SENATOR HARDING
OPENS CAMPAIGN

Marion, Ohio, July 81. Ii the open
ing speech of his front porch campaigu
Senator Harding told a delegation
from Richland County, Ohio, today
that the greatest usefulness of the ma
tion demanded levelling of class and
sectional bearers and relization of
the "Interdependence and mutuality
interest of all people"
The great war he said, had helped
toward such a realization. Closer
cooperation in industry and COM
plete assimilation of the FOREIGN
born he suggested as pointing the
way to fuller national accord.
Urging also readjustment of tax
alton, he expressed boubt whether
the war time excess profit levy was
in harmony with peace requirements,
but added he had not yet worked out
details Of a revised tax system.
eve ought to make wealth bear its
full share Of taxation" he said, nd we
we ever will. Having this thought in
mind and also thinking of the ex-
cessive cost of living, l doubt if the
excess profits tax for war percisely
accomplshes the end we seek in peace
I would gladly recommend change
but I am not yet prepared to suggest
an equitable substitute, though ]
should have no hesitancy in asking
Congress to seek the earliest possible
solution.
The league of nations he did not
refer to directly, but he declared the
nations Highest duty is to cling tc
the fundamentals on which we builded
to world astonishment and hold fast
to the natioality which inspired ou,
onward march.
"It is with keen sense of delight
that WELCOME your visit today" sale
Senator Harding.
81 am please that you come not
only as republicans, but as neighbors
and friends. We need to cultivate
friendliness and neighborliness
sometimes think in this busy, work 9
day world, we are neglecting those lit
tie acts of neighborliness that make
life sweet and worth while. 1t il
well enough for one to strive to gel
ahead in a material sense for through
that ambition human progress il
wrought. To acquire and accumulate
honesty is most laudable, but we
should not forget that life's greatest
joys lie in the social concourse Of
friends and neighbors. Out of such
relations grow mutual respect, mu.
tual sympathy and mutual interest

joyment.
"The especial thought in my mind
today is the interdependence and the
mutuality Of interest of all our people
"The tendency to class consciousness
is the product of developing fortunes
and is both a reflex of achievement
and menace to maintained progress.
We must caution against class dis
tinction nd class conflict at every step.
Here in the middle west, where far
ing is free from tenantry and holds
to the normal way, and manufactur-
ing is mainly confined to the plants of
that moderate size which indexes the
SURPRISING fabrics Of American in
dustry, we have the touch Of intimacy
and that closer understanding which
emphasize the thought I have in mind.
We cannot promote agriculture alone,
because the factory is necessary to
the making Of market. We can
not foster the factory and ignore ag-
riculture because the farms are the
base of our food supply.
II can reall readily forty cent wheat
fiayed from the fields of Richland and
Morrow. That was before industry
developed the home consumer, that
was before railways an improved high
ways opened the way to markets.
I'M
That was when farming was a fight
for subsistence, instead of the present
day pursuit of attainment. That was
before luxury became the by-product
OF farm and factory. That was be-
fore the age af agricultural machin-
cry, that was when we Graded the
wheat and toiled from sunrise to sun
set, that was before wealth had TAX
en- from the earth to alter the way of
our civilization.
IL trust no one misquote me as
saying I believe in forty cent wheat,
because I have indulged my memory,
Sometimes we are very unfair in hand
ling the utterances Of public men. I
l remember, when the Senate was
discussing the wartime guarantee on
wheat when we felt we ought to give
the American farmer that assurance
which would encourage a seeding to
guard against war famine, western
Senator was arguing that wheat could
not be raised for less than $3.50 per
bushel. / interrupted him to say that
I well recalled that Ohio farmers, in
pre-war days had rejoiced to get a
dollar for their wheat. / was speak

how according to the standards of yes
terday. Every normal being is look
ing forward. We collect more fedora
taxes in one year than the entire
wealth of the republic century ago
Only little while ago our grievances
about taxes were wholly local, be-
cause a half century of republican
control Of the Federal government
held us free from direct burdens
But the changed policy, the Demo
cratic drift to freedom of trade which
is international rather national, anc
mounting cost of government anc
finally war burdens, turned Federal
taxation to colossal burden.
~ would gladly recommend a change
but ! am not yet prepared to suggest
an equitable substitute, though
should have no hesitancy in asking
Congress to seek the earliest possible
solution. The reduced cost of govern.
ment Is already pledged, and reduced
appropriation by Congress is already
recorded. We must not paralyize
home or destructive competition from
abroad, because our mutual interest
in productivity has made us what we
are.
despite all the depreciation, can
not bring myself to accept the notion
that the inter-relation among our men
and women has departed.
eve are democratic people. There
is a disposition of some to inveigh
against one section or another, as
selfish interest may suggest, but the
broad national welfare contemplates
no east and no west, no north and no

mendable, but patriotism is not sec-
tional politically we may divide as
God gives us to see the right, but ma

PLAN HOTELS AT COLLEGES.
Institutions Would Aid Students and
Supply Needed Accommodations.

Each Of the large universities and
colleges may have its own model hotel
il tho plan brought forward by John
Willy Of Chicago, l.. NJ Boomer, and
others in the hotel field is carried TO com
pletion. Mr.. Willy, the publisher of The
Hotel Monthly in Chicago, was at the
Waldorf-Astoria in New York recently,
and told Of the plan fer operating hotels
at the different educational institutions.
According to the outline the students,
would be part of the organization and,
according TO the present practice, would
have this means Of helping to earn their
college expenses.
"a model hotel in or near the campus
would be invaluable in schooling the
students in many channels of useful
employment. said MIR. Willy. In such
hotel the student who has TO earn n
living while attending school might find
opportunity TO perform certain duties
and to ret working knowledge. of
many things likely TO bc useful 10 him
or her in after life
"A model hotel on the university
campus would not only train young men
and women for an occupation Of "scrv-
ice without servility. hut would supply
the home comforts TO visitors, professors
and students that are lacking in most
centres have letters from

others strongly indorsing the plan and

"ANiERICA FIRST"
Says J. W. Powell Of Bethlehem Ship
building Co.. Speaking Of Jones Act.

Vice President ]. w. Powell, of the
Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation,
Ltd, the largest shipblilding concern in
the world, whose Delaware interests
are represented by the Harlan plant, IN
n statement issued today, said: America
First" is the spirit of the Jones Merchant
Marine Act and tho carrying out oi its
provisions will reflect this admirable
sentiment. Congress did not intend to
undermine our commercial relations with
other countries, but it did intend to do
everything necessary to encourage and
develop merchant marine. Congress
wisely deemed that in order for America
to start ut scratch with foreign commercial
interests existing treaties cilccting foreign
mercantile relations must be modified.
1t provided machinery for this operation
in Section 81 which instructs the Presi-
dent to serve notice of modification Of
commercial treaties that prohibit the
imposing of discriminatory duties and
tonnage taxes by the United States. This
provision was inserted to encourage and
develop u. S. Merchant Marine. For
years foreign shipping has been enoourag-
cd i'm countless ways. Something had to
be done to remedy condition where the
United States. was footing yearly bill
of $500, 0,0D0,0 ZOO for the use of foreign
bottoms III the transacting of its sea COM
merce. Why not keep this huge amount,
or at least a portion of it, on this side OF
the water where it would benefit Ameri-
can labor and capital?'

In the justice of the United States of
America" he declared. "And we, my
countrymen, are greater today by rea-
son of tho example which we can set
10 the world than we could ever hope To
be by force of arms. no matter how large
our army and navy may be"
