Tax Revision Uppermost As Congress Reassembles Situation Presents Many Opportunities for Political Advan tage ami Disadvantage to the Democrats as Well as the Republicans li> DAVID L.UVI(K\(K ICMTrtdil. I >31. ?, Tlx AMMO Washington, January 2 ? Congress reassembles Thursday after nearly two weeks of vacation but if the members used the time to get in touch with their constituents it may be set down as one of the most instructive periods in the history of the pres ent session. ? ' ? "" Little by little the strength of the movement for tax revision is beginning to dawn on the legislators. The first impressions received ? hen Secretary Mellon's tax pro gram was disclosed were an index that the subject had at least attract ed nation-wide attention but 'Con gress is more or less accustomed to the first waves of popular Reeling on National topics. The vital tiling is that there should be a sustained drive which keeps growing instead of diminishing in intensity. Some members think the greatest demon stration of how the people feel on tax revision is yet to come and that both houses will soon discover that they are being tested largely on that issue. Perhaps the most interesting de velopment of the past ten days wjth respect to the tax program has been the division in the ranks of the Democrats. There appears to be a tendency not unusual with a minor ity to allow individual spokesmen to present varying views of Democra tic policy. When Finis J. Garrett, the recognized leader of the Demo crats in the House, issued his first statement saying the Democrats had jg..!,een in favor tax revision and that two Democratic .Secretaries of the Treasury. Messrs. Houston and Glass, had recommended some of the essential features of what Is now f.a"fd J,he Mellon P'?n. it looked as If the Democrats would not obstruct the program. Now, however. -Repre- ' sentative Gam r of Texas, Demo cratic member of the Ways and Means Committee, hast begun an at tack on the administration on the ground That Mr. Melloni""~ichetne. favors the wealthy as a.rilnst the poor. The record shows that what and Houston were willing to do with reference to a re r,1Cli?.nK ?.u lurta5"'8 In con form - u i. . 8ame Pr'nclnie that Mr. Mellon has applied but that a Repub llean Congress refused to follow the suggestions of the I>emocratlc Secre. ' tarles of the Treasury. Mr. Garner's opposition is not con- 1 slstent with Mr. Garrett'p earlier ! statements and the national capital, Is beginning to wSndcr whether thil -)?mo<rats are going to have a case of divided counsels on the tax Issue. Thfre are some Democrats who 1 think it is "poor politics" to place the Democratic party in the position of using one pretext or another to! obstruct, the course of the Mellon tax program. Naturally there are going to be amendments and if the Repub-, llcana should decline to give full con-; slderation to changes suggested bv[ the Democrats they will feel the ad verse effects of such action political-, ly. The question of whether the ! amendments are constructive or de- ? ?tructlve will have to be decided by the people themselves on the basis of comments from both sides. The' strategy of Mr. Garrett, the leader of the minority, tias been to place _M? party In a favorable position during the early stages of the de-1 bate so that when the opportune mo-! ment arrived some credit would ac- 1 crue to the Democrats for having I suggested worth while changes in the bill. His tactics are not unlike those pursued by the Republicans when a constructive measure like the I Federal Reeerve Act was before Con ! vress. The Republicans did not op only opposeThe bill though most of them voted against It on the last roll call] but a goodly number, among them Senator Root and Sena tor Weeks of MassaChusetta, made a sincere effort to get Into the hill cer taln amendments, and the concens&s of opinion afterwards was thst the meaaure was strengthened by the changes. The administration tax program Is not an exact parallel but It la the one measure slnc^e the war on which public opinion seems to have cen tered and the chances of earning po litical disfavor by blocking It are al most aa great as the opportunities for political credit In helping put a constructive tax program through Congress. Every day the momentum behind the bill becomes greater? and when Congress gets down to work this week the tax program will occupy llrst place In the minds of the na tional leglalatora.

Coming after, the week of United l'ray^r, the j day will be of particular signi'.kcance. | I The call points out that the bene-1 ficent results of prohibition laws are j marked and overwhelming, and that! there Is a widely organized and {highly financed propaganda for their ? nullification. It bears the title "A | Call to a Natonal Day in Behalf ot Law and Order": It is addressed to "all clergy, pastors, ministers, mis sionaries. officers of allied Christian 1 societies, and to the Jewish bodies." i The call is a& follows: ??'In response to the resolutions - passed by the Clt'zenship Conference j held in Washington. D. C.. October ' 13. 14 and 15. and In further com | pllance wTth the Instructions of the | Executive Conimitte of the Citizens Comuiitte ot One Thousand. I am (authorized to ask you most earn estly to give the fullest possible re cognition in religious services end exercises upon Sunday. January' 13. to the questions related to the highest usefulness of the Eighteenth] Amendment and the enforcement of! the Volstead Act. "This Sunday will be known as Anniversary Sunday, marking the close of three full years since these laws became efPective. The Vom- j mittee and the Conference were led to request this observance not only as a fitting tribute to this greatest social, moral achievement of the generation but also in view of the following: "First, the beneficent results of prohibition are so marked and over whelming that the Christian churches and religious rganizations. have a right to observe this day as one of thanksgiving to Almighty God. "Second, We are living in the pre sence of a widely organized and' highly financed propaganda which has for its purpose the nullification { of these laws upon the basis of wide spread violation. ^Many of the reports art? proven to be grossly misstated, but the Hltuation is serious and de mands the prom|it arousement of public opinion that- there may come larger co-operation in preserving these laws. "Thirtl. These taws are the specific child of the Christian Church aud religious institutions and the present attack upon them constitutes an in dictment of the strength and power of organized religion. Therefore, for the sake of a day of thanksgiving as well as a day in which the Christian institutions may recover the real for enforcement which they originally had for enact ment, I take pleasure in asking you to exercise your good office to the largest degree in this observance, and express the further hope that you and those with whom you are asso ciated will share with all the believer* \ in God in continual prayer for the j full triumphant victory for the cause of prohibition, orderly government 'and genuine religion."

Then Black-Draught was advertised aad we heard of it "1 began to taxe Black-Draught, and have used it, when needed, ever siace. I use Black-Draught now in my home, and certainly recommend it for any liver trouble. "I have given it a thorough trial, and after thirty years can say Black-Draught is my stand-by. It has saved me many sick spells." Mr. Cromer writes that he is "never out of Black-Draught," and says several of his neighbors prefer it to any other liver medicine. "I always recommend Black-Draught to my friends," he adds. This valuable, old, powdered liver medicine is prepared from medicinal roots and herbs, and has none of the bad effects so often observed from the use of calomel, or other powerful mineral drugs.

It identifies for her a certain product as being standard, so that she may easily dodge the wiles of sellers who try to sell something that is not so good. It fixes merit as an averlasting adjunct to certain articles. It makes her know that the manufacturer who is proud of his product and jealous of his reputation and character cannot do otherwise than make his product at least as good s he says it is. More than likely it is lietter. Advertising points out where this greatest buyer hi all the worldV history may find quality goods by show ing her pictures of them over and over again which enables her to recognise them easily and quickly.
