Americas Laboring Classes
Aided BY Republican Party
Army of Unemployed Reduced, Burden of
Taxes Lightened, immigration Re-
stricted. Cost of Living Lowered
and War Menace Removed.
o. 8. REPRESENTATIVE EVERETT sANDERs
NNDIAkA), MEMBER HOUSE COMMITTEE
ON INTERSTATE COMMERCE

According TO estimates given out by
the American Federation of Labor at
that time there were between 5000, 900
and 100000 wage-earners out of EN-
ployment when the Republican ad-
ministration came into power March
4, 1921, This industrial depression
began early in the summer of 1920.
The immediate problem before the Re
publican party was the return to nor
NAL conditions
The underlying cause OF industrial
depression was the prostration OF agri-
culture brought about by the radical
curtailment of agricultural credits by
the Democratic administration. The
American farmer buys 40 per cent. Of
ali manufactured products. His des-
perate circumstances compelled indus.
tries TO curtail production and turn
men into the streets. The Republican
Congress immediately restored agri-
culture TO healthy condition. The
farmer entered the market again as a
buyer OF manufactured goods. The
ranks of the unemployed began to
decrease.
At the time the coal and railroad
strikes were called there was a great
er demand for laboring men than there
was supply.
One of the most important contribut.
ing factors to the Improvement of the
unemployment situation was the early
enactment by the special session of
the Republican Congress of the re-
strictiye immigration law. This was
demanded by the laboring people OF
the United States. Its enactment pre.
vented the incoming of hundreds of
thousands of immigrants who would
only have increased the ranks of the
unemployed and added to the indus.
trial distress. The previous Republi.
can Congress had passed a similar law
but 1t was vetoed by President Wilson
The Republican administration came
into power finding the burden of taxes
very heavy. The working man had TO
bear his share. IL was essential 10

ms fehef That the taxes be reduced
Ihe outstanding feature of the nov
TAX law written by the special session
OF the Republican Congress was an in.
crease OF $500 in the tax exemnt,or
OF the head OF every family who ra-
celVes an annual income of x5 0o0 ~
less. In addition his exemntjon To-
children and dependents was douhiad
from $500 to $500 These exemntions
embrace practically all those on a
wage or salary. 1t includes over
Voo,oo0 heads OF families In orainarv
circumstances. In addition. the nav,
tax law repealed altogether ,ba
nuisance" taxes which WORKING mar
had to pay on everything evervwbara
Tor everything hey bought. It also
repealed all transportation taxes
which were levied on all goods Ebinnad
py freight or express or parcel most
Such taxes were added to the ultimate
cost OF goods and, in the long rim
were paid by the working man All
told, the new tax bill lifted from the
shoulders of the working classes or
this country over 100000, 900 wear
According to report issued by the
U. s. Department of Labor June. 1899
the retail cost of living was gradually
reduced from March. 1921, to the time
the report was issued. The living costs
in no other nation in the world were
reduced during this same time.
The sum and total of one year Of
Harding's administration, so far as il
affects the working people, has been
the elimination of the problem of nm
employment except in those industries
affected by strikes; reduction OF taxes
paid by the working classes in a sum
aggregating nearly billion dollars.

FOWLS FOR BACKYARD FLOCK
Not Necessary to Have Hens of Extra
Good Standard Quality for Egg
Production.

For the backyard flock, kept to pro-
duce eggs only, it is not necessary ia
have hens of extra good standard
quality. What breeders of standard
poultry call choice utility hens are as
good as any for egg production and
cost but little more than ordinary
mongrels. Hens of this grade in the
medium-szed breeds are usually a
little under standard weights, and
have superficial faults-as unsound-
ness of color, or irregularity of mark
lngs or of the shape of the comb
which in no way affect their laying
capacity, but make them unfit for ex-
hibition and undesirable for breeding
purposes.
When buying hens in person, par
iicnlar attention should be given TO

Georgia at it Again

The political pot in Georgia is boil
ing again. Hardly had the state quit
talking about the last primary for
governor before another senatorial
campaign, brought about by the death
of Senator Watson, has thrown the
state into another bitter night with
Governor Hardwick, decisively and
rather ignoniniously defeated for re-
nomination last month by Clifford
Walker, as one Of the leading candi-
dates. And the welkin in the Cracker
State will ring again until next Tues
day, the 18th, when another primary
will be held.

Hardwick to his four opponents on

Germany Producing Heavily
An Essential to Ammunition

London, Oct. 10.-"Germany today
is in far better position to wage an
other war than is Great Britain;
England is dismantling her ammu-
milton plants. while Germany is in
creasing her production of smmuni-
tion." This statement has been mad
before the British Association by DR..
j. A. Marker, formerly director of
research in the Ministry of Munitions,
DR.. Marker declared he was not an
alarmist, but simply recited facts as
he saw them. In 1913 Germany pro-
duced 10000 tons Of nitrogen chiefly
for agricultural purposes, he said,
while the smaller Germany of today
has produced more than twice this
amount.
