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. This work then, will not
particularly in southern cotton conflict with regular farm work

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.
