VIEWS CONFLICT ON TAX BURDEN
 ID BE IMPOSED
Democrats Take Issue With Republican Claims Regard ing New Administration
 Tariff Bill
By Associated Press

Washington, June 30.--Sharplyaeo fficting views as to the tax burden to be imposed on the American bill were expressed today by republi- can and democratic leaders of the House.
 Counting the free list, the aver age duty rate was estimated by Chairman Fordney of the ways ard means committee at between IS and 20 per cent, compared with the 1855 Payne Aldrich average and 6 per cent under the present Underwood measure Mir. Fordney insisted how eyer. that the average, after an accurate estimate, would range low CT than -Aldrich schedules,
 Taking issue with the chairman, Representative Garner, Texas, rank ing democrat on the committee, de- clared the rates, considering the American valuation provisions, were higher than those in any tariff bull passed by Congress since the Civil war. Quoting statements of republi- cans that the bill, if passed as writ ten, would bring in about s100,00o,- 900 annually, Mir. Garner charged this meant an additional cost of at least $2,G00, 100000 and that the larger portion of this burden would fall upon the actual necessities of life"
 MT. Fordney had announced early in the day that he would issue statement showing in detail some of the essential provisions of the bill. and clearing up many points of diff ference, but rush of work he later said, made it impossible.
 Unending Controversy
 The upshot of all tariff talk vtri- fled predictions made before the plii was introduced Wednesday-that the question whether the new rates, taken as a whole were higher or lower than the Payne -Aldrich duties would be the subject of intending and ever lasting controversy and discussion
 In the absence of the expected state- ment from Fordney, members gener ally found the 346-page bill almost bewildering There was resentment against some of the schedules by re- publicans, but broadly speaking mern- bers stood on the bill, according to party affiliations. There was howl from some democrats over the free list. which they insisted had been too sharply reduced.
 Before going into the preliminary republican caucus tonight many re representatives said it would take two of three sessions to adjust all oil- ferences. Mir. Fordney's plan to have the bill reported Saturday, after a meeting of the full committee, was changed and the meeting was called for Wednesday.
 Scores of memoers questioned about the bill, said they had not had the

MOD|F F|CAT|ON OF
 ARMY BILL MAY
 BE FUTURE NEED
President Declares Dismissal of Men May Have Effect on Morale and lnfIu-
 ence Enlistment
By Associated Press

WashlE;gton. June ,. " Iresident Harding informed Congress e9e that, while he had signed the army appropriation bill with its provision for a reduction of the regular army to 150,000 men by next october l, it might necessary to ask for rnodi ffcaton of the measure later to avoid embarrassment 10 the Secretary of War.
 The executive held in special mes sage sent to both the Senate and the House that summary dismissal from the army of men who- had enlisted for longer period than October 1 would seem to involve a repudiation of a moral obligation by the government which would have Its effect upon the morale of the army and possibly in fluence enlistments in the future.
 Nature Not Disclosed
 The nature of the notifications. which might be asked for later was not disclosed. nor did the President explain how it was proposed to meet the moral obligation to the men and a the same time carry out the direc- tion of Congress to reduce the force by some 10000 men in the next three months. He did say, however, that "every effort will be made to meet the requirement of the Congress at the earliest possible day"
 Secretary Weeks, in discussing the bill today. said that If the war de. partment succeeded In meeting the limitations imposed by Congress some 10000 civilian employees of the army resides the 70 900 enlisted men would b. tarown on the labor markec to complicate the unemployment situa- tion. He added that the war depart- ment still hoped to. be able to avoid the summary dismissal Of any en- listed men in reducing the army and that for the present no eniGted men would be discharged against their wishes.
 Opportunity to Resign
 The Var Secretary. explained that an opportunity would be given en- listed men in the service who desire to leave to tender their resignations. In this way, he said. it was hoped to avoid forced discharge For the next few weeks, MT. Weeks added. only routine and requested discharges would be issued. If these do not i'm dicate that the enlisted strength will reach the level fixed by Congress the question of arbitrarily discharg- ing enough men to make up the diff ference will then be taker up.
 Signing the bill, President Hard ing was dertsood to ha- folio ed a course regarded by his advisers as the only practicable one n view, of the insistence of both the Huse and senate that the army be reduced as proposed in the measure and the short time remaining before the end of the end of the fi1cal year.

fits which are in evidence in the
church as much as elsewhere. "A
divine call to the ministery, he
pointed out, does not necessarily
qualify or equip a pastor for any
or all lines of religious work, anu
a grouping of the men is conse-
ouently necessary to get the work
on an efficient basis.
The work of the minister as an
administrator. preacher, home
worker and an evangelist, has been
outlined by DR., Bugstahier, who
showed the necessity of order and
organization in the different lines
of church activity. He suggested
that the pulpit work of the Eastor
be outlined for a year ahead, with
definite objectiyes in view. SINH
Iarly in the home work, tie pastor
should follow a definite schedule
in visiting and meeting the reople
of his community.
DR.. Burgstahier, pastor the Cen
tral Park church, st. Paul, Mime
sofa, has made a remarkable sue
cess of the work in his own city,
and comes to Salem with the rec
ord of his church behind him as
an example of the possibilities
awaiting the future of church
which can get down on business

This advice meets immediate condemnation
from those fanatics who champion that form of suicide
known birth control wfro declare that American
should have fewer babies and their complexion and general
health would take of themselves"
Here have conflicting advice from those posing
perts but there can be question but that the
following natural laws best her health and there

"The shallow woman striving for beauty seldom
