"See you on t*he tender," he had Washington, March 4 - It is obvious that the guiding principle of all legislation nowadays is the time-worn query, "Is this plan really sound politics?" Thoroughly disgruntled at the tifrn of the cards, the Congress is reluctantly buckling down to hasty consideration of a tax program. Taxation in a campaign year has always bfeen considered bad political manners. The message from the White House demanding a revenue measure left no loophole for postponement until th< elections are out of the way. • ; 1 It is said that the Treasury has a set of 22 plans or estimates for use by| the House Ways and Means Committee which meets this week.

There is a distince understanding that no general sales tax should be adopted. Yet, is it known that some plans especially on, agricultural , commodities ,or foodstuffs are virtually a manufacturers' sales levy. The Social Security Act with its unemployment relief and old age pension features, is a major administrative puzzle. Perhaps much of the difficulty encountered is due primarily to the fact that it is a new adventure for the Federal government. With about 27 million persons eligible upder the act, the task of cataloguing the beneficaries is monumental. The workers who are eligible must lie identified for life. The identification card will be a passport to employment &n4 relief benefits. It is believed that workers will be given a number, but this regimentation will be resisted as would finger-printing.

The shelterbelt plan of planting millions of trees had its inception in the dust-storms which swept these localities. The House frowned on the idea as impractical. Of interest to suburban and rural communities is a bill now pend- / ing in the Senate and House to create<^r a permanent committee to control the pollution of navigable waters. It is proposed to coordinate the activities of states by encouraging compacts for the prevention and abatement of water polution. „ Factories and shops which have utilized these waters may find themselves obliged "to meet new regulations so as to keep the streams I clear. The chances are that if the legislation is enacted many communities will install sewerage systems and drainage projects. The controversy'over the return of taxes collected under the recently invalidated AAA may. be prolonged indefinitely. In fact, the claims for refunds are likely to parallel the notorious War Minerals Commission which was created March 2, 1919 and still functions. At the time the' Commission was created it was expected that the contracts for war minerals could be settled within six months. Lawyers, seeking easy pickings, swelled the original 72 claims to about 800 in 17 years. Like all bureaucracies, the life of the commission has been extended from year to year until Congress cannot shake it out of existence. The government has intercepted circular letters by a law firm soliciting a fee of $10 from consumers, who feel they may seek a refund. No matter what attorneys are disbarred for unethical conduct, an endless mess of litigation is due before the AAA forgotten. It is a strange world. While the Senate and House in a sudden burst of virtue considers registration of any and all persons and groups petitioning for laws or defeat of proposed legislation, a stage show of effective lobbying has Senators and Representatives as star-performers. The independent druggists and others advocating anti-chain store legislation are meeting here this week .for the pur pose of influencing votes in Congress. Senator Joe Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader, and Representative Patman of Texas are the featured artists. Lobbying is bad only when the other fellow's ox is on the Mr. and Mrs. T. A.
