! He Says in Radio Address.

Charging that the Republicans have
hot cut taxes as low as the condition
of the Urea Sury warranted and deny
ting the Republican claim Of economy
Senator Claude A. Swanson of Vir-
ginia. chairman of the Democratic
Speakers Bureau. appealed for the
election of n Democratic Congress in
q radio address from station WRC
last night
'AS soon as the war ceased and the
United States resumed normal peace
conditions there could have been an
immediate tax reduction equal to
what the Republican party has slow
1y and most Grudgingly given to the
country in the last four years" said
Senator Swanson. This was strong
iy advocated by President Wilson and
other prominent Democrats in 1919
under Democratic administration,
but was refused by a Republican Con-
gress entirely for political purposes.
Charges Abuse of Power.
The Republican party has grossly
abused its power and misused the con-
fdence given it by the people by
using the slogan of tax reduction for
political purposes and not practically
applying tax reduction for industrial
and business relief.
THE three tax reductions the coun-
FRY has received have been doled out
and most Of it could have been given
80 an overtaXed country as soon as
Nhe expenses arising out Of the war
had been liquidated and normal peace
conditions resumed in this country.
Net the Republican party has divided
khis reduction into three parts, each
dust prior to an election, in order to
Receive tho voters and make them
believe that II was the party of tax
keduction."
In attacking the Republican pro
Eram Of economy Senator Swanson
asserted that the President has rec
commended to Congress 1851 ,000, 900
9nore than Congress in the last five
Sears has appropriated. He declared
4hat If there has been any economy
1T has been brought about by Con-
Eress through "the united efforts OF
the Democrats despite the recon-
hnendations and efforts Of the admin
6stration.'
Higher Expenses Alleged.
It was further asserted by Senator
Swanson that in departments of the
Government unaffected by the World
War there has been an increased eX-
penditure of money under Republican
administration over the Democratic
administration.
Senator Swanson also touched upon
expenditures in the Republican pri-
maries in Illinois and Pennsylvania.
In conclusion he predicted Demo
cratic success in the elections Iues-
