CONGRESS’ ONLY ACTION MAY BE SLASH IN TAXES Party Divisions Make Disposition of Most Questions Nearly Impossible* ' By Paul B. Mallon United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. With the opening of Congress there is only one question assured of disposal before summer adjournment and that is tax reduction. ' The world court, farm relief, railroads, coal, shipping and tariff legislation. Muscle Shoals and prohibition are caught in a maelstrom of varying opinions that makes final action upon them uncertain if not outright impossible. A check-up of committee chairmen and leaders of the various phases of sentiment upon each of the vital questions awaiting solution _ shows the following situation: Tax Bill to Pass TAX REDUCTION: The bill, drawn by the House Ways and Means Committee involving most of the Mellon plan will be passed by the House before Christmas, but a fighting Senate is waiting to tear it to pieces. Debate in the Senate may extend into the summer and what shape the bill will be in when it finally passes no one can say. Some sort of a bill, probably a compromise between the present House measure and the Senate proposals will be adopted. FARM RELIEF: The administration’s bill to extend co-operative marketing aid through the Department of Agriculture has a majority although the farm bloc criticises it as insufficient and will fight for a substantiation measure. It is uncertain as to what will be done, although the administration bill has an even chance of passing. WORLD COURT: The Senate expects to adopt a resolution authorizing adherence by the nation to the international court, but the irreconcilables threaten to amend the resolution so as to divorce the court from the League of Nations. Just how far these amendments go in "divorcing” will determine the effectiveness of the project. Some sort of resolution is expected to pass. COAL: The Board bill, authorizing President Coolidge to appoint commissions in times of emergency to 1 govern the industry, will be introduced just as it was last session, but action upon it is doubtful pending developments in the present coal strike. Tariff Attack Looms TARIFF: The farm bloc is planning an attack on the tarriff if no ; farm relief measure suitable to them is enacted. It appears extremely unlikely, however, that any revision ,of the present law will be made. RAILROADS: The Cummins plan of railroad consolidation, sanctioned by President Coolidge, -will be brought forward and has an even ■ chance of passing. It is probable that no other railroad legislation will be considered. PROHIBITION: Wets and drys plan a bigger fight than last year ! over appropriations and enforcement. No revision will be made in 1 the present law. The Andrews plan will be discussed. WATERWAYS: Possibility of action on the proposal for purchase of Cape Cod Canal, development of the St. Lawrence waterways and building of Boulder canyon dam have little chance of final action. SEEK BOOKS~FOR~HOME Wives of Mystic Tie Masonic Lodge members have started a drive : to secure one thousand books for a , library at the Franklin (Ind.) Masonic Home. An effort will be made to have the books ready Dec. 14, to be delivered for Christmas. Mrs. Edgar T. Shaneberger and Mrs. John C. Henley are in charge. QUARRELS; TAKES POISON Mrs. Ada La Page of 303 W. Vermont St., is in city hospital today suffering from the effects of poison, self-administered Saturday in an attempt to end her life. Police said that Leo Da Page, her husband, said she took the poison after a domestic quarrel.

COOLIDGE FOR FARMER CO-OPS (Continued From Page 1) bodying his principles, he said, for congressional action this session. The President opposed the pro posal for government corporations which would directly <r indirectly fix prices or buy and serf farm products because, he said, they would create bureaucracy, destroy cooper-, atives and the ianners’ independence and stimulate over-production ending in “complete collapse.’ Elaborate statistics were produced by the President to show that the present tarriff rates benefit the farmers and should not be revised. Adverse Cost Small "The total adverse cost to the farmer on account of the tarriff is only between 2 per cent and 3 per cent of his purchases. "On the other side, protection is a great benefit td agriculture as a whole. The $780,000,000 of agricultural produce imported last year had to pay $260,000,000 for the privilege of coming in to compete with our own farm production. "Protection greatly aids diversification and eliminates unprofitable surplus. Any study of dairy products, flax, wool and many other commodities will demonstrate that it does.” Urges lans In aiding industry the present tarriff helps agriculture because "prosperity in our' industries Is of more value to the farmer than the whole export market for foodstuff,” he added. of in tariff revision and price fixing, the President saw hope in the farm loan and intermediate credit banks, which have loaned $1,200,000,000 at moderate rates to 350,000 farmers, and in cooperative marketing. "For a more orderly marketing calculated to secure a better range of prices in cooperative movement promises the greatest success,” he said. "Already they are' .handling $2,500,000,000 of farm produce, or nearly one-fifth of the annual production. Agriculture Should I^ead "Unless all past experience is to be disregarded, notwithstanding its present embarrassments, agiiculture as a whole should lead Industry in futhre prosperity," Coolidge concluded. “There have been discussions which seem to indicate some fear that our agriculture is becoming decadent and that it already has reached its Ugliest point and that, becoming unprofitable, it is likely to diminish. Nothing In the appearance of the country or of itp people as I have traveled over it has seemed to indicate any deterioration nor do I find anything in the farm census and reports that warrants this conclusion.”
