In many communities the banks
have declined to loan men money
with which to pay their taxes. The
banks charge ten per cent for their
money in most of the smaller towns.
The state only charges ten per cent
on delinquent taxes for the first year,
so the banks take the position that it
is better to let the matter Of tax pay

Why HOOVER
APPEARS ON
HARD[NC'S LIST
By Mark Sullivan

St. Augustine, Fla, Feb. 23.-Con-
sidering the type of man he is in his
wish for harmony and his dislike for
being disagreeable, Mr.. Harding's
fight to put Herbert Hoover in his
cabinet has been rather gallant, and
if after all his persistence, he should
lose during these last few days, one
would feel rather sorry for him.
| suspect he will not lose, for he
holds one extremely strong card. of
course, even after Mr.. Harding pre-
posing Mr.. Hoover. 1t may yet turn
out that Mr.. Hoover will decline the
only post available for him, that OF
secretary of commerce.
Mr.. Hoovcr's declination would be
something beyond MIR. HardinGs con-
troll. II Mr.. Hoover should decline.
the facts OF the offer and declination
in justice to Mr.. Harding, ought 10 be
made public. After the long fight Mr.
Harding has made TO get himself in
position where he could defy the op-
posing senator's and make the offer to
Mr.. Hoover it would be a pity II he
should not get the credit of 1t from
those who want Hoover in.
Harding Has Wanted Hoover
Mr. Harding has wanted Hoover
from the beginning. But when the
early Hoover trial balloons were grcnt
up there was more opposition to Mr..
Hoover than to any other name.
suspect that by the first of January
Mr. Harding had almost given up the
idea OF appointing Mr.. Hoover. The
opposition from powerful Republican
senators and others was extremely
formidable. But just then fate placed
l..t. IL
About January / IL occurred to Sem
ator Knox that there was an old friend
and business associate OF his in Pitts
burg who would make a good sccre-
tary OF the treasury. Mr.. Knox went
TO Marion and told Mr.. Harding of his
happy Inspiration. That was the whole
and exact beginning OF the Mellon
boom for tho treasury post. Mr.. Hard
Ing let the Mellon trial balloon go up.
and very soon the two Pennsylvania
senators were in "A position where not
only were their hearts sct on putting
Mellon over but to quite degree their
public prestige was involved in 1t.
Chance to Trade
don't know Just how soon 1t dawn
ed on Mr.. Harding that he had SEN
ators Pcnrosc and Knox in a position
where he could do n little trading, but
any one with the faintcst familiarity
with politics' can see that is how the
cards lie today. The air is trcmulous
with it. Mr.. Harding can trade Mr..
Mellon FOR Mr.. Hoover.
n pcurosc and Knox withdrew their
opposition to Mr.. Hoover and under
take TO persuade the other irrcconcil-
ubIc senators to withdraw their oppo-
sItion. then Mr. Harding will appoint
thclr fellow Pcnrsylvauian, Andrew
Mellon. to the treasury department.
