URGE HARDING TO
RUSH LEGISLATION
ON THE TARIFF BILL

Washington, Nov. 30-President
Harding has been urged to take a
strong stand in his address to the
new congress next week in behalf of
pending tariff legislation. Confidence
was evidenced among many congress
sional leaders today that the power
of the executive would be put behind
the bill which now reposes with the
senate finance committee.
The suggestion was said to have
been made to Mr.. Harding that he
recommend, in the interest of speedy
disposition of the measure, the elimi-
nation of the American valuation
plan from the house bill and the writ
ing of a traiff law on the basis OF
was understood to have been urged to
ask congress then to include in the
bill a provision empowering the exc
cutive to apply the American valua-
ton basis of assessing duties where,
after surveys, it is shown that added
protection is needed.
Another suggestion reported to
have given Mr. Harding was that the
house bill provisions regarding anti
dumping be stricken out and a law
described as Having teeth" be enact
cd supplementary to the tariff.
A division of opinion among the
Republican senators was said to exist
as to the merits and practicablity Of
the American valuation plan and it
was understood this situation had
been outlined to the executive.
Some Republican members Of the
finance committee declared today that
even with a call by the President for
more speed. there could hardly be a
tariff law before March. One asserted
it would be the middle of May before
the bill finally becomes a law.
The late date for final action on
the measure was based on the set of
circumstances surrounding the
building of rates on the American
valuation basis. It was stated that

Sales Tax Rider on
Soldier Bonus Bill

Washington, Nov. 3O-Representa-
tive Dickinson. Republican, Iowa, is
sued a warning tonight that the
House agricultural bloc which he
leads, was prepared to kill any plan
for adoption of sales tax as a
means of raising revenue to pay the
soldiers bonus. The bloc, Mr.. Dick
inson said, would place nothing in
the way of the bonus measure itself
but would content itself with defeat
ing efforts to raise the money by
the sales tax. The Iowa member de-
clared that sufficient votes were on
hand to eliminate the tax If it was
attached to the bonus bill.
I'VE shall not interfere with the
bringing out of bonus BILL" he con-
