May Adjourn August 20—The an
nouncement today that the tax bill
is coming up this week or for sure
next week gives some of the old
timers an inspiration to tell new
members that they can begin to get
ready to go home. The guess now
is that congress will adjourn about
August 20. The program as given
to the leaders for this week in
cludes the control of floods on the
Mississippi river; army promotion
bills; annua] sick leave bill; bus
bill and the private and consent
calendar bills. The army bill and
the flood relief op Mississippi bills
passed yesterday.
Storing Silver—There was some
truth in the report that the activ
ity around the Treasury Building
here was for the purpose of mak
ing room for money. While it was
true that they were digging to
make plans for a new air-cooling
system for the employees, it was
also true that they were making
space for one hundred million sil
ver dollars which are startin to
come to Washingtoh from the mint
at Philadelphia and which are
stored in the new underground
vaults at the Treasury Building.
C o o k i n g—The famous White
House kitchen, which has been a
symbol of American cooking since
the time of Thomas Jefferson, was
closed beginning this morning. This
famous kitchen is being modern
ized. It is too old fashioned, they
say. The old open fireplace, where
Andrew Jackson’s “kitchen cabin
et” watched a pig roast over glow
ing coals, while discussing the
spoils system, has not been used
for a long time. They have been
using stoves, which have supplied
the beefsteak and. fried potatoes to
the visitors and ambassadors and
powerful political bosses, and these
two have been long out of date.
The president is being fed from the
small kitchen on the third floor, an
emergency kitchen.
Imports Increase—The increase
in imports of farm products within
the last year is schocking. The
following information indicates the
seriousness of the situation:
1934 1935
Butter, lbs. 689,000 ~ 21 ,cf00,000
Fresh Beef, lbs. 233,000 4,575,000
Fodder, lbs. 113,000.000 354,000,000
Meats, lbs. 40,546,000 73,763,000
Wheat, bu.10,596,000 23,603,000
Rice, lbs. 35,511,000 80,376,000
Beans, lbs. 12,500,000 35,600,000
Onions, lbs.3,900,000 13,500,000
Gag Rule Works—The Frazier
Lemke leaders on the House side
have been over to the Senate and
Saturday they came back very
much disappointed at their recep
tion there. They received word
that the Administration is working
just as hard on the Senate side to
stop the Frazier-Leml^e Bill as
they are working on' the House
side, but the Frazier-Lemke organ
ization say they will fight to the
last ditch to stop adjournment of
this session of Congress until their
bill is given an opportunity to be
heard on the floor of the House of
Representatives. Administration
leaders who have discussed this
battle, and it is a battle which is
given very little publicity, declare
that the Frazier-Lemke bill is
doomed for this session, because
they have enough support to stop
any more signing of that petition.
This shows how effectively a gag
rule works on any bill which the
Administration does not favor.
Homestead Memorial—Nebraska
congressmen are finding some op
position to their bill to spsnd about
$25,000 for the erection of a monu
ment to the nation’s first home
stead in Gage county, Nebraska.
It is felt that if the government
can spend hundreds of millions for
other monuments it should not
hesitate in spending a few thous
and to commemorate the people
who had the first homestead in the
United States.
Bonus—Watch the bonus legisla
tion. The new bonus army was re
ported to be growing here today
and it was stated off-record that
the administration feels that vet
erans may not support the admin
istration next election unless some
thing is done about the bonus. This
may mean that there will be a bet
ter feeling toward new bonus legis
lation by the administration.
NRA — Letters are coming in
asking what has happened to the
NRA. Well, really nothing serious
has happened to the NRA insofar
as the activity here in Washington
is concerned. Altho it has been de
clared unconstitutional, the organ
ization still continues to occupy
more space than most any other
agency in the District from a rent
al standpoint. It has representa
tives in fifteen different buildings,
'occupying about 250,000 square
feet of space.
Tax Burden—A letter comes from
a constituent in the Third Con
gressional District to the effect
that in his opinion our government j
has to stop adding to the burden
of the taxpayer, and in his opinion
the new tax plan is all wrong.
However, when it is taken into con
sideration that our public debt is
now nearly thirty billion dollars
and that we spent three and one
half billion dollars more than we
took in the last fiscal year, and
that we have no place from which
to get money except the taxpayer,
it is easily seen that the taxes must
be collected and that the taxes
must be higher in order to pay the
bill, and in order to even attempt
to balance the budget.

What we need in America nowa
days is less knee action in our aut
omobiles on Sunday and more in
the churches.
Auto production is twenty per
cent above that of 1934 but there
will be no overproduction. The
wild boys and girls on the high
ways are smashing ’em up twenty
per cent faster this year.
New York man. is said to have
jumped out of the tenth story win
dow on account of the heat. A lot
of people would be afraid to do that
lest they get into a place which is
still hotter than New York.
