Women as Lawmakers. 365 Per Cent a Year. 90 Billion Income. (Copyright by King Features Byndicate. Inc.) Labor npppitrs In have won the Hritih election. Bntisli labor is socialistic, much of it coiumuiiistie, but of luilil coiuimnuiiism. Imagine the panic in dear old Wall .Street and every well or t'uui.ed financial miml if labor and socialism controlled the government of this country. But the British will manage. They "muddle through" be cause they have common sense ami honest, intelligent leaders. Ramsay MacDonald is as pood a man as there is in Brit ain, although not as great or able a statesman as Lloyd George. trillions of Britishers that, do not like Lady Aster's poltico arc glad she is rc-cleeted. Ten women will sit in the new house of commons. Four are in the house of representa tives. There ought to be at least 200. Soon there will be a woman in the senate. Mrs. Kuth Hanua JlcConnick, daughter of Mark Haiina, now in the house of rep resentatives, will be sent to the senate next spring by the peo ple of Illinois. They recognize earnestness and ability, and arc proud of their intelligent wo men. "Seest th.ou a man diligent in his business. Ho shall stand before kings." The Bible says it, and Wall .Street brokers can prove it. Financial gentlemen, diligent in their 'business, have arrang ed charge 1 per cent on a call "day loan." That is, for tem porary certification of over draft for one day. That little charge, dearly be loved, -is at the rale of only 1 per cent a year. It doesn't amount to a great ileal, only about $ I :,: a day or fl,M),. IHMI a year. But cvry little I helps. professor C'opeland of Cor nell, after a careful investiga tion, figures the income of the United States at ninety billion a year. About a year ago Mr. Ecker gave the same figures. His work as president of the Metropoli tan Life Insurance Company gives him accurate information. The important fact supplied by Mr. Ecker is that wages and salaries equal sixty billion a year. Living expenses equal forty five billion, leaving fifteen bil lion over, as a "backlog" for national prosperity, luxuries, investments, etc. For those who talc golf seri ously anil don't believe the pro fessional who says, "You looh up and stop short when you swing," the latest idea is to have a low matioii moving pic ture made of the play in ac tion. Try it if you can afford it ; you will lie surprised. Many of us would be surpris ed to see a slow moving picture of our brains, if that were mis hible. Colonel I.lndhergh'i name will appear on the social register, after 1:1s wife. I.atcr, his name may appear firm, hers following. That means nothing to the av cruse homesteader on the Mnjave desert.

Leaders Opposed -to Dodging of Old Sol. - WASHINGTON. June 1. Democratic support of the program to dispose of the. tariff bill before the regular Houston begins In De cember eased up the congressional situation today and set Republican lenders to planning anew on a re cess over the hot summer months. This threat of Washington's sum mer hcut also appears to be giving President Hoover a whip hand on his extra session program lending force for the drive to dispose of the farm, relief controversy at an early date. If farm relief and the census re apiwrtionment bills are enacted and definit assurance given of a final vote on the tariff measure before December. Mr. Hoover will sanction a recess until September. Senator Simmons of North Caro lina, the ranking Democrat en (Ik1 finance committee, annoum-cd to day after a conference of the mi nority members of the committee, that the Democrats would agree that a date -be fixed .assuring final distiosition of the tariff before the regular session in llecember. Senator Simmons said he did not want a definite date on which the tariff bill would be voted upon hut that the Democrats would endorso an agreement stipulating that the measure should bo voted upon not later than a date before the De cember session. With the conferees of the senate nnd house on farm relief about ready to abandon the controversial ' export dnbeuntut provision .of the senate hill to which the president Is so strongly opposed. Senator Watsi of In diana, the Republican leader, look-i ahead to a recess beginning about the middle of the month and carry ing over until Soptrmher. Before that can come about, the senate must recede from Its export debenture provision in the farm measure anil get this piece of leg islation to the White House: the house must approve tho senate bill for census reapportionment and a vote must bo taken in the senate on the recommendation of Presi dent Hoover for repeal of the na tional origins Immigration quot-i basis which goes into effect. July 1. Ily just what method the recess is to come about Is still In doubt. Ordinarily unanimous consent would be required to bind the sen ate to an agreement assuring a fin.il vote-on the Inrlfi bill. That is not in prospect, however. Senator Borah and Senator Jones of Washington, the assistant He-, publican leader, are both against the vacation and want the senate to stay here, hot or cold, until the tarirf bill Is enacted. Senator Smoot, the chairman of the finance comniltlee. says it is going to take two months to get the house tariff bill in shape for senate consideration. WASKINCTO lune 1 . (PI Administration leaders -expressed th opinion today that Hie senate will uphold a prospective, recom mendation by the farm relief con-rni-nn..n mm 1 1 lee in eliminate the export debenture plan from tin farm relief bill to he proseniou both branches of congress next week Tr final approval. A careful check of the senate membership was held to have show nthat three or four senators who voted for the debenture plan last month have decided to hui port the conference report recom mending the elimination on the the ory that farm legislation would be greatly delayed If Hie controversy over this proposal Is further pro longed. With this situation In mind. Hi leaders are prepared to ask a vole In the senate on the conference re port as soon as the conferees com plete their work. Senator MiNary of Oregon, chairman of the confer ees, said ho expected this to be early next week. The conferees had hoped to complete their work today but found It impossible to do so. If the predictions of the leaders are borne out the few remaining steps necessarv to send 8 farm bill to President Hoover would be tak en without difficulty. Te bouse Is expected to amirove the conference report practically without debate. Iji the senate tho debenture ex tremists might wage a last dltrh flcht to retain the provision they favor.

A') Democratic party leaders of Vir ginia, with one or.ception, read without common today the advice given Virginia anti-Smith Demo crats by Bishop James Cannon, Jr., of the Methodist Kplscopal church, South, who endorsed an anti-Smilli ticket for state officers and called for vigorous opposition to state Democratic leaders who supported Alfred K. Smith for the presidency. Roswell Page, one of three candi dates for the Democratic nomina tion for governor, however, said the Cannon statement would "llh. erate friends of mine who thought they had to vote for the friend or the opponent of James Cannon, Jr." Bishop Cannon was charged with misleading Democrats Into be lieving he was a Democrat while 6UUHrting the Republican nominee last year, in a statement issued by Mr. Page.
