Andrews Leave for
Texas Points
Our good friend J F Andrew
and family who have been mak-
ing their home near Wardville
for the past several years left
last week for Plainview and
other Texas points with a view
of locating in that state in the
hopes of the change proving
beneficial to Mrs Andrew’s
health Mr Andrew has made
good in this section of the coun-
try and proposes to keep in
touch with' the happenings here
through The Courier He as-
signs as his only reason for leav-

and sufficient reason Then too
they have children in the Lone
Star state and-desire to visit
with them for awhile We re-
gret very much to lose this good
family from our midst but their
going will be Texas’ gain and
The Courier wishes them well in

The Genesis of
the Deflation Policy
Washington Oct 7— (Special cor-
respondence) — Kenewed interest in the
question of responsibility for initiation
of the deflation movement has - been
created by a bulletin issued by the
Democratic National Committee at-
tempting to place that responsibility
upon the Republican Administration
In view of that effort a few well’ au-
thenticated facts are both timely and
pertinent
The Republican Administration did
not come into power until March 4
1921 Up to that time the Federal
Reserve Board was in the control of
appointees of President Wilson The
Secretary of the Treasury and the
Comptroller of Currency both Demo-
crats and appointees of President Wil-
son were ex-offlcio members of the
Board The Governor of the Board
was W P G Harding an Alabama
Democrat The actions of the Board
were therefore wholly within control
of the Democratic Administration
On May 18 1920 the Board held a
closed meeting at which proposed rais-
ing of discount rates was discussed as
a means of forcing deflation At the
close of the meeting Governor W P
G Harding said:
"1 would suggest gentlemen that
you be careful not to give out anything
about ahy discussion of discount rates
That is one thing there ought not to be
any previous discussion about because
it disturbs everybody and if people
think rates are going to be advanced
there will be an immediate rush to get
into the banks before the rates are put
up and the policy of the Reserve Board
la that that is one thing we never dis-
cuss with a newspaper manl think
we are all agreed it would be very ill-
advised to give out any impression that
any general overhauling of rates was
discussed at this conference”
That much of Governor Harding’s
speech shows that what the Board
was doing it did not want known to
the public On July 30 1920 the
Comptroller of Currency admitted that
the deflation movement - bad been
started for he issued a formal state-
ment to the press in which he used this
expression:
“Although the application of the
brakes seems to have had a jarring
effect upon some nervous systems and
has occasioned unfounded fears of a
money panic and commercial crisis
there are in our country abundant
reasons for confidence and encourage-
ment as to the future”
The words “application of brakes”
was another term for deflation Those
words were used by a Democratic
Comptroller of Currency during a Dem-
ocratic Administration
That the Board had been pursuing its
deflation movement for some time is
evident from a statement made by
Senator Owen of Oklahoma a Demo-
crat on August 19 1920 in which he
said:
"Eight months ago having heard the
Federal Reserve Board contemplated
raising the rate of interest on the re-
serve banks I entered a protest against
it My appeal was in vain The
policy was adopted by the Board of
ratsing the rates and advising banks of
the country to deflate credits Under
this policy the confidence of the coun
try has been shaken and a period of
depression has taken place:”
All this is a matter of record from
Democratic sources accumulated before
the Republican Administration came
into power in 1921

of Coal Creek Association and
want you to make me a price on

at work on my manuscript There
was about the usual number of

the amount of printing will be
about as usual and you know
about what that is as you have
printed them for me for years
“We have had one of the most
successful years in all our de-
nominational work’s history We
have twelve local associations in
this state We have local mis-
sionaries state missionaries

foreign missionaries We are
supporting fifty missionaries in

ening of human burdens In the gen-
eral welfare of alL
True Mrs Hert Is a good Repub-
lican but her messages breathe first
of all the soul of a humanitarian
coupled with the conviction that of
all the agencies at hand tho Republi-
can party is the most effective cine
through which what women want-
social progress the greatest good of
the greatest number — can be
achieved
Her political creed is summed up
In the belief that the purpose of gov-
ernment Is to "establish justice in-
sure domestic tranquility provide for
the common defense promote the gen-
eral welfare and secure the blessings
of liberty to ourselves and our pos-
terity” It is hard to quarrel with such a
creed unless one wants to find fault

Republican Retrenchment
r Record
Washington Oct 7— (Special cor-
respondence) —As an illustration of
“getting down to brass tacks” there is
nothing more impressive than the math-
ematical demonstration of Republican
economy as set forth by Congressman
M B Madden Chairman of the House
Committee on Appropriations If the
American people want public money
saved as most of them do they can
find plenty of encouragement In that
direction in the past record of the pre-
sent regime In his statement Mr
Madden goes back to 1919 when the
Republicans took control of Congress
and began to cut the Democratic de-
mands for appropriations He says:
“The financial record made by the
Republican Congress during the two
years from 1919 to 1921 while the ad-
ministration was Democratic and by
the Republican Administration in full
control of the executive and legislative
branches of the Government since 1921
is not surpassed in any 1 period of the
history of the country
"Upon assembling in extra session
in May 1919 the new Republican Con-
gress was confronted with the duty of
passing before the commencement of
the fiscal year on July 1 1919 eight of-
the largest of the supply bills which
the Democratic Congress had failed to
enact into law before it went out of
power Those bills at the time of
their failure were all pending in the
Senate The amounts carried in them
at the time of their failure aggregated
$3768000000 The total of the same
eight bills after their repassage was
$2828000000 The first legislative
action of the new Congress resulted in
the passage of these Bills before the
fiscal year began and in the decrease
of the appropriations proposed by the
Democratic Congress for the fiscal
year 1920 by $940000000 The esti-
mates for the fiscal years ending June
30 1921 and 1922 respectively and de-
ficiency estimates for prior years were
prepared by the Wilson Administration
and submitted to the Republican Con-
gress The reductions made by the
Congress in these estimates aggregate
slightly more than $2950000000
“The total reductions which the Re-
publican Congress effected in the
amounts proposed to it by the Demo-
cratic Administration for the fiscal
years 1920 1921 and 1922 reach
$3890000000” 1
Mr Madden then Bhows that follow-
ing these drastic cuts made by the Re-
publican Congress in the demands of
the Democratic Administration the
Republican Administration continued
to reduce total appropriations which
reductions made possible two revenue
bills reducing taxation Along with
this reduction of taxes there was also a
reduction of the national debt to the
extent of more than $5000000000 Ot
this record Mr Madden further says:
“The Republican Party has kept
faith in its promises for retrenchment
in Government expenditures and finan-
cial reform Its record is complete
and unanswerable From the assem-
bly of the Congress in May 1919 to
the present date every effort has been
made to manage the affairs of the
Nation according to efficient econo-
mical and sound business principles
The results speak for themselves
Appropriations have been reduced ex-
penditures have correspondingly de
creased taxes have been reduced the
budget has been balanced each year
anil has shown a comfortable margin on
the surplus side the number of era
ployees has been cut and the country
has been given a budget system
There is ample cause for approval of
these accomplishments The past few
years have been critical in the affairs
of the nations of the world The pre-
sent factorable situation of the United
States is due in no small measure to the
sound financial policy which has govern-
ed the management of its affairs While
other nations are struggling with over-
whelming public debts that in some
cases are as great or greater than
their national wealth and are
crying for relief from the taxes caused
by deficits in their budgets the people
of the United States are enjoying the
economic benefits which arise from
sound financing on the part of the
Federal Government
