Y While it may be provoked into
Isome sort of foolishness in the clos
ling hours, we should not lose sight
lpf the fact that the seth Congress
ALREADY has to its credit record Of
work accomplished that is unusual,
to say the least.
The tax eductio n alone Is
IN achievement and has demon
strated beyond question the wis
dom of Secretary Mellon, In en-
couraging the investment Of money
in productive enterprise subject to
tax instead of in tax exempt secur-
tiles, which too often represent en-
terprise that is less productive. To
sChairman Green of the Ways and
Means, who called his committee to-
lgether two months before Congress
convened, may be credited the BUSH
ness-like manner in which the meas
ure was handled in the House. while
to Senators Smoot and Madden may
be attributed good generalship for
the way in which 1t was handled in
the Senate.
Congress turned to the World
Court and disposed of 1t in a way to
merit approval Of the country. All
things considered 1t made remark
sbls Roadway with the adjustment
of the foreign war loans. The ex-
pected Roadway has not been made
with France, but that is not the fault
of the Congress.
The wisdom of the so-called rail-
road peace bill' desired by the
roads and their employees remains to
be demonstrated. There is room for
doubt whether the public has been
adequately protected, alth gu h
recognized authorities assure us that
it has been properly cared for.
While Colonel Mitchell ranted
around making a big noise Congress
went quietly to work on the aviation
problem and there seems to be
mute general conclusion that the re-
cults are creditable. An appro-
>priation of one hundred and fifty
millions has been provided for over
a flve-year period and 1t is said
this will place this country well up
front in the worlds aviation prog
ress.
A practical effort has been made
to construct public buildings where
and as they are needed, an appro-
priation of $165,000,000 over five
year period was made, the bill be-
ing framed in accordance with the
suggestions of Secretary Mellon.
There have been matters to dis
tract congressional attention from
the work in hand, such as the pro-
posed impeachment Of Federal Judge
George w. English, the unseating of
Brookhart and the hearings on pro-
hibition. The uproar over proposed
wet and dry legislation also has
featured with the 69th Congress and
is In fair way to do SO with SUI
ceeding congresses.
All the while President Coolidge
has been cooperating with Con-
gress, not assuming to drive or
coerce, but evidently very much on
the job. Congress some time ago
recognized his backbone. a fact that
doubtless had something to do with
the Haugen bill. An effort is now
being made to bring down on his
head all the blame for the bills
failure and he does not deny but ne
would have vetoed the measure had
1t come to him. He Is now asking
Congress in the closing hours of q
heated term to pass a practical
measure of relief for the farmer.
This is almost too much to expect
but 1t appears Congress has decided
it best to give the matter at least
respectful consideration.
