HARDING MUST
/ APPLY SPURS TO
SLOW CONGRESS
National Legislators
Tnngle Arossses Ex-
ec1tiue Concern.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Copyright, 1s71.)
Especial to The Argus.)

y =
Washington, June 17.-President
Harding has found It necessary to
apply the executive eccelerator to
congress. He has been reluctant
to follow in the footsteps Of other
presidents who drove congress with
. firm hand, and he has resented
the suggestion that he should dc
tate to both houses. But, after a
lapse Of two months and half, It
has become apparent that the extra
session Of congress will be fruit
less unless the executive forgets
his oft-expressed ideas about the
complete separation Of the func-
tions Of the executive and legisla-
tive branches of the government
and accept the role Of party leader,
which made 1t possible for Presi-
dents Roosevelt and Wilson to get
results in congress, and which
President Taft subsequently admit
ted that he, too, should have done
early in his administration.
Lc80cIU W80L Help
The situation today is strikingly
parallel to that which existed a
few months after Mr.. Taft was In
augurated. Congress was then led
by Messrs. Aldrich and Cannon,
who had pronounced views on the
tariff with which Mr.. Taft felt hes
liant to take issue. There are NO
two leaders in congress who WELD
as much power as Aldrich and
Cannon, but in their places have
arisen strong groups representing
class interests. The danger to Mr.
Harding's legislative program lies
in the inability Of the Republican
leaders in either house to adjust
the differences between the various
groups. The leaders, therefore. are
really anxious for executive help.
So tangled has the situation be-
come that these Republican lead.
ers who foresee trouble at the polls
a year from this fall. when the
present house is up for reelection
have discussed among themselve!
the advisability of sending steering
committees to the White house tt
ask for help. Meanwhile, at prac
Iticaily every meeting Of the cab
met, the president has bsen urget
to take . hand vigorously and in
sist that congress concentrate ol
the tariff and taxation to the ute
exclusion of every other Legislative
proposal, however important.
Political Worry Evident
Thus the situation has been drift
ing without tangible results. MI
I Harding has about decided to do
