Sets Forth His Views in
Letter to Fordney, Which
Will Be Read When
Amendment Is Voted
Upon.

WASHINGTON, Nov 17.-President
Harding today informed republican
house conferees on the revenue bill
that a maximum surtax rate of 40
per cent would be agreeable to the
administration.
The presidents views were express
ed at a conference at the White House
with Chairman Fordney of the house
WAYS and means committee and Rep
resentative LongWorth OF Ohio who
with Mr.. Fordney and Representa-
tive Green of Iowa make up the re-
publican house COnferees. The tax
bill as passed by the house provided
a maximum income surtaX of 80 per
virtually amounted to a deadlock en-
sued.
Letter To TOrdney
Arrangements We're made at the
conference for the president to send
a letter to Chairman Fordney setting
forth his views. Mr.. Harding was
represented as faVoring the 80 per
cent but the senate provided
40 per cent compromise in view OF
the legislative situation.
Intervention Sought.
The house conferees were summon
ed to the White House after Repre-
sentative Mondell of Wyoming, The
republican leader, had laid before thu
president the situation III the house
with respect to the surtaN. The inter
vention of the executive was sough
few hours before the time set tol
house to vote on the senate am md

followed conferences between repub
lican leaders and spokesmen for the
insurgents on the majority side a

Move Was Expected.
Both the leaders of the 'insurg

there was a majority in the house 70
the adoption of the senate amend

mans at the same time, and the Port
Arthur peninsula.

S-France would not lie unwilling
to surrender her eXtrl-territorial
privileges We're other powers willing
to do the same. France gave up
these privileges in Japan in 1906 and
was in negotiation with Turkey to
give them up there in 1914 when the
war came. However, the French feel
that extra territoriality should he

A New Deal

The new administration ad-
ministrates in style, and all the
busy nation hangs out hopeful
smile. Upon our jaded shoul-
ders the burden lighter seems
and only office holders are
dreaming mournful dreams,
We're great on swapping horses
if there's a trade in view, and
every one indorses whatever
may be new. We like to see
new faces around us, we confess,
although great charms and
sraces the old ones may possess.
New whiskers are supplanting
the boards we long have seen,
new feet are gallivanting. new
broomS are sweeping clean.
And we distribute folders to tell
how glad we are, and only office
holders are looking black as tar.
It's good no king is reigning in
this star-spangled land. or we'd
all be complaining until we saw
him canned; he'd find US grow
ing cooler, he'd hear us kick and
cuss; five years of any ruler is
quite enough for us. We're fond
of making changes, and old
things are bore whatever new
and strange is, we welcome at
the door: we heave no bricks or
boulders at any unknown guest;
and only office holders seem
weary and distressed.
