CALL TARIFF BILL
PLAN TO PLUNDER'
Democrats File Minority
Report Against Measure
Now Before House
FINAL VOTE is
SET FOR JULY Il
Possibility That Tax Laws Will BE Re-
vised Before Measure Gets Through
Senate-LittIe Interest Among House
Members.

! WASHINGTON, July With the
house beginning consideration of the gem
eral tariff bill today the Republican ma
jority has fixed July 81 as the date for a
final vote on the measure. Democratic
members of the ways and means commit
tee, in minority report filed today in
the house of representatives, denounced
the administration bill as a conspiracy
to benefit a few favOrites at the expense
of all humanity"
Like every conspiracy it has been
hatched in secrecy" the report says. add
ing, ''we record our solemn judgment that
this measure is a plan to plumber the
people of our own country and to oppress
the people of every country for the benefit
of few men who have succeeded in
usurping for all practical purposes the
taxing power of this government. using it
primarily to enrich themselves and sec
ondarily to finance the political party
which tOlerateS, encourages and facilitates
the uSurpation."
With the house ready to start consid
| Grafton of the tariff bill, it is becoming
more and more apparent that in all prob
ability tax laws will be revised before the
tariff measure can be enacted. This sit
uation was emphasized by two develop
mentS yesterday.
Several ''blocs'' of Republican inSurg-
ents i'm the house who have been denounc-
/ lag various schedules in the tariff bill
will allow the measure to be rushed
through the house so that work on revenue
revision may be expedited They have
received virtual assurances from Repub-
= lican senate leaders that the tariff bill
after its passage by the house will be pig
eonhOled by the senate finance committee
until the new tax law is enacted.
! Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Blair issued q warning that unless the
revenue laws are revised soon the bureau
with its present force cannot reorganiZe
its work so that the new taxes can be ap-
piled to income and profits accruing dur
ing the calendar year 1921 which would
1 be collectable in 1922. To make the
change from the old 10 the new tax laws
the revision should have been completed
now. Mr.. Blair said
| The permanent tariff bill has aroused
| little interest in the house many repre-
sentatives being entirely unfamiliar with
! the schedules. The expected fights on
several schedules are not developing. as
it is realized that n mistake was made in
spending three months in framing the
measure when there was such Il universal
demand for revision of the revenue laws.

UP FOR CLASSICS
Says Science and Commerce Would Not

Dropped

PHILADELPHIA, July Science.
commerce and social culture could not
progress if our educational system
dropped the classics of ancient civiliza-

Calvin Coolidge today told the American
classical league in session at the Uni

the ideals toward which all men and
nations are striving today. Unless
Americans still continue to live il
something more than the present, tC

factory 10 Senate

WASHINGTON, July Some of
President Harding's advisers are expected
to recommend that peace proclamation
be issued to supplement the congressional
resolution ending the state of war with
Germany and Austria. The President Is
understood. however, to have reached no
decision pending receipt of n legal opin-
ion from Attorney General Daugherty.
President Harding conferred again yes
terday with Secretary of State Hughes
regarding the course the administration
should take in completing permanent
peace arrangement. The President Is
seeking a compromise between the recon-
mendation of Secretary Hughes that an
expurgated draft of the Treaty of Yer
sailles be resubmitted to the senate and
the attitude of the senate irreconcilables
who want that treaty wholly discarded.
How to protect the rights obtained by
the United States through its part in the
war. by the terms of the armiStice and
under the Versailles treaty. without ac-
cepting the treaty in some form, Is the
difficult task which Mr.. Harding faces.
The Knox-Porter resolution declaring
peace with Germany and Austria, which
the President signed last Saturday, spe-
officially Stipulates that this country does
not yield amy rights obtained through the
Versailles compact.
Mr.. Hughes believes the only way these
rights can be adequately safeguarded is by
ratification of the Versailles treaty, and
he has prepared a draft of it with objec-
tionable features eliminated. The bitter
enderS in the senate insist all that l.
needed is a treaty of amity and commerce
with Germany.
