The adjournment Of Congress,
much desired by many legislators,
may be nearer at hand than most
people think but, if it is, num-
Der of important issues will be
left unsettled. With the new
Court measure no longer block
ing the consideration of other
legislation, the Wage-and-Hour
Bill, the Wagner Housing law, a
bill plugging loopholes in the in
come tax system, and some parts
of the executive reorganization
program are being pushed toward
vote. Whether they can lie adj
journment overwhelms all other
factors is doubtful in view of the
controversy which will inevitably
be aroused.

That the President took beat
ing from the Senate on the ques-
ton of reforming the Supreme
Court by adding new justices is
certain. There were several OPP
portunities for the Chief Execu-
tive to gracefully withdraw his
proposal, notably when the Court
reaSrsed itself on important legis-
lation, and some observers won-
der why he did not do this. The
answer is to be found, we be-
lieva, in the fact that the Presi-
dent was not, and is not, sure
that the liberalism of the Court
lis permanent and therefore he
wanted the issue put to a deci-
sion.

come tax system, and some parts
of the executive reorganization
program are being pushed toward
vote. Whether they can he adj
iournment overwhelms all other
factors is doubtful in view of the
controversy which will inevitably
be aroused.
The general idea is that further
farm legislation viii not develop
at this session, particularly in
view of hearings announced by
the House Agriculture Committee.
Chairman Jones of the House
Committee and Chairman Smith
of the Senate Committee, appar-
emily have their own ideas as to
proper measures and are not in-
clined to prsh the ever-normal
granary plan, proposed by the
Farm Bureau Federation.
In view of the indicated pro-
duction of wheat and cotton this
year, some leaders fear that add.
tional farm legislation is neees-
sary to prevent critical condi-
ton from developing, particularly
if the 1888 yields bring another
surplus. Whether yields this year
will lead to lowered prices re-
mains doubtful but the threat to
farm prosperity is real regardless
OF the adjournment fever which
is heating up Congress. In view
of the Supreme Court decision
upsetting the AAA, there is some
confusion as to what Congress
can DO to meet the situation.
Representatives Baker, Smell
and other Republicans continue
to denounca the sale of souvenir

While the Senators who were
against any reform of the SUI
preme Court had the votes to
block the Presidents plan, which
was therefore set aside, no word
has come from the President up
to this writing that he has chang
ed his mind upon any of the pro-
posed reforms. Defeated as he
was in the Senate, there is moth
ing for the President to do but to
move onward and, If he harbors
the desire for action on the Court,
bring up the matter at a more
propitious time. In other words,
while defeated today, there is al
ways the chanee of tomorrow and
the President is a patient per
former when it is necessary to be
patient.

SEES
RACING
TO DISTRICT

Enactment of a law to legalize
horse racing in the District would
go a long way toward providing
increased revenue for the city and
would thereby cut down the
necessity for increased real estate
taxes for Washington, Senator
Robert R. Reynolds CD, North
Carolina, said today.
Senator Reynolds is the author
of a bill legalizing racing which
was introduced in the Senate yes
terday at the same time a similar
measure was presented to the
House of Representatives by Repre-
sentative Mary T. Norton CD,
New Jersey, chairman Of the
House District Committee.
The bill introduced by Senator
Reynolds has been changed some
what from the measure sponsored
by him at the last session of Con-
gress. It provides that the Dis
trict would benefit first by an ad-
vanced payment for a license Of
$4,000 a day for the duration Of a
racing season, that in addition
the track would pay the District
per cent from the take of the
pari-mutuel machines and a Is
per cent tax of the net profits Of
the track.
Senator Reynolds believes that
with the inauguration of racing in
the Nations Capital that Washing
ton could have the greatest racing
season of any city in the country.
He said that he had received nu-
merous complaints from District
business men that the present tax
system made it impossible for
them to realize profits on their
business locations. He said that
with the proposed increase in real
estate tax under the fiscal rela.
tions report just submitted that it
was imperative to raise additional
revenue.
He added:
81 know of no better way to
raise this revenue than to allow
racing here. i thing that q race
track in the Nations Capital
would draw enough money in
indirect expenditures to naateri-
ally reduce the necessity for
higher taxes"
Among the other bills intro
duced in the Senate yesterday
was a bill by Senator Pat McCar-
ran for the rewriting of the Dis
trict code. This bill is sponsored
by the District Bar Association
and provides for undermining the
present code and a rewriting of
the several laws where it is found
to be necessary.
Senator Royal S. Copeland CD,
of New York, introduced two
measures affecting the retirement
of Government employees. He pro-
posed in the first instance to al
low a widow of a retired Govern.
ment employe to get three-fourths
of his annuity provided she mar
ried him 10 years before his death
and that she is 40 years of age.
The other Copeland measure
would allow a Government en-
ploye to retire voluntarily at the
age of SIS years, provided he has
served Is years in the Government
service, of which Is years h S
been spent in the tropics.
