The exodus of the people's reprsentatives and other public servants presents a tranquil scene here now in sharp contrast with the two final weeks of the hectic Congressional activities. The rancour developed by the embattled political factions will undoubtedly have much to do with fashioning trends in the Presidential elections of next year. Veteran legislators are disposed to doubt that President Roosevelt will summon Congress again this fall. It is believed that the circulation of this rumor during the closing days was largely for strategic reasons -- to encourage special efforts to enact the legislative program wanted by the White House. The solons feel they are relatively secure from a call until the regular meeting date next January because the Chief Executive would be obliged to justify the special assembly with the public as essential to national welfare rather than a political trick to discipline a recalcitrant legislature. Opinion is general that only a war overseas involving this country's policies in respect to foreign affairs would be sufficiently import ant. A sudden ind persistent falling of prices and renewal of depression conditions might afford another excuse but goverment economists do not foresee any such plight or an etxraordinary session. The country and the politicians will have plenty of time in which to reflect on the causes of the growing schism between the legislative and adminis trative branches. The discord reached a high-water mark when the House of Represenatives staged open rebellions against the White House legislative program by defeating the Administration's pet spending bill and the housing program. It is difficult to determine the real reasons for these set-backs in the Roosevelt plans in the heat raised by partisanship and prejudices of the last few days. The narratives put out by rival political camps are a mixture of exaggeration and suppression dependent upon whose ox was gored in the melee on Capitol Hill. Though Mr. Roosevelt has denied that he will take his case to the country in a series of speeches, the poliical bigwigs expect him to indulge in pot-shots at Congress from time to time. Mr. Roosevel's chief lieutenants on Capitol Hill are somewhat embarassed as the numerons rebellions have been construed as evidence of discontent with leadership. The facts are that these official helpers were ordered to charg? the breastworks of the hostile coalition in the Senate and House after they had explained the futulity of attempting to force certain programs through a de- COME IN TODAY WE HAVE YOUR SIZE I Have you had your front wheel bearings packed?

SMITH, Prop. fl&ne 200-J Jofcnsburg YOUR GOODYEAR TIRE DEALERS While relatively little publicity is given to the interplay of regional for-, j--between city and farm--in legislation this deplorable situation still exists. It was frankly admitted by Chairman Sabath of the powerful House Rules Committee a few days ago when he charged that certain elements were at work in the Senate and House to "utilize every opportunity to eliminate from any proposal legislation all benefits to the urban population or for the unemployed of the cities." Sabath hails from Chicago and is a veteran legislator. His lot as head of the Rules Committee has been particularly unhappy of late as the other members rode rough shod over him in shifting legislation from other committees to a House vote. Yet Sabath has intimate knowledge of the struggles between classes of the popularity and brought his views out in the open. The departing Congress left a number of agencies in town with special assignment These outfits liberally supplied with funds, will probing into various affairs. is the new House committee to investigate the National Labor Relations Board, an inquiry vigorously but vainly opposed by the Administration. As a counter attraction to the House study involving the influence of trade unions in policy-making of a Federal agency is the Senate Civil Liberties Committee which will seek to prove that employers use high-handed tactis in discouraging menftershfp in labor unions. Of particular interest is the work of the special tax groups authorized to work out plans for revision of the internal revenue laws. A sub-committee of the House Committee on Ways and Means headed by Jere Cooper, of Tennessee, has asked interested parties to present data in written form before the committee meets early in November. The Treasury Department experts are also engaged in similar research for tax purposes. It seems illogical that Congress will indulge in wholesale alteration of the tax structure in an election year. The LaFollette suggestion for broadening the tax base to include thousands of citizens now exempt from contributing to the Federal tax funds sends shivers dowij the spines of office- seekers who anticipate many delicate political problems from such a scheme making low-income groups tax conscious. • 7.

TTTHEN someone mentions bird * * and animal pictures, most ot us think of soos. forests, or the African jungle. But--if you lire on or neai a farm--you have access to a number of fine animal subjects. And take my word for It, ddmestic animals yield just as good pictures as wild ones. Just for the fan ot it why not spend a day picturing farm animals? Go after expressive, human-interest shots, such as a hen mothering her brood, or pigs struggling for position at the trough. Shoot close-ups ~ot a placid, cud-chewing cow, or a husky work-horse--just as if you were taking pictures of a person. Many animals have definite, almost-human expressions at times . . and they'll make fine pictures for your album. Distant shots, showing the animal small, will be disappointing unless it happens to be an incidental figure In a scenic. Most focusing cameras are adjusted to take subjects as near as six feet--many four feet, or even less Many box cameras can be set for subjects as near as five. And, if you slip a portrait attachment on the camera lens, you can get even closer. Or, you can take a shot at normal distance, and have the best part of the negative enlarged to give a close-up effect. It's not necessary to show all ot a large animal, such as a cow or horse. Indeed, the head alone often makes a better picture. Choose the viewpoint which shows the head and expression most effectively -- and fire away Keep the background simple-- changing your position when necessary to get distracting obje<jta, out of the camera's field of view. Take your camera to the farm . i , keep your eyes open ... shoot wisely and often. You'll find that any wellstocked barnyard yields splendid picture dividends.
