Flood of Laws Passed

cogress wocld quickly be abolish

greatly curtailed. But most of
the laws have little or nothing TO
do with the everyday life of the
everyday man; or at least if they
do, somebody takes care of them,

And in spite of the amazing
crop of laws which congress has

Senators Afraid
Calder Charges
Lame Duck" Emits
Thrilling Swan Song"
In Senate Chamber

Washington, March 1.-The vot-
es of United States Senators are
controlled by fear-fear of po-
litical consequences, Senator Cald-
err, New York, declared today in
in one of the most remark
able "swan songs" heard in the
senate in recent years.
Calder, who retires to private
life next Sunday, in delivering
his farewell, severely arraigned
the senate for its lack of courage
/ in dealing with great public ques-
tions.
"The trouble here" he said,
SIS that we have been afraid t.
tell the truth; we have been afraid
to act on the truth. We are
fearful of every move that we
make and every vote that we
cast.
"a reelected Senator recently
said to me that he had made it
przctice never to vote against
bill which a considerable group
of his people favored. We were
talking of the Esch-Cummins bill,
the soldier bonus and the prohi-
bition law.
as it possible that the men
who represent the nation in con-
gress realize what this serious
state of affairs will eventually
lead to in our national life?"
Calder roundly condemned the
formation of blocs in congress,
and pleaded for an end of sec
tionalism in legislation. He re-
piled with spirit to the farm
bloc attacks on New York bust
ness interests, declaring them un-
fair and showing a lack of UNI
derstanding.
81 should like to appeal here
for the ending of all blocs or
petty sectionalism," said Calder.
81 appeal for a better spirit.
81 have sat in amazement and
heard men in this body denounce
New York and its business in
terests-our banks, our business
ethics and our shipping meth
DDS. They forget that New York
is theirs that we are their bank
err, their market place, the port
through which their commerce
comes and goes. If the farmer
is prosperous, it the wheat grow
ers of Kansas, the corn growers
of Iowa and the cotton grow.
ers of the South have good crops
and fair prices, this is immedi-
ately reflected in the prosperity
of New York; if crops are poor
and prices low, New York re-
cords the fact and we all suffer"
Calder devoted large portion
of his swan song to discussion
of the railroad problem. He said
he made "a grave mistake" when
he voted for the Esch-Cummins
transportation law. Unless pri-
vate operation of the railroads
is encouraged, and they are left
free from harrassing laws and
governmental control, "the farm
er and the workingman will find
they have been grossly misled by
their champions, loose thinking,
uniformed men who have been
loud in their denunciation of the
railroads, working ignorantly to-
destroy that which they do not
understand" Calder said.
