Th termath ol the tremendou: struggle of the World War was full upo us. Credit was on the wane: our bonds were far below par, industry was at a standstill or running at a loss, taxcs| were high and almost intolerable and the work of the Government was being | oxtravagantly administered. Our party. under. the able leadership of President Coolldge, has brought about thz correc- ! tion of the: conditions. Credit has | been restored, our bonds are above par | and industry is prospering. The budgot system was installed to control governmental expenditures and to reduce public expenses. It has re sulted in substantial elimination of ex travagance and waste in administration. There is one way in which the of Government can end should b2 re duced still further. It is by doing awa with every useless and board. burean and commission. T are many such, the existence of which greatly enlarges the Federal pay roll. Some of tham overlap each other and cause duplication of work-which. if nec- essary at all, could be handled by pra- sly existing departments.

This fault <hould be checked at once and eradicated entirely as soon 2s possible. In spite of this situation, which the budget system cannot reach, the Gov- srnment has by the adoption of that system materially reduced its expenses, living weM within its income and set- ting a praiseworthy example of sound financing not only to our people. but to | those of the worid in general. This is shown by the fact that the Treasury surplus for the fiscal vear ended June 30 Jast wes $398.000,000. § 0,000 Cut. At the close of the war the public debt had rrached a total figure quite beyond the comprehension of the av age man. It was approximately 500,000.000. The terest charges there- | on alone were stupendous. The policy |of quick and subsiantial curiailment of the public debt was adopted and put into immediate effect. If for no other | reason than to cut down the almost in- credible annual interest charges, the | propriety of this action cannot b> de- | nied seriously. The report of the Treas- ury Department for the year ended June 30, 1928, now shows the public debt to be $17,604,000.000. a reduction of { .000.

In proposing this course, Mr. Hoover is following the precedent established by President Hardine. However. Vice President Dawes declined a similar invitation from President Coolidge. Senator Curtis <aif in_reply: “I wish fo thank you for your telegram inviting me to attend your cahinet meetings if the Re- publican ticket is clected in No- vember. “It hos been my belief always that closer co-eneration in the admin‘stration can be seeured by having the Vice President keep in active tonch with the execu- tiv~ oroblems. ‘It gives me pleasure i accept your conrtrous invitation.” SENATORS PRAISE CURTIS ADDRESS, 'Smoct and Jones Describe!

He called attention to the fact that the last Congresc has provided for a bargs lin: to extend from St Louis | to Missouri River points, which, ne | said. would bring much rclief to fhe farmers in the matter of transporta- tion charges. Senator Curiis made a proposal for thz establishment of a joint congres- sional committee to study the farm problem and find its solution. By such a procedure, he said, th: problem could { be dealt with effectivaly and quickly. He compared the situation now in re- gard to the farm problem to the situa- tica which aross over the standard of | yaiue in this couniry back in the late | 90s.
