fairly be termed sectional
class legislation.
The bloc is not a factional or
partisan group. There is no
purpose to form a new party or
a new faction of one of the old
parties, or to cause any schism
or regrouping of parties. There
are Republicans and Democrats
both in this so-called bloc.
The agricultural bloc really
designates a movement occasion-
ed by the profound conviction
held by tc number of members
of both houses of Congress that
without agricultural prosperity
there can be no general pros-
Agricul
to be set up to meet the farmer's
needs. His only desire is to do
business in a fair market and
under conditions of equality
with his city neighbor. He is
asking for no consideration from
the government that has not al-
ready been given to other indus-
try. and he must receive this
consideration if he is to pros-
per and play his full part in the
restoration of prosperity to all
industiy and the whole country.
The agricultural bloc is commit-
ted to such a program, and is
pressing it in the belief that in
this direction lies the road to re-
established prosperity and bet-
ter conditions in trade and in-
dustry.

SOME CONGRESSIONAL
ITEMS.
The tariff bill is still not pass
ed. The tariff problem has been
under consideration since the
■Pecial session of Congress con-
vened, April 11,1921. That call-
ed session gave us the emer-
gency tariff law. It took the

A House bitf by Represents
tive Shattuck proposes to pro
vide Insurance against unem
ployment. The Boston Tran-
script, discussing the bill, points
out "the unfavorable experience
of Great Britain with a similar
proposition." It has had an evil
efflct upon the workers them-
selves as is seen in the willing-
ness of about sixty-five per cent
of them to live on the dole hand-
ed out by the government. The
govahunent, on the other hand
has been carried to the verge of
bankruptcy. Furthermore, it
continues. "In so far as unem-
ployment insurance offers to the
worker a relief from the duty
of thrift and Industry to provide
on his own account against the
rainy day, it is an attack upon
Industry itself. It must surely

The bloc is not a soviet move-

think, and as they undoubtedly
hope it to become. Such an idea
is ludicrous to one who knows
the men who are in the move-
ment There is not a man
among them who can honestly
be termed a radical.
The bloc is not a champion of
class legislation. It has spon-
sored no bills that are exclu-
sively for the benefit of a parti-
cular class or a particular sec-
tion. It has discovered instances
where legislation has ignored or
discriminated against a parti-
cular class, and has
