when they have before them the
Truman legislative program, they
will have to determine the party
attitude on the major provisions
of that program.
The seniority rule usually is fol-
lowed when the organizat ton of the
political parties in the Senate and
House is completed. Also, when a
party changes from majority to a
minority role in either house, the
former majority leader becomes the
minority leader.
During the present Congress, the
Republican,leadership of the Senate
was divided several ways. Senator
White of Maine held the title of
majority leader-but the leadership
on domestic questions actually
rested in the hands Of Senator
Taft Of Ohio, chairman of the Sen
ate Republican Policy Committee.
On foreign relations. Chairman
Vandenberg of the Foreign Relations
Committee was the leader. Senator
Vandenberg also was the president
pro tempore of the Senate and its
presiding Offices.
Minority Leader Post Open.
Senator White did not seek re-
election. This leaves the office of
Republican floor leader the minor
ity leadership open to other seiec-
ton. Senator Taft might reasonably
be expected to seek this office-and
he may be the choice. However,
Senator Wherry Of Nebraska, who
has been the Republican whip, is
going to make bid for this posi-
tion. Some of his friends insist it
will be a strong bid, too. Senator
Wherry has just been reelected.
and Senator Taft will come up for
reelection in 1850.
With the retirement of Senator
Capper Of Kansas, Senator Vanden-
berg becomes the Republican Sena-

Senate-20 years. What the Michi-

Il was quite surprised by the very
low vote.

Republicans stayed home from the
polls) out Of overconfidence."
When a reporter asked Gov
Dewey whether, in his judgment,
that was the main reason for his
defeat, he replied:
IT'S ope factor that stands out in
the returns so far"
Refreshed by lots of sleep, the
New York Governor announced:
II am going to get little holiday.

He will fly to Tucson from La

Gov. Dewey reiterated that he
has no intention of trying a third
time for the Presidency. But he
made 1t clear that he did not plan
to withdraw entirely from the DO
litical scene.
He said his decision not to trv
again for the White House doesn't
mean that I do not intend to be

the next four years.

"As matter of fact, 7 couldn't
(renounce iD If I wanted to-" he
added.
Another indication that he has
no idea Of giving up the party reins
came in his volunteered remark that
he had been giving "a good deal of
thought" to his future role in Ma
tional affairs.
But he declined to elaborate on
any OF his plans, saying he would
do that when he returns from Ari-
xona.
Gov. Dewey leafed through a pile
OF telegrams on his desk which he
said were from students "all over
the country" commencing him for
the kind OF campaign he conducted.
Urged to Slug 1t Out.
Some of his advisers, it is known,
urged him to abandon his high
level' campaign and slug it out with
President Truman That idea was
vetoed by a majority of his aides.
Referring to the kilograms from
students, Gov. Dewey said they show
the youth of this country be-
lieve the Republican Party is the
best instrument for their futures
." He added:
Il earnestly hope they all will
stay In the Republican Party and
become more active in it in order
to make 1t better and more effec-
tive political organization.
Answering a question about the
future of the bipartisan foreign
policy, Gov. Dewey said lit is pretty
firmly rooted in our practice" and

Backing for continuance of the

But the fact remains that in the
new House there will be 226 re-

act when 1t was passed last year.
They constitute 8 more than a ma

Sentiment was divided in the Sen

On that and other questions, Sen

 Using he basic price of $40,000. as the start, the bonds draw 6 per cent for the 20year period This raises the figure $25, 5,200.00 more or to $65, 10000.
 Depreciation at 5 per cent per year uses up the entire amount of $4O.OOO.0O and adds that amount to the cost which makes a total of $1O5 10000.
 The lease or ren money paid by Riley and Pege at the rate of $5O0O00 per year for 20 years would amount to S100000.
 This amount being used to off set the cost would leave a diff ference of $5,2O00O on the red side of the ledger. It is under stood that they make certain inn 
 movements and additions but the contract reads they may be re- moved at the end of the term of lease.
 Now, just how much actual cash is the city OUT because of this particular deal in which pri- vate business has been forced out; that is business which pays di- rect tax to the city and lessens the taX-burden of the man in the city?

 Dear Cliff:
 Well, since l sold the little farm in Arkansas 1 have prosper ed. You know we always lived in that little one-room shack, but I came to east Texas and bought a farm, and pretty soon I leased it to an oil Company and was sure lucky. They hit big oi! field on the place ana now I have a big house here in Alto It has six roms.
 There is one we don't do any thing but eat in, one we just sit in, two rooms we don't do any thing but sleep in, one room we don't do anything but cook in, and there is one that is all white that has a place you can wash all over, and over in the corner there is a place you can wash your face and hands in, and a. cross the room there is place you can wash your feet in. When we moved in there was two lids on this, but we have taken them off, we are using one of them for a doughboard and the other we framed grandpap's picture with.
 "Why don't you and Liz come up some time, Your friend. "JIM' Salt Lake City Tribune We afil to see any difference between a mayor who resigned because of matter of commis- sion and councilmen who would pay themselves unearned interest by selling the city short by Sc on the dollor.
 While we are berating the farmer these days for the high cost of things we eat, let us pause to remember that. For one hog he can get a car penter for two days. For one fat lamb he can get plasterer for 5 hours
 For the eggs from 720 hens in one day he can hire a painter for 8 hours.
 For one year-old steer he can get 100 pieces of r 12" lumb- CT 10 feet long usually second grade
 For three big turkeys he can get half days work on his car not counting the extras.
 For four good cows any estab- lished doctor will be willing to deliver his wif@'s baby and pay for tie hospital bill for few days
 For twelve fat hens he can get a tooth filled although he might spend another hundred dollars going and coming.
 For one acre of wheat he can get a pair of ordinary eye glas- Ses.
 And so we might go on ad in- finitum. but it all adds up to in- flation.
