HOUSE KEEPS ON FIDDLING WHILE TIME IS WASTED Ways and Means Committee Holds Back Progress of Country. EXTRAVAGANCE GROWS By RICHARD LINT HI COM. Washington. Aug. it.—xndsummr madness, always more virulent and acute among enforced dwellers In cities than elsewhere at this season Is now here so much In evidence as in the National Capital. For weeks Congress simply has been fiddling snd jigging while the House Ways and Means Committee has been wasting the peoples' time by trying to write a revenue bill which would reduce taxation, when the extravagance of the Government will require as much if not more revenue than for the fiscal year just past. It is predicted freely that when the tax revision bill Is written and Introduced in rhe House it simply will be an amateur bungling job like the tariff bill, aud will have to he rewritten by the Senate, just as the Senate is now rewritting the tariST bill. Marty of the peoples' representative* are following the example set by President Harding and are vacationing upon any and all pretexts or not any at ail. It was reported the other day that the point of "no quorum" had to be raised In order to get enough members to adjourn. WAIT LONG TOR I.AW ENACTMENT. While the people wait impatiently to know how much higher the cost of living will be under the Fordney tarifT act. and while business stagnates awaiting tax revision, which should have been made two years ago, they are regaled with this bit of restful optimism from Lancaster. I N. H.. in a speech by their President: j "I would Itke an America where there is some becoming leisure and opportunity for recreation not for just a few people but for a fortunate American people in which all may participate.” Considering the weather, the tariff bill the embryonic tax bill, the charm of' horseback riding, golf and yachting and i the spell of baseball collectively, the motto of the administration Just now could well be. “Nobody Home.'’ Many prominent and influential Re- . publicans in both Houses of Congress, in- ! spired by a desire to serve the public welfare, are rendering valuable service to the Democratic party Just now as as sistant directors of publicity. The reaciionary Republicans of the old guard administration group are also ding the Democratic party good service, but they are doing it blindly and perhaps have no realization of the benefits accurtng to the opposition by reason of their muddling and general display of incapacity. EXPRESSION ON TARIFF DILI..

Among the distinguished Republicans qualifying as assistant dirjetors of publicity for the Democratic party with extracts fro their valuable contributions, are the following: Senator Route Nelson, the venerable Republican chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee—Since the days of the Civil War economic and financial conditions in Europe never have been as they are today; and if you proceed with the tariff bill along the old lines, as the situation was when everything was boom iug and in good order in Europe, 1 fear it wil! be like a kicking gun. Senator Frank R. Gooding of Idaho— The (Fordo-y tariff) bill with this wool schedule is the most vicious and duuger ous measure >Ter passed in the House of Representatives by any political party * * * The Republican party has not given the West a square deal in the tariff laws for a nun Sb-r of years. But unless it does give the West a square deal in the new tariff law it may just as well be understood first as last that It will not receive my support. 1.-; r itivS Oscar H Kelb-r of Minnesota —jnstcad of honestly searching for the best way out of our industrial difficulties, and welcoming the disinterested advice of economists, scientists, engineers, real financiers and experts in various lines, the machinery of Government has been commandeered by a -ittie clique, ignorant of the A. B. C sos Bi onomics. whose blind obedience to Wail street is responsible for the stupid, selfish and short-signed policy that is retarding our prosperity and creating profound distrust and discontent among the people • • • The Ways and Means t'ommittoe has demonstrated its utter unfitness to deal intelligently with the great financial measure on which to a great degree the prosperity of the country depends. RAPS DYE MONOPOLY. Representative Frear of Wisconsin— No invisible Government ever has shown more brazen effrontery than this dye monopoly. We may well be concerned over the power of these dye interests than reach to three Cabinet officers m their effort to perpetuate their present exclusive p..wer in this country. Those who blindly demand impossible thiugs are not helping the situation, end those who demand hasie that will result iu the passage of a hybrid, ill-considered bill lo raise $4,000,000,000 in annual taxes are rendering no public service. Representative J. D. Berk of Wiacon—lf lam to judge of the probable effects of this bill i Fordney tariff bill) becoming a law by the effects of the emergency tarltl law I cannot see muen good In it for any one except the trusts. Representative Charles Underhill of Massachusetts—The tariff bill may not suit you. I cannot say 1 am tickled with it myself. One might go on at great length to quote Republicans, including such distinguished spokesmen as former floor leader Representative Mann of Illinois snd Senators Borah, Norris and others, but the foregoing will suffice. DEMOCRATS WILLING TO KE LIE YE CONDITION.

