Freund & Son CONTRACTORS AND BUILDERS Phone 127-B McHenry Our experience is at Yonr Service in building Your Wants Washington, May 11--Political gauges are attempting to register the groundswell to determin the effect of the sharp antagonism existing between the legislative and administrative branches of the Federal Government. With only 24 working days before adjournment Congress would like to know how the controversy with the President is viewed by the voters back home. Torn between frenzy at Presidential criticism and melancholic apprehensiveness at the thought of the forthcoming elections, the national legislative group is obviously in a bad humor. The situation may be summarized by a French saying "quarrels would not last so long if the fault lay only on one side". It is generally recognized that the tinies call for cool heads and compromise. The charge of the President that th& Congress had forfeited the country's confidence by its capricious tactics was met on all sides, without regard' to partisanship, with the contention that the Chief Executive had been equally dilatory and indefinite. The exchange between the" President and Congress has only contributed to unsettled conditions. There is a faint hope that Congress may rise to the challenge and cut appropriations to the bone without rhyme or reason other than to meet the cry for "savings". ^Impartial inquiry shows that; the two branches of government have juggled figures to make a case for their side. The Administration estimates have been shifting while appropriations have not been in line with promised economies. Congress could reduce government expenditures by nearly a half billion by simply cutting ten per cent from the Budget Bureau recommendations. It would involve drastic changes in personnel which is the real stumbling block. The first reaction to the Hoover attack on Congress favored the President. Business men want action and not talk so government securities may be stabilized. While these securities are of uncertain value no business can expect to proceed. Congress has met the back-passing by claiming Hoover's economics were solely arithmetical--not real. The fiat mon§y craze which gained a foot-hold with the House of late seems checked with the defeat of proposed bonus legislation in committee, It was officially predicted that the bonus would force issuance of inflated currency because of the deficit in the Treasury. • An effort will be made to overcome the Ways and Means Committee's action by moving for a direct vote in the House. Faced with a Presidential veto, it is not likely that this proposition will get beyond the political gesture stage at this session. With all the talk of relief it is note worthy that relatively little has been said about the farmer's plight. Spokesmen for this group of citizens seemed inarticulate or resigned to procrastination on the part of thvir colleagues in Congress. Business has been bumped so hard with tax legislation that it cannot be considered a fair-haired child of the legislative body. Industry would prefer to have Congress close up shop for a few months. The^ Senate has been so occupied with important matters that it neglected to worry about the "bad boy" recently included in its membership. Huey Long of Louisiana is a novice among Senate elders no matter what experience he accumulated in his own state as a trouble-maker. His harangues have left a hard-boiled Senate unmoved. Long's antics have been likened to a demagogue in ancient Athens of whom it was said, "his speeches are like cypress trees, large and lofty, but without fruit". Long has returned to his home state where he is better understood and appreciated. It has cropped out that Congress has its axe out for what is called "the Hoover fife and drum corps" or the Little Cabinet. These men, assistant secretaries of departments, have been making speeches on behalf of the President and lambasting Congress. Then they have the courage to plead with legislators for increased appropriations for divisions and bureaus under their direction. Congress can take its' revenge at the purse-strings. Pussy Proves Help to Electrician in Wiring Kingston, N. C.--Paul Long, an electrician, recommends that every electrican carry a cat Long had to run a cable , through a small space between the roof and ceiling of a house for a distance of 80 feet He tied a string to the cat's tail, shoved It' in one end, and closed the opening. He opened the other end, and in a few minutes the cat came out with the string. He pulled the cable through. SHORT SEA CRUISE ..BUSINESS BOOMING Tourists Desert Atlantic Lais* for South Seas. New York.--Hard times are booming the "short haul" cruise business for the steamship companies these days. New liners, many of them drawn from the once crowded but now all but deserted transatlantic lanes, are joining the teeming fleet between here and Bermuda, Cuba and Central and South American ports almost monthly. New lines are enter-, Ing the scramble for "chicken feed" profits every season. It's an ill trade wind that blowB no steamship line good in these times of changing business methods and standards. A Survey of the different lines terminating here revealed that the number of tourist passengers making the four to sixteen-day vacation trips between this port and such favorite playgrounds as Nassau, Havana and the Canal Zone during the winter just past will probably double those of the previous winter. None of the competing companies was willing furnish exact figures on Us business and some of them insisted that they had even suffered a decrease but the consensus of "guesses" was that when the final returns are in a good 50 per cent jump In cruise profits will be disclosed. , Part of the increase is, of course, at the expense of transatlantic travel. The depression has made European junkets too expensive for hundreds of purses formerly able to stand the strain and many of these which have had to take the count are compromising on little flyers to nearby ports. For instance, statistics show that only 624,050 fare-paying passengers made the trip between European and Amer-, lean ports last year against a total of 1,288,630 In 1930 and 1,139,8110 the year before. Passport figures "to June 30, 1931," were 89.323 (excluding 17,- 373 renewals), as compared with 145,- 966 "to June 30, 1930." In 1929 the total was 196,930 and in 1928 It was 189,308. But a good share of the "short haul" increase can be traced to the growing popularity of the "ocean vacation" idea with the rank and file. Thousands, literally, who never dreamed of being able to take a trip to Europe in the old days have discovered to their great joy in the last two or three years that a little "run down to the Bermudas" or some other nearby port is well within their reach and that it costs no more in the long run than a vacation spent at some of the more popular playgrounds of this country.
