of it is that while
these large concerns are holding back
on the payment of the processing
taxes, in hope of greater profits, such
taxes have in all cases indisputably
been passed on to the consumers in
the price of the product that has been
marketed. Courts have a number of
cases involving this point, but the
final issue cannot be determined until
the supreme court hears one of the
cases that will be appealed in the fall.
In the meantime, unless the AAA can
find some way to bring the large cor
porations to obedience, the whole ad-
justment program is in danger of col
lapse. 1t is causing much concern
among administration leaders, and
the Senate action in cutting many
important provisions out of the House
bill does not ease such feelings.
More. it makes observers wonder what
is to happen to some of the other
vital measures which, after passing
the House, must still run the gauntlet
of the rebellient Senators.

A heated debate took place between
Representative Wright Patman of
Texas, and Representative Hamilton
Fish of New York.
Representative Fish advocated pay
ment of the Soldiers bonus out of the
| 81 ,OOO, 100000 relief appropriation,
while Representative Patman, author
of the now famous Patman bonus bill,
argued that such a course would de-
prive needy persons of relief and bring
the veterans cause into disrepute.
Representative Patman questioned
the record of Representative Fish as
to past bonus votes. Fish then accused
Patman of shopping" into his record.
Patman asked that the words be taken
down, which is a parliamentary pro-
cedure, requiring the Representative
who is speaking to be seated while the
clerk reads the Objectionable words
and the speaker rules as to their pro-
priety.
Consequently, Representative Fish
was compelled to take his seat while
Speaker Byrns looked up the defini-
ton of the word "snoop' in Webster's
dictionary.
The speaker read the definition as
follows: "snOOp; to look or pry about
or into others affairs in sneaky
way. One who snoops; prying
sneak"
The speaker ruled that the words
were improper and that they be ex-
plunged from the record.
During the course of argument,
Representative Ekwall of Oregon, OBJ
served that stool pigeon would be
a better word than ''snoop."
This was also ruled improper.
During all of this procedure, bitter
remarks were exchanged from both
sides of the House. showing that the
heat and hard work is getting the bet
ter of Congressional tempers.
Consideration of omnibus claim
bills, one of which contains the Min
nesOta fire claimants bill, was part of
the order of business for Tuesday.
A filibuster, arranged and executed
by Representative Tom Blanton of
Texas, and John Taber of New York.
prevented consideration of the Mime
sofa section of the bill and it is now
unlikely that this bill can be passed
in this session.
The Social Security bill, which has
now passed both Houses, ran into a
deadlock in an attempt to wipe out the
difference between the two Houses
on the Clark Senate amendment. This
amendment exempts from the old age
pension retirement provisions, any pri-
vate firm that has an adequate old
age pension system of it's own.
The Senate put this amendment in
, the bill and the House has voted
against adopting the bill with this
amendment.
, The proposal to extend the Federal
Trade Commission investigation OF
the practices of milk distr ibuting com
panies was side-tracked by the Senate
appropriations committee when tina!
, committee refused to incorporate the
proposed 100000 appropriation in the
deficiency bill. The proposed extern
: sion of the inquiry has been recon-
mended by President Roosevelt. Sec
rotary Wallace, and the Bureau of the
Budget.
One effect of the inquiry, which
!, has been conducted in two eastern
milk sheds. has been to save 5000. 00(
for the milk producing farmers of the
sheds in question. In view of thi:
fact it would seem that an extension
! of the investigation to other mill
sheds would be justified.

Good Done by Snakes
Far Surpasses Harm

Since the Garden of Eden story
snakes have been generally disliked.
But the good they do far surpasses
the evil, according to report on
1.-THE Reptiles of Connecticut" issued
by the Connecticut Geological and
Natural History Survey.
"The snake is disliked because it is
Shiny, while, as matter Of fact. the
snake Is covered with scales and these
are dry, although the coldness of the
snakes body may induce one to be-
lieve it is Shiny" states the report.
THE blacksnake is accused of twist
ing itself about persons and trying to
squeeze them, while the whipsnake is
supposed to lash them to death with
its long, slender body. These tales
are false and ridiculous. Then we
have the wild imaginative pictures of
the hoopsnake taking its tail In its
mouth and rolling about. Could any
thing be more of a contradiction Of
nature than to have a horsehair turn
into a snake when it has been left
in the rain barrel over night?
Around the barns of farms the
banded milksnake is often found and
killed because it is accused of steal
ing milk from cows. A snake has no
lips so it cannot suck a COW. and If it
were able to, the amount would not be
noticed. We hear stories of how q
mother snake will swallow her young
to protect them, and later allow them
to come forth. This story Is now said
to be false"

