In the last year of a Democratic Congress seven billions of dollars were appropriated. following such a riot of waste in Federal control of railroads and shipping as this country had never before seen. In the last month of President Wilsons term of office. in March. 1921. 5.000.000 of wage earners were out of work. A Republican Congress. by the enactment of a restrictive immigration law. prevented an inundation of competing labor. by the passage of a protective tariff restored the home market to American producers. and by the adoption of a Budget system encouraged wise economies. Today our appropriations total $3.000.000.000. There is a job at hand for everybody.
