Taxis Go to Congress-

n ONGRESS is going to be asked to reduce the num-
" Der Of taxcabs operating in Washington.
Couldn't Congress be asked to pass some sort of
law prescribing the proper time for the feeding of
Washingtons infants?
Whether Washington has too many or too few taxi
cabs is not the question.
Mo.o 1,,no,tn,t Is it the function of the de-
Mottoro to po,dop Lucrative body of great ma
ton to think of taxicabs
unless it rains?
Imagine the great minds of Congress ponderously
debating the taxicab situation. Suppose some ex-
taxi-driver-member should filbuster for more and
bigger and better cabs!
Of course that is ridiculous But it also is ridicn
lous that citizens of great metropolis have no voice
in their government that they cannot choose the
men and women they want to settle their own little
municipal problems and that these problems must neces
sarily keep Congress from devotng itself to national
affairs.

opening the private capital mar
ket looked like just what the
business doctor ordered. Don't
be too sure. Certain little slants
we're hidden in it which are Ger.
tainly contradictions If not
hocus-pocus.
One was the promise Of no
new taxes, while at the same
time suggesting broadening OF
the income tax base. Even nom
experts know such broadening
would mean new taxation for
millions of people.
The other one was neater--
the promise to hold next years
expenses within this years reve-
nue. and thus balance the budget.
That promise is no better than
next years revenue, which Is al
ready receding as a result of the
business recession.
Note-Rumors are about In
Congress that an inside Nor
genthau-La Toilette alliance is
going to push toward broaden

very far. A majority Of incom-
ing Representatives appear to
be strongly against tin a

for President in 1920. and Of
Herbert Hoover for President In
1929; probably smartest po-
litical mind in the Republican
party and its strongest figure;
has no personal organization
and no outstanding allies. His
prominence is likely to be en-
hanced at the coming session
as his subjects are again hot
international affairs. antitrust
monopolies and farm relief.
His chance: His age prob
ably will be whispered against
him but Chief Justice Hughes
is three years older and, doing a
very active job Of leadership:
his lack Of organization prob

may have a bigger voice than

Take Jim, for example. Jim's
a. fine fellow. Not hard to look
at. Hard-working, willing, COM

And generous to a fault. Sounds
like a sure bet, doesn't he?
And yet, at IS Jim is still just
where he was 10 years ago.
Hardly any money in the bank.
No home or family-though he
longs for both. And has never
held a really first-class job.
What's wrong? Jim, himself,
doesn't know. No man ever
wanted harder to be a success.
No man was ever more hungry
for friends. And as for a wife
-Jim's gone with the same nice
girl for nine years, and still
hasn't gotten enough gumption
to propose to her.

Cause for "Jitters''

Government workers are be-
ing described as having the jit-
ters, when contemplating the
economies that Congress is go
ing to enact this coming session.
Now would not call this the
jitters, but guilty conscience on
the part of about 80 per cent Of
the so-called workers.
When a person is receiving
something for nothing they all
have a guilty conscience. Hav'
ing worked in four Of the de.
partments of the Government I
have observed hundreds Of cases
where people were holding down
positions paying three hundred
per cent or more than they
could command on the outside.
Not only does the Government
furnish these people with good
salary, nice office space, but
they also furnish a parking
space for their automobiles and
a guard to watch the automo-
bile. TOUCHED.

l. more than anything else.
Leaders have been sauntering
in, stretching themselves and
vaguely i1quiring what it is all
about. The secret of that is
most Of them did not want a
special session, do not want it
now. Their personal attitude
seems to be that Mr.. r. called it;
now he must decide what to do
with it.
Actually, a dictaphone in
stalled at their first get-together
meetings would have recorded
mostly silence. The answer to
that is the Presidents program
bills generally are not ready for
swift handling, and House lead
ers, for example, had difficulty
finding something to do until
the farm bill could be presented.
This Is largely lolling before
the fighting, but it indicates also
that legislation is going to start
flowing like molaSseS in Janu-
ary, and legislators are going to
be as hard to handle as they
were in July.
Note: Apparently Mr.. R. is pre-
pairing to liquify this situation
by handling Congress himself
personally His former iaison
men have been missing from
Capitol corridors.

A HINT that all is not well
"A is disclosed in the manner
in which the President privately
summoned the leaders.
It now develops that a day or
two before the proclamation
was issued, Mr.. Roosevelt called
four or five Of the leaders, one
by one, on the long distance
telephone. After a few per-
sonal remarks and inquiries con-
cerning their health Cbut not
their political views) the Presi-
dent spoke in substantially this
tone, but not, of course, in these
exact words:
Gust wanted to let you
know we're going to have a spe-
cial session UP here"
That was the extent of consul
tation.
THERE are tricks in all Wash
L ington trades, but more Of
them in the Treasury than else
where.

eratons by other nations large enough scale
impossible. About the only thing Mortified world
can do is to lament this disaster.
The Japanese object in taking Shanghai has become
plain. It was made plain by the announcement of
Gen. Iwane Matsui, commander-in-chief at Shanghai
that no antiJapanese propaganda will be tolerated
in the International Settlement That the Japa
nese aim to take over all Shanghai from the joint
Western-nation control that began in 1872

If the Chinese can make the japanese pay heavily

Wasted Space in Cars

Grasping for a three-way-
divisioned strap in a protesting
street car yesterday, with room
to move only my eye balls. I
noticed something startling and
surprising. How transit COM
pany officials have failed to
notice and utilize it so far is
beyond my comprehension.
I mean that great open space
that exists in the top Of Wash
ington street cars over the
heads of the mashed customers
below.
If the transit people could
find some way to pack the
public into this open space
horizontally or otherwise, less
cars would have to be run and
another great saving would be
produced for the transit COM
pany, which, or so they say, is
truly a Capital asset.
For while the Capital Transit
may only be fifth in the coun-
try in the matter of highest
fare-rate, it certainly leads in
the number of people it can
squeeze into available space.

What is the best advice you
have ever received?
The Washington times., 1937-11-13

First Of two days for improv-
ing with loved ones, putting ar
tistic and creative talents to the
test. Today: good and strong
serious vibrations for practically
all honest intentions; make the
most of them; you can go far.
THE 7TH CUSP LESSON
When a planet comes up to
the 7th cusp (setting at the
western horizon) of a nation,
as measured from the Great
Pyramid, according to the an
cients, it has problems with its
neighbor nations. This is the
case now in Europe and the Far
East; but force Of arms will not
settle matters. Nothing is ever
settled unless both sides are
trying to help, not hurt. each
other.
YOUR YEAR AHEAD
Your year ahead brings UP
past matters to aid you in grasp
ing new opportunities, if this is
your anniversary. Move ahead
on basis of experience; make
new friends. Danger: December
1-January 8; March 27-May 40;
August 15-October 5.
TOMORROW
Many keen thoughts can be
rounded up by the bright lad
and lassie.
