OF
FOR CAMPAIGNERS
Session Will End Without
Effective Ammunition for
Either Party, Is Politi
cal Writer's Guess
By BYBON PRICE
Chief of Bureau, the Associated
. Press, Washington.
Contrary to all expectations con
gresi la preparing to fold up ltt
tents without having contributed
a single major luue to the presi
dential campaign.
In the whole reconstruct Inn pro
gram there la not one effective fea
ture which has drawn a tight party
line. There la not one which can
be pointed to, without arousing
great argument, as a strictly Re
publican or a strictly Democratic
product.
Compromise has been the watch
word. Legislation has been put to
gether by the patchwork process,
and the resulting pattern accepted
finally with comparative unanimity
but with no great enthusiasm on
both sides of the party aisle.
This means, for one thing, that
when the national platforms are
drafted, they will disclose a vast
overlapping In claims. Both sides
will try to take credit for all that
seems good, and blame the other
fellow for all that seems bad.
Party Lines Don't Hold.
With a Republican president, a
Democratic house, and a deadlocked
senate, It had been predicted uni
versally that each party would ad
vance Its own program, and then let
the people decide In the ensuing
election.
Something of the kind was at
tempted. Republican leaders rejected
all suggestions for a "coalition gov
ernment." The Democrats named
a steering committee to draft a defi
nite plan of affirmative actlonv
But party lines Just wouldn't hold.
One reason was that on neither
side did the leaders stand pat. An-J
other waa that both sides began
to be disturbed by the temper of
the country.
The atock market suffered new
sinking spells, and whether that
really meant anything or not, it had
a powerful Influence in Washington.
President 7f cover began demand
ing immediate action, whether It
was exactly h.la kind of action or
not. Speaker Garner went ao far
as to declare the worst possible
taxes were worse than having no
tax bill at all.
Leadership, party lines and every
thing went Into the wash, and amid
tumult and confusion the govern
ment raced and plunged toward Its
goal of business - bolstering and
budget-balancing.
Tariff Doesn't Excite.
Congress took Mr. Hoover's Re
construction Finance corporation,
but along with it Mr. Hoover took
the Glass -Steagall baiu'ng bill,
bearing the names of two Democrats.
The house rewrote the Hoover tax
bill, then rewrote its own and fl
j nally turned the Job over to the
senats where more rewriting has
been done with a Republican secre
tary of the treasury sitting at the
elbow of the Republican and Demo
cratic leadership.
The .economy bill was worked out
at discussions between the Demo
cratic house and the White House,
and now a bi-partisan conference
U redrafting It. Democratic Leader
Robinson asked the senate to help
the unemployed, and within 24 hours
a Robinson-Hoover compromise plan
emerged.
It la true the Democrats did pass,
and the president vetoed, a tariff
bill. But there was quarreling about
It In both parties. Besides, with
things as they are. It will not be
easy to get the average voter excited
this year about an abstract tariff
argument.
Two Issues Stand Out.
It should not be supposed, how
ever, that the campaign will go
Issue-less, Just because congress has
failed to make Its customary con
tribution. There are two issues on which
It appears the national conventions
will have no difficulty In disagree
ing. One is Herbert Hoover. The
other is prohibition.

Electric oven canning is simplicity itself. Exact temperatures, automatically
controlled, take the guesswork and uncertainty out of food preservation. Just
place the food in the jars cold; put them in the oven, set the temperature
control and leave them the proper length of time. It is just as easy as that.
There is no guesswork, consequently no food loss or failures.
