WASHINGTON. Nov. rs. The
Tonnage OF vessels actually under
construction in British yards is the
smallest for II years. according to
an analysis OF Lloyd's shipbuildins

A Specific illustration Of the pres.

that launchings on the Clyde during

The Faithful WheeIborse

UNCLE JOE remained in congress for+v.sir
" years Longer than most people live, reckoned
IN time. And when he retired, early in the month,
and babe the old halls farewell forever, he held
pretty much the same general views as when he
first arrived in Washington. They were plain
honest convictions respecting government. 1t was
pure doctrine from the founders, and it was al.
ways in style. Methods changed in the years but
principles remained always the same.
1t was characteristic Of him, in his final OBJ.
servations upon the work in which he had so long
been engaged to say what he did. 1t describes ex.
actly the part he bore-a wheelhorse. And what
he did say bears repetition;
owe talk about the leaders in Congress and what
they will do to restore normally, but leaders in
Congress are omewhat like leaders in the old
four'horse team. When l drove such a team many
years ago l relied moro on the wheel horses that
wore heavy breeding and held back on the down.
grade, as well as pulled for all they were worth on
the up grade. They were not so gay as the leaders.
with the lighter harness sometimes wearing
plumes and bells to make a fine showing and mu,
sic as they pranced along at the head of the team,
giving tho impression they were the whole guiding
power instead of being directed by n single line
from tho driver astride the near wheel horse.
II have seen some leaders in Congress who re.
minded me of the leaders in that old fourlhorse
team. / have seen leaders in my old four.horse
team attempt to run away when my only source
of salvation was the wheel horses, which set back
in the breeding and held the wagon to the road.
1T is not always, or often, pleasant to be a wheel
horse, either drawing the heavy load along the
road, or in Congress, for the galleries-sometime
the press gallery, too-pay more attention to the
leaders, especially when they show their mettle ard
start TO run away. They are dramatic and the
horses guarding the wheels are not. The wheel
horses get kicked and abused for not keeping the
wagon in the road and sometimes from getting
enough momentum to run over the leaders, as we'll
as the wheel horses themselves.
81 should like TO see more of these STEADY wheel
horses in Congress and fewer brilliant and mag.
netic leaders, who too often are inspired to start
something that will be Immediately popular but
in the end embarrassing and sometimes dangerous.
1 have seen leaders work passion TO ~tatters, forget.
ting the breeding, pushing into the collar, until
there was n real smash of the whole program.
This is n time for heavy breeching, not too
many bells and plumes of eloquence and not too
many new trails. We have difficulties enough
ahead without trying TO blaze new legislative and
government roads for increased expenditures.
Better keep the treasury truck ON the bestknown
taxation. That's the only way I know to get out
Of the woods now, as in the past"

The Changes Wrought

COMPARING the status of the American indus
y trial world in 1928 with conditions that existed
at the time the present national administration
came into control of public affairs, the improve
ment to be noted is marvellous. In March of 1921
the industries of the country we're in the depths of
dependency. 1t was estimated at the time that
there were four million men out of employment.
Many authorities placed the number higher. One
labor source even made it five million. Farmers
were selling their crops at far less than the cost
OF production, where they were able to sell at all,
and many of them were facing bankruptcy. This
was particularly true of the cotton growers of the
south, of the grain growers of the middle west, and
of the cattle growers of the mountain and south.
western states. Producers of wool were unable
TO find a market at any price; copper mines were
closed down; lumber mills were inactive; textile
mile were operating on part time; the country
had just gone through a period of deflation start
ed under the leadership of men who were in control
of the federal reserve system.
Under such conditions as those the present ad,
mlnlstration came into power and was expected to
restore order out of chaos and start the country
on a return to normal.
There was no h~esitancy on the part of those res
ponsible in applying measures believed to promise
beneficial results. One of the first acts was to
restore TO activity the War Finance corporation
which the Wilson administration had permitted
to die. This immensely helpful institution began
at once to function along constructive vet conser.
Yatiye lines. Money was loaned to finance the
export of such American commodities as found in.
adequate market at home. Funds were loaned
where most, needed to finance the sale of Amer.
lean cotton, American tobacco, American wheat.
American wool, American copper, and American
live stock. As expressed in the law and In the pro-
visions of the loans made, this money was adj.
Tanced to assist in the orderly marketing" of these
products.
This was not all the administration undertook
to do to restore stable financial conditions. The
FUNDS available for the farm loan board were in.
creased and loans made to needy farmers at reason.
able rates of interest. The new members of the
federal reserve board responded with a more lib.
eral policy in the matter of credits. There was
an early reduction in the rediscount rates, fol.
lowed by reduction in interest rates charged in
the commercial world.
Almost coincident with these measures Con
gress enacted an emergency tariff act, which gave
farmers some measure of protection against des.
%tructiTe competition from abroad. These taken with
other measures taken by the administration aided
IN restoring confidence in the basic American in.
dustry, agriculture.
Not one of these measures alone could have nc.
complished the desired results Immediately, but in
the two years that have passed since assuming
control of government policies a wonderful change
has been wrought.

Regular Record Breaker

ANALYSTS with their eYer-sharp pencils have
d been jotting down things about the kixty-seventh
congress. They have found it a record breaker in
many different directions and SO far as first
time in history is concerned no previous congress
has been its equal. Among other things In connec-
tion with the Sixtyseventh that never occurred
before may be mentioned;
Five sessions of the United States senate and
four sessions of both house and senate. No other
congress ever had more than three sessions. The
first session was a special one converting April IL,
1921, and adjourning November %, 1921. In less
than a month, on December 8. 1921, the first regu-
Jar session convened and remained in session until
September %, 1922. Immediately after the cleo
tious in November, another special session was
called which convened November 20, 1922, and re
NAMED in session until noon, December 4th, at
which time il lapsed and at the same time the
second regular session constitutionally opened
This regular session constitutionally expired on
March 4. In addition the senate held a brief spe-
cial session called by President Harding on March
A. 1921, which was in session until March IS.
At this special session Of the senate a new rec
ord was established by the presidents appearing
personally before the senate in executive session
at which time the names of the cabinet we're pre-
scented for confirmation.
During the first regular session occurred the
longest single legislative day in the history of Con
gress, II being in connection with the consideration
Of the tariff bill in the senate and lasted from
april 20, 1920, to August ., without a formal
adjournment.
Another record was broken in that for the first
time In IN history Of the American congress a
woman-Ars. w. H. FELTON,, of Georgia-was seat.
ed as q member Of the United States senate.
rms congress broke all records in the considera-
ton and ratification by the senate Of foreign
treaties which brought 10 a formal close a state

Crop Prospects Good

MOORCROFT-Viewed from the
standpoint Of present conditions tho
crop prospects for the coming sea-
son are all to the good. The frost Is
practically all out Of the ground and
the moisture from the recent SHOWS,
added t o that which was stored up
in the ground late last fall, has GER
tainly placed tho soil in condition TO
give crops and pastures a wonderful
start when spring opens.
There is an abundance Of seed
grains OF al kinds in the country
and there appears no valid reason
why the acreage PLANTED to CROPS In
this vicinity this year should not BIO
tho largest in the history Of this
country. Grains planted in roper sea.

along toward maturity on the present
