New York Congressman Points Out How Party
 Has Kept Pledges

Washington, June Especial )--Rep- didate for the vice presidency on the democratic ticket. today wrote the fol- lowing resume of the Sixty-second Con- gross. with special mention of the demo- cratic principles in the House of Rep representatives,:
 The long session of the Sixty second Congress Is now drawing towards its close, and the record of the democratic majority of the House of Represents tives has been so far developed that we may firly judge by 1t whether the party has carried out it's pledges or not
 The democrats were put In control of the House of Representatives for one chief and specific purpose namely. to reduce the burden on tariff taxation. The pledge they gave to do this has been Loyalty and truly kept. Bill after bill has been passed, each striking at the root of the tariff burden, The tax on clothing. the tax on food, the tax on the great materials of manu- facture. with these, one after another, the democratic majority has dealt In accord with it's promises and in fulfill ment of it's duties. That there have been no actual lessening of taxes is directly due to the past acts of a repub- lican President and 10 the present in- action of a republican Senate. The House has done its work; done it well and repeatedly, and the record Is there for all men to see.
 Our party took control of tho House of Representatives also pledged to economy, and It's pledge has been loyal ly and truly kept Every one of the great appropriation bills has called for less than was used for the same purpose

 It Is also democratic policy, when taxes shall have been taken off com mon articles of food, to improve their burden upon such resources as now largely escape taxation. With this im- portant factor in our fiscal system, the democratic party has dealt courageous ly and we'll in the passage of the ex- else law upon the right to transact business. This measure taps source of financial power which the corporation tax law did not touch. and which Is now substantially free from bearing any share of our national expense
 Furthermore, this tax Is so limited In its scope that those pay in proportion to their business who are best able to pay, and the exemptions are such as to make the tax burdensome to none.

BEST ARMY SHOE FOUND.
K Ray Utilized After Marches to
Choose Easiest on Feet.

Unique experiments in the army
have resulted in the recommendation
for adoption Of what is considered the
best shoe for preserving the natural
shape of the foot and insuring the
comfort of the wearer.
The y ray was utilized in the exper,
iments, pictures being made of the
feet of thousands of soldiers before
the shoes were tested. Then various
army shoes were put on the soldiers,
who were sent on long hikes. Pictures
were taken after the marches to show
the condition of the feet. The tests
continued until a shoe was found
which left the bones in their normal
condition after the strain of long
marches
The shoe recommended is made on a
straight last with rounded toe.
