Solon Milla, in. Reference Past Sales SATISFACTION GUARANTEED gress. The features of the new bankruptcy law relating" to farmers and railroads may be revised somewhat. The best minds among our lawmakers are honestly endeavoring to prevent quack remedies from Being foisted on the people. The greatest danger lies in sortie rescuers zeal for immediate relief, rather than more carefully conceived action k>y the government.- Feeling exists that even when expediency demands drastic legislation it must not be of a character leaving an impression that the government has exerted itself fully but proven impotent in a crisis. There is a true inspiration trend in the thousands of letters received by the new Administration and the legislators. The public has indicated their belief that the fulfillment of preelection pledges will bring about essential changes in our economic and political life. These folks are imbued with the idea that the "agencies of government possess dynamic force to stay the advance of depression influence and ultimately restore confidence and prosperity. Unfortunately this child-like faith places an unfair burden on officialdom no matter how much they would like to measure up to expectations of the populace. Conservative officials . are writing home pointing out tfte necessity for setting local influences to wprk to aid the national government. ^ Though the ink is hardly dry on the commissions of Cabinet officers, the higher officials 'of'their departments are extremely nervous. Many listed as Republicans know full well that it is merely a matter of days before their resignations will be asked and accepted. They must make a way for newcomers. Others protected by a Civil Service rating, realize that they will be shifted to inferior posts as "deserving party' workers" demand appointments or promotions. Postmaster General Farley is in charge of patronage and his problems have multiplied since taking office. He is proceeding with caution in his own bailiwick which controls thousands of postal jobs. The need for care is revealed ir\ a Senate report In 1929 entitled "Influencing appointments to postmasterships and other Federal offices." This sensational inquiry was conducted during the Hoover regime by Senator Brookhart, an insurgent Republican, anSenator McKellar, the new chairman of the Senate Post Office Committee. It is Senator Mc- Kellar's committee which must pass on appointment to postal positions after the applicants are weeded out by the Postmaster General and his party is in power again. The iron hand which many Speakers exercised in ruling over -the House of Representatives will be softened by Mr. Rainey. For years an advocate of compromise in party matters the new Speaker made his bid for his high office under an agreement to delegate some of the power to a special committee, a policy which has met with his colleagues approval. The House has gradually taken over spme of the Speakership powers since the days of "Czar" Cannon. The Speaker is still an influential figure in law-making. Politicians are puzzled over Garner giving up the post for the Vice- Presidency which is more of an honor than a political asset. Garner frankly admitted he liked his House berth bftter. The natural inference is that he prefers to be in line for the White House. Washington society which differs from any other social whirl is taking the measure of the Roosevelts. They are watching the White House functions with a view to determining their course. The sudden death of Senator Thomas Walsh, Attorney- General designate, slowed down the inaugural parties. Hundreds of new officials and legislators are now in town prepared to do their duty at the office and in the drawing room. Social secretaries with wide experience are in demand because of the intricacies of the official society. The deadly precedents and questions of rank must be considered for even a simple tea. The banking situation may force economies and cut down much entertainment during the Spring months.
