WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, D. c., Dec. 12.-Clos-
ing critical review Of the work OF
the special session of Congress which
adjourned sine die on the eve Of
Thanksgiving, Representatives FINS
J. Garrett (Ten.), who has acted as
Democratic leader in the House with
ability and real distinction, gave add
ed emphasis to the failure of that ses-
sion when hefsaid:
81 have a pretty firm belief that to-
morrow in a million homes in America
praise will go up in which the thought
will be expressed, ave thank Thee, o
Lord, for at last putting it into the
hearts of the leadership Of that Re-
publican Congress the thought that it
should adjourn sine die Applause
on the Democratic side, which prob
ably will be re-eckoed throughout the
country when this is read.)
Mr.. Garrett declared that all the
good legislation passed at the special
session was non-partisan, presented as
such, discussed as such and passed as
such.
upon those matters vital to the
country" he said, upon those su-
preme matters considering which the
party now in power promised relief
to the people of the country, there has
been a disgraceful, distressing and,
what is destined to be to that party, a
disastrous failure.
He cited as nom partisan legislation,
the Budget Act, the Road Act, the AL
askan Railroad Act, the War Veterans
Al INN
grafton Restriction Act and others,
some of which originated with the
Democratic party and some of which
was re-enactment of Democratic leg
islation, but all of which was passed
without party division.
Among his telling points was that
Senator Penrose, the Republican
Chairman of the Finance Committee,
admits that the bill is a temporary
measure and makcshift, meaning
that the work must all be done over
again, and then Mr.. Garrett asks:
"If with more than two thirds of
this House and almost as great a ma
jority CT tie Senate, after years of re-
sponsibility and long months of ira
vail you can give the people nothing
but a makeshift, temporary, transi-
torial measure, when, pray, may we
expect a different one?"
He said the Republican party was
confronted by these alternatives. "If
they had delayed action on the Tax
bill from the extra session Of 1919
(called by President Wilson to revise
the tax laws) until after the presi-
Dental election of 1920 for political
purposes, the party stands convicted
of resorting to methods violating all
ethics and craftsmanship and should
be turned from power; if on the other
hand they had done their best con-
scientiously, then they stand convict
ed of stupidity and utter incompe-
tency."

Old Guard Baked on Big Tax Cuts on
Big Incomes

Big Incomes
Senator Hitchcock (Dem., Neb.) J, in
the following analysis, showed how
the reactionary Republicans attempt
ed to favor the possessors Of large in
comes and discriminate against the
small income taxpayer. and how the
Democrats and western Republicans
cut in half the reductions made on the
big incomes:
AS reported by the committee, this
so-called tax reduction bill proposed
reduction Of $40 year on incomes
of $4,000 a year, and, of course, on
incomes of less than $4,000 a year
the reductions were still more insig-
nifcant.
Reaching an income of 100000 a
year the Finance Committee proposed
to the Senate a reduction of $24,370.
That is to say, man enjoying an in
come of 100000 year was to be
given relief to the extent of $24,370
in the tax that he had been hereto
fore paying.
When we reach a man with an in
come of 100000 year we find that
the committee asked the Senate to re-
duce his taxes to the extent of $751;
| 730 year.
When we reach the man with an in
come of half million dollars a year
we find that the head of the Finance
Committee and the Republican man
ayers of the Senate proposed to re-
duce his taxes $114,730 a year.
When we reach the citizen who has
an income of a million dollars a year
we find that it was proposed to give
him relief from taxation to the extent
of 1914, 730.
l am not going further than the
man with an income of $5,000,000 a
year. There are a good many men
who have larger incomes than $5,000,-
900, but in the case of every man hav-
ing an income of $5,000,000 year this
committee, inostensibly carrying out
the pledge of tax reduction for the
country, proposed to reduce the taxes

That Marion Election

Senator Pat Harrison, one of the
most brilliant and the best-natured
man in Congress, could not resist
commenting on the late election in
Marion, made famous by burnt cork,
gum and Col. Harvey. He said:
"a little while ago there was an
election in New Mexico and next day
we heard much talk about it; but we
have not heard Republicans saying
anything about the election the other
day. Even the city of Marion, that is
famed now throughout the world for
having during the last presidential
campaign entertained Al Jolson, the
black-face comedian, and other actors
and great baseball players, whose ex-
penses were paid by Mr.. Wrigley, the
chewing gum man, who contributed
literally to the Republican campaign
fund and offered to the Republican
campaign committee last year all the
electric signs in all the cities to be
transformed from 'Wrigley's' to
Harding and Coolidge and whose
services the Finance Committee re-
warded so literally in the considera-
ton of the tax bill by taking off the
tax on chewing gum, which action
was sanctioned and approved by
majority in this Chamber say that
the City of Marion, which was made
| famous by AL Jolson and Wriggley
ad George Harvey, who sat around the
front porch advising and counseling
and who since has disgraced America,
I and which was made famous also by
being the home of the President Of
the United States, the other day turn
ed out a Republican and went Demo
cratic by big vote. We did not hear
anything about that from the other
side"

Everybody Giving Congress He'll"
Here is the opinion of Congressman
William R. Wood of Indiana, a stall
wart Republican, spoken on the floor
Of the House. November II, concern
ing public opinion of this Republican
Congress:
~ know the very serious condition
that is prevailing throughout the laid.
l am only speaking the truth when l
say that the people of this country
employed in every vocation and in ev-
cry character of business are giving
this Congress hell. They are doing it
because we have done nothing to
stimulate business. They are doing it
because we have done nothing to give
employment to the unemployed. They
are doing it because we have done
nothing to benefit the farmer and
stimulate the price of the farmers
products.

Does Safety First
 Apply To Flivvers?
 Gidley Says It Does

w. w. Gidley was formerly safety
 first chief for the Copper Queen. While in charge of this department he was an ardent supporter of the
 safety first" movement. But now his enthusiasm knows no bounds, for Gidley is in the Copper Queen hospi- tai as the result of not having prac-
 ticed safety first on flivver. When Gidley's job was the proven tion of accidents by doing away with causes of accidents, he had Safety First" signs and cards figuratively hanking all over him. The two words occupied his time continually. Yesterday Gidley went into his ga- rage to crank his flivver. Somehow or other he forgot about safety first" Gidley turned on the switch, stepped in front of Lizzie and spoke words of encouragement. tThen he gave the crank jerk. LizZie's low gear was in and the flivver respond ed nObly. With snort and jump the flivver started for Gidley. A few moments later the garage resembled Belgian home after a German offen- seive.
 Gidley was taken to the hospiatl. No bones were broken and his injuries are not considered serious, but he is now certain that, if safety first" should be applied anywhere it should apply first of all to flivver.
