74th Congress Adjourns
After a Long Session
THE Seventy-fourth congress ad
journed after a session lasting five
and a half months during which It ap
propriated nearly $10,000,000,000 and
was faced by some unexpected legis
lative complications.
In the closing hours the emergency
tax bill which Is expected to produce
$800,000,000 In revenue was passed.
Supreme court Invalidation of the AAA
and Guffey coal bills and the passage
of the cash soldiers' bonus over the
President's veto upset the budget plans
and made such a bill necessary."
Although it was passed by the house,
the amended Guffey coal bill designed
to remove the objections of the Su
preme court failed of passage In the
senate. Similarly, the Wagner slum
housing bill, which bad passed the sen
ate, failed In the house.
Larger than normal appropriations
for governmental activities were
passed. The bonus, farm payments, re
lief and the greatest national defense
program in peace time history helped
swell the total.
Funds for continuing the present re
lief program were voted; the public
works revolving fund was amended to
permit more heavy construction proj
ects. But congress failed to approve
the Florida ship canal and Passama
quoddy tide dam.
Invalidation of the AAA brought a
revised and expanded soil conservation
and domestic allotment act; the rural
electrification administration and elec
tric farm and home authority were
both placed on a permanent basis; the
Commodity Credit corporation was ex
panded; two flood control bills were
passed. Labor received attention
through the Walsh-Healy bill dealing
"with working conditions on govern
ment contracts. A compromise ship
subsidy bill was rushed through in the
closing hours. Financial leglsl^ion In
cluded expansion of the Jurisdiction of
SEC. important among business legis
lation was the Patman bill amending
the Clayton anti trust act regarding
price discrimination.
A number of Important bills failed
of enactment Among these were the
Pettlngill long and short hauls bill,
stockyard regulation, Frazler-Lemke
farm mortgage bill, and bills on the 30
hour week, extension of the railroad
co-ordlna tor's tenure, anti-war profits,
alien deportation, enlargement of the
federal trade commission's power and
treasury agency service.

essing taxes paid to the govern
ment under the Invalidated AAA was

packing Industry ? Swift and Company,
Armour and Company, Wilson and
Company and the Codahy Packing
company.
Having won back $45,000,000 when
the AAA was declared unconstitutional
by the Supreme court the packing In
dustry has decided to attempt to re
cover from the government more than
$200,000,000 paid before Injunctions

sequent payments Impounded.
The meat packing Industry as a
whole paid a total of $271,000,000 In

accordance with that law were Ille
gally collected and shonld be returned.

WHAT BOBBY COON AND BILLY
MINK DID
Bobby COON and Billy Mink sat on
an old log on the bank of the
Laughing Brook and talked over the
traps Billy Mink had discovered and
what should be done about them.
"Of course," said Billy Mink, "you
and 1 are safe enough. We know ex
actly where those traps are and we
are not going to be so foolish as to get
caught In one of them. But there are
othera who travel up and down the
Laughing Brook who might not discov
er the traps until too late."
Bobby Coon nodded. "Just what I
was thinking," said he. "Bat for yoa,
Billy Mink, I would be In that trap
down there this very minute. It was

Billy Mink, Jumping Up.
stupid of me not to have suspected
that the little opening In that fence
was left purposely to tempt whoever
came along to go throdgh It Instead of
taking the trouble to climb that steep
bank and go around the fence. There
may be others just as stupid. We
ought to do something about It, but
what can we do?"
"Are you afraid to go near that
trap?" demanded Billy.
Bobby scratched his head thought
folly. "How near?" he asked.
"Near enough to get your paw under
It" replied Billy.
"I don't know." replied Bobby.
"What good will that do?"
"Well, you see," replied Billy, "that
trap Is set right In the middle of that
ANNABELLE'S
ANSWERS

DEAR ANNABELLE: WHY DO
WOMEN ALWAYS HOLD THEIR
CHINS WHEN THINKING?
PUZZLED.
Dear "Puixled": PROBABLY
TO STOP THEMSELVES FROM
INTERRUPTING!
little opening jind It has been covered
with wet, dead leave*. Now I know
something about traps. I've seen a lot
of them In my day. If anyone should
step on those wet <!eaves, two steel
Jaws would snap up and grab him by
the leg. But those steel Jaws always
snap up. They can't snap the other
way. If your paw Is underneath the
trap there Is no danger. By doing this
you can lift that trap up so that It will
no longer be covered with those dead
leaves, and whoever comes along will
see It It Isn't safe to try to pull the
leaves oft of It because you might get
caught doing it. If you will do that
to the trap on this side I will do the
same thing to the trap on the other
side of the Laughing Brook. If you're
afraid. Just say so, and I'll take care
of both traps."
Now Bobby Coon was afraid be
came, you see, he bad never bad any
thing to do with traps. But he wasn't
willing to own up that he was afraid.
He knew that If he showed that be was
afraid he never would hear the end of
It, for Billy Mink would be sure to tell
everybody he knew. He thought th?
matter over for a few minutes and
then grunted: "I guess If you can do
it, I can."
"A11 right, let's get busy !" cried
Billy Mink, jumping up. "I don't want
to spend the rest of tbe night sitting
around here."
So Billy Mlok swam across the
Laughing Brook, and Bobby Coon slow
ly shuffled along on his side down to
ward the little fence where the trap
was set.
