COURAGE VS..
LEADERSHIP.

Another Republican campaign promise
burst Ike hot air balloon when the
Republican Senate following President
Harding's speech voted to recommit the
soldiers bonus bill to the emba1ming de-
partment of Senator Penrose's Finance
Committee This In the opinion Of many
disposes Of the bill finally so far as this
Congress is concerned
While there is no disposition among
Democrats to criticize President Harding
for following the custom Of President
Wilson in delivering his message In per
son to Congress, attention is called to the
fact that he is the first President of the
United States to appear before either
House for the purpose NJ defeating pro
posed legislation. Some newspapers and
individuals have referred to President
Harding's speech against the soldiers
bonus bill as an act of leadership and
courage.
without denying President Harding any
credit which may be due him or imposing
upon him any blame in the matter Of
defeating this proposed legislation, the
part played by him and most of the Re
publican Senators displayed far different
qualities from either leadership or
courage.
Following Secretary MELONS letter
saying the passage Of the bill might cause
a financial breakdown, the Republican
Senators were placed In the position of
either voting against the soldiers, which
they had not the courage to do, for sol
diers have many votes or of voting
against the Administration, which they
had not the courage to do, for the Ad
ministration has much undistributed pat
ronage. SO, according to report some
Senators implored President Harding to
come to the Senate and make a speech
against the bill and save their faces
Thus, it would appear the President was
led to the Senate instead Of leading

HOUSE DOES
TARIFF WORST.

The Republican House having done its
worst tariff tinkering for which there
was no demand beyond the readjustment
Of schedules to meet peace conditions
and for revenue purposes. 1t Is now In
order for that body to try it's hand at
tax revision, for which the business world
is clamoring. There are no indica-
lions that there will be any better re-
suits in tax revision than there were in
tariff tinkerlng. Apparently the Re
publicans have no plans beyond the shift
ing OF taxes, which, according to all lie
publican precedents, means n heavier
burden on the smaller taxpayers That
taxes cannot, and therefore, Will not be
reduced is obvious to any one familiar
with Government, appropriations and ex-
penditures. Even Senator Penrose,
chairman Of the Finance Committee adj
mits that he does not look for any radical
change in the tax and ways and means
Of collecting the tax.
The one chance the Republicans had
to keep their campaign promise, to re
duce taxation they failed to take ad-
vantage of, which was by prompt action
on disarmament and the reduction Of
war appropriations. The disarmament
matter is now in the same muddle and
uncertain condition as most Of the other
matters With which the Administration
has attempted TO deal.
There Is no disposition among Demo
Gratis. to anticipate the action Of Re
publicans on tax revision or to criticise
prematurely any effort they may make in
this direction. On the contrary. it Is
certain the Democrats will do everything
possible to expedite tax revision Iegis-
lation and will do their utmost to relieve
business of onerous war taxation and
protect the consuming public from bear
ing an unjust share Their attitude
toward business and the public is one Of
helpfulness; their attitude toward the
Republican legislators is one of sym
pathy.

NO BENEFIT
OFFERED SOUTH.

The restoration of long staple cotton
to the free list, upon which the Com
mittee Of the Whole had placed a 10
per cent ad valorem duty with the evil
dent hope Of catching Southern votes.
This duty would not have benefited the
South as it applies only to an Egyptian
product not comparable TO the southern
product.
The House left petroleum and fuel oil
on the free list. where they had been
placed by the Committee Of the Whole
as a concession to or at the dictation of
President Harding, eliminating the duties
which previously had been placed thereon.
The attempt Of the Republicans to put
tariff on asphalt and thus increase the
price Of road construction was also de-
feated and asphalt loft on the free list.
Although the bin passed with seven
Republicans voting against IL and seven
Democrats voting for it, the Republic
an vote by no means indicates any party
solidarity, but on the contrary, as shown
by the votes on amendments a wide
division Of opinion which Is magnifed
many fold in the minds OF the rank and
file of the party.
The passage Of the Fordney bill under
the steam-roller and gag rule methods
recalls a prophesy made last March by
the New York World which said:
Mr.. Taft entrusted the revision OF the
tariff to the Republican leaders in Con
eress, and they wrecked his Administra-
ton If Mr.. Harding entrusts the re-
vision of the tariff and the tax laws to
the Republican leaders in Congress It is
safe to predict they VIII wreck his Ad
min stration."
1t is enough to say now that ''Uncle
Joe" Fordney's Wrecking Crew is on
the job.

FORDNEY BILL
DESCRIBED AS
TARIFF FREAK
Richard Linthiecum Sees Meas
ure as Worst in G. o. p.
Annals.
NOW FOR TAX REFORM
By RICHARD LINTHICUM.

WASHINGTON, July 27-Under the
spell of partisan obsession the Republican
mountain has labored and brought forth
In the House a tariff monstrosity and
mystery which Is a combination Of the
deformed Caliban and The Man in the
Iron Mask-otherwise the Fordney tariff
bill
The most monstrous thing about this
creation is that tbears all If the Inca
ments of the Payne-Aldrich iii of 1909,
and the mystery is the American val
uation" clause under which no importer
will know hat tariff rate he will have
to pay.
The deformaties Of the measure are due
largely to the gag rule under which it
was passed preventing amendment Of the
bill except in the case Of a few schedules.
On the schedules open to amendment the
Democrats won a signal victory when the
bill was placed upon passage in the
House.
The three important amendments upon
which the House reversed the Commit
tee of the Whole were:
Striking out the embargo on foreign
dyes, an amendment which the Com
nittee Of the Whole had rejected-an
embargo OF special value to the Du Pont
Interests and the Allied Chemical Com
Dany.
Restoring hides to the free list upon
which the Committee Of the Whole had
put a 10 per cent ad valorem duty-a
duty which would not have benefited the
farmer or the cattle raiser who sell their
cattle on the hoof to the packers, who,
In turn, control the tanneries.

Washington. May 3.-Reopening of ne gotiations between the shipping board. steamship owners and marine workers in an effort to settle the wage dispute which threatens a tie-up of American shipping was indicated as probable to- day by Chairman Benson, who an- nounced that a conference of all the par ties to the controversy might be held here tomorrow.
 Negotiations to draft an agreement covering wages and working conditions came to an abrupt end -ast Friday with the refusal of the men to accept a Is per cent. wage cut. later made effective by the board. The men carried their case to President Harding who turned the matter over to Secretaries Davis and Hoover. The latter since have held con- ferences with union leaders in attempt to bring about an agreement by con- ciliation.
 Since yesterday, Chairman Benson said. the whole problem has been direct ly in the hands of Secretary Davis. He added that the situation looked very hopeful. Discussing the possibility of conference tomorrow, he said that a committee of shipowners was on its way here, but all the parties to such a con 1 ference might not be here by tomorrow | What would be the scope of the confer ence he did not know, the chairman said.
