that considerable work has been done
toward it's preparation and that the
subjects It is to cover virtually had
been selected.
II Is understood il will be very brief
and will attempt no detailed discus

solution. One of the outstanding feat
ures Is expected to be an appeal for
confidence in the nations business abii-

Defers Taxation Policy.
Detailed statement of taxation pol
icy, however, is to be reserved until
congress has been called. into special
session, probably in April.
1t Is belived Mr.. Harding's address
will touch briefly on the question Of an
international peace association, and
will tersely pledge the incoming ad-
ministration to use its best effort TO
secure a peace agreement compatible
with American aspirations. There is
expected also to be word Of friend
ship for Mexico and the rest of Latin
America.
For the present. Mr.. Harding is de-
voting little time TO the actual wording
of the document, and most of the real
work of the putting his Ideas into
language probably will not be done I'M

He has heavy appointment list

turned from a tour of Wisconsin and
Iowa cities. when they inspected fair
grounds and sought suggestions for
the new grand stand and stock pa
vilion to be built in Wausau this
spring.
The committee recommended a
grand stand similar to the one erected
recently at Davenport, Iowa, be built
here. Ii is of concrete and wood with
steel beams and composition roof.
There are no posts on the interior of
the stand, II is planned to locate this
100 feet from the race track and the
lowest row of seats would be twelve
feet above the ground. The stand
would accommodate 5000 people If
present plans are carried out.
The live stock pavilion at Fort
Dodge, Iowa. the committee thought
to be the finest II had seen and the
members recommended that the local
pavilion be modelled after il. The
building would be square and two
long stock barns would be attached
to 1t, affording ample room for the
housing of 250 head of cattle.
