Small is the only recourse.
Grant is a son of q poor

DEMOCRATS AS
OBSTRUCTIONISTS

The Republican National Com.
mittee, through its publicity bu-
reau, in a recent statement,
blames the congestion of legis-
lation in Congress on the radi-
cal democratic control" The
statement says in part
This Congress has been in
session four months. 1t has not
passed any major legislation.
1t has passed but one appropria-
ton bill. 1t has not enacted any
laws to relieve the agricultural
situation. 1t has not enacted a
tax.reduction law With the ex.
ception of a few private bills, it
has done nothing in the way OF
legislation. 1t has not even pro-
posed or advanced any construct
i've program. On the other hand,
it has blocked the program out
lined by President Coolidge in
his message to Congress in De
cember.
1t has sought to create polit.
ical sensations rather than enact
laws. 1t has usurped the powers
of the courts and grand juries
and made a moekery of them
rather than perform its functions
of a legislative body.
THE blame for all this does
not rest with republicans. They
are not in control of either
branch of the Congress. Test
votes in both the House and the
Senate clearly show that the
radical democratic combination
is in control of both branches of
Congress. The fact that this
mbination is in control of both
branches of Congress proves that
it could put over a legislative
program had it the desire to do
so.
This should be of special sig
nificance to the agricultural sec
tions of the country, where the
need for relief of some kind is
very urgent. Democratic and
radical members of Congress
elected in 1922 made their cam
paign upon the ground that they
wanted to go to Congress to help
the farmer. Those who were
loudest in their promises to this
effect have been the least con
cerned to redeem them. They
have not made any effort to car
ry out their pledges.
THE things done and the
things left undone by this Con
gress must be charged directly
and solely to the radical-demo-
cratic combination, which was
effected early in the session in
both houses over the protest and
the opposition of republican
leadership and membership.
THE whole situation should
forcibly remind the country of
the necessity for Legislative
body which has a dependable
and reliable republican majority
which will cooperate with the
republican administration in car
rying out consistent program
Of legislation which is dictated
by common sense, honest mo-
tives and the fundamentals of
political economy"
