In Union Of Conservatives Is Republicans' Only Hope Coalition Government liv a I'u*ion of Conservatives of Rotl Parties Seems Sole Means l?y Which Any Legislative Program Can lie Put Through Congress lly It.Wllt MWRKVTK (Copyright. 1923. By The Atfvanct) Washington. December :5? Coalition government ?? nev line-up of conservatives from the Republican and Democrat) parties as against the radical groups?is the only possible \va; out of the chaos in which Conirress finrfs itself inHnv 1 he legislative program will either be a fizzle due to dead locks and insurgency or else a temporary fusion of Demo crats and Republicans will be made necessary on major' questions Congress has In fore it a number of important ta>k* which ordinarilv would occupy the act* ntiou of both houses for more than a year. Ob vloukly much <?r the program will not even be touched but it is too early to be sure or what will be given i?rl-l ority. At present writing the following' would seem to be the principal items on the program: w?tF*rsl' f usu?l appropriation! bills. These will provoke many con troversirs especially since on effort will be made to cut even further the estimates of expenditures hy the ex-' ecutive departments. Second. Tax revision. There Is unanimity on the, proposal to reduce J the taxes of persons of incomes !>e-! low $10,000. This cannot be done, however, without providing revenue to take the place of the amounts lost, by reducing smaller incomes. To ob tain the new revenue, the Treasury declares surtaxes should be cut. The radicals think surtaxes should he re tained at the present scale and oth-! er levle8_made besides such as excess profits iax?'s. There is a disposition to increase the rate on inheritance taxes. Third. Treaties before the Senate. The general and special claims con-' ventlon negotiated with Mexico will encounter little oppostion but al-' ready there are evidences that a one' third bloc will endeavor to prevent the ratification of the proposed rum pact with Great Britain, when by i British ships can bring into Ameri can ports liquor uudt v seal and Am erican coast guard vessels can pur-i aue rum runners flying the British i flag for 12 miles out. The "wets" will line up against this treaty as well as many senators who think the American Merchant Marine will be' put at a disadvantage. Then there are also the senators who think the constitution cannot be superseded by' a treaty of this kind and that the de cision of supreme court of the Unit -1 ed States recently announced would, be contradicted by the treaty. It's' a legal point on which authorit.es differ. The total opponents may be sufficient to block ratification as two-thirds are necessary to udopt the pact. There may be a fight also on the proposed tfeaty^vith Turkey |e gotiated at Lausnnn<> as the sympa thizers with the Greeks are liningI up against it. Fourth. The World court pro-j posal may never come out of the Sen ate Foreign Relations Committee but1 if it does it will start a lengthy fight. I Senator Lodge, Republican leader,' would like to bury it in committee.) He may succeed unless the Demo-' crats make a motion to discharge the committees. Fifth. Kfforts will be marie to amend the Transportation Act to Ob tain the repeal of the Bo-called "guarantee" clause, but the chances at present are that the move will not; succeeed as the combination of con-! eervatlves can prevent it. Sixth. Immigration legislation ls| always on the calendar though this| time there will be .. pressure bothl from the people who want the law amended to admit more aliens and those who want it restricted and measures taken abroad to keep un desirables from emigrating. This is not a party question but It Is liable to be lost In the shuffle of partisan disputes. Seventh. Legislation to prevent a recurrence of the troubles experi enced In the Veterans l)urc>au will be Insisted upon by the American Le gion. Of all the bills to come before Congress this has the best chance of approval unless it is tied up with the bonus which Mr. Coolidge would probably veto. Eighth. Muscle Shoals will be ft constant Issue as the demnnri of the farmers for cheaper fertilizer is something which neither party can afford to ignore. Ultimately n plan of government operation will be i pressed unless the scheme for! amending the Ford offer meets the! approval of the Detroit automobile' king. Ninth. Prohibition will furbish aj number of the interesting debates but the outlook would seem to be unfavorable to any proposal looking toward the immediate modification ' Of the Volstead Act. Tenth. Presidential politics will j permeate the session on both sides of! Fruit Cake A fresh shipment of delicious Sun shine Fruit Cake Just received. Made with Klaied pineapple. cherries, figs and many other kinds ot fruits an 1 nuts. Main Street Grocery Phone 635 Knicks Knickers have become the garb of tho Indian maidens of the Passa maquoddy tribe, on the east Maine coast, near Eastport. Tho style was set by 1'rincCM Susan Nep tune, 18 (above;. Agrd Suffrage Worker Ewapwl Injury in Jhiuiiicho Knrtbquake Tokio, Doc. 4?.One of those who escaped bodily harm in the Japan ese earthquake and fire was Ma dame Kajiko Yajima, the 90-year old suffragn advocate and president of the Japanese Christian Women's Tempt-rance Society. After her home had been damage by the earthquake she was removed by girls to the residence of Marquis kurods, when she was obliged to hrcnttse of firo, to the First Regiment barracks. Later she was assisted to the Woman's Refuge Home. Mine. Yajima represented Japan at the International conference of the Woman's Temperance Union in the United States in 19u6. the politlo.il aisle an the maneuvering for delegates has already begun. So a I ho will the Democratic party play the usual minority game about which the Republicans In past years have taught them so much, a game of ob struction on so-called party measures ?but Indications are that this will not bo permitted to imperil tax reduction or the bills for the Veterans Bureau or immigration reform. Connrens probably will hardlv pet started before the Chlrstmas holi days nnd the real battle will come after the first of the year. I.ION HEADQUARTERS ARE NOW AT CHICAGO Chicago.
