Harding Favors
Tariff Amendment
for Bonus Bill Money

Washington, April 10 - President
Harding was represented today by
White House callers as favorable to
suggestions that a soldier bonus
revenue raising provision be inserted
in the tariff bill now before the SEN
ate. The president was said to be
still insistant that any bonus bill
adopted should carry or be accom-
panied by some provision for obtain
ing the necessary revenue.
Action of the Senate Republican
caucus yesterday in voting to re-
quest the finance committee to re-
port bonus bill in a reasonable
time" was said today to be construed
by advocates of the measure to mean
within three weeks.

HOUSE INES UP
With PRESIDENT ON
Navy PERSONNEL
Tariff Bill Before =
Senate Today with
Doubt Over Course

Washington. April 19.-The admins
tration tariff bill is to be called up
tomorrow in the Senate. but in the alb
sence Of Senator McCumber, Republi-
can, North Dakota, who Is to have
charge Of it, the program for IL. con-
sideration was tonight somewhat in
definite.
Senator McCumber was returning to-
night from his home in North Dakota
and planned to be on hand in time to
pilot the bills course from the outset.
Some senators on the finance commit
tee hoped that the usual reading of
the measure could be dispensed with,
but since this would require unani-
nous consent they were not very op-
timistic.
If the reading Of the 440-page doc
ument is insisted upon there will not
be much more than that accomplished
tomorrow. With the reading over or
dispensed with. the usual procedure
would be for Mr.. McCumber to make
the opening address. explaining the
work of his committee majority. Cen
orally on a bill Of this magnitude there
would be two or three weeks of general
debate, but the practice in this regard
was departed from by the late Chair
man Penrose when the tax revision
legislation was before the Senate last
year and there were indications that
it might be departed from again in the
case of the tariff bill.
Senator Simmons of North Carolina,
ranking Democrat on the finance COM
mittee. said today the minority report
would not be ready tomorrow. He will
open the general Democratic onslaught
on the measure but it is not now GER
tain when he will speak.
If the general debate should be dis
pensed WITH the order would be for
the mea ASSURE to be taken up for amend
ments with the chemical schedule the
first given consideration. There are
to be assaults generally on the rates
and some idea Of the time the Senate
will be engaged on the bill can be
gained when it is borne in mind that
the Senate committee made more than
1000 amendments to the House bill.
Republican senators Of the agrieul-
tural tariff bloc held another session
today, discussing rates in which they
are interested.
Rates on sugar were discussed at
some length by the bloc, but a final de-
cision was prepared. The House rates
adopted by the committee are not sat
isfactory, the bloc having asked for a
duty Of q cents pound on full duty
sugar and two cents on Cuban. A
decision as to manganese ore. which
the committee placed on the free list,
also went over.
