When the newly elected Republican
Congress was convened in special ses.
sion April IL, 1921, the nation was still
legally at war with the Central Powers
of Europe and the domestic problems
confronting the country were of great
er magnitude than any previous ad.
ministration in the history of the
United States had ever been called
upon to solve.
The President and the Congress had
a well-defned program of rehabilita.
tion and reconstruction. In his address
opening the special session of Con.
gress the President asked the pas
sage of a resolution declaring state
OF peace between the United States
and the Central Powers. He urged, in
addition. the enactment of an emer-
gency tariff, a permanent tariff, the
creation Of budget system; legisla-
tion providing relief to agricultural in
terests; federal aid to public high
ways; new tax law which would les
sen the burden Of public taxation and
eliminate excess profits taxes; a con.
solidation Of the various government
agencies handling relief for ex-service
men; a maternity and infancy welfare
law; . law to punish lynching by fed
eral statute; encouragement for and
regulation of cable and radio service (;
and. above all else, rigid economy in
appropriations for the operating ex-
penses of the Government.
The best and the conclusive answer
as TO whether or not the Republican
Congress has co-operated with the Re.
publican President in carrying out the
program is the citation of the record
OF accomplished acts. The Emergency
Tariff was a law May 27. The reso-
luton terminating a state Of war be-
tween the United States and the Cen
trail Powers was in full force and ef.
feet July 2. The Budget Law was in
force and effect June 10, in time TO
apply to the new fiscal year beginning
July /. The Sweet Bill TO coordinate
oil agencies dealing with ex-servies
men was a Law by August 0.
In order 70 Assist the Agricultural
interests the Congress amended the
War Finance Corporation Act which
provided q round billion dollars Of new
credit for agricultural and live$toek
Interests; passed the Packers and
etockyards Act, the Cappsr-Tinchsr
Act to regulate grain exchanges and
the Nelson. Curtis Act. which decreased

Waste Is Utilized.
Growers Of canning crops such aS.
peas and sweet corn have for years
past followed the practice Of utilizing
the vines, fodder and other waste in
the form of silage for the feeding of
sheep, beef cattle, or dairy cows, this
practice supplying them with large
quantities of manure. Renewed atten-
ton is now being directed to thS,
practice, and In sections where the
European corn bOrer has made its ap-
pearance many growers have founG,
II desirable to erect silos for the utili-
zation of the surplus material, feed
ing this To their stock. thereby secur-
ing manure for their crops, and also
largely controlling the corn horer.
The United States 4Depa1met of
Agriculture strongly recommends
these practices wherever conditions
will warrant the keeping of'live stock.

Henry Cabot Lodge, opening his

protective duties were necessary for

would have free trade"

All Attempts to Amend

M ure Turned
Down = Membership
Held at Nine, But
Salaries Are Slashed

Washington, Aug. 22:,-The admin
istration bill for creation of fed
eral commission to obtain all facts
possible relating to the coal industry
and on which miners and operators
were denied representation, was
passed tonight by the House 30 to
%.
Three separate attempts We're
made by Representative Bland, Re
publican, Indiana. to amend the bill
so as TO put representatives of the
miners and mine owners on the COM
mission, but all of them failed.
The House voted down a proposal
by Representative Denison, Republic
can, Illinois, to reduce the commits
sion membership from nine to five
but the next moment. by an over
whelming vote, adopted an amend
ment by Representative Bankhead,
Democrat, Alabama, cutting the sal
arv of commissioners from $1,000 10
$500
On the heels Of this it put through,
virtually without objection an
amendment by Representative
Moore, Democrat, Virginia, reducing
the Appropriation for the cost and
upkeep Of the commission from
$500, 600 to 100000.
Chairman Winslow of the inter
state commerce committee. who
handled the bill through the
| House, announced that the commit
tee was not opposed to the smaller
amount.
Four Republicans voted against
! the bill and II Democrats supported
! it, 1t now oes to the Senate, where
the Borah commission bill, slightly
different in some provisions, is pend
ing.
! For a time today Republican
I leaders were thrown off their feet by
action of the rules committee III
voting to present the Bland bill, wlts
its provisions for miners and opef'
ators' representation, as substitute

Harding's opposition to this prorosa
was set forth on Tuesday. The COM
mittee failed on tie vote to recon
slider it's action but later it reported

right of way and opening 1t te

In the end leaders found no rea'
son for the furry for under pa' u
mentary situation the bill was call&'
up by Mr. Winslow in regular Torn
and was considered without d rule.
There was no pronounced opPosl
