Addresses Arp On The Order
Of The Day.
By HERBERT PLUMMER.
WASHINGTON,-The first days
of the present * session of congress
indicate that the floors of both
bouses will be utilized at every op
portunity a* sounding boards for
the coming national campaign.
From the opening day this has
peon so. President Roosevelt set
the pare when he broke 811 Pr8ce*
dents by delivering his message on
the state of the union at a night
ees-lrn when the nation emt'd
ii-ten in 11 has been maintained
since.
Alreetir congressional leaders
especially in the house have ex
perienced difficulty in holding the
members in check. Supporters of
the Townsend old age pension plan
have been particularly insistent
they be given opportunity to air
their views.
As tli'1 session progresses, the
pressure for "letting off steam,” as
Vice President Gamer described it
vihen he was speaker of the house,
will inerease. Unless the leaders
dump den. the situation may be^
come serious.
"f anned Speeches"
The entire membership of the
house and one-third of the sen
ate are up for re-election this
year. No better place is to be had
than the house or senate for these
senators and representatives to
mak their speeches.
Ih addition to the fact that their
speeches may be noted the same
day in their home-town papers,
there is another factor probably
rf greater importance to them.
They have the privilege of broad
casting their remarks to constitu
ents in the mails, free of charge,
on whatever scale they desire.
The members of congress pays
for the speeches he has printed,
but they are printed in the gov
ernment printing office at Wash
ington at cost price. His franking
privilege permits him free use of
the mails.
Some idea of the large scale op
eration in ‘ canned” speeches In a
national election year may be had
in the fact that in one such pe
riod senators and representatives
paid $68,266.19 to the public print
er.
Senators Not Limited.
During the present session, prin
cipally because of their desire to
8ft through and go home as quick
ly as possible. leaders On both
sides have privately, agreed to
throttle speech-making as much as
they can.
They Intend wherever possible to
prevent speeches being made in the
open house and have them con
fined to the time when the house
ls ,n "committee 0f the whole.”
Time is limited for debate in com
nntiee of the whole and equally
dniriett between Democrats and
'’publicans. Thus the leaders are
*bIr to allot time just as they
choose.

birds of the senators—to ta

Hancock Suggests
Reducing Excise
Tax on Cigarettes
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-A $1.«
horisontal reduction In the federal
excise tax on cigarettes—now $3 a
thousand—was suggested yesterdij
by ftepttsenWUye Trank W. Han*
cock, Jr., of Oxford, N. C.
Hancock said sucli a reduction
would have A two-fdld benefit, in
suring better price* to grower* for
tobacco and cheaper cigarette* for
the consumer.
The North Carolina representative
<1 dared the reduction should be
effected th such a way as to in&ute
the benefits would be passed on to
the producer.
Hancock 6aid It was “safe to pre
dict” that the government Would
continue to get as much' revenue
from the cigarette tax a* in the past
as a result of increased consump
tion which would follow price re
duction.
Manufacturers also would benefit
rrom increased consumption.
A reduction In the levy. Hancock
said, WotUd enable manufacturer* of
the so-called standard brands, now
retailing for 15 cents a package or
two for 85 cent*, to sell tbr ten cents
while the price of present brand*
’elilng for ten cents could be reduc
ed to two package* for 15 cents.
“Tobacco is the only farm product
in the United States that U a bast*
for revenue,” the representative de
clared.
"The government is collecting an
nually an average 6f five time* a*
much in taxes from each pound of
tobacco as a grower receives for a
pound.
H. Dixon Smith Alto
Probable Candidate
For Congreis Seat
COLUMBUS, Oft., Jan. 24.—An
unusually spirited race for congress
In the third Georgia district ap
peared certftin this week as the
name of State Senator H. Dixon
Smith, of Columbus, was mentioned
in political speculation as ft likely
candidate for the post.
Two others already have An
nounced—Solicitor General Hollis
Fort and Stephen Pare, both of Am*
cricus—and a third, T. Hoyt DavlS,
of Vienna, United States district At*
tcmey, is regarded as a probable
candidate.
Senator Smith, a prominent Co
lumbus business man, says a num
ber of his friends hftve urged him
to enter thft iftftfc-Jrttt ltlfttltrhftft
the matte? under 66fi*ide?4ti6fi. At
a recent meeting of a group Of lum
ber men here. Senator Smith prais
ed the recovering efforts or Presi
dent Roosvelt and reminded his
audience Of improved conditions irt
that and other industries since the
present national administration
went into office.

of Cuthbert . said recently he did not
intend to become a candidate for
rc-eleeti6n.
'Editor's Note: Mr. Smith is the
son of Mrs. Julius Smith of Shelby

Representation
By States On
Court Is Talked
Washington. - Representation
by states oft the supreme court, now
that the Judicial branch of the gov
ernment has come In for such dost
scrutiny, may figure prominently In
discussion regarding, the future of
that tribunal.
There have been repeated re
quests for more sectional represen
tation on thS supreme court for
years. Even a ceftan amount ot
Jealousy has been displayed by those
stales who have fiever had a native
json to sit there.
Only 3S states have had natives
to sit oh the nation's highest court,
j New York has had the largest
I number with lO. Maasachusetts and
,6hlo, with Seven each, come heat.
I several of the states have contri
buted as many as five members to
the court—Pennsylvania, Virginia,
Maryland add Tennessee,
New Jersey, Kentucky, Georgia
and South Carolina have had three
each.
<2 NSaer Represented
Connecticut has had two, as have
Alabama, Illinois, California and
Louisiana. Minnesota, Wyoming,
; Michigan, Kansas, Mississippi, Iowa,
Maine, NSw Hampshire and Utah
have hid one member each.
Those states which have never
been represented on the court are:
Arizona, Arkansas. Colorado, Dela
ware, ftoflda, Idaho, Indiana, Mis
souri, Montana, Nebraska. Nevada
New Mexico, North Dakota, Okla
homa, Oregon, Rhode Island, South
Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Washing
ton, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
It’s true, of course, that some ol
the States that have had no repre
sentation On the court as yet, wert
admitted to the Uftlon a relatively
short while ago. *
Hoover Named Four
I Whether President Roosevelt will
I have opportunity during his admin
istration to change the itne-up ot
the court is a matter of speculation
The advanced age of one of the jus
tices, Illness of another and the re
ported inclination of a thitd to retire
may give him the chance.
President hoover sent the name*
of fbiir men to the senate for placet
on the supreme bench. One was re
jected flatly—judge Parker Of North
Carolina. Another, Chief Justier
Hughey was confirmed by that bOdj
■*fe* V-tremendous uproar. Thi
third and fourth—Justices RobCrU
and cardo*a—were confirmed bj
the senate with little difficulty.
If President Roosevelt is called 61'

bet probably Is that he will name
