Anderson, Dec. 23. — The ap proaching session of congress which convenes in Washington on Wednesday, January 3, will be one of the most momentous in recent years, in the opinion of Congress man John C. Taylor^ of Anderson, who is now making plans to return to the nation’s capital for the ses sion. Emergency legislation, passed at the Special session of congress last spring as well as new legisla tion which looms on the horizon, will probably keep congress busy for several months, he believes. Inflation of the currency, long overdue, will probably be one of the first acts of the new session unless President Roosevelt sufficiently ex ercises the power of monetary re form given him at the last session of congress. Since the opening days of the special session, the third dis trict representative has favored a policy of controlled inflation. He believes one step in the program necessary to get money circulated in all parts of the country would be through the payment of the sol diers’ bonus, which is advocated by Mr. Taylor. “Inflation would be the salvation of the agricultural south,” Mr. Tay lor states. “It would increase the price of cotton and other farm commodities, make credit more free and give business a strong impetus. As I see it, it is the betft thing that could happen to the south at the present time.” Without making any predictions, he believes that the re covery program will shove the price of cotton up to 15 cents before next May and other agricultural prices ful consideration to legislation that will help them in their problems and give these people humane ma chine-loads to operate, and wages that will furnish them more than the bare necessities of life.” With reference to legislation for the veterans, Congressman Taylor believes that there is a possibility of a change of some of the legisla tion passed during the special ses sion. Since the campaign when he was elected a member of congress, Taylor has insistently held that veterans who have service-connect ed disabilities should be properly taken. care of by the government and any legislation for veterans that will look to this end will have his support during the coming ses sion. He believes that legislation * pertaining to veterans should be jeft to the discretion of corigress. During the approaching session, Mr. Taylor will support legislation chat will permit the various states to control the per diem pay of workers on government projects and seek to have part of the money spent for permanent structure. In stead of using the funds for tempo rary dirl roads and the like, he fa vors, for instance, the construction of post offices and permanent buildings. He believes that with the money being spent every commun ity of more than 2,000 inhabitants :ould have a modern post office or other building and thus reduce government rents. He believes the entire program of the R. F. C., and the C. W. A. will be revised by the congress and that no ordinary laborer on these projects will be paid more than the regular sheduled wages which a Senior TUntf&L will increase accordingly. A further investigation of labor- farmer, for instance, can pay for ing conditions in the south and his help.

With the opening of the session of congress, Taylor will transfer his office back to that city and the office which he has maintained here for his constituents will b: closed. All business will be trans acted from Washington. Congress man Taylor is in close touch with ^he needs of his constituents in the nine counties of'the third district having recently completed a tour which carried him into all parts of the district. This tour, an effort to get more closely in touch with the people whom he represents and their needs, was made for the ex press purpose of hearing the prob lems of the people; going to them instead of waiting for his constit uents to come to him, thus saving them time and expenses. He will go back to Washington well informed on their problems and needs and better able to serve them than ever before. Preaching At Mt. Carmel A. R. P. Church Sabbath Dr. S. W.
