Shaw, former of the ‘treasury, former gov- ernor of Iowa, an eminent banker and authority upon financial and economic has reviewed the work of the just adjourned. e given at length and are secretary affairs, Sixty-sixth Congress His views a worthy the perusal, He says: “Somebody asks me what I think of the work of the present Congtess? In the aggregate I think ft is great. Of course, no one ever gets all he wants, and always he gets some things that he does not desire. Only dictators Is. sue @dicts expressing the thought and purpose of a single mind. Congres: sional action is always a compromise. “The last session of the last Demo* tie Congress passed five of the thir- teen regular appropriation bills, and left eight for the special session of this Some of/ these *‘left-overs’”’ had not been so much as reportd from their respective committees which ‘had for two years. The session of this Congress begay 19th and lin she weeks it had bath orted and “passed ,these eight neg- lected supply bills with A saving from the estimate of the expired Demofratit Congress of oVer '$1,500,000000. “®s “This Congress At said extra’ ses! receiyed two and one-half times many reports from new committees, it disposed »of twice as many of ‘these -re- ports and passed more bills than the er Congress. istence been jin e extra M as preceeding Democratic Congress .at~ its elementary «truth that wood, old-fash-}plishing results. final session. “But cofmparisons aré odious. Every? understands the © inefficiency of ic Congresses and, Democratic All the public care to do one Democ administrations, know is whether Republicans can better. ‘The question is limited to this Congress. “AN the thirteen and the regular appropriation bills, number, have passed the last one Wilk be passed by the Senate before it adjourns. The various departments. boards and commissions under executive con: trol asked $5,200.000,000.. Many items, $1,000,000.000 interest on the pub- debt in House bureaus, like lic allowed could not be cut. and $275,000,000 (I am speak ing in round numbers all through this statement) were set aside to reduco the Over $200,000,000 were set like damages public debt. uside “for contingencies, to railroads ‘and claims for stolen mer- chandise which multiplied under na- tional control. Independent of pen sions to soldiers and their dependents g{ utive dpartments asked over $1,000,000,- § | resentative of the ordnance department, This was The sundry civil bil, which carries ap- propriations for very Many govern- mental functions, saved to the people more than one-half billion from what was asked. The Vatious‘bureaus, boards, commissions and agents of the exec: | 000 and less than $500,000,000 was pass ed. These savings were not at the ex:! pense of our soldiers’ and sailors of the world war. Over $112,000,000 were ask. ed in the fortification bill and less than $18,000,000 were allowed. ‘The savings in these two bills, the sundry civil and the fortification, were, in round num: bers, $700,000,000. The House Committee on Fortifica- tions did more; it turned back into the treasury over $800,000,000 of unexpend- ed appropriations, thus preventing further waste. Then, to the surprise of everyone, the director of war finance, jthe chief of coast artillery and a rep- in the thanked name of the war department, the Republican chairman for giving them such a good bill. They got $100,000,000 less than they “asked and Ipst $800,000,000 from previous ap- propriations. The war department is composed of nothing but excellent and patriotic citizens, All they needed was to have someone do for them what the law contemplates they shall do for them selves. A great many people seem 4o_think that Congress is omnipotent. They for- get that Congress is only one of three co-ordinate branches of our government, ne one of which—not even the exec utive—was intended to be omnipotent. Gongress can neither prohibit the laws of nature nor reverse the laws of eco- nomics. The impression seemé to pre- vail, and finds nebulous expression on the street, and sometimes in the press, | that Congress can repeal the “law of supply and demand” And enact an en- forcible statute against the ‘high cost of living, The entire world is short of food} clothes, fuel and labor, but many proceed on the theory that if prices are advanced &ufficienttly there will be enough for all, Then no one being sat- isfled with these advanced prices. which everyone has helped to boost, sume take the other and equaliy foolish position that if Congress will exceed its consti- tutional authority afd fix the price of, labor high enough, and the price of products low enough, and limit the hours (of ‘work to thirty-six) from forty-eight hours per, week, everyone will be on ‘easy! street. “Truthfully has it been sald. ‘history! teaches that mat.

When the people of the United States again produce to the maximum: of their ability—and they'll come to it in time—they will have more clothes thant they can wear, more food than they can consume, more fuel than they can burn and the cost of living will be within the easy reach of every man and woman of average health and strength.” FARM PROBLEMS.
