Money Provided To Carry On Program Until February (Special to The Press-Maconi^) WASHINGTON, July the nominating conventiOTS ot tne major parties over ^ of the 74th congress finished, Wash ington is settling down to the ser ious business of presidential poli tics Those who arc trying to dope out what will happen next Novem ber find, on surveying the political scene, a considerable amount ot wreckage and ..a number of nevv factors, the importance and ettect of which cannot at this time be ac curately estimated. The session of congress ended with a victory for the president in the new tax bill. The senate had rejected the principle he advocated of taxing undistributed corporation reserves, hut administration pres sure lOTi the lower house resulted in a threatened deadlock, in the face of which the senate yielded. An entirely new principle of taxa tion has been placed on the statute books and business is disturbed over its possible consequences. The one certain thing about the new tax law at this time is that it makes it more difficult for cor[>OTations to conserve their resources against fu ture depressions. Just before it quit, congress gave the president another billion and a half dollars for relief. This will carry on relief work on the present scale until about February, so one of the first jobs of the new con gress, which wi 1 convene on Janu ary 3, will be to do something quick about federal relief. Some Meiasures* Perished Many legislative measures, which important pressure groups regarded as of vital importance, died in the last-minute rush to adjourn. It must be remembered, however, that while bills die, the pressure blocs still live, and iheir efforts wil be renewed in the next congress. The substitute («uffey coal bill, the administratiion’s food and drugs bill, and Senator Wagner’s federal housing bill were among the casualties. The anti- |>rice-discrimination law aimed at chain stores, as finally enacted, is not regarded as likely to have any Nerious effect except that it puts added powers into the hands of the federal trade commission to regu late business. the ship subsidy bill, passed in the closing hours, is designed to build up the American merchant marine by direct subsidies instead of subterfuge payments for carry ing mail. Under this act it may be possible for America at last to put a shij) or two on the seas which will rival the great European liners. One really important bill which fell short of enactment was the measure designed to put all post masters under civil service regula tions. It was fought by Republicans on the ground that it would keej) thousands of politically appointed Democratic postmasters in office ^or life, and labor opposition gave many Democrats an excuse for vot ing against it. Third Party Threat Political experts are not yet in agreement as to the effect on the e ection of the formation of the new Union party, headed by Representa tive William Lemke of North Da- kota as its presidential candidate and Thomas C. O’Brien of Boston or vice-president. There is a strong feeling that this new third-party movement is to be taken seriously t has the support of Father Cough- of Dr F. E. Townsend, founder of the old-age revolving pension plan Mr. Lemke has been the leader of the agrarian mflationist bloc in con gress, and IS the co-sponsor of the Frazier-Lemke farm mortgage bill The best judgment at the moment seems to be that this new pTrtT n the states where it i; k get offici^ally on the ballot, wilf at° tract a large following of vLr, most of whom would otherwise be expected to vote the n «e.,Th„ i, votes in some of the normallv publican states of the nort^ cannot be denied. Politicarjn are busy with their Stch ft trying to figure it out Likewise, nobody many >,e. h: oi Massachusetts, and Daniel B Cohalan, one of the most powerful fio-ures in Tammany Hall, signed a communication to the Democratic national convention denotincing Mr. Roosevelt as not being a tr.u.e Dem ocrat While some such action was not unexpected on the part of Gov. Smith, it is still a question how far conservative Democrats of the old school W'ill follow this leadership. Campaign Outlook The promise of the Republican leaders to conduct a s.wift-moving, ag^ressive campaign is being borne out. John Hamilton, the new Re publican national chairman, is ac tively taking the field and expects to live mostly in airplanes for the next four months. Col. Knox, vice- presidential candidate, will make more speeches than will Gov. Lan- don. Mr. Landon, however, after a short vacation, plans also to “take the stump” and speak at several strategically selected times and pls.ccs Again, as in 1932, Mr. Roosevelt will himself be the principal speaker President Garner j, be heard from, p,' Farley, Demi man, expresses ocratic ISlU;. 115 in the practically tion of ifr.
