A Congress of Cowards"

NlTBD STATES SENATOR GEORGE H.
- NOSES, of New Hampshire, in q speech
delivered under the auspices OF the Commit
tee OF American Business Men in New York
CITY, took the national lawmaking body
severely to task, describing 1t as Con
gress of cowards." Within the scope Of
MS denunciation he included the agricul-
tural bloc, the bonus bill, cowardy Sena-
tors, dollar-for-dollar appropriations for
recommending purposes and the maternity
bill and Its appropriations.
In respect to the maternity bill he de-
clared 100000 was appropriated to or
gantze bureau to administer $4S0,00o
fund. Tho maternity bill gave each State
$4,000. which, he said, makes part of the
wedding present of every bride a set of
pamphlets printed at government expense.
The maternity bill" he declared turns
loose each day thousands OF bobbed-h hair,
horn-spectacled, lat-chested old maids in
each community, who pry into the secrets
OF the household" He said the citizen
Is hedged in by governmental regulations
every hour in the day. He rides to work In
street car paying fare decided by bu-
reau and goes in the evening to see motion
pictures that are regulated by commission
ers. What was the land of the free has
become the region of the regulated. The
phrase "for the general welfare" under
which many appropriations were made is
the most abused term in the Constitution,
the Senator declared.
He was particularly severe on the branch
Of Congress In which he himself holds MEM
bership. An organized minority rules tho
Senate, he declared Three bills have been
put across by organized minorities and an
other Is now being put through by the So
called agricultural bloc" which is com
posed of nineteen lawyers. one editor, one
well driver, and one sewer pipe manufac-
turer, he said
II it were not that the representatives in
Congress Of both parties are alike guilty OF
the cowardice of which the New Hampshire
Senator accuses them, he would make
good teammate to send along with Chair
man Hull, OF the Democratic National Com
mittee. to stir the voters up to a sense of
their duty in the coming elections. Anyway,
courageous speeches like this will cause
the people to do some much-needed think
ing, and it is to be hoped that Senator Moses
will deliver several more along the line of
his New York address. The animals" need
stirring up.

hopeful that "the farm will be settled fact
before the July meeting Of Council"
Council, at least in so far as it Is repre-
sented by the special committee, has taken
hold of this project with degree of vigor
that must be most gratifying to the people
OF the community. The diligence charac-
terizing the preliminary survey Of available
sites suggests keen individual enthusiasm
for the city farm proposal, as we'll as official
responsiveness to strong popular demand.
If there Is an equal measure OF interest in
Council as whole, the July meeting will
find the farm "a settled fact" and an ex-
cellent piece of work for social betterment

The Useless Bland RiII

y REPRESENTATIVE BLAND Of indian,
y has offered in the House bill providing
for the establishment OF an agency or com
mission TO bring out the facts relating to
me coal industry in the United States, and
sentiment in that body seems to be favor
able to the idea The bill IS based ON tbe
thought that the facts must first be ascer
iained before any intelligent measures can
be devised to rescue this industry from 1he
demoralized condition which has attended
it. for years and from which there apnears
TO be little prospect of relief in the futurs
Chairman Gaskill, of the Federal Trade
COMMISSION mas expressed his general ap-
prevail OF the Bland bill. Declaring that tho
coal industry above anything else needs a
disinterested body to inquire into its condI
tons and Its problems" he suggested that
snch commission as contemplated in the
oill should be made up Of disinterested en-
gineers He predicted that such body
would find the knot in this matter to lie
III the field OF distribution of coal" Asked
by MT. Bland, author OF the bill, how the
problem OF overproduction could be met, he
said: Agreements to limit production are
absolutely illegal in an industry. and vet
they can become absolutely necessary. The
only way they can be brought about in emer
gencies without being combinations in re-
straint OF trade is to have the government
a party to them in an industry so that the
agreement will come off when the emergency
has passed" Chairman GasklI said his
commission traced one car OF coal from the
mines to the consumer in 1920, and found
that 1t had been sold from one man to an
other twelve times and, that every seller
took profit out OF It,
While the thought which inspired the
Bland bill is sound. 1t proposes to under
take work for which Congress previously
made provision when 1t created the Federal
Trade Commission, specifically authorizing
1t to collect information OF ownership. pro-
duction costs, prices and profits of coal
mining concerns whose product entered into
interstate commerce. Then mark what ham
Dened. When the Federal Trade Commits
sion undertook to do this, certain coal
mine companies sought and secured an in
junction by the Supreme Court OF the Dis
trict OF Columbia, and that injunction has
been made permanent on the ground that
Congress cannot constitutionalIy authorize
the commission to do the things specified
In the act creating It,
SO, 1t would appear to be a waste of effort
