farmers have gone them one better. There
are several distinct organizations represented
in Washington but they work together and
keep in touch.
The republican party once claimed to have
a lien upon the political allegiance of the farm
ing class of the north. but elections of later
years have shown that 1t was not infallble.
The politicians are speculating upon whether
the administration and the party in power will
realize in the gratitude of The farmers for the
legislation of this Congress.
X X
1t will dawn upon the country pretty soon.
1t is predicted by officials that the new Vet
erans' Bureau. created by the Sweet bill. which
was signed by the President Tuesday, is to be
one Of the big business institutions of the gov
ernment. 1t is to operate for the benefit of the
soldiers of the world war, and is destined
expand. it is held, far beyond even the limits
visoned
The bureau is the last word in the co-ordi-
nation of governmental activities for a given
purpose, and a practical illustration of the
elimination of duplication. red tape and gen.
eral waste of effort and of lost motion.
Its operation is being watched with deep in
terest by congressman. who are keenly alive to
the criticisms which have been heaped upoa
the government for the asserted and frequently
proven failure of the government to function
the people desired and Congress ordered in
behalf of the veterans. These criticisms have
hurt, for congressman know that they have
trie0 10 snelp the veterans III every way pos
sible. They have provided means which have
frequently been misused and wasted. not
through i'll will indifference of the
various government agencies but because the
operations diffused that they
Tapped and failed in various ways.
X X X
The next big step in the same direction
will be taken when the departmental reorganiza-
tions effected, and the duplication and
waste efforts corrected in that quarter.
What the Sherman act sought to prohibit in
trade. the government intends to put into ef-
feet in its organizations. and will eventually.
do SO. though it may be a long time coming.
Consolidation and coordination is recognized
as an economic factor as valuable to Uncle
Sam as to commercial trust.
Possibility of the general tarin revision bill
being delayed until the winter session begins
is being seriously discussed In order to guard
against the contingency of no bill at this

Members of Congress Are Delighted
That President Is Back in Capital

Doesn't 1t beat all how suspicious any oppo-
sition party Is when 1t Is in the minority?
4 X X
Republican spirits, which had been some
what droopy during the Presidents absence
and their time Of uncertainty over taxes and
ALL began to pick up amazingly after the
ference with the President and the decisions
reached thereat to slash away at taxes and
expenditures 1t would be little bit brash
to claim that the republicans feel that they
are yet far enough out of the woods to crow
very loudly but they undoubtedly think that
they are making headway toward the clearing.
1t Is safe to say that no party in power in
recent years has been confronted upon the
threshold Of its incumbency with more vexa-
tious problem difficult Of solution. That tax
proposition. 1t must be borne in mind. was not
susceptible to the application Of theory OF
political policy: but was hard. cold fact. to be
assailed only by the application of economic
law.
Yet they had boldly announced in the
paign that 1t would be handled by them In
definite way and promptly. the definite way be-
ing material reduction of the taxes. President
Harding and the Congress leaders have had
this promise facing them at every turn in the
proceedings and have not lost sight of it for
an instant.
X 4 X
The farmer has most assuredly been well
treated by this Congress- and the party isn't
over yet. President Harding at the confer
ence with the leaders upon his return again
took occasion to remind them that his interest
in the measures designed for the agricultural
class was unabated, and that in their plans for
recess or adjournment he did not wish them
overlooked
Beginning with the emergency tariff, at the
outset of the extra session, bill after bill of
Importance to the farmers has been started
through the legislative mill. The bill to regu-
late the packing industry pushed. The
bill to prevent gambling in grain is going
through. The first law for the enlargement
of credit for the benefit of the farmers was
followed by the pending extension of credits
through the federal agency provided. Exports
are to be encouraged. and the judgment Of
thoughtful men in Congress and the admins
tration is that some real benefits will accrue
to the farmers from the credit bills.
Congress is we'll aware that the farmers are
we'll organized and represented. and to this
fact may be ascribed. in part, the solicitude
of the law-making body for the tillers of the
soil. Next to labor. the farmers are classed
as the best-organized element of the popula-
tion at present There was time when the
manufacturers were thought to be the most
potential. through their organization. but the

BY N. O. MESSENGER.

~ RESIDENT HARDING came back to the
u capital after his brief vacation in, the
north to be received, fgurattveiy, with
open arms by the Congress leaders, who
had been awaiting his return to talk over the
subjects causing them greatest concern. reduc-
tion of taxes and appropriations. Congress
leaders themselves would be the first to resent
the mputation that the legislative branch
seeking dictation from the executive over its
duties, responsibilities and prerogatives under
the Constitution. but nevertheless they
powerful pleased" to see the chief executive
and tell him their troubles.
Congress and the Treasury had been going
over the figures relating to taxes and appro-
priatons and had come to no resolution there
on. the congressman being disposed to hold that
savings could be effected in expenditures and
taxes could be cut to greater degree than
estimated by the Treasury. After taking sec
ond look at House Leader Mondelrs compila-
tions and getting the Presidents views. by and
large. the Treasury came to the viewpoint Of
the House leader. and thought that the thing
might be done.
X X X X
The net result of the conference with the
chief executive was the determination Of the
ways and means committeeman to go at tax
reduction with a broadax and make wider
slash than was thought possible some time ago.
The, prospect of possible recess of Congress
soon tax bill passes the House the
tempting lure which melted the legislators to
renewed activity, and the following day
them busjly engaged upon the project.
So. for a day two the lay reader
presented with bewildering, arrays of figures
running into the millions. dealing with sur
taxes. excess profits. retroactive effect of tax
reduction provisions and all that sort Of thing.
It's wonderful how easy 1t is to discuss these
amazing totals in money when they relate to
governmental finances. and the question is how
successfully the lay reader can couple them up
with his own tax bills.
X X X X
Skeptical democrats in Congress still
failed to enthuse over the republican hopes of
making great inroads into the taxes in ef-
fecting notable savings in expenditures. For
the good of the country they hoped 1t could be
done. but political considerations fed the fame
of their doubt. 1t whispered among the
democrats that they might find political capital
in the fact that the republicans propose to
tackle excess profits and luxury taxes. which
they will represent anording the last reduc-
tions to be made
They will also. it is declared. be the
lookout to call the opposition to account If 1t
is caught seeking to postpone expenditures in
stead of reducing them. .r.~-.,> :
