ating the reforms which would ac-
complish the relief the public was
demanding. The reduction OF taxes
the curtailment Of the public debt,
the elimination of surplus employees
and the shrinkage of Federal activ-
tiles could not be accomplished with
cut a drastic reduction Of expendi-
lures, and that could only be had by
a decrease in appropriations.
Upon assembling in extra session
in May, 1919, the new Republican
Congress was confronted with the
duty of passing before the COM
mencement of the fiscal year on July
L, 1919, eight of the largest Of the
supply bills which the Democratic
Congress had failed to enact into
law before 1t went of power.
Those bills at the time OF their fail
ure were all pending in the Senate.
The amounts carried in them at the
time of their failure aggregated 49,
1858 200, 900. The total of the same
eight bills after their repassage was
$2,S2S, 100000. The first legisla-
tive action of the new Congress re-
suited in the passage of these bills
before the fiscal year began and in
the decrease of the appropriations
proposed by the Democratic Congress
for the fiscal year 1920 by $94O,-
000 5000. The estimates for the fiscal
years ending June 80, 1921 and 1922
respectively. and deficiency estimat-
es for prior year, were prepared by
the Wilson Administration and sub
mitted to the Republican Congress.
The reductions made by the Congress
in these estimates aggregate slightly
more than $3.50, 900, 900. The total

congress effected in the amounts pro-

HOW REPUBLICANS CUT
DOWN APPROPRIATIONS

WASHINGTON. JULY s. I'm
answerable proof of the economies
established by a Republican Con-
gress in the farce of extravaganza de-
mands of a Democratic administra-
lion, is presented in an address by
Congressman Madden of Illinois,
chairman of the House Committee on
Appropriations.
The Republican party came into
power in the Congress on March a,
1919, as a result of the elections of
the fall of 1918. The new Congress
was summoned into extra session by
President Wilson on May 10, 1919.
President Harding took office on
March A, 1921, as a result of the cleo
lions of the fall of 1920. The fnan-
cial record made by the Republican
Congress during the two years from
1919 to 1921, while the A~dministra-
ton was Democratic, and by the Re
publican administration in full con-
troll of the executive and legislative
branches of the government since
1921 is not surpassed in any period
of the history of the country.
Upon assembling in extra session
in 1919, the Republican Congress
was confronted with innumerable
and difficult fiscal problems. The
country had just emerged from a
devastating war, Government expen-
ditures were on a scale which no ma
ton could long endure, administra-
tive officials were striving to hold
at swollen strength many of the n
activities Of the Government,
the number Of Federal employees
not diminishing with the rapid
ity that cessation Of war activities
would permit. The e Congress

Biology, according to a study of
science in California reported in the
University High School Journal, has
made rapid development in that
State within the past few years. In
1908 biology appeared in only two
high schools. In 1929 it was
given in 59.5 per cent OF the schools

than any other science except physics
and chemistry, appears in 96.4 per
