ECONOMY CLAIM IS FALSE.
Ei'onomy claims advanced by
Republican leaders in the Mouse,
where Representative Mondell and
others assert that the majority party
has through a policy of retrenchment
saved the taxpayers a billion and a
half dollars, are based on false
premises and their figures are arrived
at by tricky methods.
The appearance of retrenchment is
offered by claiming that cutting ap
propriations under departmental
estimates is a saving, which Demo
crats declare is an utterly transparent
and fraudulent device. Automatic
reductions in expenditures by reason
of the termination of the war are al
so claimed to be a Republican saving,
but the trickiest method resorted to
bv these party leaders is to reduce
appropriations for the ensuing fiscal
year below amounts actually neces
sarv in order that the various Fed
praal bureaus may function, then
make up in deficiency bills after the
election, as well as the practice of
concealing large sums of money by
merely authorizing departments to
expend unexpended balances as well
as amounts that accrue to various
departments from their operations,
without requiring them to be paid
into the Federal treasury and then
appropriated in the regular way.
By this process, hundreds of millions
of dollars authorized to be expended
by Congress do not appear in the
appropriations at all.
By such manipulation of figures
do Representative Mondell and his
colleagues attempt to make a show
of
economv,
With insurgency rampant in both
houses, the party leaders don't know
which way to turn. In the Senate,
progressive Republicans are in revolt
because of the •'steering com
mittee's" refusal to give place on its
calendar to the bill for control of the
packing-house industry and other
progressive legislation, while over in
the House "Uncle Joe" Cannon,
former Floor Leader INlann and other
of the "Old Guard" are in revolt
agafiinst the Ways and .Means Com
mittee's soldier cash bonus proposal.
Driving the elephant two ways
at the same time is a job not even
the G. O. P. ringmasters can do.
The party leaders have maneuvered
themselves into a predicament.
Judge H. K. Evans this week told
a representative of this paper of a
farmer down in their section who
sold lils farm and invested $40,000
in a Hacking house enterprise, but
lie managed to get out of the pay
ment of most of it. This party
made the investment because a
prominent banker accompanied the
salesman to call on him. A man
who will hook up with this kind of
an outfit ought to be shot on the
spot. This farmer said he was not
acquainted with stock buying and
would not have invested had not this
supposed friend been al~ng. This
stock selling and membership solicit
ing bv designing parties is getting
close to an end—in this section.—
Corning Free-Press.
Secretary Colby having advised
the House Republicans that he knows
of no reason relating to the country's
foreign relations why they should not
take "any action which is dictated
bv good judgment" in respect to the
Irish resolution, on which lengthy
hearings were held and loud ex
pressions of love for Ireland were
voiced, there seems to be no reason
whv they should not'go ahead and
prove their good faith, else confess
that they were merely angling for the
Irish vote.
From a high republican authority.
The Washington Post, the following
confession of the complete failure of
tlip present republican congress is
taken: "If adjournment is taken
June, the republican party will have
to go into the presidential campaign
confronted bv the necessity of dodg
ing or apologizing for the sorriest
record ever made by any congress in
recent years."
The way the gop delegates at Chi
cago enthused over the Star Spang
Chicago enthused over he Star Spang
led Banner would lead an outsider
to unwittingly think that all of tie
patriotism of the country rested in
the bosoms of those gops—who
showed their "patriotism" by as
sassinating the peace covenant and
League of Nations. Oh consisteney!
If required Senator Lodge who
talked one way in 1916 and the other
in 1920—and—now—one hour and
eighteen minutes to deliver that
."scratching denunciation" of Pres
ident Wilson at the Chicago slaugh

he had really said nothing.

Congress.
IX SORRY PLIGHT.
Bent upon having Congress take a
summer vacation, despite the large
number of vexing poblems that are
still unsolved, Republicaan leaders
in Congress are fighting one an
other, and on the eve of their nat
ional convention find themselves in
an unenviable predicament.
With one candidate for the pres
idency in prison for ten years and
one republican member of the senate
under sentence to the penitentiary, it
begins to look as if politics is making
an effort to put a premium on crime.
It may not be out of order to in
quire if republican leaders in con-
gress calculate that pruning.appopria-1
tions to stimulate agriculture, there-'
by curtailing production, will tend
to reduce the cost of living?
Since his sentence is not yet opera
tive, and he is still a "distinguished
member of the senate," it is as
summed that Senator Newberry will
be "among those present" at Chicago.
Those Chicago hotel men took
what little the gop delegates had
left after paying their railroad fare.
The extortion practiced was simply
past comprehension.

THIS IS WORTH READING
The experience of Mr. E. J. Tou
palik, 1438 Rose street, LaCrosse,
Wisconsin, is chiefly remarkable
on account of the length of time
he was afflicted.
He writes: "I have been suf
fering with chronic bronchitis for
twenty-six years and etery winter
I would catch colfi and become so
hoarse I could not speak for. six or
eight weeks. I could get only tem
porary relief.
"This winter I was taken with
Grip and was in awful shape. A
fellow workman advised me to take
PE-RU-NA. By the time I had
used three-fourths of a bottle, the
hoarseness was gone, also that
tired feeling. I am on my second
bottle. Hereafter PE-RU-NA will
be constantly in my home. It is
the best medicine ever put up for
the purpose."
