question that is being most dis
oussed by the republican lead

and means committee and some
of his fellow members insist
that a permanent tariff bill viii top
the Legislative program of the House;
In contradiction to this is a formal
interview by House Leader Mondeli
that taxes should be reduced first
and then the tariff should be revised.
1t should he remembered that House
Leader Mondell. who will be in charge
of the Legislative program. made this
statement after conference with
President Harding. This same view
is expressed by some members of the
ways and means committee.
Other Bills Discussed.
A committee conference yesterday
took up. among other things. the
question of preparing and rushing
through the House the same anti
dumping bill passed last session, to-
gether with an added American val
uation measure. The latter proba bly,
will be incorporated in the same bill.
The committee adopted resolution
requesting Treasury Department Off
cials to frame rough draft for its
consideration.
There was no intimation from the
White House as to whether the Pres
ident had approved the program
agreed upon Monday at a conference
of the ways and means and Senate

as to whether the committee had

to the chairman, is emphatic in urg-

month, with a reduction Of 5 cents per
thousand for each $4,000 cubic feet or
less per month until the minimum rate
is reached. He claimed that out of
seVenty-one lunchroomS and cafes
canvaSsed. thirty-two have averaged
between $4,000 and 100000 per month
for the past three months. the renia in
ing thirty nine having used in the
neighborhood of $4,000 cubic feet at
least one month during that period
He claimed. further, that if the first
step were made to include those who
consume 10000 cubic feet per month
there would be a strong incentive for
such business places to use more gas
and thereby more than offset the re-
ductiOn in revenue resulting from the
lower rate. The commission is of the
opinion that such change in the
step rate is reasonable. but that it
should not apply to the extent sug-
gested.
COmmisSiOn's Conclusions.
after a careful consideration of the
evidence in this case the commission
is of the opinion that rates for gas
both to retail consumers and to
wholesale consumers should be re-
duced. The rates herein established
will. in the opinion of the commits
sion. enable the company to earn
reasonable return on the fair value of
its property as found by the commits
sion.
1T. is. therefore, ordered:
"u That the rates to be charged
by the Washington Gas Light Com
pany and the Georgetown Gas Light
Company to consumers other than the
United States and the District of CO.
lumbia shall be in accordance with
the following schedules: For less than
$4,000 cubic feet of gas per month.
$1.25; for 1000 ~cubic feet and less
than 100000 cubic feet per month.
s12O: for 250.0G0 cubic feet and less
than 100000 cubic feet per month.
$115: for 100000 cubic feet and less
than 100000 cubic feet per month.
s11O; for 100000 cubic feet and less
than 1.O00.000 cubic feet per month
S1.05: for 100000 cubic feet or more
per month. 81.
THE above rates apply to each in
stallation or plant. The consumption
of gas by the same customer in diff
ferent plants or locations will not be
combined.
Penalty for Delay In Payment.
"t2) That if any private consumer of
gas shall not pay monthly any gas

shall have been presented the gas

Stephane Lauzanne Coming With
Former Prime Minister of
France.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS. March 17.-Rene Viviani,
former prime minister of France. on
his forthcoming visit to the United
States will go prepared to ask on be-
nations whether the United States
government will not enter the league
of nations provided article y is
stricken from the covenant of the
league.
This has not been disclosed Of
ficially, nor by NJ. Viviani himself;
but it is the understanding of his
intimate associates in public lf, that
this will be the primary object OF ~is
visit to Washington.
Will show Easy Why to Enter.
NJ. Viviani will set forth considera-
tons which he considers will make
il easy for the United States to enter
the league OF nations. He has talk ed
over the question not only with MEM
bers of the French government. but
with the council of the league and
with various persons in Paris who
are regarded as having special knowI-
edge of the United States.
Further. it is understood that NJ.
Niviani will point out that the French
and allied nations cannot abandon
the covenant of the league. because
II is inseparably interviewer with the
execution of the treaty of Versail lies.
first. with regard to the administra-
ton OF the Saar region: second. the
administration Of Danzig and the
Polish corridor; third. that it has
given title to the districts OF the
Eupen and Malmedy to Belgium. and
fourth. that it is charged to super
wise the restriction of Germany's arma-
ment and thai of her late allies. along
with other nations. after the with
drawal of the allied military COM
mission.
What He will Contend.
Besides. NJ. Viviani will contend
that any er3rts to separate the
covenant fro : the treaty would rem
der less secu the fact that the treaty
already is sne treaty of Versailles
This is deerred particularly important
because the allies at present are ap-
plying military and economic pressure
to enforce the treaty.
NJ. Niviani became strong par
tisan of the league of nations during
the recent meeting of the assembly
of the league at Geneva. He seems
to have replaced Leon bourgeois as
the principal French exponent of the
league.

SEES NEED OF EARLY
REVISION Of TAXES
Treasury Department Urges
Legislation to Stabilize
Business Conditions.
EXPERTS TO SUPPLY DATA
Expected Enactments to Be Made
Retroactive to January
of Present Year.

Tax legislation should be given
early attention at the special session
of Congress- so that the business men
of the country could determine early
just how to make their plans, ac-
cording to the view~at the Treasury
Department. Determination of the
governments course in this particu-
lar will help much toward the stab
iiization of business conditions
throughout the country Treasury Of
flCials say.
1t is necessary that the business
interests know at as early date as
possible on just what basis the gov
ernment taxes will be figured. The
tax legislation. whatever form it
takes. will undoubtedly be made re-
troactive to January ! of this year.
Treasury experts are at work on
the figures to determine just what
the results of the March Is collec-
tions have been. 1t probably will be
a week or two before these figures
are completed. and until this is done
the officials will be unable to deter
mine how the taxes will have to be
adjusted to meet the needs of the
government expenditures.
Expect Drop in Collections.
OF course. it was pointed out the
collections up to March Is. are ex-
pected to he somewhat lower than
those for last year covering taxes on
business of the year 1919. This is
due to the temporary business de-
preston during 1920. on which year
the taxes now being collected are
baS Sed.
Before determination of whether
tho tariff or taxation will take pre-
cedence at the special session. it was
indicated at the Treasury Department
there will be more conferences be-
tween congressional leaders and Sec
retary Mellon.
Experts to Give Figures.
At the next conference it is assert :
cd the Treasury experts will have at
hand the necessary figurs. From these
it is expected to bring strongly to
the attention of the legislators the
need of early tax revision legislation.
1t also was indicated at the Treas
ury that there has not yet been form
ed any policy in the direction of a
sales tax, Or any other form of in
ternal tax. Secretary Mellon. it was
indicated. is principally in favor of
getting a workable program for bring
