Washington, February II.? Somewhere the money has got to be found to pay the bonua and to nay for whatever farm bounties l may be decided on. Everybody at both end* of Pennsylvania Avenue agrees that that is so. The dif ference of opinion between the White House and the Capitol is as to where the money Is coming from. The President's inclination is to say to Congress "You got us Into thiB mess by passing the bonus over my veto; now its up to you fellows to find the money to pay tt with." Mr Roosevelt has been talking recently about the necessity of new taxes and It becomes more apparent from day to day that the Administration is becoming firm In its determination to put the financial affairs of the nation on m solid a basis as possible. At the other end of the Ave mue. however, the boys on Capitol Hill Just don't want to vote any kind of new taxes in an election year That Is the reason for the renewal of loud Inflationary talk. A year ago it would have been tuite possible, given similar cir cumstances. for a greenback mea sure, to have got through both Houses ot Congress even over Presidential veto. The prospect of inflation has been so widely discussed, since then, and the general public reac tion against it (has become ho evident, that it Is no* now likely that anything of the kind will be attempted. Congress Han Tax Problem As good a guess as any Is that the President will recommend new taxes to yield close to a billion dollars a year, and that Congress will not vote all of thera. There Is a feeling that an excise lax on processors of agricultural pro. ducts to take the place of the AAA taxes would have a bad reaction from consumers In cities, but It is a pretty safe guess that some thing of this sort will be enacted. What Congress would like to do would be to find some way of putting more taxes on business without railing consumer prices. There is talk about higher excess profits tax on corporations 'and Increasing intercorporate dividend taxes. The President is expected to urge new inheritance taxes, but that Congress will adopt them :s doubtful. Much more talk is heard of a general manufacturer's sales tax. and that is entirely possible. One of the latest plans being seriously discussed is for a law to legalise lotteries and put a heaty tax on them. That appeals to a ,ood many of the city members, but the rural districts are suppob ed to be against it On theot*? Sand, many members from the West and South favor the liquor taxes, to which the ck> representatives are opposed. Somewhere along the line, how ever, a billion dollars more than has been provided for must be j found, and the Administration de finitely dr.es not want to have to j do any more important borrowing | Federal Reserve Board The personnel of the new Fed eral Reserve Board is generally regarded as being satisfactory even to such critics as Senator Glass, who has buried the hatchet in his feud with Chairman Eccles Mr. Eccles' Influence at the White House is steadily increas- f Ing. The President relies upon him in financial matters almost \ as much as he does upon Secre tary Morgenthau, and both Mr. Eccles and Mr. Morgenthau are determined that there shall be no Inflationary movements so far as the Treasury and the Federsl Re serve System can control of the monetary situation. Politically, the current discus sion Is about the calm, analytical and liberal tone of the speech i made by Governor Landon, of Kansas, which contrasts sharplj with some of the more abusive and belligerent utterances on both sides of the political fence. Gov. Landon, who now Bays that he prefers to be called "Alfred" in. Stead of Just plain "Alf," has made - a very decided impression among some of the Republicans. So far he has not been vigorous enough in his partisanship to please the Old Guard leaders of the OOP. They like htm better, however, than they do either Sen ator Borah or Senator Vanden berg, while the Democrats of the Liberty League school are Inti mating that they might be Inclin ed to throw whatever strength they have to the Republican Party It Landon were the nominee. The Borah Speech Senator Borah also made an ex cellent Impression by his Brook lyn speech, but political experts still refuse to believe that he is a serious contender for the Pre sidency. He is looked upon as a stalking horse for Senator Vand enberg. The real struggle In the Repub lican National Convention, which becomes more and more apparent, will be between the Old Guard and the liberal element, which con. tains a strong nucleus of the old Teddy Roosevelt-LaFollette Pro gressive movement of years ago With this situation In the Repub lican Party, and a spilt In the De mocratic Party, some of the more hopeful political idealists are talk ing about a complete new align ment. with perhaps even the change of party names. In theory that sounds all right, but the more practical political observers point out that there are some 20,000,000 voters, pretty nearly equally divided between the two parties, who are wedded to the old party names and who would not be happy at all under such a new line up. And each party. naturally wants to hold that solid backbone of votes In line at any cost.

An inteusive newspaper adver tising campaign d-signed to des cribe the far reaching and num. eroui advantages to Its patrons of the new. free pick-up and delivery service for less than carload freight shipments has been in augurated throughout the south eastern states by the Seaboard Air Line Railway. The new service became effective February 9th. Previous to the r.doption of this plan it was necessary for shippers and receivers of freight to take their shipments to the railroad freight station, and call there for incoming shipments. Now. the Seaboard organization assumes full charge of the complete job ? having trucks collect the ship fents at shippers' doors, take them fo the freight station for transfer to Seaboard freight trains, and then deliver by truck to the specified door at destination. An added feature of this new Seaboard plan is the allowance of five cents per hundred pounds to consignors or consignees who prefer to do their own hauling to and from the Seaboard station. C.O.D. shipments are also in cluded in this new plan. This makes, possible for shjppers tho carrying on of cash business trans actions at practically every point' in the country. The Seaboard has long been noted for its progresslveness in: providing its own people ? the peo ple of the South ? with the finest i in transportation. Tills serv-| ice follows that well established, precedent, and places the Sea-; board organization at a person's command by a mere phone call to the Seaboard agent or repre_ sentative.
