Considered Legislation.

On the administration "agenda" for
the remainder of the present session of
Congress are bills of vast Importance
They include the wages and hours bill
the ever normal granary" bill. the Presi-
dents reorganization bill. the bill to stop
evaslons and avoidance of income tax
payments and the housing bill. They
are not the kind of bills which can be
rushed through, or should be rushed
through at the fag end of a long, hot ses-
slon No measure which touches the
whole life of America more Intimately
than does the wages and hours bill has
yet been offered. Granting that the
purpose is good, it is still something to
consider before power is invested in a
Federal board of five members to break
entirely an industry in this country, or
IN any one section of it.
The farmers of the country have been
getting along well with the existing
statutes, some of which are temporary.
Congress has extended for another two
years the benefits granted under the soil
erosion act, which it put through as a
substitute for the old A. A. A. No new
system now enacted into law could have
application to the crops of this year.
1t Is too late in the season. For these
reasons members of the Senate Commit
tee on Agriculture insist that there
bo
on the ever normal granary" bill. Chair
man Smith Of the committee has made
1t very clear that he wishes to enact
permanent legislation which will give
the farmers an even chance with the
industrialists. But he does not believe
that Congress should hurry into such
legislation. He prefers to have his COM
mlttee make more thorough inquiry
before acting, and the committee takes
the same attitude
Congress assembled the first week in
January. 1t has been in session more
than six months. If it has not passed
laws dealing with labor and with the
farmers in all that time, it has not been
the fault of the rank and file of the
House and Senate. 1t has been because
the administration leaders were not will
Ing to proceed, because President Roose-
velt demanded first the passage of the
bill to enlarge the membership OF the
Supreme Court. Months have been lost
The blame for failure of legislation in
all that time rests not with Congress,
however, but with the President.
The administration may continue to
insist that Congress shall pass these
measures of great Importance in Mid
summer. 1t may even win and obtain
a mass of undigested legislation, hurried
through under whip and spur. There is
growing spirit Of greater independence
on Capitol Hill, however, a growing de-
termination to examine more closely
legislation proposed by the President.
If the President believes that it is
unwise to put off legislation until next
Fall, an arrangement can be made for
a recess of Congress until October or
November. Or an adjournment may be
taken and the President call Congress
into special session at some date in the
Fall. Whatever may be done, however,
whether there be a recess or Congress
sticks to the job this Summer, let there
be an end TO ul-considered and hurried
legislation.

that to them the Capital City owes debt

Has sent another dream to smash.
