CONGRE SIS

Congress just o W does not appear at its best,
Habitua critics Of that understanding and much-of
tending institution find criticism easier than usual and
more tolerant citizens restve at the spectacle pre-
sented at Washington
Individual senators and representatives can,
ever make plausible defense of their conduct but the
conduct Of Congress whole, and the House of Rep
resentatVes especially appears in anything but fav
orable light
When the chief governing body of the greatest
country in the world finds itself almost helpless to or
ganize and get down business the appointed time
it makes very bad impression. Explanations on the
part of the legislators do not really explain. bust
nesslike nation naturally regards Congress as bust
ness institution, and wants action. Most members of
Congress to regard that body primarily as po-
litical institution The two viewpoints do not coin
eide Perhaps they cannot really coincide but
they can surely come nearer to that ideal than they
do today.
The contrast between the muddle on Capitol Hill
and the clearness of view among the people back
home" is rather remarkable The people, almost every
where, want action along certain lines-especiay tax
reform The sooner Congress gets busy with program
Of practical action that problem the better it will
be for Congress-
AS for poitics-it may be that the very best poll
tcs on the part of any party group or individual at
Washington is to ignore party politics. in the usual
sense, and simply do what the people obviously ~
done.
