World Court of Justice Harding
 Plan for Peace
[Republlcan A. p. Leased Wlre1

MARION, Ohio, Dec. 19.-The idea of a world court of justice, free from political bias and embodying as few as possible of the aspects of a political ton of Presfdent-elect Harding as his consultations on a world-peace plan continue
 Continually during his conferences in the last 10 days the possibilities of a peace league founded on Judicial lines have been urged upon MT. Harding and today was advised to make a judicial body the basis of his plan for an asso- citation of nations.
 The proposal coincides, at least in part. with Mir. Hardings campaign suggestion that the nations put teeth into the Hague's tribunal. He has not indicated, however, how much of a po- litical structure he might be inclined to add in the perfection of his plans. The president elects only extended conference on the league today was with Senator James Wadsworth of New York, a reservation republican in the Versailles treaty fight, who advised that any peace league to be fostered by the coming administration be builded about an international court rather than a mutual political guarantee like that of article 10. MT. Wadsworth said he was confident that details could be worked out and a qualification on inter national law accomplished which would be acceptable to most of the nations os the world.
 The New York senator declared tha diplomatic negotiations toward such ar organization might be consummateC and the entire peace muddle cleared up within three or four months afte President Harding takes office. Hi suggested that an international confer ence on the subject in Washington might well follow the preliminary ne gotiations.
 As chairman of the senate militar, committee Senator Wadsworth als cussed various questions of army pol icy with Mr. Harding. including tn 12.OOO appointments and promotion submitted to the present senate o President Wilson for confirmation. H said afterwar that no conclusion were reached at the conference and in dicated that the presidents nomlna tions would be permitted to take tn usual course of such recommendation in senate procedure.
 Besides Senator Wadsworth. Presi dent-elect Hardings guests today in cluded two of his most trusted adV1s ers on administration policies, Senate Harry S New of Indiana and Harr M Daugherty of Columbus. It is un derstood that cabinet selections wer talked over.
 MT Harding also conferred with |. Stone of Boston, representing th Associated Industries. and with a dele cation of Iris.h- American leaders, 1T cluding P. H. ODonnell of Chicag John P. Leahy of St. Louis, and J. O'Mahoney of Indianapolis. The came to express opposition to member ship in the Versailles league and tender support to MT. Harding's pla for an association of nations so Tar he has publicly outlined It. DurH the coming week several more men national prominence. including form President Taft, will talk with M Harding about world-peace plans.

SUGGESTS HIGHWAY
 BUILDING AS CHECK
 ID UNEMPLOYMENT

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Dec. 1s.-'1f unemployment assumes widespread proportions, the most logical answer to the situation would be the prompt utilizing of this excess labor in the building of highways possessing an interstate significance" comments David Jameson, president of the American Automobile association, which has been prominently identified with roads betterment since it's forma- ton at Chicago in March, 1902.
 Tt will be remembered that when congress was approached some two years ago for $200,000,000 additional under the provisions of the federal aid road act" continues MT. Jameson, it was set forth that this money, which called for an equal amount from the several states. would serve to carry on roads building and absorb the sur plus labor which it was anticipated would result from the abrupt conclu- sion of the big struggle. Besides this total of S400, 100000 from the national treasury and the several states. the sum of $9,000000 was added to the Sl0,000.00O previously appropriated for the construction of roads in federal forest reserves.
 But the period of non- employment did not arrive, besides which there was difficulty in obtaining materials and their shipment and the abnormal prices cut down very substantially new road mileage. Present indications however, are that the supply of labor in the near future may considerably exceed the demand, and hence a re- course to important public improve. ments would be direct means of sta. bilizing labor conditions. Surely ther, can be no greater benefit conferred upon the entire country than by tn, building of highways which win ma terially reduce the cost of transpor tation and facilitate the exchange O. farm and manufactured products be tween the country districts and tn centers of population.
 Congress could not act more wise ly than to pass at this short session the Townsend bill calling for the ere ation of a federal commission to la, out great system of interstate high ways and arrange with the severa states for the prosecution of this na uonal undertaking at the very earlies moment The building of roads is on thing which will unquestionably i'm prove conditions, and we are all nov well aware of the fact that publi sentiment is overwhelmingly in favo of maximum activities in this regard from nation, state and county"

U. s. Chamber of
 Commerce Votes
 On Tax Revision
[RepubIlcan A. p. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s-A proposed program of federal tax revision, sug- gesting radical changes in present methods of levy, was put to a referen- dunn vote today by the United States chamber of commerce. The proposals were prepared by the ! chambers committee on taxation, which has made nearly a years study of the subject The chambers board of directors made it clear that the board itself neither approved nor dis scented from the report.
 The proposition upon which the chambers members were asked to ex- press their views were:
 The excess profits tax hould be re- pealed.
 Revenues now derived from the ex- | cess profits tax should be obtained from taxes on incomes.
 There should, also be excise taxes Il upon some articles of wide use but not
 of first necessity.
 Should a sales tax be levied instead
 of the taxes mentioned in the second
 and third proposals? Should a sales tax be levied in ad-
 dition to such taxes as. are mentioned in the second and third proposals? Members voting in favor of proposal
 four or proposal five are asked to in-
 dicate the type of salas tax, they ad- vocate; whether general turnover tax, a limited turnover tax, or retail sales tax.
 There should be a moderate and 7 graduated undistributed earnings tax s on corporations. Each individual stockholder or cor poration should pay his own normal . tax.
 |, Incomes from any new issues of se- {; curities which may lawfully be made |, subject to federal tax should be tax . able.
 . American citizens resident abroad = should be exempt from the American . tax upon incomes derived abroad anC = not remitted to the United States. 7, Profits arising from sale of capita S assets should be allocated over the v period in which earned and taxed a s the rates for the several years in pc 5. riod

 cede payment.
