necessary to .evy or AVERAGE lax oi
$50 upon every nan, woman ard chill
in the nation. The sixty-sixth con-
gress. whose inactivltles gained for 1t
the name of the "do-nothing con-
gress," demonstrated the high cost OF
loafing by appropriating money at the
rate Of 100000 900 a day. 1t was in
session $50 days and during that time
authorized expenditures Of s5,4OS,-
sO,327,2O.
This total is almost five times as
much as has ever been spent by the
government in single year in time
OF peace. The largest amount here
tosore appropriated was sl,ll4,sS7,-
0i2.02 in 1916.
The orgy of spending INDUCED in by
the "Do-nothing congress" was in the
face OF its campaign pledges of econ
omy and in spite of the urgings OF
President Wilson to the Republican
majority to do omc.hing TO tighten
the financial burdens of the people.
The president had recommended to
the congress legislation to simplify In
come and profits taxes as to ra'la and
methods of collection, explaining that
one Of the evils flowing from high
rates Of taxation in peace time was
the encouragement OF "extravagant
expenditure"
Facts and figures regarding the
prodgal authorizations for expendi-
lures which were made by the sixty
sixth congress were furnished by Rep
resentative James f. Byrnes in a
speech delivered before the house on
June 5. 1920. Mr.. Byrnes as n member
of the committee on appropriations
has an intimate knowledge of the sub
ject and gave an exhaustive analysis
o, appropriations to show the reckless
disposition made of the public funds
by the "Do-nothing congress"
His speech was in answer to the
statement made by the Republican
leader Of the house. Mr.. Mondell that
the appropriations for the fiscal year
beginning July amounted to s+S5s.
ss032730. Mr.. Byrncs said that to
this amount should be added at least
s543, 900 Of reappropriations and
authorizations made available by the
house. which would swell the total "a
The record sum Of s5403, $50. .327.30.
How Congress Saved"
As measure of political expedi'
oncy and to mask this astounding
total the Republican congress Mr.
Byrnes declared. had resorted to thC
method OF appropriating money in in
direct ways so that the statement ol
direct appropriations was misleading
because IL did not state the Who'll,
truth. The system was to reappro
pirate sum which had been mad,

but unexpended, which under ord

Interest OF Democrat Women
"The outstanding feature Of the

rousing Of the interest OF women vot-
ers in the campaign, especially In
those states where they have not had
the franchise before.
up TO now, most Of the women
have been reading and observing
with open minds They have ex-
pressed their opinions and they have
not affiliated definitely with party
organizations. So. too, they have
given little evidence of following
their husbands or brothers with blind
obedience.

Harding will be to vote against the

he found the same tremendous sY!ng

is the moral side, the great Christian

that all OF the great nations except
the United States are today in the

Dayton, Ohio, Oct. AT home
from a campaign tour that took him
more than 1900 miles and into every
state west OF the Mississippi river
except three, Governor James NJ. Cox
who is supposed to rest for two days
before going into Kentucky and Tenn
essee, today continued his plea for
adoption Of the league OF nations,
the paramount issue Of the campaign.
In an address to a body of women,
the governor went into considerable
detail in asserting that throughout the
years they have been the leaders Of
progress in the world. and declaring
that wrath of the women who were
made to suffer in the war will pursue
Franz Joseph, William HohenZoIIern
and Nicholas Romanoff through all
eternity"
Though asserting that the monetary
cost of the war. direct and indirect,
was $500 900 100000 it was the wo-
men, Governor Cox declared, who
really bore the war cost, for they
paid the price in personal suffering
to provide the rulers Of the earth
with 1O,0O0,O00 men, which were
thrown into the guages Of battle to
placate the anger of the gods OF war"
The league, Governor Cox said, not
only will prevent war, which he as
serted, is its primary purpose, but
also will promote progress. and will
set up or itself become u clearing
house for international justice and So
cial service"
Justice Program of league
The governor detailed the following
social service and justice program
which he asserted member nations
OF the league will endeavor 70 carry
out:
TRY to secure and maintain fair
and humane conditions Of labor for
men, women and children-thus lifting
the standards OF living everywhere
TRY to secure just treatment OF
the native inhabitants Of territories
under their control.
