Sixteen months ago the Republican
Party took over the management OF
the largest business concern in the
world. II found the organization Of
this concern utterly demoralized as a
result Of eight years OF riotous waste,
gross mismanagement and class leg
isIauon. There was a bonded indebt-
edness Of t23.s97. 100000. Government
bonds were selling at So cents on the
dollar. There we're outs landing loans
to foreign countries Of 81, ,O00, 900. 900,
FOR which there was no written evi.
dence OF indebtedness, much less any
business or legal agreement as to how
and when the loans and interest were
to be paid. The discount rate at Fed.
eral Reserve Banks was rs per cent.
for gilt edge loans. Five million wage
earners we're in idleness. Farmers
faced bankruptcy. Hard times pre-
vailed. Business lived from hand to
mouth. Everything needed readjust-
ment and reconstruction. Such. in
broad way, were the conditions pre-
vailing when this administration took
control Of the country and the present
Republican Congress was called into
special session.
Today we have a President whose
wise, business.like, constructive poll
cies have won the confidence and af.
fection of the American people. He
has surrounded himself with a cab.
met composed of men endowed with
common sense, especially qualified for
the work OF their departments and
devoted to the promotion of public
welfare. AS soon as the administra.
tion assumed control ii called into
special session the Republican Con-
gress to assist 1t in Strengthening out
the situation. Since then the execu.
tive and the legislative branches OF
the government, both under Repub-
lican control, have worked together.
As result of their joint effort there
has been within the last 16 months
marvellous transformation. The bond.
ed Indebtedness has been reduced by
$1,014,O00,0 900. Today every issue of
Liberty and Victory Bonds is selling

OF government securities in 16 months.

President Harding took office on
March 4, 1891. The 1rst complete
fiscal year of government business
under his administration began on
July /, 1921, and closed on June
80, 1929. The Budget Bureau was
created In June, 1871, practically
simultaneously with the commence
ment OF the fiscal year. The esti-
mated expenditures tentatively sub
mitted by the various departments
for the fiscal year 1922 aggregated
81, $50, 900, 900. The operations of
that fiscal year have just closed. By
the application of pressure by the
President, exerted through the
Budget Bureau and with the coopera-
tion OF the heads OF departments and
other administrative officers, the or
dinary expenditures for 1922 actual
ly amount to S3,796. 1000, a re-
duction of s755, 100000 from the
ngure submitted by the departments
at the beginning OF the fiscal year.
The first budget submitted in De-
cember indicated a deficit for this
same fiscal year Of $24, 100000. How
successful the efforts OF the admins
tration have been In holding down
expenditures and conserving revenue
is attested by the fact that instead
OF deficit there was a surplus for
the year of 1914, 100000.
The total public debt of the United
States on June 80, 1921, one year
ago, was $23.977, 900. This sum
had been reduced on June 80. 1922,
to s22,968, 900. 900. a reduction of
81, 1,O14.00O, 900.
The policy of the administration
has been a return to normal condi-
tions in public expenditures. How
well this has been accomplished is
amply reflected by a glance at the ex-
penditure figures Of preceding years.
The Republican party gained con
troll OF the COpgra ass In tho elections
Of 1918 and came into power In Con
Eress on Marc 1919.
During the period the administra-
tion was Democratic and the Congress
was Republican, requests Of the Demo
cratic executive for appropriations
were reduced by the Republican Con
gress by nearly s3.oOO.OO0.OOO.
Appropriations are the yard stick

