STUDYING THE SIZE
on THE BUDGET


To the uninitiated the proposal Of
Senator Pat Harrison that q Joint
Congressional Committee be estab-
llshed 70 study the whole subject
Of the governments income and out
go seemed like q move IN the right
direction because the suggestion was
accompanied with a hope that such
method would simplify questions
OF national taxation and the spend
ing Of the money that was raised In
that way
But the fact Is that this idea
would upset the whole machinery Of
Congress which works out the basic
programs through committees ID the
House and when the House sends
over It's findings to the Senate there
Is q re-examination Of All the House
has done, and this. almost invariably
brings out improvements IN the
House measures. Then the Senate
as deiiberatiye body carries on a
long debate and nearly always makes
many major changes Ia the legisla-
ton. After that the so-called con-
ference committee made up Of men-
bers of both the Senate and the
House try 10 harmonize differences
between the two branches OF Con-
gress. Unless the President vetos
the measure which is worked out uf-
der such careful methods - well
that's the way laws are made.

The politicians continue to come tC
town-from East, West, North and
South. Some urge the ''third term,
and others are Republican strate-
gists.
Union labor leaders conjugate in
washington headquarters of AFofL.
and clio, but none Of them appear
anxious to settle the breach between
the rival groups.
AS rule the farm Leaders, agree
with the liberal-spending programs
OF the Secretary Of Agriculture.
Regulation Of radio broadeasting
and the wire lines brings lobbyists to
town. The railroads keep theirs in
the Capital the year round.
The Congressional Record is really
a very interesting daily. but the
Washington newspapers are even
more SO as they are fflled with daily
reports Of these boom times in the
National Capital, that resemble pre-
war days Of 1916. and the birthday
parties Of NRA times.

ARE BANKERS A DOMINATING
ChASSs

When the public lost its shirt in
the "debacle Of '29" several million
persons declared they would never
never" buy stocks again. And many
of them followed out their threats
with the result that there were sew
efal years OF comparative inactivity
in the market.
Practically all Of our large cor
pOrations have depended for theiI
capital upon the sales Of their secur-
tiles to the public, and Investment
banking houses have handled the
transactions. Investment bankers
ARE always trusted advisers Of their
clients. and these financial agents
are selected with as much care as
lawyers. No one would consider en-
gaging lawyer because he was the
lowest bidder to handle a case in
volving millions of dollars, but COM
petitive bidding" by bankers, to han
die security-issues has been one Of
the questions before the Federal
Monopoly Committee. The probable
hope is that someone. or somebody,
might get a piece Of stock. or a bond
a little cheaper through such a meth
Od.
And while the TNEC is investigat-
ing this impractical theory the SEC
is accused of doing an imitation of
the Labor Board by taking sides"
between rival investment banking
houses in Wall Street. AlsOp and
Kintner put il this way: t1t is said
that the SEC is out to get Nor
gan's'" Those newshawks name sew
eral instances in which certain mem
bers of SEC have shown partisan
prejudice against the Morgan banks.
Mr.. Harold Stanley, new partner in
the MOrgan-Stanley firm. told the
TNEC recently that competitive
bidding" in banking affairs and I'M
vestments does not make common
sense. He added: There is no
quicker way to defeat the purpose OF
able and honest financial advisers
than to turn all Investment bankers
into a group OF traders gathered
around an auction block interested
only in bidding the highest price for
new securities offered from time to
time by issuing corporations
In a smaller way. we writer's and
publishers rarely have found our
small bankers dominating OUR az
fairs" and the chances are that the
5ig-shot bankers are just as eonsld-
crate and helpful to their patrons as
The small banker across the street,
who never so much as scolds us IL
We happen to overdraw our ae-
count.
Bankers certainly are E0t a DOM
mating class.

THUMBS DOWN ON RUSSIA

Congressman Dies and his com
mittee have completely exposed th,
schemes Of the Russians TO build NJ
Communis min our country, That is
the reason why the HoUse of Repre-
sentatives will continue this Com
mittee. Recent personal attacks upon
Mr.. Dies have not hurt him in the
least. inasmuch as the House OF Rep
resentatives has full confidence in
his honesty and ability
The conviction Of Earl BrOwder
meets with full approval in the Off
ciRl circles of Washington. BTOwder
never has rated we'll in the Capital
The attacks OF Mr.. Dewey, New
York Republican candidate for the
Presidency upon President ROOse-
volt for having renewed diplomatic
relations with Russia have no Wash
illston chaItehgefs. Many persons
think that even President Roosevelt
may be sorry by this time that he re-
sumed diplomatic relations with the
Soviet Government.
Anyhow, everything that can poss-
IDLY be done to show sympathy and
support to Finland meets with un-
anim0us approval in Washington.

