CONGRESSMAN
CHR!sT0PHERs0N
LOOKS FOR TARIFF AND TAXA
TION TO BE BIG
ISSUES.

Sioux Falls, March IL. - Tariff
and taxation-these are the two big
things looming in the foreground at
Washington. with foreign relations
ever bobbing into attention" de-
clared Congressman Charles A
Christopherson. popular South Da-
-kota representative today.
Mr.. Christopherson is in Sioux
Falls to await the call of President
Harding for the convening of the new
congress. In all probability this will
be April 4
Il look for a wide-open discussion
OF both of the big problems" says
Mr.. Christopherson. There is much
to be done, and / would not be great
ly surprised TO see the present laws
on both taxation and tariff wiped off
the statute books and new ones en-
acted.
Everyone realizes that the present
depression can be greatly relieved by
proper tariff adjustments. This, ami
the realization that the United States
is now a power in world commerce
and trade is certain TO lead to some
sweeping changes consistent with re-
publicanism.
Constant allusion 10 the burden
OF taxation will lead TO an effort TO
secure greater equity in the process
of raising funds for the functioning
of the national government Many
believe that certain principles of the
present taxation lag are wrong. sn
the 9th congress will try TO adjust
them.

Washington. March 12.-Adminis-
tration officials withheld commen to-
day on the statement made at the
French embassy here and the state
department with regard TO the ac-
ceptance by the United States of a
modified league of nations. The i'm
preston was given, however, that
the initiative in any such development
rested entirely with the French gov
ernment and that in any event the
matter had not yet reached the stage
of negotiations.

cuss the question. II became known,
however, that on last Tuesday he
had half hour talk with Ambass-
ador Jusserand Just before the pre-
sentation of the diplomatic corps
Whether the subject of the league of
nations was broached has not been
made known.
President Harding already has re-
ceived considerable information
through his unofficial sources re-
garding the feeling of European
statesmen and it is expected that he
will make a still more exhaustive
investigation before he launched his
foreign program.
The forthcoming visit of former
Premier Viviani on special mission
and the return of Ambassador Davis
from London are regarded as open
ing two important avenues of infor-
nation aside from those which the
president is preparing on his own
initiative. 1t would not surprise those
who have been in close touch with
the situation if in addition the nresi-
dent sent several representatives
abroad within the next few weeks to
make inquiries.
