THE slxFY,FIFTH eeNeAsss

The sixtyrhfth Congress, jaat Ak.
PRED, has been a body of remarkable
experiences. No congress in our his
tory has had as many and important
problems with which to deal. We
will all agree that it did many wise
and benehcent things and many
things that it should not have done
Also that it failed to do many things
which il should have done.
This summary only shows that a
body of men is human, and therefore
both as 'well-intentioned and as liza
bic to err as the individual man.
We remember that this congress
declared a state OF war between the
United States and the German gov
eminent, and later, against the Aus
Hungarian government
We gasp when we learn that m two
years it appropriated nearly IS billion
dollars
1t passed the greatest tax laws IN
parliamentary history, in two years
evying ten billion dollars in taxes
upon the people. And in the same
time it authorized bond issues aggre-
eating twenty billions.
1t passed a law to make the coun-
try dry after July LIST, 1919, for the
duration OF the war. And then IT
passed constitutional amendment
for natianal prohibition.
1t was in every sense OF the word
a militant body. When il was not
making war appropriations or pur-
suing war Investigations or appoint
ing food or fuel war commissions 1t
was generally engaged in internal
dissensions with the administration.
After all, it was our congress and
thoroughly American one. 1t did
he thing it set out to do, supplied the
country with nearly four million
fighting men, furnished the sinews
of war for them and stood at their
backs while they went through to
victory. 1t has packed its vallsc
and gone home to rest ana inspect
and repair its political fences.
