pass a few important bills, but
| the record on Major legislation
has been completed^ Members
’ of both houses will appeal to the
erjuntry with about the mimimum
of achievement for a long session.
The usual excuse offered bn a
session which begins in Decem-
ber and automatically ends on
March 4 is that there has not
been time and that the demand
f<|' an extra session is not press-
ing. On this occasion however,
Congress has had plenty of time,
but nearly everybody recognized
the futility of trying to get agree-
ments on dozens of measures
that would be the subject of pro-
tracted debate no matter how
long Congress remained in ses-
sion.
it is admitted that this session
of Congress has accomplished
more than the last, but its out-
standing characteristic is still
the number of conflicting groups
in both houses. Some progress
has been made toward party
solidarity, as the votes on various
measures will reveal, but there is
the same tendeny toward indivi-
dualism which has for the last
several years made it dicicuit to
work out compromise legislation.
So most of the meritorious pro-
posals have not gotten anywhere
this session. And it would have
done no good to prolong the ses-
sion for there would have been
no chance of agreement.
There still is a bare possibility
that a last minute accord on farm

the stump.
Administration leaders are na-
turally worried. They cannot
tell what effect the failure of
Congress to pass an agricultural
relief bill have on the kind of
men named in the Republican
primaries, or possibly on the com-
plexion of Congress itself. They
are hoping that business condi-
tions will continue as they are
today, in which case the Northern
Repblicans are confident few
seats will be lost and and that
there may be some gains.
If farm conditions grow no
worse mofet of the losses in the
rural districts to the Republican
party will be inside rather than
outside, for there is always the
chance that a situation such as
exists today will increase the
number of insurgents who make
party solidarity difficult of at-
tainment.
On the whole, it is a curious
mixture of confidence and defi-
ance which runs througii the pre-
sent Republican leadership. Their

Enjoy Luncheon and Some Good
Talks Marie.
At Floyd Cafe Monday evening
a number of the members of Na-
ples Chamber of Commerce en-
joyed a splendid luncheon and
good talks from several members
present.
We mentioned heretofore that the
Chamber of Commerce were
working (pi some thi'^-s for the
advancement of our community,
but that the time was not ripe to
make these projects on actions of
the C. of C. public. At the meet-
jing Monday evening further ac-
{tion was taken on some of them,
and while prospects are very
good for material benefit by the
accomplishment of the desired re-
sults, we do not deem it advisable
to make public the actions taken
up to th,s time.
Another meeting will be held
at an early datq for further dis-
cussion, at which time it is ex-
pected some out of town people
will be in attendance, and it is
hoped some definite agreement
will be reached on some matters
that will mean much for the fut-
ure of Naples and surrounding
territory.