THE HEN OR THE EGa

Do European and Far Eastern
events mean more to the United
States than purely domestic ques-
tions?
Or-are our national and domestic
problems so important that they
should come first?
Well-posted newsmen In the Ma
tional Capital viii tell you that in
their opinion the President puts for
eign problems on his No. list.
The same authorities seem sure
that Congress Is determined to keen
domestic affairs OF the United States
in first place.
The President condemns as false
economy cuts in his plans for Cow
ernment agencies.
Judging from the way in Which
Congress has been slashing at the
Presidents budget and tax proposals
one cannot help but feel that the
spirit of Independence ID stronger.
Congress Is apparently determined
to protect the credit Of the Govern
ment, and the interests Of private
business and the taxpayers Of the
United States.
Thus, the Administration and Con
gress do not agree. Which Is the hen,
and which is the egg?

the WASHINGTON wIIRLIGIG

The records of Government show
that State officials have been losing
no opportunity to get Federal money
out of the Government for public
works, relief and improvements OF
their highways and other local bene-
fits.
The question Of old age pensions
hasn't come uD-how can it, since
it IS always up? Legislation pends i'm
the U. S. Senate providing for larger
Federal contributions In aid of that
cause.
The Air service, the Army and
the Navy have enough propositions
pending to take billions Of the tax
payers money But naturally some
of these matters will have to go by
the wayside.
Congress itches to provide loans
for the Republic Of Finland. But il
5cfutehes over straight-out-lendlng.
The transfer OF American vessels
to foreign flags is not easy. since the
best laid plans Of men and ship-Own-
ers meet with objections.
Proposals to strengthen the laws
against unlawful mOnOpOlies pro-
duce plans that are fantastic, mis-
called Justice.

THE CHElIiCAt pRncEssEs

The great chemical factories are
making more than 200 Thousand pro-
ducts, and most Of them are new.
Basic raw materials in this manu-
featuring include carbon, oxygen,
hydrogen and nitrogen.
Awhile ago we ran across a state
meRt made by DIR. C. M. A. Stine,
chief Of research for the duPonts,
showing that more than 80 thousand
chemists are working in more than
two thousand American research lab
Onatories, IN which they have found
that in coal, water and air there are
materials from which to make our
new flbers, textiles, dyes, perfumes,
medicines, plastics. Through labor
i0us and scientific research and
changes the chemical industry has
modernized their products. They
have created great varieties that
have Increased employment until 81
present there are 40 million jobs in
the chemical industry.
The United States Bureau Of Cen
sus supplies statistics showing the
remarkable increase IN the number
of workers earning wages IN chemi-
cal manufacturing regions. Mines,
farms. forests, sea and air all add
raw materials to the great chemical
process industry.
The forward movement OF chemi-
cal progress is revealed in the fact
that versatile synthetic resins and
the semi-synthetic pIastics, cellulose,
nitrate, cellulose, acetate. easein, and
soy-bean, and certain petroleum dis
ullafes have been developed CONNER

OLE NExT REAPPORTIoNMENT

President Roosevelt has suggested
a solution to the mixup about reap
portionment Of Representatives in
Congress. In his letter 70 the House
Of Representatives Committee on the
Census he states that the twentieth
amendment Of the Constitution which
changed the terms Of the President
and Fice-President, and Senators
and Representatives to begin in jan
nary y.make 8 it impossible for the
President to submit a statement OF
population to the Congress in time
to make the reapportionment this
year. He suggests that the law be
changed so that the Presidents
statement may be sent to the first
regular session Of the 77th Congress-
which will be in January. 1941
The effect of the change prevents
the election of Congress on q reap
portiOHed basis in 1910 Therefore.
those states that show gain, or
loss, in population will have to wait
until the elections of 1919 for a new
feapportionment
IN connection With the above ii
may be said that the general feeling
has prevailed in Washington for
many years that the membership of
the House Is already SO large that #
Is clumsy in operation. For that rea-
son the old method Of increasing
representation at reapportionment-
time was abandoned many years ago,
and whenever a new lineup Is made
on the basis Of census some States
stand 70 lose. while others gain.

PIONEERS AT THE WHEEL

At the beginning of this New Year
an important and significant event
has taken place IN Michigan. When
one thinks OF Michigan one thinks Of
automobiles and when one thinks Of
automobiles one thinks OF the mill
lions Of jobs which have resulted
from the automobile in the memory
of us. Automobiles and the men who
make them have gone hand i'm hand
since the beginning Of the industry.
Realizing this fact, General Mo-
tors, on the occasion Of the produc-
tion OF its 25.000.00O car on January
II, gathered together in Detroit more
chan 500 veteran employees Of the cor
poration who have been in service
since General Motors was born in
1908. William S. Knudsen, presi-
dent, and other officials of the cor
poration and their wives, together
with the veteran employees and their
wives. sat down at a dinner to enjoy.
reflect and review the colorful his
tory OF an industry which they saw
created and around which their in
terests and lives have centered for
80 years or more.

MozEE SAYS MURDER

SEATTLE, Aug. 14.-U. s. Mar shal Benjamin Mozee of Nome, in- formed of the identification data on his wife's body in Cleveland later declared himself convinced the dead woman is his wife.
 I'm equally certain she was robbed and murdered" Mozee said. There's no question of suicide. She is not of that temperament.
 Mozee returned here last night from Portland where he had taken Federal prisoners flown south from Nome Sunday, and said he planned to go east today as soon as his business affairs are arranged.
 Mrs. Mcgee arrived in Seattle a month ago on her first visit to the States since 1913.
 Surviving her are a daughter, Miss Eloise Mozee. a clerk in the Woman's Club here. s son Elliot at Nome, a brother in Cleveland, and two brothers and two sisters in Seattle.
