Outlook for Passage Of Tariff
and Bonus Bill. Dark
Fordney Opposes
Vacation.
Situation Up to Harding

sidering the adjournment oi congress.
deicfring final action on the tariff and
the bonus until congress should con-
yene again In December Republican
Leader MoDdcll Of the house has been
discussing the move with senate lead.
efs and finding considerable support
for the idea. II will be put up to
President Harding for final deter.
mination.
The leaders feel that this would be
wiser than 10 attempt passage Of the
tariff bill imediaiely
The bill passed by the senate
goes 10 conference with the
house leaders and is bound 10 strike
snag there over the comparative
merits Of the foreign and American
valuation plans, the former approved
by the senate and the latter by the
house
Chairman Fordney Of the house
ways and means committee has de-
clarcd the house will stay IN session
until the snow flies unless the Amer
lean valuation plan Is adopted, and
the members say Joe is a stubborn
fellow" The best that can be hoped
for Is an agreement among the con-
fcrees, sometime in October, result
ing in passing the bill just before the
elections.
Bonus in Tangle.
The bonus legislation is in a tan
gle. The president has not changed
his mind about demanding either
sales tax or some other method OF
meeting the extra drain that would be
placed upon the treasury II the boz
nus is passed.
Republican leaders say that a presi-
dental veto just before election
would be hard 10 explain, demand
ing defense Of themselves at the
expense Of the president or a defense
Of the president at the expense Of
themselves.
Passage OF the tariff bill just be-
fore election would demand unusual
agility IN defending the measure in
so short a time. The democrats can
be relied upon 10 make concerted
attack upon the measure and the re-
publicans say IL will take more than
few weeks 20 catch up with the
partisan falschoods that are certain
to be uttered concerning 1t. Also
retail pro6tcers are expected to take
advantage OF the tariff TO boost prices
at the outset before the public real
izes what is being done, rendering
the proper defense Of the tariff in SO
short time difficult.
Mondell Advises Delay.
Leader Mondcll and other leaders
believe il would be better TO let the
conference committee alone while
congressman 20 about their business,
returning after the elections in De-
cember 10 take up both the bonus
and the tariff.
1t is planned 10 pass the legisIa-
ton asked for by President Harding
before congress adjourns, relative to
the strike situation. The president
moved today in this direction by ac-
cepting the Borah bill for the formu-
lation OF fact-hnding commission
in the coal industry, a bill which
recommends that the commission
shall pass on the adyisability OF ma
tionalization OF the mines, a startling
thing for republican congressman to
consider The other recommends
tons can be considered and adjourn
nent reached in a few days if PreSi-
dent Harding agrees.

II did originate in the ways and

its originator was given credit at

He should have all the credit for it
but as II often happens in Congress
and in the country at large he isn't
getting any credit for 1t. Another
