! • '1 . iv; ::v=.;:V Mfmwhich will stand op under fire of rebellious Senate. The House will, of course, agree to any plan which has White House approval. The power ot the Administration i,n exercising control over the House has been ampty demonstrated of late. Two militant pressure groups, wht are admittedly real threats to continuances of incumbents in public o£. fice have been hard hit lately. Th« Townsendites, still active, have beei Washington, May 20 -- Humidity j discredited as an actual menace by which develops ragged tempers dur- J reason of a Congressional expose oi mg hot spells will do more to e» i racketeering back of the movement pedite the closing of the Congression i for government pensions for the aged al sessions than all t^ie pleas of rabif | The overwhelming vote in the House partisans. Two "decision days" befori the Supreme Court shuts down for the summer also contributes to the jittery state of mind nbw existing if official circles. A rupture betweei the Senate and the House of Repiro sentatives over the terms of the taj bill may keep the boys on the battle ground beyond the tentative adjourn meat date of June 6. No solon is sufficiently optimistic about the getaway day as to mak« train reservafor home. ThO waarring fac- ! are praying1 for final orders from the White Jfoase aa f of ending the dilemna. Ijegislators seeking re-election aril becoming panicky at the thought ol continued turbulenee around CapitcJ faries such as oldsters and poor farm Hill. Already the primaries hail last week turning thumbs down on the Frazier-Lemke inflation bill debated high hopes of the sponsors anc lessened the fear of the radio voict of Father Coughlin. It would be a mistake to consider the squelching process as a deathblow to these ag» tators who are out to lift political scalps. The open hostility of tne House membership to these higVsounding ideas has given courage t« those lawmakers who heretofcri have beeh in fear and trembling as It their chances for re-election. The i» sue is by no means dead for the Coughlin camp-follower* and 4h< Townsendites have a stake in sti» ring up emotions of alleged benefie- "T demo-~trated that opponents actively at work on the home grounds have capitalised heavily on the antics ol Congress in dealing with important public questions. Leaders are con scious of the fact that a .sullen crowd of followers are difficult to managa House cheiftains have deliberately blockaded many controversial measures for the sole purpose of hurrying home. An idea of their effectivenesi may be gleaned from the admission of Chairman O'Connor, of the powerful House Rules Committee, that only 400 bills were enacted into public laws out of 13,000 measures ittroduced during the two sessions of this Congress. This frankness reveals the futility of a lawmaker running counter to the ideas of the bosses in the saddle. It is obvious that the PKesider.t is giving the Senate Finance Committee plenty of rope to handle the interns! t revenue revision project. The spreading revolt in the Senate against the tax bill sent over from the Houst forecasts bitter and lengthy debate on this subject--a prospect which is alarming to the political captain with a campaign at hand. The Administration has indicated that a quiet ro treat on the issue is more acceptable than a forced rout. The Treasury wants to retain certain principle about taxing corporations and at the same time permit business to stag ^lation-wide recovery. Their problem this week is to devise a tax! prograri Another highly debatable piece ov legislation will reach the House this week. The Copeland food and drug bill which had a stormy passage fot two years before it emerged from tht Senate now must " undergo the House gauntlet. The sub-committee which labored long and late over the text made so many changes that the final bill must of necessity be worked out in a conference between the two chambers. The agitation from organ ized consumers against the Robinsor* Patman anti-chain store bill has up set the plans of the proponents foi quick action. The opinion is growing that in event the House acts on ths measure it will be with full knowledge that this dynamite will b6 lost in the shuffle. If the conferees do not agrct it is not likely that "flfeie will permit definite changes befor?*adjoumment. The political soothsayers are ha>& ing much ado about Senator Borah' part in the Republican campaign Turned down in many primaries th Idaho solon rs somewhat sulky as he crusades against present G.O.P. leaders from the industrial East and Mid« die West. Whatever candidate is se lected at Cleveland will be obliged to consider the Westerner in deals fo! he has a following among the liberal element. The Democratic high con* mand anticipates that their cause wil be benefitted by factionalism amon* their opponents. The whole political pot is about to seeth as the conven tion season draws nigh.

This meeting called by the Mayor at request of the City Council for the purpose of hiring a caretaker for the sewer system. Owing to the fact of one-half time pay, it is impossible to get a competent man to do necessary work at that wage.

Owing to the fact that we have over $3,000.00 grant money yet to be paid to McHenry from PWA and unless the city will show their willingness to co-operate with the state, it will be t®o bad for the city.
