ADAMS PRAISES
67TH CONGRESS-;
HULL D|SSENTS
Opinions as Opposite as the
Poles Are Expressed by
National Chairmen Of
Two Great Parties.

Washington, Sept. 2c,~-Opinions
as opposite as the poles regarding
the record of the siXty-seventh
congress were expressed tonight in
formal statements by the national
chairmen of the two great political
parties.
Speaking for the republican Or
ganization. Chairman John T..
Adams declared that mo congress,
in time of peace ever made such a
splendid record" while on the DEM
ocratic side Chairman Cordell Hull
asserted that mo other congress
ever so signally failed to grasp
great opportunities or meet import
ant responsibilities.
The budget law, reduction of
taxes, the peace settlement. the
tariff, the veterans bureau act. and
agricultural and public roads re-
forms were among the legislative
land marks enumerated by Mr..
Adams as indicating the ''construc-
tive" pathway followed by the re-
publican senate and house.
"Newberryism." "Daughertyism,'
the strike record, a treasury defic
farm prices and failure to reorg
ize government departments, a,
the Ford Muscle Shoals propose.
suppress profiteering and settle the
Mexican problem were included in
the amazing record of non
achievement rccitod by Mr.. Hull
Reduced Public Taxes.
Congress, said Mr.. Adams, ere
duced public taxes 100000, 1t
unsparingly cut public appropria-
tions. It found 100000 men idle.
TO prevent rurther aggravation of
the unemployment situation, it
enacted the restrictive immigra
ton law. 1t found agriculture fac
ing ruin and assisted it on its feet
by the enactment Of n series Of
laws which afforded both tempo
rary and permanent relief to the
agricultural interests.
ut enacted a permanent tariff
which insures industry and agri-
culture alike protection and the
working man steady employment
at a good wage. 1t granted liberal
aid for public roads. strengthened
the enforcement OF the federal
prohibition amendment, created
more federal courts to relieve tho
congestion OF business and expe-
dite justice and created a commits
sion to investigate the coal indus
try.
No Class Legislation.
at enacted no destructive, no
sectional, no class legislation. No
congress. in time of peace. ever
made such splendid record of
constructive legislation"
"A patient and long suffering
public" Mr.. Hull said. will well
come the Adjournment OF the pres-
ent republican congress, which
promised more and achieved less
than any other legislative body in
history. No previous congress has
been so generally condemned by
leading citizens, irrespective Of
party, on account of its utter lack
of constructive ability, statesman
ship and fidelity to the American
people. No other congress ever so
signally failed to grasp great OPP
portunities or to meet important
responsibilities,
THE outstanding events in the
record OF the administration thus
far are, the unprecedented repub-
lican industrial panic of 1921-22.
the unparalleled treasury deficit of
$3.50, 100000, the highest level of
taxes and transportation ever
known in peace time. the long
series of scandals, economic and
social democratization and utter
lack of any definite permanent
foreign or domestic policies"
