him. If he is sent to prison a certain

like sum sent to his family. If he is
hanged his family is supported by his
tong. This money is secured by as

RAPS HARDING
FOR REJECTING
MELONS PLAN
Democratic Leader Says Bust
ness Men of Country Will
Not be Fooled by Action.
ADOPT SUDDEN CHANGE
President Agrees to Fordney
Proposal Following White
House Conference.
By Associated Press


WASHINGTON, Aug. IA. - The
administration tax revision program
was attacked tonight by Chairman
White Of the democratic committee
who declared in a formal statement
that business men would not be fool
ed with the methods of the repub-
licans "in order TO make evidence Of
a false show of economy"
"A sudden change in the repub-
lican tax bill program decided upon
at the white house conference re-
Gently" Mr.. White said, has only
added confusion and uncertainty to
the governments fiscal situation
and business and financial circles
generally are surprised and disap-
pointed at Pres't Harding's repudi-
alton Of Secretary Of the Treasury
Mellon as his fiscal adviser and his
recognition instead of Chairman
Fordney of the ways and means
committees as the financial guide of
his administration.
Melons Message.
"Sec'y Mellon told congress, pre-
sumably with the knowledge and
approval of the president, that he
will need s4,554. 100000 to meet
government expenditures for the
next fiscal year. He told congress
also in favor OF these expenditures
that taxes cannot be reduced.
This meant, of course, that the
republican campaign promise to re-
duce the federal taxes would not.
and, in fact, could not be kept.
\ Chairman Fordney. who wrote
the wonderful tariff bill Of which
the senate is expected to leave only
the enacting clause, came to the po-
litical rescue of the administration
and announced a plan TO reduce
taxes regardless OF the amount Of
money needed to meet expenditures,
which would create a deficit to be
taken care Of by borrowing money,
thus increasing the public debt, but,
as the optimistic Mr.. Fordney saw
It, his plan would make 1t appear
that the party was keeping its cam
paign pledge to reduce taxes and
was making a grand record Of
economy.
Harding Chooses.
Upon his return from his vaca-
ton, Pres't Harding was called upon
to choose between the Mellon plan
OF providing for enough revenue TO
meet expenditures and the Fordney
plan for Juggling the taxes by f1c-
titious reductions and a false show
of economy. He chose the FOrdney
plan. seemingly sacrificing an hon
est financial policy to political ex-
pediency, which ought to deceive
nobody"
The ways and means committee
draft Of the tax revision bill was
put in form Sunday. for presenta-
ton Monday to the conference OF
house republicans. which will de-
eide upon the procedure for house
consideration which is expected to
begin on Monday and end with a
vote late Saturday.

METHODISTS PLAN
FOR MEETING IN
SOUTH BEND SOON
Rev. B. ID. Beck Announces
Northwest Indiana Confer
ence Held in September.

Grace Methodist church, assisted
by the other Methodist churches of
the city will be host to the North
west Indiana conference. which
meets September 28. In preparation
for that Rev. b. D. Beck preached a
sermon on Christian hospitality Sun
day morning. He took for his theme.
Religion Of the Second Mile in Hos
pitality." The text was Matt. Sal:
And whatsoever shall compel the 70
go a mile, go with him twain"
christianity" he said, leads men
to go farther in right living than is
humanity natural or expected. One
characteristic of the Christian life
is that the man who is a Christian
has more kindness, more love, more
patience, more forgiveness and will
spend more money and energy in
helpfulness The Christian religion
leads men up and on to higher, bet
ter things.
Jesus was laying one stone in the
foundation Of a better world when
He gave US the principle Of the sec
ond mile When one has caused an
other 10 go a mile needlessly the nat
ural thing for the offended man IL to
stop and refuse to go further. More
over, to get mad about il and enter

more manhood. Anybody could do
the other. Only the man who has
gotten the spirit OF Jesus could rise

living would change many situations.
avoid many quarrels. make many
friendships and finally lift the whole
world.
New Birth OF Spirit.
The example for this is our Heav-
emily Father! He makes the sun 10
rise o. the evil and on the good, and
sends rain on the just and on the un-
just. He loves those who do not love
Him. He does good TO those who do
evil toward Him. IF we are 10 be the
children Of God. then we must par
take Of these characteristics OF Cod
and do as He does. Jesus teaches

TO STUDY DETAILS
: OF TARIFF MEASURE
Senate Finance Committee
Will Begin Hearings on
Changes in New Law.
By Associated Press
WASHINGTON

By Associated Press:
WASHINGTON, Aug. IA The
senate finance committee is sched-
uled to start Monday consideration
of details of the next tariff law, be-
ginning a series Of open hearings on
all rates in the measure. More than
500 persons representing associa-
tons, firms and individual business
enterprises, have requested Chair
man Penrose to allot time to them
for testimony on various phases of
the. rate question.
With American valuation agreed
upon as the basis for levying import
duties. the foundation of the bill
passed by the house remains I'M
changed, but Mr.. Penrose said Sun
day many changes probably would
be made in the specific rates before
the measure is ready to be returned
to the senate.
Main Question.
The other main controversial ques-
ton, that of restoring the dye en-
barge rejected by the house. has not
been settled finally but the joint sub
committee of two senators and two
representatives expected Sunday TO
be ready TO report an agreement be-
fore Tuesday.
The great number Of persons de-
string to testify has presented q ser
ious problem TO the committee, Mr..
Penrose said. He explained that
even a limitation OF Is minutes TO
each witness would not avoid inter
minable delay and declared that
something radical" must be done 10
speed up consideration Of the bill.
While the committee is vending
its way through the 16 subjects Gus
tom experts and treasury actuaries
will be working out new rates where
such appear necessary.
