CONGRESS AND PRESIDENT
 COMMENDED

The plank in the Republican state platform of Indianaa dealing with national affairs IS worthy the study of every voter, especially those who have any lingering doubt that tne Republicans can make a successful fight thls year based on the record of the Republican Congress and Republican President The plank sums up the achievements of the last fifteen months in a way that must bring con- viction of success to the Republicans and consternation to the Democrats. The plank was as follows:
 ssWe congratulate President Harding upon the accomplishments of the first year of hs Administration which have left his fellow countrvmen and the world his debtors. Under his leadership there was initiated and carried to a successful conclusion the greatest single move ever made toward the end of all war the conference for the limitation of armaments conceived and called by President Harding, it's product being promptly ratified by Re publica Senate.
 '"We have treaties agreed upon in that con ference as great forward steps Tn the interest of the world and humanity.
 ''We commend the business administrator of President Harding The increase Tn value of Government securities and the abolition o1 the nuisance taxes, as well as the improvement in general business, are due to the culmlnatlVe effect of the policies of the Rpublican Ad- ministration.
 'The enactment of the splendeid budget law by a Republican Congress, in response to a request of Republican President is but typical of the hearty cooperation and harmony which exist between the legislative and eX- oIoo of thn it's administration by the Republican party.
 "We commend our Republican Congress for it's splendid record; for the several acts which extend legitimate aid to the basic industry of agriculture; for the laws for the revision and reduction of taxes.
 'We commend Congress for handling the industrial situation as problem ln winch all Americans are vitally concerned, and for It's avoidance of all efforts to cure industrial de- |pression with radical and socialistic remedies which would only work greater injury to the wage earners. By lifting the burden of tax ation Congress benefited the workingmen par ticularlv because they are the ultimate con- sumers who bear the brunt of the heavy taxes.
 "As result, business is experiencing re viva The number of unemployed is less than half of that of year ago. industry is on the upgrade, payrolls are being increased and the wage earners are assured that relief is at hand from the industrial depression in which the Democratic administration left them.
 ''We favor the earliest possible repeal of the present Democratic tariff law, under which there has been widespread depression and un- employment before and since the world war, and the enactment. of protective measure ex- tending to American labor and enterprise tar if rates fully equalizing the cost of production at home and abroad. We predict that the enactment of tariff law adequately protect i've of American labor, in conjunction with the other constructive measures of the Harding Administration, will be followed by complete resumption of industry and an era of pros perity without parallel in our national history..''
