the President. Recent votes have
shown an increasing number Of
Democrats that are willing to stand
on their own bottom. A very recent
illustration of this was the vote on
the New Deal scheme to tax cor
porations owned by a small num-
Der Of persons at higher rate than
those whose shares are widely
owned. There are thousands Of
these, all small corporations. To
have kept that provision in the new
tax bill would have saved the face
of a small coterie Of presidential adj
visors and even the President, him.
self. But half Of the Democrats
joined with the Republicans to kill
off the plan.
From this and other circum-
stances, it is plain to see how the
rumored Farley Garner alignment
would be backed up by such po-
htical powers as Senator Pat Harri-
son Of Mississippi, Senator Harri-
son, it will be remembered, was
rewarded for carrying New Deal
buckets by having the President
urge selection of Senator Dear AL

state. Senator Harrison IS said to
have q following Of thirty-odd or
more senators.

Farley May Quit
mentioned Postmaster General
Farley as being on the outs with
President Roosevelt. It would not
be surprising If Mr.. Farley quit his
job. Observers In Washington
know that he is pretty much dis
gusted by the refusal of the Presi-
dent to be guided by advice from
the party's national chairman. It
is possible, of course, that Mr..
Farley will prefer to continue in the
job as postmaster general and be
quiet rather than expose the rup-
ture. I understand he is giving that
matter considerable thought these
days, because, first Of all, Mr.. Far
ley believes in playing practical pol
itics up to the hilt.
There is another rlmor running
around Washington about Mr.. Far
ley. It Is said in many places that
Mr.. Farley may decide to remain
on the job so that he can be more
effective In helping to restore con-
troll of the Democratic party ma
chinery to the Democrats. That Is
to say, Mr.. Farley knows, as every
one else who understands politics
knows, that the New Deal theories
will fall of their own weight in due
time. They will fall because so
many Of them are contrary to hui
man nature and to American ira
ditions. Being immensely practical,
Mr.. Farley holds that the Demo-
cratic party is q party which Is q
natural opposition group to the Re-
publicans. It will live, as it ought
to live, and will continue to be q
factor in American government long
after the New Deal has burned itself
out. Mr.. Farley, therefore, Is anx-
ious to lend q hand In rebuilding the
Democratic party for the Demo-
Gratis.
To that end, 1t Is understood by
many observers, there is likely
alignment between Mr.. Farley and
the canny, politically wise, Cactus
Jack Garner, the Vice President.
Undoubtedly, there Is q strong and
growing group In the house and
senate which has turned away from
