How con gress is working out the greatest re construction problem in the history of the United States is told by Chair man Simeon D. Fess, of the National Republican Congressional Commit tee, in a statement issued today. He says : Tariff legislation absorbs the time of the session that enacts it. From the day of the passage of the Under wood bill it was known that it would have to be repealed. Before the year that saw its passage was ended, gen eral stagnation and paralysis of en terprise was upon us. The European War alone saved the sponsors from defeat, by operating as the most ef fective protection possible. When the Republicans were re turned to power, the Committee on Ways and Means at once, even be fore Harding was inaugurated, began to hold hearings upon the question. As soon as these were completed the emergency tariff act was brought before the House and in due time passed the Senate. It was defeated by a Presidential veto from Wilson. After the inauguration of Harding this measure was reintroduced. It was broadened somewhat so as to protect our industries by aid of an anti-dumping clause. It passed the House April 15 and the Senate May 1 1th in amended form. It was agreed to in conference and approved by President Harding May 27th. In the meantime, the committee worked upon the permanent tariff bill, having submitted separate sched ules to subcommittees. After weeks of the most continuous and arduous labor the full committee has com-1 pleted the final draft. The measure; will require the most of July for its consideration in the House when it will go to the Senate and be referred to the Finance Committee, which will open hearings upon it. While this committee is conducting these hear ings the Ways and Means Committee will take up the other pressing questions. The chief and all-important ques tion for Congress is the revision of the tax system. The Senate Finance Committee conducted hearings on this question during the month of May. The House will open hearings soon after the tariff bill gets through the House. It is expected these hear ings will be completed through the House by the time the Senate com pletes its hearings on the tariff ques tions. The success of any taxation system depends upon the business condition of the country. Where business is stagnant tax receipts fall off. The amount of tax therefore must depend largely upon the amount of business transacted. Tariff legislation is designed to promote the business condition of the country. It looks to the protection policy that enables the fullest invest ment of American capital in the best employment of American labor, upon a scale of wage to insure and main tain an American standard of living. At the same time it provides revenue for the expenses of the government. The amount of revenue from this source under the present law was $337,000,000 this year. Under the proposed law it should reach at least $500,000,000. Logically it was decided that tariff legislation should come first. ( 1 ) It would offer a basis for tax. (2) It always interrupts business, the sooner it is enacted the soonci business will settle. (3) Tariff relief can begin at once, tax relief will take effect next year. This character of legislation is more difficult than in any period of the past. The condition of F.uropc complicates the problem. Foreign exchange, due largely o an almost hopeless money inflation where gold as a basis has been abandoned for mere paper, makes tariff legislation upon a scientific basis almost im possible. How to frame the law to protect our own industries from coun tries, like Germany, paying one-sixth what we pay for labor, and still not interfere with those countries in their struggle to get on their feet is new in tariff legislation. The draft of a bill containing near ly one thousand paragraphs, and sev eral thousand items, nearly a thous and of them never considered "in any previous tariff measure since they were developed here while the war embargo was on, and many of these items involving acute differences, cannot be made without time to ma ture the draft. While the Ways and Means Committee has been busy ev ery day on this draft, the Congress has been losing no time m its work of reconstruction. Already it has en acted a most salutary immigration act which became law May 19th; emerg ency tariff act which became law .ciency appropriation act, the milit- jary appropriation act and the naval appaipriation act. The latter two , bills also took a decisive step in econ omy by reducing the Army to 150, tXKJ, a tremendous reduction from ; Secretary Baker's recommendation I for an Army of 576,000. The naval bill also wrote into law the request that the country lead in the work of disarmament by seeking an agree ment with the leading naval powers of the earth. The critical situation in Europe on the delay of definite determination of the German indemnity where France was threatening to enforce the treaty by a military invasion, Germany counseled discreet action to convince Germany that this country expected the vanquished to pay her obligations. This was not only to be inferred by our international conduct, but also our specific instructions to Europe. Peace declarations were some what delayed, due to some differen ces between the two houses of Con gress upon the precise form it should take, but have now been passed. The system of federal aid to road building is enlarged, and a mainten ance provision has been added. Remedial legislation for the disab led in the war has been enacted, such as improved facilities for hospitaliza tion and rehabilitation of invalided soldiers. The Sweet bill to reorgan ize and concentrate the agencies of soldier relief has passed the House. Remedial legislation on behalf of agriculture has been advanced through one branch of Congress. (1) Commission to investigate and report on agricutural conditions. (2) The Farmers' Cooperative As sociation rights now in conference. (3) The regulation of the gambl ing transactions in grain. (4) The Packer bill now in con ference. (5) The authority of the Farm Loan Bank to extend longer credit for agriculture. Remedial legislation for industrial rehabiitation: (1) Transportation, Winslow bill. (2) Telephone consolidation. (3) Mobilizing the business talent of the country to assist in the solu tion in the work of industrial recon struction. (4) Various conferences held in Washington representing various an gles of this problem. The aggressive work of the Con gressional Joint Commission created for the purpose of reorganization of the government departments here in Washington is an example of the manner in which the administration is dealing with the problems of re construction on the basis of economic and efficient government service. Readjustment is always difficult, but never so much so as today when we are correcting the evils of the worst spree of government disintegration in history. Tillamook Milk Yield High Tillamook County Cow Testing as sociation reports 1117 cows tested during June, with an average yield of 1031 pounds of milk and 44 pounds of butterfat, according to re ports just received. This is the highest average yield of anv asso ciation in the state for the month, according to E. B. Fitts of 0. A. C. in charge of the work.

