Democrats To BE Active
One reason why astute Republican
leaders are urging that taxes be Civ
already the Republicans have had
control of congress for two eventful
years and during that time have
done nothing to lift or rearrange the
tax burdens of the people. 1t per-
haps was good politics from a pure
ly ARTISAN point of view to allow
the people to chafe and suffer I'M
der heavy direct taxes until resent
ment against the Democratic admin
istration made Republican success
absolutely certain in 1920. 1t has
come to light now that a very small,
ty in congress this spring and sum-
mer is going to ring the changes time
and time again on the fact that the
Republicans had an opportunity to
recast the tax system a long while
ago; that President Wilson urged
them to pass some remedial legiSla-
ton, particularly requesting that the
excess profits tax be done away with.
But congress refused to move in the
direction recommended. The Repub-
lican congress leaders decided to
wait until there was a Republican
president in the White House.
Conservative and far-seeing leaders
in the inner circles of the G. o. P.
realize that any further delay will
permit serious charge to lie against
congress. Hence the hectic effort
at the moment to get the tax prob
lem well on its way toward solu-
ton.
While tentative decisions have
been reached in congress not to levy
a sales tax of 1 per cent on all turn
overs, it is difficult for some ex-
perts to see just how the big amount
of money needed by the government
can be raised in any other way if
there is to be a Wiping out of excess
profits taxes and material reduction
in the general tax and SurtaXeS. The

HARDING To URGE
EMERGENCY TARIFF
IN FIRST MESSAGE
BY ROBERT T. SMALL
Geased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(CODyright, 1921

WASHINGTON April 2.-Congress
will be in session one week from to-
morrow and President Harding will
begin within a day or two the prep
aration of his first message to the
legislative branch of the government
Of which he so recently was a part.
Although it is stated at the White
House that no definite plans have
been made to that end the chances
are ten to one that Mr.. Harding will
read his message in person at a joint
session to be arranged in the hall of
the house of representatives one
week from Tuesday. Mr.. Harding
believes that the personal contact be-
tween the executive and Legislative
mere fact that the custom was rein
troduced by Woodrow Wilson will
not deter him from continuing It.
AS he turns to the preparation of
his message Mr.. Harding is being
urged once more to recommend that
the revision of the federal taxes be
given the right of way by congress-
Much as he intends to give congress
all the Difference due to a coordi-
nate branch of the government, the
president already has learned that
the shaping of the Legislative pro-
gram is to be placed very largely in
his own hands. Congress leaders are
going more and more to the White
House for guidance. 1t is not only
II case of consulting the presidents
wishes but of actually ealing upon
him to make the necessary deci-
sions. iii.
The plight of the farmers, a really
serious one, and the call of the man
ufacturing interests for protection
from the dumping" of German
goods upon the American market,
convinced the president two weeks
ago that an emergency tariff and
anti-dumping bill, should have first
consideration at the hands of the
congress. Certain definite proof was
placed before Mr.. Harding that Eu-
ropean dumping had begun and it
was then that he agreed the tariff
should have the right of way over
taxes.

Taxation Urgent

It seemed at that time it would
be an easy matter to re-enact the
Fordney emergency tariff bill in
very much the same form that il
was vetoed by President Wilson. AS
time has gone on. however. it has
been found that more nd more in
terests are coming to Washington
asking that they, too, be given con-
sideration in the emergency bill
While Mr.. Harding himself has eX-
pressed no such fear. the suggestion
has been made that the reconsidera-
ton of the Fordney bill is likely
to open up the entire question of
the tariff and result in a long de-
lay.
Meanwhile the business interests of
the country generally, the bankers.
and the man in the street as we'll
are pressing for the earliest possible
consideration of forms Of taxation,
The Influence which is being brought
to bear along this line at the White
House is very powerful Former
President Taft has been among those
who have urged that taxes some
first.
1t is argued very properly that
taxes directly affect far more per-
sons and far more interests than
any possible emergency tariff bill
could reach. A heavy impost on
WOOL, for instance, would not stop
the cargoes that are now on their
way to this country from Australia.
nor would the new tariff applv to
goods actually in transit at the time
OF the passage of the bill. What
ever damage has been done to the
wool interests by the sudden dump
ing of millions Of pounds of the sta
pie INTO the country would seem at
the moment to ir"
So far as adding to the revenues
is concerned the emergency bill
would be an ale but negligible fac
tor. It is admitted that a general
revision of the tariff. from A to z,
would increase the annual revenues
by not more than $30O,000,000 This
