Work of Congress
Explained By Fess
Tariff and Tax Legislation Are
But Part of Great Task Un
dertaken by Republicans
Washington, July 18. 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have to be repealed.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.

POST MORTEM THOUGHTS
The other day, old Bill Hicks died,
as anybody might do. They say
our loss was old Bill's gain, from the
troubles that he went through. . . .
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.

Confession.
W. J. 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.

"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. I'huadelphia