I knowed him fer nearly fifty year an' so fur as I ever heard, nobody lent him a helpin' hand, or give him a pleasant word. . . . I've often thought that Bill might feel, as 1 watched him ftom day to day, that he was a sort of a surplus here, an' mightily in the way. . . . An' I half surmised, from his weary look, an' the sadness about his face, that it wouldn't matter ef he was took, and sent to some other place. But we buried old Bill the other day, an' you ort to have saw the crowd! They brought him flowers an honied words, an' some of us cried, out loud. . . . It's funny we never learnt it before, an' I'm won derin' about it still, that none of us knowed to his dyin' day, how much we loved old Bill ! cow was "Jewel," a grade Guernsey, owned by P. G. Sharks, which produ ced 1599 pounds of milk and 97.5 pounds of butterfat. The highest average production for an entire herd was 1302 pounds of milk and 61.41 pounds of butter- tat, made by a grade Jersey herd, owned by Clyde Kinneman. The individual cow and herd averages are also the highest made in any Ore- gon association for the month. There are 48 members in the asso ciation, 47 of whom have registered dairy sires at the head of their herds. Five inferior cows were weeded out of the herds during the month, 7 registered cows and heifers were purchased, and one registered bull.

Bryan's father once missed several large hams that had been hanging in his barn loft. He sus pected that the thief did not live many miles away, but he made no di rect charge against anyone; in fact, he refrained from mentioning his loss to a single soul. A few davs later his neighbor called. "Say, judge," said the man. "I heard you nad some hams stole the other night." "Yes," replied the Judge very con fidentially, "but don t tell anyone. You and 1 are the only ones who know about it." Walertown Times. A Pleasant Rule. In a large park in one of the east ern cities there are seats about the bandstand with this notice Dosted on them: "The scats in the vicinity of the bandstand are for the use of ladies. Gentlemen should make use of them only after the former are seated." American Legion Weekly. Flighty. Pat had been heatedly debating polatics with Mike. Pat stenned out- side the boiler room to deposit his quia, suddenly there was a terrific explosion and Mike disappeared through the roof. "Poor Mike!" ruminated Pat, sticking his head back into the room. "He alwuz flies up into the air every time I argy wi' him." American Le- Igion Weekly. Satisfactory. "How about that fifty you owe me?" "By Jove, you know I haven't the money or a check with me. I'll make a note of it, though." "All right. Make it for thirty days at eight per cent." American Le gion Weekly. Impertinent. "There was an amusing ending of a civil case tried in a Wyoming court. It was an appeal case and on one side was a testv lawver and on the other a number of inexperienced at torneys. The arguments on both sides had been heard and the case closed for judgment. Suddenly one of the inexperienced lawyers eot un and addressed the court once more. The testy lawyer stood it for a moment, but losing pa tience, he also rose and addressed the court in this wise: "Your honor, I would beg with all respect to point out to the court that my learned friend opposite is entire ly out or order in addressine the court, and if I may be permitted to say so, the court has no right to be listening to him." The court, who at that time was writing, put his head out in a bellig erent way and said: "Mr. Smith, it is a great piece of impertinence on your part, to assume that the court is listening to him.
