They never letup for a minute

Promises Letter Each Week To Inform Voters
Of National Capitol
It is my purpose to give a
weekly news letter during the
Second Session of the 74th Con
gtess in order that the people
of the 7ih District may know
of pending legislation orleg-lthe
islation that will be proposed
in the Second S ssion of Con-
gress and I invite suggestion
as to such from any person in
the district
Presidents Message: Con-
gress convened at noon Janu-
ary 3 1936 and recessed until
9 P M when at a joint meet
ing of the Senate and House
the President appeared in per-
son and delivered'his message
on the stale of he Union This
message of course many o f
you heard in the broadcast and
have read in the daily news- sidered ahead of the Patman
papers and you have formed kill that is before the 13th of
your own opinion of it It was Janualy This is due to the
a masterful delivery from the ( fact the committee which
standpoint of oratory and the will report the Vinson bill i s
President seemed to be in fine
spirits and hopeful He out-
lined a program that will b e
very gratifying to the people
of the country in general His
remarks on neutrality were of
particular significance and
importance for the reason that
that is one of the three pen-
ding matters of importance at
this time the other two being
the immediate payment of the
soldier’s bonus and considera-
tion of social security other-
wise denominated as old age
pension law'
Soldier’s Bonus: this mat-
ter is a special order for con-
sideration by Congress on Jan to

rule where a majority of t h e
members have petitioned for
emsideration of the bill not-
withstar ding the attitude of
appropriate committee
'and is known as the Patman
bill which provides for the im-
mediate payment of these cer-
tificates by t h e issuance of
certificates of the treasury
rather than by a bond issue
On the floor of the House yes-
terday it developed that Con-
gressman Vinson of Kentuc-
ky is going tore introduce his
bill which provides for rhe pay
ment of these certificates b y
the issuance of bonds Parii-
araentery maneuvers may ena-
ble the Vinson bill to be con-
unfavorable to the payment of
of these certicates by what is
termed the inflationary Pat-
man plan So far as I am con-
( cerned I am going to vote for
the Patman plan but if this
plaj? does not succeed I pur
pose then to vote for any plan
that will bring about the im-
mediate payment of this bonus
I have often made the state
ment that I am against the
issuance of ary form of interest-bearing
tax exempt bonds
and have stated that the only
exception I would make to this
commitment would be to get
the money for these veterans

those who may be liable for
the first time under the new

possibly take The bill or reso-
lution that will be proposed
has not yet been prepared but
they will be within the next
few days Of course no one
foretell just at this time the
exact terms and provisions of
such bills or resolutions I am
going to support the resoluti-
on which I regard as the most
efficient machinery to keep
the United States out of t h e
European war involvement or
any other involvement with
foreign nations The bill or
resolution will have to be s o
