...Process. Last week the Ways and Means Committee set to work in earnest upon the tax reduction law of 1926. From the conflicting opinions now being heard by the Committee, in all probability two bills will be drawn up. Then the Republican and the Democratic caucuses after some internal bickering will agree to them. The Ways and Means Committee will at last make two reports to the House, a majority (Republican) and a minority (Democratic) report. Then for several days the House will argue, and finally some sort of bill, probably with a number of compromises, will be agreed...
Other Proposals. Numerous representatives of private organizations and a few individuals were heard by the Committee. Among the most interesting witnesses were two delegations, one from Texas (home of Representative Garner, ranking Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee), the other from Iowa (home of Chairman Green, ranking Republican).

Shively died, and Tom Taggart (Democratic Boss) was appointed to the vacancy until the next election day. Later the same year Taggart was defeated by Watson. In 1922 Senator New was faced in the primaries by Albert J. Beveridge, Senator (1899-1911,) and Arthur R. Robinson, a young Indianapolis lawyer. Beveridge won in the primary, but the New men helped to weaken his position. As a result Beveridge...
...weeks ago Senator Ralston died. "Here," said the Republicans, "is the end of our factional fights in Indiana. Governor Jackson will support a Republican. New is in the Cabinet. Governor Jackson may appoint Everett Sanders, the President's Secretary, but if he appoints Beveridge, both Beveridge and Watson will be in the Senate, and there will be no light between them in 1926. They will carry the state easily...
