Tax Measure Up
(By The Associated Press'
Washington, April 26, —
After two days of warm de
bate on the tax bill, house
leaders forecast that it will
be approved by a wide mar
gin, at their end of the Cap

within a week.
The house was in recess
but administration chief

schedule for consideration
of the controversial reven

it by Thursday night.
WASHINGTON
CURRENT
COMMENT
The holding companies
show little desire to comply
with the term of the law
passed for their regulation,
and a long and wearying
fi ht to a last-stand battle
ground in the Supreme
Court of the United States
cannot be avoided. The
national debt is growing.
Large sums are to be ex
pended, and they must be
expended wisely. Condi
^tir.ns abroad make it desir
able that the United States
fix upon some definite pol
icy of neutrality. The bon
us ember lately has been
fanned into a blaze. Men
tion of all of the foregoing
has in it no hint of menace
or adverse criticism. It is
intended to be an unpreju
diced review of questions
which will have to be ans
wered in the near future.
Those who constitute that
losely defined body know
as “the government” have
work before them. A short
session of Congress is said
to be likely, but the winter
wood pile may be larger
than was at first supposed.
Many a back may be tired
before the bucksaw is push
ed thru the last stick.
During a Washington hold
up the victims were requir
ed to take off their trousers.
A fellow bereft of his gun
during a hold-up is badly
off, but what human being
is so helpless as a man with
out his breeches9 There
should be a law. The mat
ter is not beneath the no
tice of the Constitution, &
that bulwark of safety
should provide that no citi
zen shall be deprived of
life, liberty or pants with
