SOLILOQUY
BIO HEARTED HOU8E—A few days ago there came a little
story oat of Washington that should really open the eyes of
everyone who has any Interest whatsoever In our government and
what oar members of congress are doing.
William IfcOaffln, Washington correspondent for the Chicago
Dally News, reported the following. We want to give It to our
readers In full just as It appeared In the press release.
MWashlngten—It did net sit well with a constituent of
Hep. Yates (D. 111.) when the Democratic-controlled Hems*
voted recently to give Joe Martin a Cadillac and chauffeur.
"Martin (R. Mass.) lost these anc| the $96,000 extra he had been
receiving for more office help when House Republicans deposed
him as minority leader and elected Rep Halleck, tlnd > In his
place.
"But the Democrats felt so sorry for Joe they psmed
a bill restoring to him the Cad, the ehauffenr and the
money for extra help even thourh he is now Just a plain
member of Congress.
"Some folks around Washington have suggested that the
14-year-old Martin could well have afforded to provide his own
limousine and chauffeur.
"They contend that he Is well heeled and, moreover, has no
family financial responsibilities to worry him, since he Is a
bachelor.
“But the new Cadillac has now arrived for him. And
lost to keep things even with Hallack. Martin’s old Cad is
being traded in so that Hallack, too will have a new one;
"Congressman Yates’ constituent, however. Is Interested to
know, ’how the home consumer is going to fare In this open-
handed congressional session "
"The constituent's name was withheld by Yates.”
VEBY INTERESTING—Yes it Is, very interesting, Indeed,
when our representatives In Washington get to the point where
they feel so sorry for a member of their opposition political party
io vote for him a neat package bonus, of such proportions, or
whatever size. .

WHEN THE OLD BIRD
WAS YOUNGI
Of course there Is the possibility that there is a mistake In
this report Coming from the source that It does, I would assume
that It Is correct and based on the Congressional Record.
Spcakinit of a neat package bonus, here is what it
amounts to. The extra help portion is clearly stated as
$26,600. One can assume that the Cad will amount to about
$5,006. or more, unless Cad dealers in Washington are In the
habit of giving big discounts to Congressional purchases—
that I’d have to see. Then there is the little Item of a
chauffeur. You can guess at that salary for a year Just as
well as I can. At any rate you can figure about $33,000 in
round numbers If this is based on a one year or two year
term »e don’t know »t this point, bat which ever U applies
to, it s pretty fat bonus throwing for oar congressmen.

House to get all possible favorable publicity before tbs new com]
meets and Its lenders have had an opportunity to anaJyMJ
answer the figures.
Of greater conoeru to them Democrats,)
over, is the unexpectedly low budget sp«*
total of $77 billion. They charge It la "unreal*
and waa knowingly held below practical u,
They charge further that "politics” is the m
behind the entire White Hours budget mu*
According to thee# Democratic laadeie,
White House plan is to send to Congress « be
so small that the Democratic majority m I
House and Senate will have no alternativt]
to rniso the totals. And, when they do d
them, they claim, the President will charge tfi
with Irresponsible spending.
Some Democrats have suggested that d
party organise and accept the entire pmiig
budget without any Increases, at the same time making sure |
the public knows where responsibility for the totals Has.
However, the prevailing view among the Donkey party mod
Is that to accept the President’s budget would be an atxii atxJ
their own responsibility. They feel they must raise the total*. J
whatever criticism comes their way, and trust that tbs public

« FARM FIGHT AHEAD—A major fight Moms In Congnari
year over legislation to do something about the pries support i
gram which is taking billions In federal money without rasiJ
any way the problem of over-production and huge govern^
owned surpiuaee of some major crops.
Early In the last session of Congress them was a dlspositlal
the part of both political parties to stall on any comprahensivtT
federal program. Neither side wanted to alienate the farm bloj
an election year, and leaders of both parties were fearful that T
legislative solution would prove unpopular.
Now, however, last season’s bumper crops, coupled with r d
of new record form production In 1959, have caused legnli|
leaders to realize that the problem can be ducked no longer.
The fight will be brought to a head by President Elsenhower ll
self In hie State of the Union and budget msssngis to the cp«|
session of Congress.
Most farm experts In Washington anticipate that Elsenhower
Agriculture Secretary Ears Taft Benson will lose n major■
on the Hill, and the Issue will be carried to the voters In 1960.

• SMALL BUSINESS—Government lenders and members of c|
grass are enthusiastic about new aids to small business which i
approved by the Inst session of Congress. These aids deal
pooling of small business resources to permit groups to handle i
tract work more efficiently and economically. An-
other facet has put the government In the loan guar-
antee business to make it easier for small manu-
facturers to finance their operations.
So far the program has raoeived much greater
acceptance than believed, and prospects art for in-
creased use of these new "tools.”
One result has been n larger share of business going to
concerns. Government economists are convinced the program I
make a significant contribution to the nation’s economic race
in the months ahead, and will do much to rescue small popuk
areas by ravlrtng enterprises that have fallen behind their I
competitors because of lack of money to taanco new plank j
equipment.
