CONGRESS WAS ACTIVE.

Washington, Sept. 21.-The extra
ession Of congress called in session
April 11th, recessed August 23rd, be-
ing in session within two days Of four
months and two weeks. During that
time it enacted 65 laws and resolu-
tjons, or more than one for every two
days of the session. While some Of
these were local or private in their
character 1t is a conservative state
ment to say that no session of con-
aress in American history has with
in the same length Of time consider
cd and enacted so many important
law. Neither is there record of any
previous congress working more har-
moniOusly with the president Of the
United States.
President Harding in his message
to congress asked the passage of a
peace re zolution. 1t was done.
He asked an emergency tariff to
help the farmers. 1t was enacted.

ers and press are leading the move
ment to nullify the constitution and
encourage those who are organized
to conduct smuggling on a large scale
and set at defiance the federal laws
regarding prohibition.
Against employment of competent
legal help by the shipping board. This
probably is explained by the fact that
the shipping board is engaged in liti-
cation involving several hundred mil
lion dollars in which parties arrayed
against the government have employ
ed law firms in whose membership are
several former cabinet officers and
other high executives. If the shipping
board is not represented by competent
legal talent, these former democratic
officials stand good chance Of win
ming their cases.

war period and subsequent to it, var

democratic henchmen. Efforts of the
present administration to reduce the
personnel is being attacked by demo-
cratic congressman and the press be-
cause they wish to hold as many
democrats as possible in government
jobs.
Against all constructive policies
IN general proposed by - Harding
administration, probably in the hope
they can block. business. revival and
reconstruction long enough to profit
politically out Of the misfortunes
which such prolongation would bring
to hundreds of thousands of Amer

In brief, the democratic party is
hoping for hard times, suffering, dis
satisfaction and unrest at home, and
calamity, turmoil and general eco
nonaic collapse abroad. because it be-

cratic party upon current issues is
already fixed. 1t has been fixed by
democratic leaders of both houses of
congress by the leading democratic
newspapers by the formal statements
issued by the chairman Of the demo-
cratic national committee and by the
publicity issued by the committee.
This attitude is the chronic demo
cratic attitude of fault finding. A re-
view of the official publicity Of the
democratic party and the position of
the democratic congressional leaders
shows the attitude Of the democratic
party to be:
Against the success of conference
to discuss the limitation of arma-
ments; against the ratification of the
separate peace treaty with Germany
In opposing both these, the party is
presumably obeying orders Of former
President Wilson, as such opposition
is consistent with his position that
unless his formulas regarding peace
treaties and peace movements are ac-
lcepted blindly, there shall be no rati-
I ffication of peace with Germany OF
any movement toward international
disarmament. The democratic organi
zation has already inaugurated Z
propaganda campaign to break th'
peoples faith in the approaching con
ference to discuss armaments and t
discredit it in advance, if possible
This campaign consists largely 0.
downright misrepresentation.
Against refunding foreign loans
The obvious purpose Of democratic
opposition to any plan to refun'
foreign loans and start the payInen
to this country of interest and prin
cipal long overdue, is in continuat'ol
of another Wilson policy which wa
partly carried out before March 4
namely, to make gift to foreigi

INHERITED FROM DEMOCRACY

Impelled, in his own words, by 'the
dissatisfaction expressed in both the
house and senate over the very unsat-
isfactory condition >of the affairs of
the shipping board" the president has
undertaken in his letter to Senator
Jones, the chairman of the senate
committee on commerce, to reassure
members as to the purpose of Mr..
Lasker and his colleagues. He points
cut that the present situation is can
inheritance from the previous admin
istration," and remarks that cit was
no easy thing to bring capable men
to the solution" of difficulties so dis
couraging. And he emphasizes the
sacrifices which Mr.. Lasker and h;s
e.. est advisors have made IN relinq
uishing their private interests for
those Of the government.
That there was need of this re-
miuder the debate in the house that
followed Mr. Madden's very lucid ex
position of the circumstances in which
the present shipping board took con
troll plainly revealed. The story Of
reckless extravaganza naturally pro
vol-es a reaction against the whole

He asked the enactment of bud
get law. 1t was done and the budget |
bureau is organized and functioning |
saving millions of dollars to the tax |
payers Of the country.
He asked a law which would co-or-
dinate the federal agencies engaged
in relief Of ex- service men. 1t was
enacted and the Veterans Bureau,
created by that law, is funct ;oning.
He asked law which would pro-
tect American owned cable services.
It was enacted.
He asked the Inauguration Of rigid
economy in public administration.
Congress responded by rejecting nu-
merous requests for public appropria-
tions which it did not deem abso-
lutely essenti al, and closely scrutiniz-
ed appropriations which were made
to the established departments of the
government
He asked a new tax bill and the
house, wherein all revenue measures
must originate, passed a bill. One of
the purposes of the present recess Is
to enable the senate finance commit
tee, undisturbed by attendance upon
regular sessions, to give undivided at
| tention to the new tax bill and the
new tariff bill.
In add ton to the above measures,
congress enacted an immigration re-
striction law; the packers and stock
yards act; an act preventing gambl-
ing in grain futures; an act making
available for the farm loan banks $25,
10000 extra capital; the agricultural
credits act, which is an amendent to
the war finance corporation act and
makes it possible for that corpora
tion to utilize up to a billion dollars
in providing credit for agricultural
purposes and to aid in the exporta-
tion Of agricultural products; an act
providing relief to the government of
the Philippines by increasing its le-
cal indebtedness; an act providing for
consolidation Of independent telephone
companies, whsreby losses through
unwise duplication may be eliminated
and the public may be given more
satisfactory service and more reason

undertaking. Why throw good mon
ey after bad? Thus the sum asked
for by the board was sharply scaled
down, and limits were placed on the
higher salaries and the number of
those receiving them. "The error
heretofore committed" says the presi-
dent, "seems to have been the en-
ployment of incapable men at exces-
sive salaries. But that is no reason
why capable men should not now be
employed at adequate salaries. Even
so, as The president agrues, these sal
aries are less than they have been
getting or could get. "Under these
cond tions," he adds, "and because OF
the fact that hundreds of millions are
involved, it is unavoidable that some
compensations in responsible places
are much beyond the ordinary run of
government compensations.
"The staggering losses in opera
tion," to quote the president again
"can only be cured by a board of op-
orators whose members know some
thing concerning the business. Too
man men who knew nothing about tht
business have hitherto attempted tC
run it. And they have left it in sucl
shape that its rehabilitation cannot
be achieved in a day. The present
depression in the shipping business
which makes the work 50 much hard
er, is a factor that time alone cal
remove.
Briefly, the immediate duty of tht
oard IS literally to bring order ou
E chaos. It starts with a well-nigl
hopeless muddle-enormous losses

ebts and unsettled claims, and

dreds of women have quit office work
because the wages offered are no
longer attractive and they have re-
sumed their former status Of living at

both sexes who left the country have
returned to the farm.
Until some estimate can be made
Of what percentage of those who have

Of idleness cannot be known. The

vice if it gives to the country an ac-

situation.
It is firmly believed by those who
have made studies of the situation

unnecessary evaggeration regarding
the number of people who are idle
They also believe that of the num-
