SENATE TOTALk
TAX REVISION
BEFORE TARIFF
Plan of Action Is
Formed at White
House Dinner.

Washington, July 81. - Virtual
agreement was said today to have
been reached at a dinner conference
at the White house last night for
senate consideration of tax revis-
ion legislation before the perman-
ent tariff act is taken up by that
body. There was a number of SEN
ate leaders who were President
Harding's guests and the legisla-
tive situation was said to have been
discussed extensively.
White house officials had nothing
to say about the conference today
and it was understood that Mr.
Harding himself had forbidden ad-
vance announcement of his plan to
consult his former associates in the
senate. They were said to have ad-
vised him that the finance commit
tee would not have the house tariff
bill ready for consideration before
five or six weeks and it was on this
showing that consensus of opin-
ion around the dinner table that tax
revision should be given precedence,
was said to have been disclosed
The president was told, it was
said, that the tariff bill would re-
quire working over to a hitherto
unexpected extent. American valu-
alton provisions in the bill were
discussed and there were reports
today that the president did
not favor the policy, but COM
ment on that phase was refused.
Railroad Question.
The railroad question and fund
ing of allied loans also were talked
over during the dinner as well as
summer recess possibilities for
congress.
President Harding told his guests
he hoped both branches of congress
could recess from middle August to
the latter part of September, or the
first of October, but was represent
ed as opposed to any recess of eth
er body until the tax revision bill
has passed the house, leaving the
senate finance committee to work
on both tax and tariff measures
during the recess.
Senate leaders said today that all
proposals for a recess would be
until the tax bill came
from the house, probably within a
fortnight and making adjournment
of both houses possible about the
middle of August.

OF
WAR FINANCE IS
COMPROMISE
Policy of Harding
Aimed at Business
AiInrent.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.)


Washington, July 27.-President
Harding has had to intervene again
ir the affairs of congress. The dg
ricultural group which has once
before threatened to upset the ad-
ministration program has finally
succeeded IN forcing to the front
its proposals to finance agriculture
and the Harding administration
now has worked OUT a compromise
plan which is designed to satisfy
the agricultural element and cure
few other domestic troubles at
the same time. 1t is the most sig
nificant step that has been taken
to meet the ailments of business
since the fourth of March.
The president is suggesting a
broad policy which is in a sense a
reversal of Republican policy of a
year ago but which has been made
necessary by developments and
circumstances. When the war end
ed, the Republican congress put an
end to the war finance corporation
and the cry everywhere was to
take the government out of the
banking business. Economic dis
tress developed a demand for the
revival of me war finance corpora
ton. This was bitterly fought by
Secretary Houston and the Wilson
administration, but congress pass
cd the measure over the preSiden-
tial veto. 1t was argued that the
government would do only an incl
dental thing and would not engage
in any financing private business
on a large scale. But the revival
OF the war finance corporation
hasn't proved sufficient. The farm
ers are not satisfied. They realized
that the corporation did help fin
arce exports but its powers were
not adequate to finance the deliv-
cry on this side of the water-the
movement from farm to seaboard.
So the Norris bill was proposed,
whereby revolving fund would
be used, making available sums Ill
tie way from S100.000,000 to one
hundred billion.
Class Legislation.
1t looked like class legislation
and seemed to set up a rival organ
iZation to the war finance corpor-
alton. Senator Lodge expressed
the administrator opposition in
the open senate but this didn't
deter the agricultural group. Presi-
dent Harding summoned Secretar-
les Hoover, Wallace and Mellon
and Eugene Meyer, managing di-
rector of The war finance corpor-
alton, and they evolved bill
which would attempt to broaden
the scope of the war finance cor
poration so as to 10 all that the
Norris bill intended.
At the same time the administra-
ton realizing that congress wasn't
in mood 10 pay out money to the
railroads decided that it would be
a good idea to couple the railroad
finance problem with the farm aid
proposal and try to make an omnt-
bus bill of it In other words, the
Harding administration has in ef-
feet found it necessary to go back
to wartime methods and build an
institution which will be an aux
iliary to the governments financial
machinery and will devote Itself
exclusively to emergency credit
situations, growing out of the re-
adjustments on the farm and on
the railroads and presumably will
help other classes of industry
which need financing.

in the old organization of the Chi
cago Grand Opera company, due to
alleged lax methods in box office
