s . , PENF(S CHEWING TOBACCO NEWS PARAGRAPHS FROM WASHINGTON (Special News Correspondent) Washington, D. C., March 6.-The Sixty-seventh Congress is just com pleting the first year of its term. It has but twelve more months of exis tence; if its latter half leaves no bet ter impression on the country than its first, then certain it is that it will go down in history as one of the big disappointments, disheartening to its closest friends and even to its own membership. Few, if any, attempt to defend a Congress that has become the butt of the jokesmiths on the stage and in the funny papers. Its efforts-if they can be called such to relieve the distress of the country might become tragic if it were not for the saving sense of humor possessed by the American people. Everyone laughs when Abe Martin says that l-usiness is picking up-he quotes the proprietor of the five and ten cent store as saying he has sold more checker-boards in the last year than during all of Wilson's administration. And the Washington theatre rings with applause when Will Rogers, the comedian, tells of the recent fire on the roof of the Treasury-howv it stopped when it had hmrned dlown to where the money was, for the Admin istration had beat the fire to it. Every test of public opinion shows that Congress unts made itself intensely unpopular. If any one had prophesied this outcome when ll arding and the big Republican majnority in Congress came ot bait a year ago he would have been langgied at, but the public has been treattedl to a success ion of dle lays and piart y splits on i mportant matters, with i ncreasi ng bewilder-I ment and helplessness. Every Re p~ubl icana in CoAngress seems to lie a party ninto, himself, with the excep tion of a few clear-headed men like -limi M~ann--w~ho migh bring some oIrdler out ot thIiis chaos had his un grteftul parity given him the pilace he had won, the Spea kersh ip, but it went to (one who aidmits own utter in ability~ ande that of h1is party. Anvd yet, every cloud1 is sail to have ts sitlver Iinaintg, and we can refleett with joy that this Congress has only twelve months more to live.

G. acrimonious messages back and forth to each other while business twiddles its thumbs and waits and waits, not even being able to guess what to do in the circumstances. The 0 store shelves remain unfilled, the factories idle, the ships motionless. These con mittees, not satisfied with quarreling from one end of the Capitol to the other, have equally bitter quarrels among themselves. And at the White House it is not different. The Presi dent and the National Chairman, Adams, have been at daggers' points for weeks over the appointment of a successor to Postmaster General Hays, the filling of the vacancy as Secretary of the National Committee, and patronage generally. Speaking of -lays recalls what Mann said of him in the House the other day. His remarks make one wonder what sort of bargain the Movie Trust got when it agreed to pay Hays $150,000 per year as a sort of Field Marshal. Man said in the course of a debate: "He has not been worth a five-cent piece since he has been 'Postmaster General. le does not kno wanything about the Post Office Department; and, for one, I am mighty glad he is getting out of it. His only object has been to be extravagant in his own personal re lations with the Government. Long distance telephoning is his main long suit." The bonus question, like the coffin of Mohammed, remains suspended between heaven and earth. When Harding asked Congress to adopt bonus legislation and to provide a salestax to pay the bill, he knew the Agricultural Conference which had just been held in Washington passed ed a resolution saying: "We positive ly and earnestly protest against any consumption, or sales, or manufactur ers' tax, or any other tax which shifts the burden onto those least able to pay, onto the necessities of life. It has proved disappointing financially and unjust socially wherever tried." That resolution passed unanimously in a farm conference which Harding called, then within less than three weeks he asked Cong. 2ss to pass a sales-tax. Why? Two reasons: he knew the Farm Bloc was against the tax and that Labor was emphatically on record against it, and he could tell the American Legion he was for the bonus but that he was blocked by this opposition; further, everyone about Capitol knows that ever since it be came apparent that Harding was to be elected the Wall Street district has flooded Congress with letters and arguments of every sort, directly and through the great New York newspapers, under control of the fin ancial interests, urging the enactment of a sales-tax. Big business seeks, through Harding's recent action, to bring the sales-tax into use first on the plea that it is necessary to pay the bonus-that for the entering wedge. Their hope and intention is that it shall be made, within a few years to take the place of all income and cor poration taxes. This has been ex pressedi in the Wall Street .Journal andl the New York Tribune repeated ly.