ON APPROPRIATIONS

I ductions in appropriations and esu-
mates made a most gratifying reduc-
tion In the expenditures. The peak
OF ordinary expenditures was reached
in the fiscal year 1919, $1S,5l4,0OO,-
900. The drop TO the fiscal year 1920
Is most extraordinary, the total for
that year being Sc, ,403, 900, 900. For
the fiscal year 1921 a further reces-
sion brought the total down to S5,-
III, 5,927,6S For the fiscal year
1922 the total, as heretofore stated,
came down to S3,795,00O,0O0 This
sum includes S422,000, 900 of public
debt retirements chargeable to ordi-
nary receipts and should be elimi-
mated from the $3,795.000,0 900 in or
der to obtain a figure comparable to
expenditure figures for the fiscal
years 1919, 1920 and 1921. The
1922 expenditures, therefore, exclu-
sive OF public debt retirements, are
s3.372. 2.6O7.S99. The reduction OF
1922 under 1920 is $1,000. 100000
and the reduction of 1922 under 1921
is s1.74S.S19,7S9.
Evidence of the value of the cen
tralization of Congressional responsi-
bility in connection with the public
appropriations is furnished in the
fact that Congress appropriated for
1923 S3l2,172,292 less than the
Budget Bureau requested. In other
words. although frequently charged
with being the spendthrift branch OF
the government. in point of fact the
Congress appropriated seven per cent.
less than the budget estimates asked
for.
The people of the United States
have Just reason 70 be proud Of the
financial record Of this administra-
tion. While other countries are
struggling with huge deficits in their
budgets and are burdened with enor-
nous taxes and staggering public
debt. the United States has shown
surplus for the fiscal year Just closed
and at the same time accomplished a
most gratifying reduction IN its pab-

urer, Leon Shaw.
The Veconia Society elected the fol-

Our school will have an exhibit at
the County Fair. Most of us look for
ward to the County Fair as an OPP
portunity to meet old friends, have a
good time, and part with some Of our
money. While enjoying these things,
We should not lose sight OF the fact
that the Fair is a great educational
factor in our community life. Here
farmers get new ideas and new and en-
larged vision as to what can be done
In producing better vegetables, fruit.
and live stock. Here people from the
cities, villages, and open country min
gle and learn to respect each other.
One of the most interesting things in
the world is to learn something about
the other fellows job. This mingling
of groups should lead to more hearty
cooperation of all for the best inter-
ests of all. The farmer without the
city as market for his produce would
be in bad way, and the city without
the farmer to produce the raw mater
ial is an impossible situation. The
Golden Rule is becoming more widely
praeticed III the business world and its
wider use will lead to better citizen
ship and to greater prosperity and
happiness for all.

DID You EyFR STOP no THINK

That the pessimist isn't as numerous
as he seems but where ever he is, he
makes an awful noise.
That ability Plus TACT, Plus clever
ness, plus honesty, makes success, and
that is what we are all striving for
That some men think they know il
all, but do they?
That nowadays the business men of
the cities are going to the business
men of the farm, not to teach them
how to farm, but to take counsel with
them concerning their common prob
lens. Chambers of Commerce n
many communities have taken this
step and many additional ones have
broken down the barriers and are
working hand-in-hand with the farm
ers in solution of their common prob
lens.
That "peace of mind" helps you in
your daily work. Have peace of mind
by advertising.
That a good citizen is one who is
willing at all times, to make some sac
rifice of his time and money to adj
vance the welfare of the community
in which he lives. Be good citizen.
That your Chamber of Commerce is
the guage of your citys enterprise,
prosperity and ambitions.
That business must think in the days
of today and tomorrow, not in the days
of yesterday.

bout THE TARIFF BILL
Speech of Hon. j. ID. Beck of Wis
|eonsin in the House of Represent
tatives, Wednesday, Septem-
Der Is, 1922.

