NEA Service Writer Washington, May 6--Tho Hon. Frank L. Smith of Illinois uud Hon. William S. Varo oC Pcunsvt vanla are now, to all legal land technical purposes, just ae good senators as the other 94 and with just us many prerogatives as any of llie new senators.

This means that both are now oc cupying large and comfortable or flees in the Senate office buildings, witu bright and shiny new name platea on the doors. Or rather, their office staffs are occupying I offices, for there not a deal of work to be done and neither Senator Smith or Varo is often hero. Roth gentlemen are on the Cod oral payroll and so are their 8ei retaries and clerks. However, mv wise either or both may have boeu In making the large campaign expenditures for which the Senate is expected to toss them out, each has shown a certain acumen in selecting a former newspaperman us his secretary. William H.

Culvei is secretary to Smith and Douglag is secretary to Vare. There are also potted plants, sent, as is the custom, by the government's botanical garden. And a full quota of furniture and a couple of electric fans and all tho jest. Vare has numerous books and government documents which he moved over from his office in the but it appears thai Smith failed to Inherit anything of the sort from the late Senator McKlnley, whom ho defeated iii the primaries. Thus Smith has only the nucleus of an office library, thus far --consisting of Party Campaign Funds, by James K.

The work in both offices bis been very light to date, constjt ing of such matters as checking with government departments tor constituents, taking up Individual Immigration cases asking the State Department Americans in China. about certaia Tome question was raised In the Department of Agriculture as whether Smith's allotment of agricultural bulletins should be delivered to him, but b-3's pretty certain to get them.

Senators Vare and Smith are so conv fortably ensconced because the Sen ate accepted their certificates of election late in the last Cougrw. They have everything a senator has except confidence concerning the future. There is some slight trend in their favor, but it is not expected to be strong enough to allow them to Bit with the Senate in session or to allow them to occup their offices long after Congress convenes In December. Observation of certain senators engaged in the homely occupation of eating lunch in the Methodist build ing abaft the Senate office building blasts the thought that our Republican statesmen are abandoning democratic institutions, although the position of the Democrats is doubtful.

After Taxes on The County Commissioners of Montgomery county have directed their clerk, Berry E.

The law directs the State motor vehicle commissioner to-refuse to Issue or trans- 'er any plate or marker, certificate of registration or title for any motor vehicle unless all taxes have been aid. provided each such automobile separately assessed apart from assessment on any other auto or kind or class of assessable property, and provided that the tax to be evied on such motor vehicle be paid separately and apart from all other taxes. The duty of the clerk to the county commissioners will be to repare separate assessment ookp, so that separate tax bills may be sent to the auto owners.
