groups and they do not lack for congressional spokesmen.
 The big fight on the various measures to carry out the reorganization program will un- doubtedly come over proposed consolidation of certain quasi-judicial agencies under the regular departments with a Cabinet officer at their head
 There is deep-rooted opposition to placing the Interstate Commerce Commission, for in- stance, under the Department of Commerce and the same may be said of the Federal Trade Commission and other independent agencies exercising quasi judicial function.
 Behind these key items on the legislative agenda will come the matter of taxes and how they should be revised. The same mo- tves that make for passage or defeat of a wages and hours bill may determine the out come of pending tax revision.

Pioneering in Security
(NeW York Times)

tNeW York 1lmeS)
 For most of us the term social security is only three years old. It is still vague. Mrs Anna Rosenberg regional director of the Social Security Board does something to get it down to brass tacks in her annual report So does Governor Lehman in his annual message. More than 5000000 New York State wage-earners are under the Federal old-age employment with fund of about $1ooO0O0 0oO; and Federal funds have made possible greater assis- tance to larger number of elderly persons blind per- sons and dependent boys and girls. Mrs. Rosenberg believes that "the influence of ths atter program upon the future welfare of the community is incal- culable since it has as its objective the keeping to- gether of families which might otherwise be separated by the death disability of the wage-earner
 It has to be admitted that the total of State and Federal aid does yet attain to social security for every one The samples offered by the Hundred Needest Cases show that situations arise which pub lie aid cannot relieve. The unemployment reserve funds will ease the first shock of depression, but they will never be enough to carry millions of the unemployed indefinitely There is further problem in coordinating unemployment insurance and our relief programs. Finally under the system of passing State old-age security tax payments into the gen. era fund of the Treasury. the funds collected for this purpose all in fact being used at present to meet current expenditures of the Government.
 We have to face facts and these facts But it is also fact that under the name of social ity" we are trying to take of the sting out of the sngs and of outrageous fortune" It is not bread and circuses that planning for. When the social security program is fully developed and it's present weaknesses have been removed it may not cost than the relief systems which would be needed to replace it. Essentially it is insurance of self-respect rather than of money.

Horoscope "The stars incline
 but do not compel"

THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1887
 Adverse planetary aspects rule today, according to astrology. The configuration is unfavorable to ship ping and may presage disasters at sea
 Deceit, intrigue and untruthful- ness are believed to prevail under this sway. Danger of betrayal of international compacts is prognosti- cated.
 As world governments form new |alignments diplomats will face se- cret and disturbing plots that threaten peace in widely separated countries.
 All who exercise authority are Isubject to planetary influences de- structive to discipline. Educa- tional institutions and labor organ izations may be especially suscep- tible to these aspects. This is not an suspicious rule un- der which to seek loans or assis- tance of any sort. Bankers, heads of families and employers are like ly to be extraordinarily cautious regarding money.
 ! Gossip touching the highest so- cial circles may be widely circulat- ed The tongue should be bridled and thouphtS guarded Ancient lore finds this favor able date for hiring men in any line of work Men and women should train their hands in many trades, for their help will be needed in un- usual tasks, it is foretold. Venus is held to lncllne Hitler toward peace protestations. Gen. eral Goering now comes under sin lister portents. Germany and Aus tria are to compel international attention.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of alluring prospects. They should be accepted with wise consideration Specula- tion may bring losses. Children born on this day may be of enthusiastic and energetic na- ture. Subjects of this sign may be over -sanguine.

 Associated Press dispatch from Scranton
 "Dr E. Preston Sharp, rehabilitation supernten- dent at the Eastern Penientiary said yesterday that parole necessary to provide jail space for new offenders
 "The population the Eastern Penitentiary, he said changes completely in three years That means if keep them in jail in six years would need two new jails and in nine years two jails "
 Perhaps this attitude toward parole explains some of the wholesale and unwarranted releases of danger ous criminals in recent years-in and other States-releases which have been followed by the long list of crimes by paroees which have filled the newspapers.
 There are some excellent reasons for parole. But prison overcrowding isn't one of them.

Employers Must Compile Returns

Commissioner of Internal Reve- nue Guy T. Helvering has called attention to the fact that all em- ployers of eight or more persons during the calendar year 1887 must file their Federal unemployment insurance tax return on Form $40 on or before January 31, 1888, or be liable to penalty for delinquency The tax rate for the calendar year 1887 is percent of the pay roll.
 MT. Helvering points out that no general extension of time for filing these returns on Form $40 would be granted this year. A year ago conditions were such, due to recently enacted State laws, that a general extension of tim was granted to April l, 1887, in which to file returns on Form $40 for the calendar year 1886.
 It was also pointed out by Com missioner Helvering in the an nOuncement that all contributions to State unemployment funds for employment during the calendar year 1887 must be made before January 3l, 1888, to enable such contributions to be used as credit against the Federal liability. State contributions made on or after January 3l, 1888, cannot be used as a credit, and the full Federal tax at the rate of percent of the pay roll will be assessed

ECHOES FROM CONGRESS

Many interesting sideights on the congressiona setup which is now settling down to business in tn regular session following the Presidents messag emanates from Washington, and of the most en revealing some of the stumbling blocks from Felix Belair, Jr, veteran Washington cor respondent for the New York Times. From the sea of activity MT Beair writes:
 Congress members whose political life de- bends on their decision in this battle weighing the issues. They come for the most part from the South, where Representative Lister Hill of Alabama recently sent to the Senate on a New Deal ticket. He had endorsed the Presidents program in toto riSking the opposition of the right-wing labor group that was Instrumental in sending ves the Wage and Hour Bill back to conference. aes Southern Representatives seeking reelection will remember the victory of MT. Hill when the measure is again before the House. But the issue is not dismissed easily as s5 that. There those Administration leaders in Congress who are apprehensive of the fate of the labor protective measure for another reason Some fear that wage and hour pass that has not the combined support of the American Federation of Labor and the Committee for Industrial Organi- zation.
 ss Already these leaders have sounded cut the A F. of L. to learn if there has been any change in attitude toward the measure. They profess 10 KnOW lIaJ the organization WOulQ not object to revival of the bill if it were con- fined to maximum hours of labor. But with the C. l. O. determined in its opposition to any measure that does not provide for wage minirnums and hourly maxmums, the leaders find little reason for optimism.
 However seasoned observers of the Con- greSsional scene and its usual response in election year to a President still popular with the mass of the people confident that the fundamental motive of self preservation will prove effective in politics in any other walk of life and that there will be wage and hour bill the Presidents desk before the end of the present session
 Less clearly defined is the issue that re- yolved around the proposed reorganization of the executive branch of the Federal Govern ment While theoretically there is no ob- jection to greater economy and efficiency
