s75,000.000 for federal aid in building
Of public highways. II enacted law
for the protection of American owned
cable and radio service. II enacted a
new tax measure, which reduces the
public taxation for the current year in
the sum Of sS1s, 100000, the bulk of
which is saved to the man Of medium
income.
In addition to enacting the Budget
Law creating the Budget Bureau, un
der which all economies which have
been made by executive departments
were made possible, the Congress.
upon It's own initiative, cut over $780,
100000 from appropriations requested
by various departments and boards,
thus carrying out the Presidents de-
sire for rigid economy.
In addition to carrying out the Pres.
ident's program II enacted a restrictive
immigration law. II amended the
Edge Act In order to facilitate Amer
ica's foreign trade. II reorganized the
Philippine financial system In order to
save the Islands from bankruptcy as
a result OF maladministration under
the Wilson regime. 1t reorganized the
Indian Bureau and reorganized the
Postal Service and readjusted salaries
in that department In ful1llment OF
the Presidents request, the House
passed a permanent tariff measure
the Fordney Bill. The House also
passed the Dyer Bill. which makes
lynching a federal offense and provides
for federal punishment Of that crime.

them being the enactment of a CO.
operative marketing law; the appro'
priation of funds to relieve the famine
in Russia; the creation Of commits

exempt securities.
Every one of these recommendations
has been enacted into law with the
exception of the one regarding the is
suance Of non-taxable securities and
bill to carry that recommendation into

When the newly elected Republican
Congress was convened in special SEES
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
4 well-deflned program of rehabilita.
tion and reconstruction. In his address
opening the special session Of Con.
sress the President asked the pas
sage Of resolution declaring a state
OF peace between the United States
and the Central Powers. He urged, in
addition, the enactment OF an emer-
sency tariff, a permanent tariff, the
creation of budget system; legisla-
tion providing relief to agricultural in.
terests; federal aid to public high.
ways; a new tax law which would les
sen the burden OF public taxation and
eliminate excess profits taxes; con.
solidation Of the various government
agencies handling relief for ex-service
men; 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 81 The reso.

force and effect June 10, in time to
apply to the new fiscal year beginning
July 1. The Sweet Bill to coordinate
all agencies dealing with ex-service
men was q law by August 8.
In order to assist the agricultural
interests the Congress amended the
War Finance Corporation Act, which
provided a round billion dollars OF new
credit for agricultural and livestock
interests; passed the Packers and
Stockyards Act, the Capper-Tincher

ON APPROPRIATIONS

Any one who has followed the con
duct of the Government since Mr..
Harding's induction into the presi-
dency must marvel at the rapidity
with which the cost of government has
been reduced. 1t is the constant aim
Of the administrative and legislative
branches of the government, all in con-
troll of the Republican Party, to sd-
minister the affairs of the Government
on strictly business basis, expend-
ing not single dollar for any purpose
not essential to the Nations needs
The one thing on which all are agreed
is rigid economy in Government ex-
penditure, and nothing can more forci-
bly, portray the story of accomplish
ment achieved In this direction than
the statement that costs have been
reduced to the extent above indicated.
One billion. FIVE hundred and seven
teen million have been expended on
the care of the wounded and sick sol
diers OF the World War up to Febru-
airy LIST. last. indicating that nothing
has been left undone to provide for
the care and comfort of the men who
gave themselves to the country In its
hour Of need.
The country Is to be congratulated
on having Mr. Harding in the presl.
dency. The problems handed down to
him from the war complicated though
they are, have been solved in the in.
terest of the people. He has had the
Vision to see, the patriotism to do, and
the courage and ability to achieve. His
devotion to the Nations needs has
been the admiration of all who have
watched him. He has been jealous,
painstaking. patriotic, untiring and un-
selfish, and he has had and will have
the hearty cooperation of the Con.
gress in his efforts to put the country
on stable basis. Nineteen hundred
and twenty-three will find America the
only country in the world living within
its income. The people have reason TO
rejoice at this accomplishment OF their
President and their Congress

The estimates submitted by Presi-
dent Wilson for the conduct of the
Government for the fiscal year 1921
amounted to $6,15O, 100000, and the APP
preparations made under these esti.
mates by Republican Congress
amounted to SASS, 900, 900, showing an
approximate saving in appropriations
for that year of $1,4O0OoO,O 900.
The estimates submitted by Presi-
dent Wilson for the fiscal year 1922
We're $5,600,000,000, and the approprla
tons made under these estimates by
q Republican Congress were reduced
TO $4,065, 100000, showing an approx
mate saving of $1,000, 100000
The estimates for the fiscal year
1928 submitted by President Harding
amount to 1888. 100000, and the ap.
preparations, when completed, will
probably be $4,000, 100000, or $685., OO0,-
900 less than the estimates.
The people of the United States
should understand that for many years
to come ii will not be possible to run
the Government for less than $780,
100000 per annum. This seems like
a very large sum, but when II is real
lied that we have three fixed charges,
consisting of interest on the public
debt, sinking fund, and maintenance
Of the Veterans Bureau, which were
created by the war and amount TO ap-
proximately $4,000, 100000 per annum.'
II will be seen that the other expenses
of the Government have been reduced
by the Republican administration to
1880, 100000.
The annual cost of the Government
before the war was s1,250,000,000
Thus II will be seen that the present
cost, aside from the fixed charges re-
ierred to, is but $250,000,000 in excess
OF pre-war cost, and at least $3.50. 0O0.-
900 OF this is accounted for by the
normal increase in the business of the
postal service, leaving but $100,00O.O0O
OF expense for ordinary purposes in
excess OF pre-war costs.

under pressure in the last thirty
minutes today and prices broke
sharply, closing l &c to I 7sc lower
with September $1.061a to S1.07
and December. which showed the
greatest weakness, at SLOT to

oats were Rc to 9! c off and pro-

Wheat showed less activity than
on the previous day and averaged
lower. there being nothing in the
overnight developments to cause
any enthusiasm on the buying side.
While there was considerable sup
port on the breaks in the main it
came from shorts who were taking
profits. A fair decrease in local
contract stocks Is expected to be
shown for the week, the receipts
being 4.932,O00 bushels and ship
ments 4.341. 900 bushels.

Corn and oats were dull, the
trade being mostly of a local char
acter. A summary of reports from
central Illinois indicates a bumper
crop of corn there. but owing to
many oat fields not being cut, the
crop[of that grain will be small.
