Many Senate Investigat-ona.

The senate as it is viewed here no longer is a legislative body. It ha« t.eoome almost wholly an Investigating body. It has seven or eight investigations on Its bands today, most of them instigated by a desire of this and I (roup or that group, this bloc or that 1 bloc, or this or that larger group t# make public its suspicion that somebody or other possibly may have done something wrong. This kind of Investigation hat been going on in (vwigreas ever sln*~e the legislators first met. Frequently they have resulted in nothing but a l*sa *f time

sad money.

The difficulties la toe way of legislative progress at the present session are Increased materially by the fact that this la a presidential nomination and a presidential election yedr. Politics plus investigations plus the fact that no party has a majority that it can count upon are placing rocks in the road. The wonder probably i* not that Nicholas Longworth. the leader of the Republicans in the house, is accomplishing so little, but that be Is accomplishing as much as he is with the conditions that confront him and

almost daily confoand him.

There seems to be no reason today to change opinion that finally Longworth will succeed in effecting some kind of tax legislative compromise which will secure for a tax reducing bill the sanction of the house and ultimately get the approval of the

President, provided, of course.

Waste lathe rcau:! of imsdireoec er.e-jy. fc, like dirt—matter out of place. The hlircry of o^ndard Oil Company flndaai) success may be summed up in two words Indus, tnal H tabandry'’ which is another war of mr.zi ‘ Eliminating Waxte.” In a big organization auch ax the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) there are innumerable oppor. tun.nes to waxte time, effort and mareral By intensified orgar.aanon, by provicirg proper facilities, abundant raw materu.i pieisant work, ing conditions, and by encouraging r ratne—Js* Company makes it possible for e*. cry man in a employ to develop the best there is in h:m and to conclusively prove his worth by hi» achievement! Through intensive study and erter s ve resend a-.d experiments, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has found ways to recover more than j score of useful products from waste — procucs that fi 1 a definite place in the commercial or domestic affairs of mankind.

Time was when gasoline was waste in the petr> leum industry. Today, it is the ma; or procua Perhaps the outstanding example of Scindaif Oil Company (Indiana) achievements, in ednv. inating waxte, is in the increased yield of gasoline per barrel of crude made possible by r*:<esai discovered and developed in its laooraronet This achievement is the greater because of tfc imperative urge for more gasoline. In 1918 there were 6,146,617 cars ard trich registered in the United States. In 1922 diet were 12,239,114—or an increase of nearly lOO^ In 1918 the industry produced 326 miTta barrels of crude, as against 501 million barrel, a 1922—an increase of only 53^ plus. Statistics show that while less than 10 filial of gasoline were recovered per barrel of crude a 1918 that the industry increased the yield to mat than 12 gallons per barrel in 1922.

This Increased yield was due largely to ds process as developed by this Company, and **i out such an increased yield the price of gaiolji unquestionably would be higher. Thus does the war on waste, waged io mats tively by the Standard Oil Company fIncan), redound to the lasting benefit of mankind and lia enable the Management of this Company to pa a satisfactory accounting of its stewardsb.p lo ie stockholders now numbering 45,286, morcdui 11,000 of whom are employes.

training. General Harries has told of a regiment which received replacements shortly before a two days’ engagement, adding 400 men to its roll of 3.300; and 81 per cent of its killed ! wounded were found to have been .; om those 400 inexperienced replacements. Another regiment came out of the Argonne with 50 per cent casualties, filled up with replacements, and went into the Lys battle in Flanders, where the casualties among the new replsf-ements were Just double thoae among the men of longer service." General Harbord in Ms address told some interesting things about the examination of the 22.000 peace plans ! which were submitted in the Bok prize contest. He said that about 4.000 of the plana dealt with entrance into the Lee rue of Nations in one form or another; but over 3.300 contestants rest'd their hopes on conference of some . kind, and that 3.000 were concerned with confidence that peace would come through some form of world court, while a thousand other? were to the *"ect that the Golden Rule or a fixed • dsv for prayer would bring the de-

! fired result

In commenting on one phase of the contest the general said that the sterility of the greater part of the re- | malnder of the plans is shewn by the I fari that the suggestions ranged from . a “world congress of musician*. ; through relativity, scientific research, to mobilization of the girl sconts." He said that several of the planners submitted hirth control as a plan which would bring lasting peace.

passed a hill which will allow certain cattle oace driven across the line in Mexico to escape the drought to return into this country duty free. Probably this speedy achievement will be one of the legislative acts to which the pointing finger of pride will be directed in the coming campaign. It Is said that President Csolldge Is unperturbed by the slowness of things on Capitol hill. He realizes probably that the political party of which he is the nominal head cannot do much In the house so long as certain members of it refuse to stay on the reservation. It may be that President Coolidee sees In obstructive tactics a certain element of strength for his own position on matters of legislation, for generally silent as he is. he has spoken his mind freely upon the matter of the things that he wants done j and things he wants to be left un-

done.

Not many years ago one session of congress continued until it expired bv limitation of law. to be succeeded Immediately by the seconcTsesslon of the same congress. In other words, congress remained In session until noon of the first Monday in IVcember and the second session began the Instant that tbe first session ended. To all 1 effect or purpose there was one ses-! sion of congress to last from Decern-' her of one year until March fourth of I the second year thereafter. It Is perhaps unfair to discredit! congress certainly this year, with a da-nothing spirit. The trouble is that some of the members want to do something quickly one way while other members want to do the same thing quickly another way. In the house this year It is not so much a desire to take thing- easy as it Is a desire not to let the other fellow have his

way.
