Session of
Congress will
be Long One
Members Prepare to Take Up Work
of Session That Will Probably
Last for Months.
Democratic leaders forecast at
"Washington Friday a long and prob
ably momentous session of congress,
but conceded that, like the repub
licans, they still were mystified as
to the essential features of the ad
ministration's program.
Word reached them that the pres
ident planned to couch his annual
message, to be delivered personally
next Friday, in general terms, and
then, following his established cus
tom, make specific recommendations
on the various issues now foremost.
Would Extend Crop Loans.
Arrangements for the president's
appearance before a Joint session of
the senate and house on the second
day of the new congress were com
pleted by Representative Byrns
(Tenn.), who is to be the next speak
er. Byrns indicated the session may
last until July.
Meanwhile, Chairman Jones (dem.
Tex.) of the house agriculture com
mittee said he planned to urge ex
tension of crop loans to farmers for
another year because of the drouth
in the middle west.
Strategy to strike a "bargain" on
the soldiers' bonus, if the democratic
high command considers such a
move warranted when the $2,200,
000,000 issue comes to a head, is
being studied tentatively by some
administration leaders in congress.
No Roosevelt Word.
They emphasized they had no hint
from the White house. Though
there i9 much talk of possible "com
promises" the president has made
no staatement of his attitude on
them. But with sentiment among
returning members heralded as so
strong for bonus payment, these lead
ers, as one put it, are hoping to!
"make the best bargain we can."
A dozen or more methods of pay
ing the bonus are expected to be
proposed in congress. They will
range from limited payments to
needy veterans all the way to is
suing new currency to pay all the
bonus certificates in full immediate
ly at an estimated cost of $2,200,-
ooo.ooo.
WEAVER NOT DISCOURAGED
Omaha. Former Governor Arthur
Weaver, Falls City, Neb., president
of the Missouri River Navigation as
sociation was unperturbed after read
ing the report of Secretary Ickes'
commission of nine nationally known
engineers which seemed to throw
doubt on the practicability of fur
ther work in making inland rivers
navigable.
"Our program is practically com
pleted," said Weaver. "The approval
of the Fort Peck project Insures a
nine foot Instead of a six foot chan
nel aa far north as Sioux City. That
Is all our present plans call for."
Weaver Indicated that the report of
Ickes' commission was not nearly so
hostile as many members of his or
ganization had expected.
The Ickes commission, Weaver de
clared, lacked information as to the
economic value of the project.
"It Is merely a square deal for the
agricultural west which has for years
been paying its share of water de
velopment in other sections of the
country," he said.

Why
Liquid Laxatives
Do You No Harm
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can thus be
tegulated to suit individual need. It
forms no habit; you need not take a
"double dose" a day or two later.
Nor will a mild liquid laxative irritate
the kidneys.
The right liquid laxative will bring
a more natural movement, and with
no discomfort at the time, or after
ward. The wrong cathartic may often do
more harm than good.
An approved liquid laxative (one
which is most widely used for both
adults and children) is Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, a prescription. It is
perfectly safe. Its laxative action is
based on senna a natural laxative.
The bowels will not become depend
ent on this form of help, as they may
do in the case of cathartics contain
ing mineral drugs. Ask your druggist
for Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
CONFIDENCE COMES FIRST
The most potent force for recov
ery Is confidence on the part of in
dustry, property owners investors.
By the same token, lack of such con
fidence creates and perpetuates de
pression. The San Francisco Call-Bulletin
recently observed there are now some
ten billion dollars ready to be loan
ed to business for improvement and
expansion when there Is sufficient
confidence to justify the risk. The
money is now in the banks, but
bankers would obviously be unfaith
ful to their trust if they loaned
money without feeling strongly that
they can do so in safety.
There are now signs that confi
dence Is returning that problems
are being ironed out, that industrial
leaders and public officials are reach
ing a common ground. If that Is true,
it will be a blessing for all the peo
ple. O'Gara Pushes
Campaign for
Speaker Post
Solons Discuss Nominations to Com;
Before Caucus ; Minority Mem
bers Are Few.
Lincoln, Dec. 27. Hotel lobbies
here and the corridors of the state
capltol gave substantial evidence
Thursday of the approach of the
legislative session, which starts at
noon on New Year's day.
In small groups the advance con
tingent of lawmakers could be seen
slapping backs and discussing nom
inations to come before the pre-sea-sion
caucuses New Year's eve.

