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.

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.

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,

Beekeeping Is Developing
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis, July 25. Beekeeping as an
occupation is rapidly developing in
Oregon. 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. The department
of entomology at the Oregon Agri
cultural college has received requests
