■■ ,S
I TAKING
I PLACE
BY
UNITED STATES SENATOR
.. Editor's Note—Senator Rey
nolds' column for this week was
written at John Hopkins' hospi
tal, Baltimore, where the Sen
ator is -undergoing treatment
to find the cause of trouble af
fecting his hearing.
The legislative snarls of the
first week of the special session of
Congress indicate that members
of both Houses have benefitted
from their own surveys of condi
tions "back home" and are deter
mined to see that new legislation
is in accord with national needs.
This is reflectel in the growing
pressure for tax relief for busi
ness, particularly small businesses
that find it difficult to compete
with monopolies; in the desire to
draft a farm program that is
workable and not just designed to
satisfy the demand that some
thing be done, and in the effort
to avoid new government boards
and commissions.
Aside from farm legislation, the
tax situation is one of the most
important problems confronting
Congress. It is an open secret
that the Congressional Commit
tees are daily finding evidence
that taxes are definitely retard
ing full business and industrial
recovery and are determined to
bring in a bill for tax revision
that will be more equitable than
the existing law. If the pressure
for action continues, it may come
at the special session, although
the program calls for tax legisla
tion at the regular session.
As soon as the farm bill is re
ported, probably by the time this
column is printed, every effort to
speed it along will be made in
both Houses. It now seems cer
tain that the members of Con
gress . have a better picture of
farm needs and are hopeful that
they can be met through a well
planned law that will stand the
test of time.
What will be ddne about the
wage and hour bill is problemat
ic. The "behind the scenes" ac
tivities in the House, where the
measure is a live issue, indicate
that the bill finally reported will
be more favorahle to the South
and free from too drastic Federal
control. Some believe that the
law should set standards«for wa
ges and hours, leaving it to the
Justice Department to enforce,
rather than to set-up elaborate
and separate enforcement ma
chinery.
Another important legislative
program is the Federal reorgan
ization bill. It may prove to be
one of the real controversial
measures to be handled during
the special session. At the mo
ment it seems certain that the
Congress will retain full control
of independent offices and com
missions now responsible to the
legislative branch of the govern
ment. However, much ground
work must be done before any
reorganization bill is finally acted
upon.
To again mention -farm legisla
tion, there is much hope that
early enactment of a program
for agriculture will have a bene
ficial effect on business and in
dustry, certainly from the stand
point of stimulating buying. It
is highly important that business
and industry have a better idea
of available markets and that
those who comprise the markets
be better able to buy. Thus the
farmer must have an idea of what
he will get for his products, with
some assurance that they can be
sold, before he can maintain his
status in what business and in
dustry terms as "markets."
To put it another way, the
Congress seems definitely of the
mind that the farmer is entitled
to a better share of the "larger
life" as we term our economic
progress, and that the prosperity
of agriculture is an essential base
for improved conditions in all
spheres of our economic life.
