Policies Of President I Get Support i > 1 **. (.Special to Tlie Journal) Washington, D. Jan. 27.? One I of the most interesting turns gossip is | taking these days is as to how strong jly President Hoover's ]K>lieies arc i being adopted by Congress, hostile j though the Lower House seems to bfi I oil account of its Democratic major ity, which is, large enough now to I be extremely effective, although not | powerful enough to override a Pres idential veto. I * ' ! Up to now there lias been a Jot of italk by Congressmen who have been I attempting to seize the reins of Gov ernment. They have not hesitated to I challenge the motives of men placed in the highest positions but, so far, they have , been unable to produce anything to warrant the removal from otfice of any of the men at tacked* They appear to be taking out their auimus in conversation, mean while falling in behind the President, and enacting many of the measures favored by him into law.C ) > \ P^rhapis the most important action takfix by Congress so far has been the passage of (he two billion dollar rc eoi;.?t ruction finance coloration measure, designed to absorb frozen ^cniritiey .how in the hands of in surance companies, \ banking institu tions, building and loan securities, railroad:. and agriculture, this bill is the pet project of th:> President and is expected to make immediately j available not only the amount sj>e<i ; fied in the bill, but an equal or grer.ter amount "of money that will be freed by the rodta^tion in the fi nancial tension. Til'.* Democratic bloc warmly sup-j ported the measure, in spite of the i fact that a lot of cledit for its pass age will naturaljjy go to Mr. Hoover tor his spons%rship of the bill. The J President 'ha* plainly 8(ate<f' that he j vft! hof ixSc the % l>ill for political' capital in" the impending Presidential j campaign, admitting that its passage ' is due to heavy support from the op posing party. He is also taking advantage of the compliance of the Democrats in urg ing his ether main projects, most of whicbu are designed ^ > reduce Gov ernment expenses. Afp. business man h? has long opposed present setup j of the Government':) various bureaus: and will attempt to consolidate all bureaus that are overlapping. It is likely that both the President and Congress will have a big fight on their haifts from nearly all govern inenta] bureaus in their attempts toj consolidate (hem and cut ml tape. Mr; Hoover appreciates this fact, as ho declared in his mesagsc to Con gress that he did not expect tho men who would be lopped off tin; Federal payroll to take it without protest, in any event, attempts to lop unnec-j essary employees off the payroll will j ho made this spring. The light par-| allels one in which President Cleve-j land forced by the Civil Service Bill, ' taking many of the bureaus out of politics for the first time. His battle with the entrenched employees iy still remembered keenly by all older students of practical ]>ohtics. While there is no question that the iicmocratic Tarty is even now jubi lant over its prospects for success in the coming campaign, the old Re publican warhorses are not turning 1 a hair. I nsfceaU, they have revived an old maxim which says thnt the "Dem ocrats always win in September." In the last . sixteen Presidential campaigns the Democrats have wou ?exactly four time#, Cleveland and Wilson each winning twice. Jn prac tically nil of the other twelve cam paigns, the Democrats appeared to have victory sewn up three months before the ballots were cast. On the question of candidates the Democrats arc still in a bad position. Sentiment has fuiled so far o coalesce around any particular man, a fact that is of immense value to Mr. Hoover, who cannot be (teemed to have even a rivai for the Republican nomination. One prediction being made is that the coming election will see a total of at least fifty million votes cast and that the winner will go in with a tremendous vote. In 1928 there were 36,000,000 votes cast, about half iof the estimated "number of legal voters who are qualified to vote for Pres ident. Democrats Start Drive For Victory ? i i The Democratic Victory Drive, for funds with which to pay up the de ficit in the treasury of the National Democratic Executive Committee, aud to provide money with which to op orate, lias been initiated in Jackson County, with ETD. Hooper, of East La porte, as county chairman. The plan in this county is to ask for contributions of 1.00 each from the interested Democrats of the county; " ' . The township ch?irmefi of the drive a& appofntod by Mr. Hooper are: Cashier's Valley, T. A. Dillard, Hamburg. H. C. Moss; Mountain, .1. II.

Similar campaigns are being wag ed throughout the United States, and it is believed that with small con ri buttons from the rank and file of the Democratic party, that the de ficit can be wiped out, and the party gw to the National Convention in Chicago, out of debt, and in fight ing hunikor, ready and able to wage an aggressive campaign to carry the count ry .. next November.

"Everywhere I go I find an over whelming desire to have you back in the White House, Mr. Coolidge," my informant said to him. "You really ought to run for President again." Mr. Coolidge shook his head, with a faint smile. "Xo," he said, "It won't do. The basis of that idea is all wrong. They all want k get rich again." . Which confirms mv long held be lief that Calvin Coolidge has about as sound common sense and> as keen an understanding of popular psychol ogy as any living American. Hoover I think there has been a noticcablc change in the .public attitude toward Mr. Hoovei m the past month. At least, I hear less abuse of the Pres ident and more expressions of sym pathy. People? arc realizing that he has been unfairly blamed for condi tions for whieh he was not respons ible, and now that he has presented a sound snd complete rehabilitation program to Congress, and Congress, has started off by accepting it, I .hear less talk about his suppospd in action in the face of a serious crisis. I have not seen the President for several months, hut friends who have I talked with him lately ?av that he acts tuid talks like a man who had found: the answers to problems that ?ad been baffling him. Washing tun's favorite indoor sport is lying about the President, who ever the President may happen to be. Mr. Hoover has suffered from more than his share of misrepresentation, but he has acquired the philosophical attitude of most of his predecessors, whe learned'' not to let pin pricks worry them. Unemployment . The town oL Poak^kill, as a pert of its plan to raise lands for the relief of the unemployed, put tin boxes at every eating place in town and asked everybody to drop! one cent in the box before each meal. The surprising result is a fund which runs to $1,500 a week. More important than raising money for the unemployed, it seems to rnc, is making sure that this money does not go to i>eople who could get jobs, ! but who will not take them. The other night in a hotel elevator I heard two men talking. "Thero were forty-two jobs at $6 a day," said one of them. "The unem ployment bureau sent us fifty men and thirty- six of them refused to work because they would get their hands <lirty." They said they could get money from the unemployment fund to live on and they would rath er do that than do "dirty'' work. There is no doubt in ray mind that, in the cities at least, a large part of the money which kind-hearted peo pLo have contributed to help the un employed is heitig spent to keep in j idleness nien who could easily find work if they w>ere not what Down Easters coll "choosy." Doctors Doctors, like everybody else, are not finding it easy to meet their ob ligations or collect thefr bills these days. Too many people think that the doctor can wait until everybody else has been paid. The American Sfcdical Association has been making a survey of doctors' incomes and reports that it takes al together aboul ten years in college I ond hospital work and getting a prac tice established before the average doctor begins to earn enonph to live on. The next ten years, or a large part of it, his surplus has to go to pay for the cost of his medical train ing. Very few doctors get to the point of independence in less than twenty years after starting their medical studies. Even* doctor has to do, and does do, a certain amount of charity work. Those who can afford to pay have less excuse for postponing their doc tor?' bills than for deferring pay men! of almost any other debts.
