The vote Of the House on Thursday

which is the one essential feature
Of the tax revision bill. not only
surrendered to the Senate the con-
stitutfonal prerogative of the House
to write the revenue-raising bill. it is
held, but, in the opinion of the ad-
ministration leaders, gave the re-
publican party a setback which it
will have great difficulty in overcom-
ing when 1t next goes before the
people.
Less than two weeks ago the re-
publican campaign managers got a
terrible scare in the results of local
elections. Then. when Secretary
Hughes laid down a definite pro-
posal to scrap the navies of the world
at the arms parley. the republican
leaders again saw their administration
soar to the pinnacle of popular ap-
proval. The vote of the House on
Thursday again took the heart out
Of them. They fear that imposing
that high surtax on incomes may
nullify much of the good work that
the administration has done. because
they feel that it balks the one out
standing thing which the administra-
tion had promised to do-bring money
into productive industry.
That President Harding recognizes
that this will be the big issue on
which the party now in power must
go before the people is shown in his
letter to Chairman Fordney of the
ways and means committee, urging
compromise on a lower rate-which.
in fact, was what the Senate was ex-
pecting. President Harding and his
political advisers are today depressed
over the approval of the SO per cent
surtax more than anything else that
has happened since March 4.
The House vote on the surtax maxi
mum emphasized two things, the re-
publican campaign managers are inn
pressing upon the party chieftains:
(1) the liability that always goes
with a ponderous majority. and (2)
the modern trend toward group con-
troll.

DELEGATES STAND FIRM
By the Associated Press.

Secretary Hughes and his asso-
ciates Of the American delegation
have no intention of surrenderins
to the naval experts the formulation
Of any policies to guide American
action In naval or other questions
pertaining to the armament confer .
ence.
1t was made plain yesterday that
the function Of the experts was
strictly that of developing the facts.
Determination Of policies upon those
facts is the reserved right of the
civilians who make up the American
delegation.
Emphasis in this connection was
laid yesterday on the undesirable
of diverting attention from the main
issue Of the American naval pro-
posals. the capital ship ratio plan.
All questions Of proportions Of aux
iliary craft. the place Of submarines
in the scheme of curtailment and
similar items are looked upon by the
American delegation as Of secondary

For this reason the American atti-
tude of resolute adherence to the

ship plan has been emphasized. 1t

In CONNECTION with the Japanese
attitude, the impression appeared to
gain ground yesterday that Admiral
Baron Kato, in announcing his pur-

prompted to some extent by conk

Talking To Ones Self Habit In Country

A recent writer describes at length
the habits of city people of talking to

is one of the metropolites traits that
first catches the observing eye of the
visitor from smaller towns and inspires
either his compassion or his disdain. II
is in the city so many people have no
audience, not even an audience of one,
and so they fall into the practice of ad /.

that such monologues are confined to
the crowded communities of men. Talk.
