regular contributor in the past, who,

"a great opportunity for construc-
tive work has been lost. The tariff
bill is a colossal blunder. A bonus bill
is about to be passed which will raise
the already high cost of living and
add from $4,000,000,000 to $1,000.

"As a Republican, my only consola-
ton is that we have an earnest and
patriotic president and that he has
gathered around him a cabinet Sec

which is overwhelmingly Republican
and at the some time overwhelmingly
inefficient"

from Charles M. Warner, president Of
the Warner Sugar Refinig Co., head
of the Warner-Quinlan Asphalt Co

There's no need to educate the pub

gress is the most inefficient in tn
history of the nation and that it mus

November elections.-State Journal,
