Misunderstanding of hard
work, anyone interested in the sub
ject should have looked in this last
week on Farmer Bob" Doughton,
Chairman of the powerful Ways
and Means Committee of the House.
Reputedqy, the hardest working
Congressman in Washington, Mr..
Doughton, who has represented the
ninth Congressional District for 70
years, has just completed one Of
the busiest and most productive
weeks in his career
His activities for the week in
cluded:
Completion of the 1884 Revenue
Bill, following six months, exhaus-
tive study and investigation by the
Ways and Means Committee of
which he is chairman. Two of the
outstanding provisions of the bill
are: First, repeal of the bank
check tax. Second, lowering the
rates of second class mail matter,
whereby newspapers, magazines and
distributors of advertising matter
will benefit by the return of the
rates prior to 1882. Both of these
provisions were sponsored by Mr..
Doughton; in fact, they were his
f'hobbies". The new revenue
measure, by plugging loopholes and
leaks in the lax system of the coun-
try, will increase the revenue of the
Government approximately $780,
900, 600 without the imposition of
any new taxes.

President and the Congress. Cong
ress wanted to keep the CWA go
ing and the President wanted to
taper off" this Government-sup-
ported employment of millions of
men and women in what and vague

The word that comes to Senators
and Members from the folks back
home is that while business men
generally don't think much of
CWA and many farmers are COM
planning that they can't hire help
at reasonable wages because they
(the farmers) want men to do real
work and not merely look at a
shovel for 80 cents an hour, the
voters are for it.
But while Congressman do not
want to vote against anything
which might cost them votes next
election, they are still less eager to
take an attitude which would GER
tainly cost them their seats. And
they are convinced, practically
every man., Back of them, Repub-
licans and Democrats alike, that to
oppose the Presidents policies in
any respect would do just that.

Republican party workers, to be a
sort of rallying-cry which would
bring an instantaneous response
from the four orner of the Ma
ton, and crystalize Republican
sentiment into something like eff

effect.
The very men who were relied
