UlUJ WHAT; TAKING PLACE i I BY Th next four months may prove to be one of the. most.! eventful periods in the . Seventy-fifth Con irresfl. The leoi3lation nassed and the issues- raised will certainly have a sweeping efectn the whole func tions or the' jt Federali Government. Few can predict' anywhere nearj ac curately what that effect will be. Will the President's Supreme Court plan pass through opposition which, to say the least, is formidable? Will reorganization of the executive branch of the Government, as re commended by the President, with stand objections raised, or will it survive? Will the new farm pro posals solve agricultural, ills in the way proponents claim? Will the President's ideas for relief funds prevail or will the bloc seeking larg er amounts wir. out? Let me hasten to say that I can not answer those questions. Weeks of committee studies, hearings, pub lic sentiment and many other factors enter into the situation and must be considered before the answers are found. However, it may be said that the individual members of Congress, perhaps as never before, appreciate the grave significance of the ques tions and "behind the scenes v-in the quiet of offices and committee rooms are giving all facts studied attention. At the moment the Supreme Court proposal is far away ahead of all other issues from the standpoint of importance and public interest. Throughout our whole history any suggestion affecting the nation's highest tribunal has brought a bar rage of public statements. Fortu nately, the radio offers a new form of discussion and, with the ipress, gives our people ample means of hearing and reading both sides of the question. Whatever may be said, for or against the President's court plan: there should be kept in mind the fact that the Chief Executive .was given a tremendous vote of confi dence last November.;. The majority of our people tendered this vote of confidence. Therefore, any recom mendation made by the President de serves to ie weighed on its merits and given the acid test of "value to the public good," rather than be af fected by snap Judgment. The people, with their views reflected in Con gress, will be the .final arbiter. It is an axiom in political economy that the masses will, in the final analysis, find the correct answer to any ques- tion,; v : For the moment, the proposal for reorganization of the executive brandies of the Government is in ths, background.;. Directly, it may tarry as much significance to our people as. the Supreme Court plan, ; Rl . - ; lie I FOR BIGGER YIELDS FROM YOUR FTOLp':--l lip I INVEST YOUR MONEY IN I High Qaality Fcrtilhcra X , - i ' t i r v , Tv i ' , .
