Under the present law, the responsiDimy oi deciding whether an actual state of war exists between foreign powers, falls upon the President and inasmuch as countries now fight without declaring war this is a tough assignment, peace organizations want a teeth in it, that neutrality bill with will keep us as remote as possible from foreign entanglements. There will be more discussion about taxes and the national debt, which e is now at an high of about One congressional $38,000,000,000. group, which has the support of industry, will advocate broadening the tax base. Even larger taxes on incomes are also a possibility. There is strong backing in both political and business ranks for a bill to repeal the capital gains and losses levy. So it goes. Next year will be a big political year. Alan hvdro-electr- ic ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS A HAPPENING 8 THAT AFFECT XHE DINNER PAILS, DIVIDEND CHECKS AND TAX BILLS OFEVERY INDIVIDUAL.

Perhaps never of industry interests were the history and individuals so inextricably related to the political situation. As this column has pointed out beConfore, the first session of the 75 it what for as was important gress did not do as for what it did. Left over for consideration are a large number of major bills, some of which passed one branch but were deferred in the other, and some of which are still in House and Senate committees. And it is a fact known to everyone in touch with the situation that the Administration is laying plans for forcing through its "must," program, a large part of which was beaten behind-the-scen- es last session. Prime example of this is the Supreme Court Bill. The President has said, almost in so many words, that he still regards it as essential to his program. It will be introduced in the next session, probably in about the same form as before. And in the mean time, administration leaders will do everything they can think of to bring recalcitrant senators into line. In spite of the "no reprisals" talk, practically every Washington newshawk still thinks that the speech of Senator Guffey in which he demanded the defeat of such Democratic senators as Wheeler and Burke, was delivered at the request of the President, and Deal" Democrats will that "pro-NeDeal" be found opposing "anti-Neelections. in future Democrats Biggest battle will take place in Montana old Repwhere, it is thought, resentative Jerry O'Connell, who is 100 per cent for the New Deal and the CIO, will take to the hustings against Senator Wheeler. The question of relief will loom larger next session than it did in the last, where it was obscured by other matters. In spite of vastly increased Industrial activity, relief rolls are almost as great as in the depths of Relief bureau officials, depression. such as Harry Hopkins, think that relief will be a permanent part of government no matter how much business boom; that millions will be unable to find jobs. Critics say that the relief rolls are kept large for political use. iv o one Knows now many unemployed there are Congress has refused all suggestions that a census be taken. It did pass a bill last session whereby, in effect, unemployed are "invited" to join In a census, but this will obviously give no real check on the situation. Laws regulating business will be another big factor. For example, a bill passed the Senate limiting the length of freight trains, is now pending in a House committee. The railroads say the cost of this bill would drive them Into bankruptcy, unless provision is made for higher rail rates. w w 28-ye- ar all-tim- upper-brack- Old Device Still Boon To Farmers windmill Is coming back . . . uorld'i newest major lavrnflffli. mD is using one of Vam void's fast uUUtsi inventions, tos wmdmlB.

Major occurrence was John L. Lewis' September 3rd radio speech in which he strongly rebuked the President for his attitude in the steel strike Key sentence of the address: "It ill behooves one who has supped at labor's table, and who has been sheltered in labor's house to curse with equal fervor and fine impartiality both labor and its adversaries when thAv hivome locked in deadlv battle." The obvious reference is to the President's "A plague on both your houses' remark. Feeling is that Mr. Lewis believes the cause of militant labor will get nowhere with the established parties, must create a party of its own. Labor leaders want to get the farmers in with them.
