WASHINGTON, May 11
vor
out that all of the Roosevelt pro-
UWL UtOl ------- -
gram is to be rushed through Con-
gresB before the date of the World
Economic Conference, which is to
meet in London on June 14. A
good many Senators and Repre-
sentatives will want to go to Lon-
don at that time, whether they are
delegates to the Conference or
not; and Mr. Roosevelt will,
. naturally, want to have some of
his close advisers over there, but
as long as Congress is in session
he needs them here. So the big
' rush will be to get through and
adjourn early in June, leaving less
pressing matters to lie over until
the regular session next Decem-
ber. , . .
Another reason for the desns
for an early adjournment is to
give business and industry a
chance to get used to the changes
in conditions brought about by the
new sort of laws which will all
have been put in force by early
June. So much of the legislation
which has been adopted so far
gives the President broad discret-
ionary powers that many business
leaders and industrialists aie
waiting to see how the President
intends to use these powers be-
fore going ahead too fast with
their own plans.
A Heavy Program
With the Farm Relief bill out of
the way, and its attached amend-
ments giving the President full
control over currency inflation,
the Muscle Shoals bill, the rail-
road reorganization bill, the
banking reform bill including
some sort of insurance to deposi-
tors, the public works bill to pro-
vide more employment, the
measure for direct financial gifts
to states and municipalities for
unemployment relief, the measure
to prevent the sale of worthless
securities and the bill giving the
President great authority over
private industry, including
the power t' ..Jvanc Gov^ern-
are aware that the bulk of their

dent.
Glass and Borah
Only one outstanding Democrat
has had the temerity to voice his
opposition to any of Mr. Roose-
velt’s major policies. That is
Senator Carter Gla^s of Virginia.
with Europe, Mr. Glass was as
vigorous as any man has been in
Congress at any time in his op-
position to the measure. He failed
to carry the Senate with him, and
his friends are suggesting that his
defeat may impair his influence.
Another note of opposition to
the Administration was sounded
Senator Carter Ula«-s oi Virginia. —
Mr Glass was greatly desired byjby Senator Borah, who challenged
Mr! Roosevelt as Secretary of the)the right of the Government to
Treasury. He declined, for rea-'
sons not clearly stated at the time,
mainly, it was said, because of
his advanced age and poor health.
But there was no sign of age or
illness when this little giant rose
in the Senate to denounce the
proposal to permit the President
to reduce the amount of gold in
the United States dollar. Mr. Glass
said that he did not object so
much to the currency inflation
proposals, but he regarded as
demand the return of gold to the
Treasury. “If I had five thousand
dollars in gold I would refuse to
give it up and there is no legal
power to make me give up what
is my own,” Senator Borah said,
in effect. But that, again, was one
man’s expression, against an
overwhelming majority which w'U
do the' President’s bidding what-
ever he asks of them.
Where We Are Heading
The general policy of the Ad-
dishonorable evasion of our obli-
gations even to consider the pro-
ject of paying gold debts in de-
preciated gold dollars.
Regardless of the firm belief ol
Mr. Roosevelt’s friends that he
ministration is beginning to take
shape. As disclosed in talks by
members of the Cabinet and oth-
ers it appears to contemplate the
general control of all business by
the Government. The anti-trust

only wants it for trading purposes;be.
negotiating monetary questions Trade agreements to regulate
not only trade practice* but
prices, as well as hour* of labor,
are to be encouraged if not dic-
tated by the Government. Regula-
tions designed to give the wage-
earners in industry not. only good
working cond ions but short
hours and a fairly high minimum
wage appear to be a part of the
program. Agreement to such
regulation will undoubtedly be a
condition imposed if industries are
to be aided by grants of funds or
credit by the Government.
Similarly, regulations as to
wages, hours of labor and other
conditions may be imposed upon
processors of agricultural pro-
ducts, if they do not agree
voluntarily to conform to the most
humanitarian standards. In this
connection, there may be still
hope for the rehabilitation of the
New England cotton spinning in-
dustry, which has been nearly
ruined by the competition of
cotton-mills in the South working j
long hours at low wages.
| The main objective is to raise
1 prices and keep them up, so that
the people maintained at a high
level; to cut production to pretty
close to our domestic needs and to
open the doors to the importation
of foreign goods in order to en-
able our foreign debtors to pay
their debts to us.

to provide both houses plenty of
work to do in a month or so of
time. On top of those it is expect-
ed that the President will ask—

authority to adjust tariffs,

binding settlements in the matter
of the war debts.
There is little doubt that Con-
gress will continue to give Mr.
Roosevelt everything he wants.
There is no possible doubt that he
has fired the imagination of the
mass of the American people as
no other President has done since
the famous “Teddy,” and Con-
gress knows that. There are many
men in both houses, of both par-
ties, who do not at all approve all
of the projects which the Presi-
dent has put up to them, and who
see great danger in giving the
Executive so much more power
than the Constitution contemplat-

opposition publicly, because they

You will make frequent
v\ trips in your car this
Summer—some long ones and some
short ones.
Regardless of why, when, or how
far you drive you want comfort,
safety, and speed at the lowest cost per
mile. These motoring pleasures come
with Travelax-^//0», which you can
enjoy only on Concrete Highways.
ConcreteHighways provide smooth,
firm and positive traction for tires in
wet and dry weather alike. The road
surface is flat like a floor'—mo center
peak. This tends to do away with
"center-of-the-road” driving. There are
no bumps, no chug holes, no ruts to
cause the sudden swerving of a car
which so frequently results in unfortu-
nate or fatal accidents.
There are more than 3,000 miles of
these safe, economical Concrete High-
ways in Texas. Wherever you are going
find out if there is a Concrete (Trarelax
Route) Highway that will take you.
You will enjoy your drive ever so much
more...and you will save about a cent
per mile for gasoline, tires and repairs
over what it would cost you to drive on
chuggy, bouncy, unsafe roads.
We have prepared a Special Edition
of the Official Map of the Texas
Highway System, showing all high-
ways, particularly Concrete Highways.
Let this Map guide you to economical
and enjoyable motoring.
