A FOREIGN
AUDIENCE GATHER
At FRONT PORCH
Harding Talks of Ameri-
canizatiOn But Does Not
Blame "Sympathies"
During the War

Marion, Ohio, Sept. lS.-Warning
against the dangers of hyphenated
citizenship, Senator Harding told
gathering of foreign-born Americans
here today. that he believed the Unit
ed States should avoid 'meddling" in
the affairs of other nations il all
classes of American citizens are to be
united in loyalty to the government.
The Republican nominee declared
he did not blame the foreign born
for conflicting sympathies during the
world war, and asserted that the
fault belonged to the nation itself.
The task of thoroughly Amercanizing
those of foreign extraction, he said,
had been neglected and must now
be taken up with new determination.
Let us all pray that America shall
never become divided into classes and
shall never feel the menace of hyphe-
mated citizenship" said Senator Hard
ing.
For Americans who love America,
I sound warning. 1t is not beyond
possibility that the day might come
and may God forbid it-when an
organized hyphenated vote in Ameri-
can politics might have the balance
of voting power to elect our govern
ment. If this were true, America
would be delivered out Of the hands
Of her citizenship and her control
might be transferred to a foreign
capital abroad.
with an interest in common
good, I urge now and shall, with IN
creasing conviction, always urge that
America shall give to her citizens the
benefits of social justice and the
conservation Of human resources which
a humane democracy owes to citi-
zenship. Our standards Of living are
the highest. | insist that American
conscience recognizes the duty of pro-
tecting our national health. l insist
that it will protect American mother-
hood, and the American home.
"Above all, we must give our at
tention as nation, to American
childhood because American childhood
is the future citizenship Of America.
We must insist upon an American
conscience acting at once in order
{ TO raise our health standards, espe-
cially as they bear upon the welfare
| of American childhood. There can
be no defense for working conditions
which rob the American child Of Its
| rights"

LEGISLATU RE WILL
Be CALLEOTO SETTLE
OFFICIAL $ SQUABDLE
AUDITOR CARTER'S REMOVAL
MAY BE ASKED BY Gov
ERNOR AT THE HANDS
OF LEGISLATORS

Oklahoma City, Sept 1S.-The next
state legislature will make a subject
for inquiry the action of Frank
c. Carter, state auditor, in refusing
to certify to county assessors the two
mill levy voted by majority of men,
bers Of the board of equalization, ac-
cording to announcement here today
by Governor ]. b. a. Robertson.
What action the governor would ask
the legislature to take was not indicat-
ed. Opinion expressed among some
state officials was that the legisla-
ture might be asked to remove Mr..
Carter from office for failure to per-
form his duty as auditor. in certify
ing the action of the state board OF
equalization TO the assessors. Other
state executives expressed themselves
as of the belief such procedure would
not be undergone, but that the mat
ter would adjust itself in examina-
ton. Attorneys declared that the de-
lay will curtail collection OF taxes in
the state. since the legislature does
not meet until the first OF the year.
The state auditor today sent to all
county assessors notes instructing
them to spread on the tax rolls n
levy of one-half mill for state pur-
poses, as demanded by the state con-
stitution. OF the half mill levy, one
quarter Is to be used by roads and
one-quarter for schools. The assessors
were instru"ted not to add the levy
Of one and one-half mills for general
state purposes.
Mr.. Carter said that he omitted tho
levy to force court action and settle
the status OF the state taxes to avoid
firation by large corporations In at
tacking the levy in court. According
to the majority report of the board
OF equalization instructions TO omit
the one and one-half mill general
levy is contrary to the boards ruling,
Governor Robertson stated that ne
did not expect to seek mandamus
to the supreme court to force the
auditors hand "The matter is for
the state legislature TO handle" he
said
