which has never been equalled in its
history. This important industry,
which directly affects one-third of our
population and indirectly affects every
industrial, commercial and financial
activity, was facing bankruptcy. In
order to assist the farmer in this
period of economic distress the Re-
publican Congress enacted an elab-
crate program of agricultural rehabili-
tation. This program of constructive
legislation in behalf of the American
farmer is without parallel in the an
nails of American legislation. The sub.
stantial effects Of this legislative pro-
gram are now apparent on every hand.
Notwithstanding the Republican
Congress elected in 1918 and assem-
bled in special session in 1919 had
appropriated hundreds of millions for
ex-service men, the administration of
these funds by the various executive
agencies controlled by the Democrats
had been such that the ex-service men
had received a minimum of benefit
from the funds. A large part of this
was due to lack of coordination and
cooperation of the various bureaus
One Of the greatest pieces of construc-
tive legislation of the Republican Con.
gress was the consolidation of the va
rious agencies dealing with the ex-
service man under the one head of the
Veterans Bureau. This assures expe-
dition as well as fair and adequate
treatment of our disabled ex-service
men.
In addition to this consolidation and
reorganization additional millions were
appropriated for the use of the Blu
reau. American ex-service men of the
World War have been better treated
at the hands of the Republican Con-
gress than the ex-service men of any
previous war in American history and
better treated than the ex-service men
Of any other nation engaged in the
World War. And the end is not yet.

TIE Republican Party gladly goes
to the country upon its record of con-
struct;ve work, confident that the
memory of eight years of Democratic
misrule is too vivid in the mind OF the
public to leave any doubt as to the
decision of the American people as to
which party should have control OF the

into control of the United States Con
gress. The operating cost of the
United States Government in the year
1919 was $19.00O,000,O0O. That year
the Republican Congress began to
function. 1t used blue pencil upon
the appropriations asked by the Demo-
cratic administration chiefs. The OPP
Grating costs of the Government in
1920 we're only s7,500,000,000. The Re-
publican Congress continued to econo
mize, and the cost of running the Gov
eminent in 1921 was reduced to S.
500,000000. Much of this was the
residue of the Democratic administra-
ton. By close cooperation between
the executive departments and the
Congress- in 1921, the expenditures or
the Government for the current year
are to be not in excess of $4,OOO,OOO,-
600, and economies which have been
put into effect give promise of cutting
this to $3,500,000,000. In connection
with this, Congress has enacted the
foreign-debt funding law, which au-
thorizes a commission to take imme-
date steps to place our loans to
foreign countries in collectible shape,
so that we may begin to receive the
interest and principal due us and
thereby still further reduce our do
nestle taxation.
In summing up, it may be stated
that the Republican Party in March,
&hn xuith
tions with many foreign countries
strained to almost the breaking point,
her fundamental principles under dis.
cussion, her historic significance In
question, her population surfeited with
the profits of war and wild extrava-
gance, her industries inflated by over
expansion from war demands, and
problems of reconstruction compli-
Gated and imminent.
Today sees peace again established
with all countries, foreign relations re-
sumed with honor to ourselves and
complete Justice to others, the finest
attitude of the world toward our moral
leadership as evinced in the arms con.
ference, a policy of proper regard for
the defenders of the nations rights,
an economic administration upon the
soundest principles of economy, a re-
duction of our public funded debt to
the amount of 100000, and re-.
duction of our floating debt Of $780,
100000, a reduced taxation OF over
three-quarters of a billion dollars per
year, a rejuvenated agriculture and
industrial fabric sorely distressed by
the havoc of war, the prospect OF gem
eral employment Of American labor
in American industries, the only coun-
try which not only is balancing its
budget, but has really reduced the war
debt, has restored its credit, and dis
plays signs of promise on all hands OF
a resumption again of our happy and
promising stage which preceded the
inauguration of the Democratic foibles
of the new freedom and policies OF
suspicion and persecution of success.
Such is the achievement of the frst
year of the Republican administration
in control of both the executive ana
legislative branches of our Govern
ment
But it should be noted that all OF
this splendid program has been car
ried out in the face of the persistent
opposition of the solid Democratic
Party, which has attempted to defeat
every effort to rehabilitate the nation,

(By Rep. Simeon D. Fess (Ohio),
Chairman Republican Con-
gressional Committed

The World War bequeathed to the
United States, in common with every
other nation gigantic debts, tremendous
expenditures, burdensome taxes, dis
jointed economic conditions and gen.
eral unrest. No previous administra-
ton since the establishment of our
Government came into power with
greater domestic problems demanding
solution at its hands than confronted
the Republican administration on
March 4, 1921.
Immediately upon the Inauguration
of. the President and his call of the
special session Of the Congress pro.
gram of rehabilitation was outlined
and work Immediately commenced to
consummate it. Undesirable immigra-
ton was flooding the country This In
creased unemployment, rendered more
difficult a solution of our industrial
problems, while the character of many
of the immigrants was menace to
our social and political institutions. To
protect American labor and American
institutions against this invasion law
was enacted limiting further immigra
ton to but three per cent. of the ma
tionals already in America.
The first necessary step toward eco
nomic readjustment was necessarily
reduction of expenses and balancing Of
the budget. One of the earliest meas
ures enacted by the Republican Con
gress was the budget law. The pre-
vious Republican Congress had en-
acted a budget law, but it was vetoed
by President Wilson. The law went
into effect July 1, 1921, in time to apply
to the fiscal year beginning on the
same date. Whatever economies have
been effected by reason of the Budget
Bureau since that time are to be cred
tied to the early action of the Repub-
lican Congress in putting the law on
the books which created the Budget
Bureau and made it's operation pos.
sible.

of the womanhood of the country.
This great piece Of humanitarian leg
islation is the first of an ambitious
program of progressive legislation
espoused by women in their new
sphere of political activity.
The Republican Congress enacted a
new taxation measure. This new
measure reduces during the current
year the public tax bill in the sum OF
$818,000,000 1t increases the exemp
tons allowed the man of moderate in
come; it repeats the nuisance" taxes;
all Of the transportation taxes, which
were heavy burden upon agricultural
and industrial shippers; it repealed
the excess profits tax and reduced and
revised the surtax
In this connection it is interesting
to set down the actual reduction of
public expenditures which have taken
place since the Republican Party came
