Why Not Give Congress A Chance to Deliver Representative Mondell has repli- j ed vigorously to the New York finan j cier who has attacked Congress on 'the ground that it has failed to re- i duce the expenditures or lighten the I burden of taxation, as "the Repub ; lican party promised." Mr. Mondell I was asked to state whether the fail ure of Congress to fulfill these pledges is due to "natural ineptitude or the spirit of obstruction." The attempted implication was that Con gress is attempting to avoid meeting the expectations of the people, whom it represents and to whom it is ac countable, in this matter of govern mental economy and tax reduction. The federal .taxes payable before March. 1922, have been levied and must be paid. There is no possibility of relief by legislation from tax bur dens before the last federal tax levy made under the Wilson administra tion has been collected. The de mand that Congress reduce the taxes payable in 1921 exhibits a deplor able lack of knowledge as to the power of the legislative body sworn in on March 4th, and called into ex tra session less than three months ago. The criticism that Congress has failed to reduce expenditures reveals a further lack of comprehension of the possibilities and the facts that is surprising. Congress has reduced expenditures many hundreds of mil lions of dollars below "the estimates and demands submitted by the mon ey spending branch of government, the executive department. Con gress cannot of course by legisla tion reduce the interest obligations of the nation on account of the vast bond issues of the previous admin istration, and it surely is not serious ly proposed that these securities shall be repudiated. Congress can not avoid shouldering the losses in cident to governmental operation of railways and shipping. It cannot es cape the burden of expenditures nec essary to keep the nation in a proper state of military and naval prepared ness, made obligatory on a large scale by the failure of the former ad I ministration to get us out of war or (secure any guarantees against future ; involvement in war at the Paris ! peace conference. There are those lacking in know j ledge of legislative processes who I assume that a system of taxation can be revised between breakfast and lunch by a Congress honestly anx jious to effect a revision. The truth is, ot course, that tax revision in volves the clash of hundreds of in terests. The task of reconciling dif ferences, and adjusting and read justing burdens is not as easy as changing a ten dollar bill at a teller's window. There is only one point of agreement on taxation and that is that the other fellow should carry the load. Beyond that is confusion of counsel. In undertaking to bear and consider all elements involved Con gress is performing, not neglecting its duty. Congress has a huge job on its hands. It did not make the difficul ties with which it is contending. It is trying to meet problems which were more easily created than solv ed. Nothing is to be gained by in considerate criticism or unthinking abuse of the national legislature, struggling with its gigantic tasks while a good many of its critics are on vacation. There has been entirely too much government by threat and bullragging in this country during the past few years. Wise men are willing to give Congress a chance to do its duty, with due regard to the practical difficulties involved in clear ing away the wreckage of eight years of destructive administration. It may be added that those who are so prematurely assisting in the work of trying to make it appear that the work of the present administration is a failure are throwing fuel on the flames of radicalism, menacing to all personal and property rights, now preparing, with gathering force, to offer formidable challenge to the fundamentals of American government. MILWAUKEE CHILD OF THREE DRIVES MOTORCYCLE NO, BOLSHEVISM HASN'T DOME ITS WORST. NOT ALL, THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE ARE DEAD YET SMILE AWHILE Bobby Scherer, of Milwaukee, three years old, makes the claim of being the youngest motorcycle rider in the world. In a recent l,50O-mil tour with his mother, he drove the machine a majority of the time, while his mother directed the operation from the side car. He displays rare judg ment in driving for one so young, it is said. Walter Was Irritated. It is, perhaps, unnecessary to give the name of the New England city which is the residence of the lad who figures in this story. There had been a visitor, and to this lad she said: "And so this is little Walter? My, my! What a ..ig boy you've grown to be! I wouldn't have believed it possible." "Mother," said Walter when the visitor had gone, "doesn't is pass your comprehension how persons in whom one would naturally expect an ordinary degree of intelligence ap pear to believe, all history and nature to the contrary, that the children of their acquaintance will always re main infants and persist in express ing surprise when they observe the perfectly natural increase in one's stature?" Washington Star. i Preparedness. A certain clergyman always felt it his duty to give each couple a little serious advice before he performed the marriage ceremony. He usually took them aside one at a time and talked very soberly to each regard ing the great importance of the step they were about to take and the new responsibilities they were to assume. One day he talked in his most earn est manner for several minutes to a young woman who had come to be married. I hope you fully realize the extreme importance of the step you are taking and that you are pre pared for it." "Prepared!" replied the bride in nocently. "Well, if I ain't prepared, I don't know who is. I've got four common quilts and two nice ones and four brand new feather-beds, ten sheets and twelve pairs of pillow slips, four linen tablecloths, a dozen spoons and a new six-quart kettle, and lots of other things. Houston Post. i Danger. Sandy and Donald were paying their hrst visit to the metropolis and found the ways of the big hotel not their ways.

Large commercial apiaries are increasing in size in the irrigat ed sections of eastern Oregon, in the fire-weed sections of southern Ore gon, and in the alsike clover section of the Willamette valley. Many beekeepers have incomes of from $1500 to $4000 while some have an income from their apiaries which is more than $10,000. The present production of honey in Ore gon is nearly 1 ,000,000 pounds. Bee pasture is being constantly increased, due to the larger areas coming under irrigation. Demand for men trained in Dee keeping is urgent.
