They passed a series of measures that began with the moratorium for intergovernmental debts, that included the creation of the Reconstruction Finance corporation, and that ended with the pussage of the $?.122.000,000 relief bill and the home loan bank bill with Its currency Inflation provision. They put through a new revenue measure designed to raise more than a billion dollars in additional taxes, and an economy bill saving perhaps $150,000,000 In government expenditures. They passed all the necessary department supply bills, but refused to make most of the promised economies in these. Two measures long advocated by Senator Norrls were passed. These were the 'inme duck" resolution to change the constitutional dates for the beginning of congress and the Inauguration of the President, and the a ntl injunction bill relating to labor disputes. The growing national discontent with prohibition was reflected In congress by two test votes In the bouse and several votes on the legalization of beer in the senate. On March 14, voting to bring the Beck Linthlcnm repeal resolution to the floor, the house cast 187 wet votes, the largest of Its kind since prohibition, as against 227 dry ballots. Two weeks later a similar vote on the O'Conner-Ilul- l beer bill was 132 to 210. Senate wets pinned their hopes to various bills to legalize beer, and measures by Senator Hiram Bing ham and Millard E. Tydings were offered as amendments to the tax bill, and In a final effort to gain modification and Increase federal revenues as a rider to the home loan bank bill. The various at tempts met failure. President Hoover vetoed only three important pieces of legisla tlon. These were the bill extend ing veterans' privileges to hitherto untbought of classes of former sol diers, and the first Garner-Wagne- r relief bill with its federal loans to individuals, and the bill to shear the President 'of his powers under the flexible provisions of the Smoot Hawley tariff act. schalon TIMES-NEW- S.

Recently the treaty between the United Stales and Canada for the construction of a great St. Law. rence ocean ship canal from the Atlantic to the Great Lakes was signed. It will cost nearly six hundred million dollars, twice as much as the Panama Canal, and take seven years to build. When the canal Is finished, Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo, Cleveland, all cities on the lakes will be seaports as much as New York, Boston or San Francisco. Food and other products from all farms within reach of the lakes, steel from Gary, Buffalo and other plants, products of all the factories of all the lake cities, harvesting machinery, Detroit's automobiles, all will travel to all parts of the world, by water, at low freight rates. The great cities ot the lakes will grow in Importance, wealth, population and prosperity, and other cities, innumerable, will add to the number of seaports and factories within reach of ocean traffic. "It hath not yet been shewn what we shall be." This ocean waterway, adding every foot of frontage on the Great Lakes, to our seaboard line with limitless harbor facilities, will help show what we shall be. The signing of that treaty was a great event in United States history and ail connected with it are to be congratulated. A naval amphibian plane has brought back to civilization two American women that were living with a wild tribe of Indians In the Jungle interior of Panama. Both married Indians, one was Mrs. White Eagle, the other Mrs. Charlie Williams. Life seemed dull to these ladies, in Akron, Ohio. Perhaps they had read about the "impassioned sheik" or "noble red man." Anyhow, they married two of nature's Panama noblemen and when rescued were lying on board platforms in leaky mud huts and said they could not have stood it much longer.
