Harding Backs Smeot.
As for the controversy inside the
Republican party, it is fraught with
much danger but the chances are II
will not do permanent injury. The
fact is the farmer-lAbor coalition
threatens to embarrass the Harding
administration more than has been
apparent on the surface. The true
significance of Senator Shoots ad-
yocacy of sales tar at the very
time when the Republican leader
ship of the house is sticking to the
older methods of taxation is Just
becoming clear.
Senator Smoot is a stauch friend
of MIR. Harding He isn't the kind
to throw wrenches in the machin-
cry of Republican progress. He
wouldn't be championing a sales
tax if he didn't have encouragement
from the White house. He has
lined up behind also about twenty
one Republican senators, most of
whom are well known as members
OF the inner circle of the admins
tration. Postmaster General Will
Hayes in a recent speech at Cleve-
land said kind words for the sales
tax though he doubted whether it
could be applied at once Broadly
speaking there is more sympathy
for the Smoot program than is ad-
mitted at the White house. One ex-
PLANTATION for the reluctance of Mr..
Harding to commit himself on the
subject is that from the first he felt
he ought to keep an open mind and
permit the situation to develop
without executive suggestion The
sales tax has been variously pro-
nounced as politically dangerous
and economically unsound. The
prejudice on the latter ground is
slowly being overcome but Republi-
can leaders in the house still insist
that no sales tax can be devised
which viii not pass the burden on
to the ultimate consumer in which
case the American people might

show their resentment at the polls
a year hence.
The affinity for a sales tax among
administration Republicans pro-
ceeds. however, from another set OF
circumstances. The farmer-iabor
group is determined to see that the
taxes on transportation. especially
freights. are repealed at once. That
knocks out about si31. DOC, 900 which
will have to be made up somewhere
else. Those who want to see the
excess profits taxes and the higher
surtaxes repealed are fearful lest
the farmer-labor group insist that
the deficit be made up out OF those
two items The sudden turn to- a
sales tax is really based upon the
theory that if the farmer-labor
group will agree to it, they can
gracefully withdraw their opposi-
ton to the repeal OF the excess prof
its tax because the sales tax idea
is designed to do away with all
sorts of taxation and reduce the
whole formula to collections from
only four or FIVE sources OF revenue.
But the agricultural and labor
bloc Is not ready to agree Republi-
can Leader Mondell, who knows the
sentiment of the house, is urging
that the house bill be passed by the
senate because he fears the house
will never approve sales tax. The
Tight may be settled in the senate
but there is a good chance that in
the end conference committee of
both houses may have to write the
tax bill. Senator Smoot is making
a real fight for the sales tax. He
says the house bill merely relieves
the small tax payer whose income is
5000 or under and benefits the
man with an income above SOS, 900
year and places the real burden
on that large class of progressive
business men whose incomes are be-
tween IS, 900 and SIS, 900 a year and
on whom the country depends for
the maintenance OF business condi-
lions, the men whose initiative had
given employment to an army of
workers and who are prevented to-
day from expanding because of the
excess profits and other strangIing
taxes The agricultural and labor
Republicans are arresting the eff
forts of the conservative Republi-
cans who believe the tax program
must be written from the view
point Of stimulating business as a
whole rather than by trying to
satisfy groups and classes.
