t CONGRESSMAN •
Adjournment
The impression seems to b<
among the Democratic leaders of
the Administration that Congress
should remain in session until
SUch proposals as changing the
Judiciary, reorganization of Gov-
ernmental departments, hour*
and wages, and farm tenancy
are tiuallv disposed of. Then
has been some talk for a ninet.\
day recess, but the majjrit.\
opinion is that more can he ac
complished by remaining on at
this time. Sentiment is growing
for the consideration and pas
sauq of a General Farm Reliet
bill at this session; the arguments
being made that it will take
months to put any farm program
into effect, and it should be en
acted as soon as possible in order
to be fully effective for next year
"it ii foolish to show glow worms by
candle light."

It is provided, however, that on

ted States adequate provision*
must first be made by the c.o
operating agencies for the main
tenance, operation and utilization
of such projects after completion.
Farm Tenancy
The House will soon pass a
modified Farm Tenancy bill
which authorizes a ten million
dollar appropriation for this
year, twenty five million dollars
for the second year, and fifty
million dollars for the third year,
for the purpose of assisting fat m
tenants in purchasing farms on
thirty year terms at 8% interest
This is a small beginning, but is
n step in the right direction, and
should be very much appreciated
by all interested parties in view
of the fact that our Government
is one hundred and fifty yeais
old, and this is the first real
effort that has been made in this
direction.

Under the Federal Relief Ap
propriation bill, as passed by
both Houses of Congress, the
WPA must discharge aliens who
have not filed declarations of
their intentions to become citi
zens prior to the act's signature
by President Roosevelt. Under
this new law, American citizens
will have preference over persons
with first papers in WPA em
ployment. No record ever has
buen made of the number of
aliens in Federal Work Relief
jobs, but a survey made by the
Emergency Relief Bureau last
September in New York threw
some lights on the subject. This
analysis disclosed that 7.554 of
those transferred to WPA by the
City of New York Home Relief
authorities never bad declared
their intention of obtaining cit
izsnship. This number repre
sented about 20,000 on the relief
rolls of New York. An additional
4 b%, or an additional 12,500 had
taken out first papers only.
The WPA is making a survey
to determine how long each em
ployee has been on relief work.
It is stated that this is designed
to weed out those who showed
no disposition te seek private
employment, or who have become
temper mentally or physically
unfit for outside work because of
protracted unemployment.
Thoso who have been on the
Work Relief the longest time
will, in ail probability bo the first
to go when reductions are made.
The first cuts will also be made
according to ability, aptitude,
and application to duties.

Austin—Those who attempt to
raid the state treasury, and those
who seek to saddle the bulk of
the tax burden on Mr. and Mrs
John Citizen, are agreed that in
the Hon. Virgil A. Fielden of Mt.
Pleasant, the representative from
district 35, Titus and Morris
counties, is a serious obstacle
between them and their object j
Ives. To say the least, the boon
dogglers and the tax dodgers
tind the gentleman from Morris
and Titus "difficult." For he has
made a consistent fight during
his first term to reduce appro-
priations and the cost of opera
Tax Resources
In efforts to raise sufficient
revenue to wipe out the deficit
and pay the expenses of the state
government, Rep. Fielden offered
several measures seeking reven-
ue from various tax sources. He
sponsored an increase in taxes on
natural «as. He was author of
an amendment calling >ur a tax of
$140 per ton on sulphur, but it
failed to receive the necessary
two thirds vote for adoption.
He authored an amendment ut
tempting to levy {)% value on
