Senator Walsh of Montana, rather
a prominent democrattc senator in
stirring recent scandals in Washing

'Whatever we do,’1 lie says. ' we
must reduce taxes to a minimum The
people who pay are entitled to tills,
and in the last analysis, we who were

congress must do our duly by them
and lighten their financial burdens."
Senator Walsh is u great states-
man and a great humorist as well.
Imagine a senator speaking unctu-
ously lor tax reduction and then vot-
ing to pass the Bursum bill, carrying
idditionai pensl it graft of | .ii.ium.ilim

The Montana senator also voted for
the repussage over the president's
veto of Hie bonus hill, carrying an

Tlie McNary-Haugin 'lull, which
appropriates 3200,090,tmo in ndditioti
