increasing tho Public Contempt

WHEN Secretary OF War Weeks recently
w in public address made the asser-
ton that the Congress Of the United States
was steadily losing prestige us n legislative
body capable of functioning efficiently IN
performance of the duties vested in it by
the Constitution great uproar of ndigna
tion was voiced by Democrat and Rcpubli-
can members alike of both houses. The in
ference OF his remark was bitterly resented
in veritabie babel Of violent accusatory
retort. the palpable purpose OF which was
to head off the manifest disposition of the
public to acclaim that the Cabinet officer
had scored a perfect shot.
The vote OF tho Senate on tho flexible
tariff plan by which the President is vested
with authority To increase or decrease tariff
rates within limit of 80 per cent of tho
figures fixed I'm the bill. thus transferring
TO the executive the power heretofore on
clusivoly exercised by Congress to levy
taxes upon the people for the support of
the government was confession of the in
competency which Secretary Weeks had
charged. Those who support this PROPOSE
ton. boldly stated Senator Underwood alb

try, I'VE are incompetent. and. although
Tor 100 years our predecessors have been
able to legisate along these lines. we have
reached the point whore we admit our in
competency"
