WASHINGTON AND 
GENERAL NEWS 
OTHING new has developed in the 
oil scandals in Washington, but each 
party seems to be very busy in steering 
the investigations so as to involve 
prominent members of the opposite party 
in the general mess. 
In the House, the Mellon Tax Plan 
with its substitutions and amendments 
is making little progress. Very heavy 
inheritance taxes have been agreed upon. 
Agreement has been reached to. increase 
the tax on cigarettes and to put a heavy 
tax on gifts involving large value. The 
debate between representatives of the 
different sections in the House is at times 
so sharp as to almost reach blows. 
* * * 
The oil investigations in the Senate 
and the tax bill and soldier bonus legisla¬ 
tion in the House are retarding consider¬ 
ing such agricultural legislation as would 
otherwise now be coming along. It 
begins to look as if no legislation of any 
measure or any important minor character 
would pass the Senate. This applies to 
such measures as the Henry Ford Muscle 
Shoals project, truth in fabrics legislation, 
McNary Bill, and the immigration bill. 
There is even some indication that the 
fight in the House of Representatives 
over the tax measure will result in failure 
to pass any tax reduction bill this session. 
The National Grange and the American 
Farm Bureau have joined the National 
Automobile Chamber of Commerce and 
the American Automobile Association in 
a protest to Congress against the failure 
of the Ways and Means Committee to 
provide for any reduction in excise tax on 
trucks and motor cars, or upon repair 
parts and accessories. 
* * * 
Considerable pressure is being brought 
by Secretary Herbert Hoover of the 
Department of Commerce to take many 
of the duties and activities now under 
the control of the Department of Agri¬ 
culture and place them in the Department 
of Commerce. This would take work now 
performed by men familiar with agri¬ 
cultural problems and place it under the 
direction of business men without the 
farm point of view. Needless to say, such 
a change does not meet the approval of 
farmers or their organizations. 
* * * 
A big fight is on in Washington between 
the dairy farmers and the agricultural oil 
producing interests over the question of 
reducing the tariff on vegetable oils. 
The applicants for the reduction include 
the big soap, oil, paint, varnish manu¬ 
facturers and other industrial users of 
vegetable oils, and are represented by 
most eminent attorneys in Washington. 
The question involves millions of dollars 
of revenue and hundreds of millions of 
dollars in commodities in foreign and 
domestic commerce. Dairymen are natu¬ 
rally opposed to any letting down on the 
vegetable oil schedules because it would 
increase the use of oleomargerine and 
other milk and butter substitutes.