Mr.. Beck: Mr.. Speaker, / voted
Sainst this bill when it passed the
buse over year ago. My reasons
r. so doing were stated at the time.
b chief purpose, as / saw it, was to
frpetuate the ruthless proiteering of
pr days under what was called the
american Valuation" plan. That
AN in name, has been eliminated,
Iough the effect of the excessive rates
this bill viii still encourage thou
/ nds of manufacturers in their mad
Iramble for wealth and protect them
piling up huge profits at the ex-
fnse of the farmers, wage earners,
I'D consumers of manufactured arti-
rs.
1t is said that the duty on farm
'oducts is higher in this bill than in
~ previous one. / think, perhaps,
lat is true. But it is not so much a
|estion of what the duty on farm
'oducts is as it is a question of the
.lation o fthe duty on what the farm
IS sell to the duty on the articles he
Iys. If the duty on one hundred dol
RS worth of hogs, which the farmer
Ills, amounts to $40 and the duty on
lie hundred dollars worth of manufac-
|red articles which he buys also
Mounts to SO, then so far as the
|rm er and manufacturer are con-
jrned, there is no unjust discrimina-
bn. But if the duty on one hundred
|llars worth of manufactured arti-
rs which he must buy amounts to
10 then there is an unjust discrimin-
ion against the farmer.
Let stake a hundred dollars worth
shovels, spades, scoops, scythes and
|e like, the duty under this bill
Mounts to S33 1-3, while the actual
|ty on one hundred dollars worth of
|gs at the price they are bringing
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1922-09-27

Again, manufacturers usually con-
troll their own markets and their own
prices. The steel trust controls its
market; the oil trust controls its mar
kets; also the wooden trust, the leather
trust, the packing trust, the tanning
trust and every other trust. Not only
this but they likewise control the price
of the raw material that goes into the
manufactured article. They say what
they shall receive for the finished pro-
duct and they say what they will pay
the farmer for the raw material. This
puts the farmer to a still further dis
advantage in his struggle for exist
ance. When his hogs, his cattle, his
eggs, his butter, his milk and his
cheese are ready to sell, he has to sell
them. He can't hold them for anoth-
er year or even for another year or
even for another month. He has to
sell them whenever they are ready to
sell. Some of those products are con-
sumed in the localities where they are
produced, but most of them go to the
packers who have facilities for hoard
ing them all, and they do hoard them.
They hoard them to such an extent
that they do not have to buy any
live stock, or dairy products Of the
farmers today, or tomorrow next week
or next year if they do not want to.
They have enough on hand to supply
the trade for that length of time. But
the farmer has to sell them when
ready. Having to sell them when they
are ready, and the packers not having
to buy unless they want to, means that
the packer fixes the price at whatever
he pleases. and the farmer must ac-
cept it, and this bill absolutely under
writes this situation. 1t perpetuates
the profiteering practiced in war times
and the only limit to prices consumers
will have to pay, is their ability to pay.
That is what happened during the war
and it is what will happen under this
bill.
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1922-09-27
,oday amounts to less tban S..

today amounts to less than SIS.
The duty on clock Valued at SIC
is SO. The duty on poultry enough to
pay for that clock, at the price poul-
try is bringing the farmer today, is
only s3.75.
The duty on one hundred dollars
worth of bedspreads, quilts, and the
like, is $40, while the duty on fresh
milk enough to zap for those articles,
at the price farmers are getting for
their milk today, is only 5000.
The duty on a five dollar razor is
$2.70 while the duty on corn enough
to pay for it, at the present price, is
only 80 cents.
The duty on a shotgun valued at
$40 is about $2S, while the duty on
butter enough TO pay for it, at the
present price of butter, is only So.
The duty on a pocket knife valued
tone dollar and twenty-five cents is
about rs cents while the duty on wheat
enough to pay for it is only 80 cents.
The duty on fifty dollar silk dress
is thirty dollars while the duty on eggs
enough to pay for that dress, at the
present price farmers get for eggs,
is only SIC.
What is true of the above articles
is true of practically everything the
farmer has to buy as compared with
what he has to sell He is protected
only one-half to one-ffth what the
manufacturer is protected on his
wares. Nor is this all. The higher
the price of the manufactured article,
the higher the protection. To illus
trate: The duty on suit of under
wear valued tone dollar is about Il
cents. If the value of that suit goes
to two dollars, the duty automatically
goes to "a cents. But the duty on a
bushel Of corn is Is cents and it makes
no difference whether that corn is
worth so cents bushel or ten dollars
a bushel. In other words, the higher
the price of the manufactured article
the higher is the protection, while the
higher the price of farm products the
lower the protection.
