newspaper notoriety as an artist of no
mean ability. He has just completed
a picture entitled "Polo," that is uni

Mr.. Perkins conceived the idea of us

the Presidents appeal may be the
final thing needed to have action
on the tariff deferred in the Upper
Chamber until the tax law is out
of the way. There has been a
growing sentiment in favor of this.
The tariff bill will reach the Senate
July 81, and the Lower Chamber
Immediately will turn it's attention

The President, in urging accom-
plishment of the major tasks" for

gave support to the project for a
recess, which the Senate previously
had voted down. This would be for
the purpose of enabling closer ap-
plication TO the fiscal legislation.
Hope to Win Farmers.
The recess proposal. it is learned,
will be revived when the tariff bill
is received from the House and sent
to the Finance Committee.
1t is hoped that the insurgent
agrarian bloc can be won over to
support the recess plan by assur-
ances that some of the pending
measures for relief of the farming
industry will be considered at once.
Leaders are now at work on this.

Senate Attacks Bill
Banning Medicine Beer

The Campbell-Willis bill banning
beer as medicine was the target for
another spirited bombardment in the
Senate yesterday.
The attacking forces included
Senator Lodge. Republican leader;
Senator Knox. former Attorney Cen
eral: Senator Wadsworth. of New
York, and Senator Williams, of
Mississippi.
They denounced the bill as un-
constitutional on the ground that the
Eighteenth amendment gave Con-
gress no power to prohibit the manu-
facture and sale of alcoholic liquors
except for-beverage purposes. They
contended- that Congress has no au-
thority whatever to extend prohibi-
ton to alcohol not used as beverage.

Fext Of President Harding's Address
To the Senate Disappearing Bouns Bill

IDENTIFY to our tasks, and definite
assurances as to taxation and ex-
penditure will contribute to that
helpful mental order The only
sure way to normalcy is over the
paths nature has marked through
out all human experience.
With the approval of Congress
the executive branch OF government
has been driving toward that de-
creased expenditure which is the
most practical assurance Of dimin-
ished taxation. With enthusiast
resolution your administrative
agents are making not only con-
scientious effort to reduce the call
for appropriations, but to reduce
the cost of government far below,
the appropriations you have already
provided. 1t Is easy to believe that
the only way to diminish the bur-
dens which the people must pay is
to cut the outlay in which public,
moneys are expended. War is not
wholly responsible for staggering
costs; IT has merely accentuated
tho rena"r-which lies in mounting
cost OF government and excesses in
eSpennit re whi' h n surccssful Dri-
vate business would not tolerate. =
/ can make you no definite prom
Use In figures today. but I can
pledge you a most conscientious
drive to reduce government cost by
many millions. j. would be most
discouraging to those who are
bending their energies to save mil
lions to. have Congress add billions
to our burdens at the very begin
ming.
World Owes Us Heavily.
Even were there not the threat
ened paralysis of our Treasury. with
its fatal refexes on all our activi-
ties which concern our prosperity.
would it not be better to await the
settlement of our foreign loans?

stowal on the part of our govern
ment when it is able to bestow.
