THe fact that the sident will not bargain with group leaders in ex-- change for votes proved a d'stinct surprise in many quarters. It is not reasonable to expect, however, that Mr. Coolidge's interest in downward revision of taxes along the lines sug-- gested by Secretary Mellon is entire-- ly altru'stic. His nomination and re-- electio nare in the balance and he is playing "good politics." 'The posi tion taken by the President is by no means an attack directed at the Dem-- ocrat' c minority, but rather a &}tlc«a to the followers of Senator oll-- ette that _ the Executive will not ac-- cept their dictation. \The Hous, Committee on Ways and Means is making, little bheadway in solving the dilemma re regarding tax reduct'on and the soldiers' bonus. Their' action is evidently inspired by pressur, from their colleagues in the House who are concerned over the economic and political effects of the proposed legislation. The committee has deferred the study on tax revision until a decision is mader--regarding the feasibility of a compensation bill for service men at this time. _.It is apparent 'to the average citi-- zen that Congress has evinced little interest in enacting helpful and nec-- essary legislation. A recess of four days was declared after Congress re-- convened for a féw hours. It remains fo rthe important committees of the Senate and House to provide a work ing program. Thousands of bills have been dumped into the legislative hopper, but fot one really of nbte has been reported from a committee. -- As a result of this procrast'nation, the two legislative bodies find themselves with nothingy to do. 'However, they seem to have time to indulge in acri-- monious, partisan .squabbles wh'ch which are broadcast over the coun: try, with the net result that the na-- tion as a whole is somewhat discour-- aged at the outliook for relief meas-- ures. p .

'The report states that the. average rate per month with board in 1923 was $33.18; in 1922 "it was $29.17; and in 1914 the date was $21.05.
