How far will the House of Representa tives go in its revolt against the President? hat is, by all odds, the most v. iely-discussed question in Washington these days. The lower House of Congress, having overwhelmingly voted down one ot the President's "must" orders, the "death-sentence" clause in the Util ities Holding Company bill, is feel ing its ?ats. It may take the bit in the teeth and run wild. The bovs have been taking or ders without open protest, though with a good deal of grumbling, for the sake, mainly, of party harmony and their own chances of reelection Now thev are beginning to wonder whether it is good politics to keep on as thev have been going. A lot of them, particularly from the South, are getting word from back home that the folks are getting tired of having new projects sprung on them, and wish Washington would slow down for a while. There was pretty general resent ment in Congress of the President's effort to have his new "share the wealth" tax program rushed through on five days' notice, and that re sentment was not materially cooled by his poncession that they might take all Summer to consider it. Congress may or may not work out a new tax bill that will meet the President's views. Talk of adjourn ing and letting committees study the tax matter, for report and ac tion at the next session, is heard on iany sides. What is more like ly is that the boys will stay here until Fall and maybe try to put over some things which the Presi dent does not want. It is more than likely that, in stead of a bill to tax only huge incomes, enormous estates and weal thy corporations, such as President Roosevelt asked for, Congress may zive him a general revision of in come and inheritance tax laws run- nine all the wav down .the scale. Also, a few greenback, silver and bonus bills for good measure. Lobby Investigation Another thing that has got the boys on Capitol Hill all stirred up is the ouen charge that the Ad ministration sought to buy votes for the "death-sentence" 'measure, by promise of patronage and threats of withholding work-reliet tunds. Representative Ralph Brewster (R.) of Maine made the flat statement that one of the "brain-trusters" who drew up the Holding Company bill, Thomas G. Corcoran of the R. peeder I Sm.

Not content with having broken the world 'a 100 meter reoord for women with time of 11.6 seconds, Miss Helen Stephens, 17, Fulton farm girl, thinks she can lower the mark below 11 seconds. F. C. staff, had warned him that if he voted "wrong" the funds for the Passamaauoddy power project would be held up. The result is a Congressional investigation of lob bying by both outsiders and insiders. The President's latest bombshell is his letter to Representative Sam B. Hill, of Washington, urging Congress to disregard the Consti tution in considering the Guttey Bituminous Coal Miners' Regula tion bill. Mr. Hill is chairman of the sub-committee having the bill in charge. Mr. Roosevelt wrote: "I hope your committee will not permit doubts as to constitutional ity, however reasonable, to block the suggested legislation. The President xplained in his letter that the only way to find out whether coal-mining was subject to Federal regulation, was to try to regulate it and so bring the ques tion to the Supreme Court. "A de cision by the Supreme Court rela tive to this measure would be help ful," he said, "as indicating, with increasing clarity, the constitutional limits within which this government must operate." The Constitution Issue Now the boys are asking each other whether that would be good politics for them individually and for the Democratic Party. The Opposition would like nothing bet ter than to fight on the battle ground of the Constitution. Indeed, it becomes more nearly a certainty, from, week to week, that the ques tion of Constitutional amendment to permit the Federal Government to do a lot of things this Adminis tration has been trying to do, but which the Constitution, as inter preted by the Supreme Court, says it has no power to do, will be a major issue between the two par ties next year. Some of the President's closest friends are wishing that his wise old political strategist, Col. Louis McHeriry Howe, were not disabled. Nobody else has the complete con fidence of Mr. Roosevelt; from no body else does he recognize politi cal advice as uncolored by personal ambition. Sloan's Market imiom: ar Carr Howard, Mgr. Mrs. J. S. Sloan, Owner First Humane Legislation The first humane legislation was missed b'v the narliament of Eng land. According to a reoort on the history of the prevention of cruelty to animals published by the Koyal Society of England, a bill was in troduced in the year 1800 but failed to pass. In 1822 a bill was intro duced by Richard Marton, who was nir.Wnamed "Humanitv Dick." to re lieve the suffering and to prevent cruelty and improper treatment of cattle. This bill after considerable dUnmsinn was naavt'd Later on bills were introduced and passed tor the prevention ot cruelty to all animals. Rare U. S.