The passage of the McNary substitute agricultural bill, providing for fiuancing the surplus crops of the farmers through the War Finance Operation, without a roll call In the Senate, was a fulfilment on the part of Democratic senators of the announced purpose of the Democratic party to aid the present Republican Administration in any feasible way to relieve the distressful condition of agriculture. Ordinary circumstances the Democrats could have been relied upon to vote agalnt a measure of this kind almost Solidly, but in a case where relief Is urgent for a great industry threatened with collapse an exception may be made to party policy. A question now uppermost in the minds of the Democratic Senators who hove thus eotne to the rescue of the farmer is: •’Will the Republican tarifT poliry prevent the relief of the farmer provided for In this hill?” Millions of dollars, perhaps a billion, are to he advanced in providing a market abroad for the farmers’ surplus products. These products in time must be paid for. and the Fordney hill in its present shape shuts the foreign producer out of this market while enabling the home manufacturer to profiteer and prey upon other American producers. It Is estimated that 25 per cent of our population is denendent onnn export trace, and agriculture is the greatest natural export industry. Agriculture must have foreign markets to thrive, and export trade is dependent upon Imports.

‘QUEEN OF SHEBA’ AND ‘OVER THE HILLS’ BOOKED For LoeiFs State as a Part of Big Time Movie Policy

Beginning on Sept. 4 next, Loew's State theater will swing into the “big time” by presenting somij of the larger and more important photo plays. According to Manager Walter David the fall and winter season at Loew's will formally begin on the Sunday before Labor Day, when “Way Down East.” the Griffith movie, will be presented for the first time in this city at popular pric-s. Mr. David announces that other b g bookings for the early fall Include Douglas Fairbanks, in “The Three Musketeers:” George Arliss. in “Disraeli. - “Over the Hill,” “A Connecticut Yankee,” “The Queen of Sheba.” Gloria Swanson, in “The Great Moment:" Elsie Ferguson, in “Footlights.” "The Golem,” "The Great Impersonation.” "Ladies Must Live” and "Don ♦. Teti Everything.” For several month? this house has b<en a moving picture theater with the movies and orchestra featured. This policy will be retained at Loew’s. although the fill and winter months will witness many big movie productions at this house. "The Queen of Shelia” comes to Loew's in the late fall because the Fox people have abandoned a pian to send this big movie out as “road tour.’^According to an announcement from the Fox New York offices, the producer has decided to cancel the profitable arrangements made for a road tour of "Queen of Sheba,” the great love spectacle that has met with such splendid success in New York, and release it directly to the public throughout the country iu their home theaters. A road tour of “Queen of Sheba” would have meant that only the bigger cities would have seen this production. I nder the new arrangements, the spectacle will undoubtedly go into every city In the United States and Canada, with a general showing In foreign countries later. This is an exceptional thing for a producer to do, for “Queen of Sheba,” with its massive sets, battle spectacle and great racing scenes cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and could undoubtedly have enjoyed long runs in the larger theaters at top prices. "Queen of Sheba” will be released In addition to twelve other specials that Fox has produced for the public. These include the super-feature "Over the Till 1." which has had practically a year's run on Broadway. New York, and "A Connecticut Yankee in K’ng Arthur's Court,” the Mary Twain classic that has had a six months' stay in the Broadway district. Other specials to be released Include

The Truth About Indianapolis FLOUR A LOAF of bread for every inhabitant in the United States—with a tidy surplus for export—could bo baked from the flour produced by the six mills in Indianapolis in the course of one year. If this flour were placed in barrels, and these barrels crowded as closely together as possible, it would require five and onequarter city blocks to accommodate the supply. There would be 408,941 barrels required for the purpose—enough to make a line extending from Indianapolis to Fort Wayne. Indianapolis-made flour last year had a total retail value of something over $5,700,000.00. Fletcher American National Bank of INDIANAPOLIS Capital and Surplus. $3,000,000.