eran of seven terms in the house, ar

race for president pro tern, of the
upper chamber and would rather re

GOAL OF REORGANIZED NRA
Chicago. Dr. Max J. Wasserman,
senior agricultural economist for the
agricultural adjustment administra
tion, asserted that an increase In
production, stabilization of new price
levels and the end of price fixing will
probably be the goals of the reor
ganized NRA. Doctor Wasserman, an
assistant professor of economics at
the University of Illinois, led a dis
cussion of the NRA at the opening
session of a meeting of the Amer
ican economics association.
"It is a mistake," he aid, "o as
sume recovery can be made in one
step." Of three necessary steps he
said, two already have been taken.
These, he said, ,were the clearing
away of the debris of the depression
and the opening up of the channels
of trade.
"Among the obstacles which had
first to be cleared away," he said,
"were the long hours and low pay
conditions, unfair competitive prac
tice, cutting of prices below profit
able levels, production of shoddy
products and the breakdown of the
credit system. The codes have made
for a vast Improvement in these con
ditions." Price Increases, he said, have been
partly borne by some manufacturers
and not entirely passed on to the
consumer.

Private Liquor
Sale is Proposed
for This State!
Wright Says That Bill Provides for
Commission of Three to Con
trol the Industry.
Omaha. Attorney General-elect
Wright Thursday night revealed the
administration's liquor control bill
which he drafted under direction of
Governor-elect Cochran will provide
for private sale of liquor in Nebras
ka, both by the drink and by the
bottle, under strict state supervision.
The proposed bill, he said, pro
vides for creation of a state liquor
commission of three members, which
would have authority over the li
quor industry in the state.
The administration also proposes
a new bill, allowing for a stouter
brew, to replace the present 3.2 per
cent measure. The new beer bill,
which may possibly be written into
the hard liquor measure, would allow
licensed brewers to manufacture andjw
market beer of whatever "natural"
strength, not spiked, they might
choose.
"Our idea is that beer and hard
liquor should be dispensed separate
ly and that drinking of beer should
be encouraged in preference to hard
liquor consumption," Mr. Wright
explained.
Licenses for sale of hard liquor
for consumption on the premises!??
would be granted to hotels, restau
rants and other establishments ap
proved by the commission. He stress
ed that hotels and restaurants would
not have a monopoly of licenses for
consumption on the premises.
The number of licenses issued to a
community would be determined on
a population basis, he said, and the
number of "on sale" licenses in Om
aha probably would be considerably
smaller than the number of saloon
licenses in pre-prohibition days.
He Indicated a lesser number of
"off sale" licenses would be issued.
A three man commission was favor
ed, he revealed, because a smaller
board would be less unwieldy than a
larger one and could handle all mat
ters more expeditiously.
Altho it will be designed as an
administration bill, the measure
probably will be sponsored at the
next session of the state legislature
by representatives and senators from
all parts of the state. Some of them
alrady have been asked to permit
their names to be used, it wa3 report
ed here Thursday night.
Several other liquor bills, some of
them providing for a state store sys
tem, are expected to be Introduced.

This Modern
Hayiag is Hot
a Luxury!
IT is a necessity which
gives the housewife extra hours for those profitable,
pleasant and important things so vital to her health and
happiness and to the welfare of her family.
BEFORE the housewife can enjoy these
worth-while advantages, she must be relieved
of the unnecessary work that robs her of the
time, strength and ability to enjoy the better
things of life to which she is entitled.
No other appliance is so universally needed and appre
ciated by the housewife as a Maytag. Not only because
of the time and labor it saves, but because it seves your
clothes as well. Ask for free demonstration in your home.

Sales Tax is
Revived as Raiser
of Revenue
Pushed Forward Again From the Re
publican Side cf the House
of Eetiresentatives.
Washington. The sales tax, vet
eran of half a dozen congressional
conflicts, was pushed forward again
from the republican side as a method
for raising funds to meet "increas
ing" expenditures. The advocate of
tho tax a 2 1-4 percent levy on
manufacturers' sales was Represen
tative Treadway of Massachusetts,
ranking republican on the house
ways and means committee, which
originates all tax legislation. Esti
mating his plan would rai3e 450 mil
lions a year, Treadway took cogni
zance of reports that democrats were
not anxious to advocate new taxes,
by saying: "To increase expendi
tures at the rate which has been
done and as probably will be con
tinued in the incoming congress,
without levying any taxes, Is the
height of financial folly."
He said he already had filed his
sales tax bill with the house clerk
for introduction on opening day, Jan.
3. Under his plan 50 per cent of re
ceipts could be turned over to Btates
"in hope that the states' govern
ments will see the advisability of
leaving this form of taxation to the
federal government."
House democrats have pointed out
that the administration has not yet
closed the door to new taxes. The
