A YEAR By CLARENCE J. BROWN Member of Congress, Seventh Ohio District On March 4th, 1789 the Congress of the United States met for the first time. Last Saturday, one hundred and fifty years later, pomp* and ceremony marked the Anniversary. The Presi­ dent of the United States, the Vice President, the Cabinet, diplomatic representatives of foreign lands, the Congress itself, and all officialdom joined in the celebration that marked century and a half of life for the leg­ islative branch of. a free and repre­ sentative government. The new states were so slow in selecting their rcp- presentatives in the first Congress, and it took so long for thenPtri reach the first seat of government at New York, that it was necessary for the now Congress to be adjourned from day to day until April 6th, 1789, when a quorum was obtained, thus permit­ ting the transaction of official busi­ ness to begin. Each two-years there- . after a new Congress was seated on March 4th in the odd numbered years, until the adoption of the recent a- mendment to the Constitution chang- ■ing the date of convening to January 3rd, thus eliminating the so-called “ lame duck” sessions. Both the size and, the work of Congress have grown amazingly throughout the years, but the two legislative bodies still follow the same general methods in legis­ lative matters as were adopted a cen­ tury and a half ago. The citizenship of the United States still speaks and legislates in “We,- the people of the United States of America, in Congress assembled—.” ’ The greatest system of government ever devised for the benefit of man still lives—a represent' ative government—a Republic—the United States of America. The money spenders “never say die.” In the last session of Congress a bitter .fight over the first expendi­ tures in connection with the proposed Gilbertsville Dam, in the Tennessee river in Kentucky was waged. Three times the item was turned down, but on the fourth' attempt, in the closing hours of the session, an appropriation for a survey and preliminary work on the Dam was voted. Thii-f year a seventeen million dollar appropriation for a continuance of the work was sought, voted upon by the House and defeated. Then the Senate vc-insevt- ed the Gilbertsville Dam' item in the Bill by amendment and when the mat- defeated. When the Senate Je-insert- ter of concurrence in the amendment came up a few days ago, after a ter­ rific battle, the Gilbertsville Dam ap­ propriation was approved in the House by a nine vote margin. Thus the country is now seemingly committed to a project from which the benefits are questionable and for which a total expenditure of between two and three hundred million dollars will be neces­ sary for completion of the work. Again an attempt of the Republican minority to call a halt to New Deal spending has met with failure. Many business men have been giv­ ing heavy sighs of relief during the past few days as a result of state­ ments made by two cabinet officers last week. Others are rather keep­ ing their fingers crossed, remembering that somewhat similar statements in the past bore but little actual fruit. However, there is a better feeling generally in the business world since Secretary of the Treasury Morgerithau announced that there Would be no new taxes levied by the Federal gov­ ernment this year and that there would be an attempt to lighten some of the burdens resulting from present tax lawfs. Secretary of Commerce Hopkins, in a speech, pledged coop­ eration of his department and of the Administration generally with busi­ ness enterprises of the country. In almost so many words he stated that the Administration was now putting recovery ahead of reform and that business and industry in the United States need have no further fear of governmental punishment — at least for the present, PARTITION OR REALTY Partition of Xenia real estate is the object of a petition filed in common pleas court by Mary L. Fudge, Anna L. Keiter, Leola L. Glass, Jesse W. Brown, Harry M. Smith and Hazel Anderson against Leona Wilson and others. The law firms of Marshall and Marshall and Smith, McCallister and Gibney represent two different groups of heirs in the litigation. TRANSFER REQUESTED Trustees of Spring Valley Twp. have on file on application for author ity to divert $75 ’from the township road fund to their depleted general fund in order to pay obligations. Prosecutor Marcus Shoup represents the' trustee board. GRANTED DIVORCE Dena Harner has been awarded a di­ vorce from H. Ervin Hairner on grounds of cruelty and gross neglect. The court set aside a sale of household goods by the defendant to J. Harold Harner, and awarded the property to the plaintiff. MOTION OVERRULED . A motion filed by Sherman Martz, defendant in a suit filed by Rocellus Martz, requesting dismissal of ’ the petition, has been denied by the court. The divorce case of Garrel Patton against Jean D. Patton was dismissed, at the plaintiff’s request.
