PLAN PARlEYS
ION NEW TARIFF
Congressional Leaders to Dis
cuss Changes at Confer
ence With President.

The program of the next Congress
on tax and tariff legislation is still
undetermined today. and President
Harding is planning for a series Of
conferences with leaders Of both
houses of Congress to discuss the
question.
CONFERENCES PLANNED.
The President has approved plans
for the passage of an anti-dumping
bill in the special Congress. but tho
question of whether tax revision or
tariff legislation should have preced-
ence Is left undetermined.
Senator NPenrose, chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee, and Chair
man Fordney of the House Ways and
Means Committee will confer with the
President again this week together
with other members of the two com
mittees.
Legislation affecting domestic af-
fairs of the Government will be TAX
en- up by practically every committee
of the House and Senate when Con-
gress meets in extraordinary session
April IL.
For more than a year little do
mestic legislation of Importance has
been passed by Congress. More than
a score OF bills await action. That
few measures except those bearing
on tariff and taxes will pass at the
special session is predicted. Com
mittees OF both chambers however
will hold hearings and prepare other
bills for action at the regular ses-
sion.
WANTS BUDGET BILL.
The budget bill, which was passed
and vetoed last year during the six

ure which the President desires to
see enacted into law except for the
Army and Naval appropriation bills.

The highly intelligent advice Of
fered the Socialists about Debs is
apparently to be disreRarded. They

selves. He offered to give the names and
addresses of owners of lots upon which
weeds would either have to be moved by
the owners or by the city. The ctty's

cover all the territory so he had no OBJ