0ARIS.-The session of Parlia-
= ment now about to open prom
ises to be one of the stormiest
4 in recent French history
Many are predicting that the Laval
cabinet will not survive the first vote
of confidence, and already the usual
predictions are being made as to the
probable composition of the next gov
ernment.
To tell the truth, the situation OF
the cabinet Is somewhat paradoxical.
Premier Lavals most ardent support
ers appear more willing to have him
overthrown than his opponents. The
reason is that a new Chamber OF
Deputies Is to be elected next May,
and during the six months that inter-
vene whatever cabinet is in power will
have to do many unpopular things
either proceeding to still more dras-
tic def1ation than Laval has already
accomplished, or else devaluing the
franc. Besides this, the international
situation is full of menace.
Opposition Victory Seen.
If unpopular measures have to be
taken on the eve Of parliamentary
election, each party would rather that
the other fellow take the responsible
ity. The feeling is that next May the
opposition is going to win, and SO all
parties appear to be scrambling to get
into the opposition.
Another thing that is particularly
odd about Laval's present position is
that he is swinging around to the
British side in the Anglo Italian con-
fiict, while the great majority OF La
val's f1rmest supporters are ardently
opposed to joining England In severe
sanctions against italy.

out the period when Laval appeared
to be obstructing the British plan at
Geneva, that ne must ultimately join
hands with England, even to the ex-
tent of promising the support OF the
French fleet in the Mediterranean and
permitting the British navy to use
the French naval bases. The obstruc-
tionism at Geneva, about which SO
much bitter complaint has been made
in London, appeared at all times to be
an adroit feint to avoid splitting
French opinion, although it is admit
tedly possible that Laval had also
made some imprudent commitments
during his visit to Rome last jan
uary, when he appeared not to be
aware of England's irreducible oppo-
sition to Italy's East African aims.
Opposition Shuns Burden.
Despite predictions of speedy fall
for the Laval cabinet, the general be-
lief is that it will be allowed to ride
until the deflation DEGREES are ratified,
and possibly until the 1886 budget IS
voted. The opposition certainly does
not desire to saddle itself with re-
sponsibility for rejecting the DEGREES,
the application of which is so unpopu-
lar that it means hundreds of thou
sands of votes to the ''left's parties.
But If, as a result of snap vote,
which is always possible, Laval Is over
thrown, it is extremely probable that
Edouard Herriot will dictate the form
alton of the succeeding cabinet and
will take the portfolio Of foreign al
fairs. It is unlikely, however. that
Herriot will head the cabinet himself.
Odd as it may seem, there are good
reasons to believe that the next pre-
mier will be Georges Mandel, now
minister Of posts and telesraphs.

believed that DR.. Hjalmar Schacht,
governor of the Reichsbank and arch
enemy of paper money imitation, will
be forced to resign.
A parallel condition is rapidly de-
veloping in Italy. Here again lire
are quoted on foreign markets at ap-
proximately par, but Italian bank notes
are bought and sold at from 20 to Is
per cent discount. The immense daily
expenses Of the war in East Africa
probably will force the Italian gov
ernment also to print fiat money.
Price Rise Noted.
Rising prices, as usual, accompany
the currency depreciation. Travellers
report that Italian prices have risen
sharply since the Ethiopian campaign
started.
The situation of the gold bloc coun-
tries Is scarcely more reassuring.
France, Holland and Switzerland, the
principal members of this group, are
all having serious budget difflculties,
and their currencies are under con-
slant attack. The Dutch public debt
has grown out Of all proportion to the
taxable wealth of the country, and
France, by new budget Juggling
plan, has committed herself to a plan
of annual borrowing to the extent Of
$400 ,000, 900 a year. The French pub
lie debt already exceeds $4,000, ,000,-
600.
Nobody dares predict what social up
heavals may ensue when the currencies
of Europe begin to crash, and many
fear that, with the tendency every
where to blame financial difficulties
on foreign nations, these treasury
troubles may finally result in increas-
ing the international tension, already
severely strained.

The situation of Germany is con-

more than two years there have been
practically no dealings in foreign ex-
change between Germany and the
outside world, and the mark, conse-
quently, has had no definitely ascer-
tainable value. The principal stock
exchanges of the world have main-
tanned the daily quotation of marks
at par, but this value was purely
fictitious.
Decline Is Sharp.
At present, Reichsbank notes can
not be sold outside Germany at more
than 65 per cent of their nominal
value. The decline has been par
ticularly sharp in the last month. The
so-called tourist mark, which travellers
from abroad were able to buy month
ago at 80 per cent discount, is now
available at so per cent discount; in
other words, any one leaving New
York for trip to Germany may now
buy marks at about 20 cents each
instead Of approximately % cents a
