Washington. Feb. 1 While
there are many questions to
rome before this Congress on
v hich there will be sharp differ
ences between the Administration
forces and the already well-or-
R a'nized Coalition Opposition,
there is a great mass of work
ahead on which there will be lit
tle or no controversy.
To do all that must be done
before this first session of the
76th Congress adjourns probably
will keep Senators and Repre
sentatives busy until well past
midsummer, though some of the
things Mch must be attended to
call for action before then.
There is a great list of laws
which expire by the limitations
written into them, some of which
must be renewed this Spring if
the purposes for which they were
enacted are to be continued.
For example, the authority of
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration to make loans to states
and municipalities to aid in fi-
Beware Coughs
from common colds
That Hang On
No matter how many medicines
you have tried for your common
cough, chest cold, or bronchial irri
tation, you may get relief now with
Creomulslon. Serious trouble may
be brewing and you cannot afford
to take a chance with any remedy
less potent than Creomulslon. which
goes right to the seat of the trouble
and aids nature to soothe and heal
the inflamed mucous membranes
and to loosen and expel germ
laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Creomul
slon. Your druggist is authorized to
refund your money if you are not
thoroughly satisfied with the bene
fits obtained. Creomulslon is one
word, ask for it plainly, see that the
name on the bottle is Creomulslon,
and youH get the genuine product
and the relief you want. (Adv.)

nanclng projects under local laws
expires on March 20, this year.
Since this Is generally regarded
as one of the soundest phases of
Government financing there Is
little doubt that the authority
will be renewed for another year
or more, but Congress will have
to act quickly.
At the end of June the Recon
struction Finance Corporation it
self goes out of business unless
Congress renews its charter by
that time.
On the same date the Federal
Reserve System loses its author
ity to issue Federal Reserve notes
against government bonds, unless
Congress acts.
Other Powers Expire
At the end of the Federal fiscal
year, which is June 30, other
powers and authorities which ex
pire by limitation include that of
the FHA to insure rehabilitation
loans, and the guarantee by Gov
ernment of FHA debentures; the
authority of the U. S. Housing
Administration to issue 500 mil
lions of bonds; and the existence
of the Federal Service Commodi
ties Corporation.
More important than any of
the foregoing is the necessity for
this session of Congress to enact
a new revenue law or reaffirm
the present one so far as it re
fers to taxes on corporations; for
the law passed last year specifies
that the corporation income
taxes for which it provided shall
not apply to any corporate fiscal
year ending after Dec. 31. 1939.
The whole tax question is likely
to take up a great deal of the
time of Congress. It will be easier
to handle, in one respect, since
for the first time in sixty years
all of the Federal tax laws have
been codified, indexed, classified
and printed in a single volume.
Heretofore there have arisen at
every session questions as to what
the existing tax laws really are,
whether a previous CongTess re
pealed this or that tax provision,
and nobody, not even the tax ex
perts of the Treasury, could give
a final answer without going
through dozens and scores of
books and records.
Record of Laws
The other day a bill which no
member has ever read passed
both houses of Congress, without
an opposing vote. It was about
the longest bill ever passed by
Congress, running more than 500
printed pages. It was the Federal
THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA
Tax Code, which now sets forth
In legal form precisely what the
tax laws are, so that members
considering changes in the laws
can refer to a particular page
and section of the Code and ev
ery other member will know just
what it is all about.
Expert lawyers employed by
Congress and by the Treasury
and the Department of Justice
worked out the Code and checked
it and re-checked it, so it may be
taken as a complete and accurate
compendium of all the legislation
now in force on the subject of
taxes.
The Treasury's foremost expert
on tax matters, Herman Oli
phant, died unexpectedly during
the Christmas holidays, and no
one as well qualified has yet been
found to replace him. He was
considered to know more about
tax legislation than any other
man In Washington.
The Opposition forces in Con
gress are allowing their strength
by opposing some of the Presi
dent's appointments.
Notioe was served on the Presi
dent that the Senate would not
confirm the reappointment of
Donald Wakefield Smith as a
member of the National Labor
Relations Board, and Mr. Roose
velt has withheld Mr. Smith's
name, leaving a vacancy on the
Board. Several Federal judges
appointed during the Congres
sional recess are still awaiting
confirmation, and some . lively
fights are anticipated.
Battle Over Am lie
The hottest battle so far be
tween the Administration and
Congress is over the President's
appointment of Thomas R. Am
lie, former Representative from
the First Wisconsin district, as a
member of the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
Mr. Amlie served in Congress
as a member of the Progressive
Party. The Republicans carried
Wisconsin last fall, and defeated
Mr. Amlie for Senator. The va
cancy on the Interstate Com
merce Commission is caused by
the death of a Republican mem
ber of that bipartisan board.
There is considerable resent
ment in Congress over the selec
tion of a Progressive to replace a
Republican, but the fire was fan
ned into flame when the Legisla
ture of Wisconsin, by an almost
unanimous vote, adopted a reso
lution protesting to the President

against the Amlie appointment,
and requesting the Wisconsin
Senators to oppose his confirma
tion.
Charges that Mr. Amlie is a
Communist sympathizer have
been openly made on the floor of
Congress.
One of the widely-heralded
measures which is not likely to
get through this Congress is the
Patman Anti-Chain-Store law.
Well-informed members of both
houses are expressing doubt that
it will even get out of committee.
