WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The va
rious plans proposed as the basic
principle of the pending tariff bill
were the subject of two-hour con-
ference between President Harding
and Republicans of the senate finance
committee late today. A final deci-
sion as between the proposals was
left to the senators, who expect to
resume consideration of the problem
tomorrow.
The president and the senators are
understood to have been OF one mind
as to the wisdom of discarding the
American valuation plan. as originaiiy
written into the house bill Thus, the
field of discussion was narrowed larg-
ely to the two principal proposals on
which both the committee and the
government tariff experts assigned to
it have been sharply divided.

Asked what the annual consump
ton of fertilizer was. he said it ap
proximated 100000 tons, and the
Muscle Shoals plants could only pro
duce at a maximum 100000 tons.
That amount, he asserted. would
not, in his opinion, affect the exist
ing market.
He previously had told the commit
tee that Ford had declined to guaran
tee fertilizer production over a giver
number of years, and had informed
him in conversations that he would
not manufacture the commodity at a
loss.
Although pressed repeatedly, the
secretary did not express an opinion
as to whether the offer should be &C
cepted or rejected by congress.
Chairman Kahn announced that he
had telegraphed Ford twice request

There are no objections to delay,

problems to be considered would not
be benefited by months of preliminary

The Throne Totters.

A MOTHER pampered pet of the public seems
~ to have gone wrong. Babe Ruth probably
the best known baseball player in the world, is dis
appointing his best friends this Since he
restored to the game he has gone from mess
to mess-each one worse than that which pre-
ceded it.
The sympathy of sport followers generally
with Ruth when he was suspended last fall by

very serious offense. Folks appreciated the home
run champions contention that he should be allowed
to garner as great financial return possible for
his talents 1t difficult for the general public

The incident at Cleveland, Monday, when the

unsportsmanlike act 1t not in keeping with
Ruth's reputation of previous years. He has no
sympathy now because of his second suspension
this year.
Ruth evidently believes he has been treated

The S240 Bonus.

~ all the scrap-bag economics the House
" Appropriations Committee has devised to
date the proposed reduction of the Federal en-
ploye bonus from $40 to SrSo was, perhaps, the
most indefensible.
By their act of restoring the original sum the
House whole showed excellent common sense.
1t was what Washington people expected. When a
little sunlight was let in the arguments of the COM
mittee were found full of holes The House MEM
bers have won the gratitude of the National Capt.
tal at least and this will be reflected in their
home districts.
The bonus never has been considered as an
adjustment of pay to balance living costs. Mem
bers of the committee in serious error when
they assumed this be the The of neces-
sites of life than doubled during the waf
when the bonus became effective. But this extra
money did not double any workers pay. 1t was
passed partial relief measure only-to remain
in effect until fairer method of compensation
could be devised. ,
Members of the committee should have known
that a $40 did not compensate the govern
ment clerk for the increased cost of board, food
and clothing They should know this from their
own experience with prices from the start of the
to the present day.
Cost of living in Washington may have
dropped Statistics tell that it decreases trifle
from month to month. But it is far from
the point where $40 makes up the dhfer-
ence from 1917
That a great many government employees are
underpaid seems unquestionable. But they fall vic
tins the easiest to the ambitions of Congressman
who desire to be known back home guardians
of the public purse.
Money taken from the pay envelopes of Wash
ington workers. however. is not saved in the long
run. 1t results in decreased efficiency certain to
follow poorer living conditions.
The 500 year which it proposed to take
from each worker would not have made great deal
of difference. of course. Thousands of Washington
people would have been obliged to forego some
little luxury which the extra money now brings-but
that would not concern gentlemen who do not worry
over luxures. 1t is certain that members or the
Appropriations Committee have influential con-
stituents employed in the government service. 1t
nothing to them, way another.
1t is not so much the intrinsic value of the $50
that aroused the anger of Washington people. 1t
was the deliberate effort slap them in the face on
the part of the committee. This is year of econ
omy-but why practice all the economies on vote
less. dcfenseless people? Why tax Washington
wor- -ers for the benefit OF voting Congressional
districts with sufficient power to shift the burden
from their own shoulders? That is what a decrease
in the bonus would amount to.

Housing Standardization.

THE progress of American civilization is threat
Il ened seriously from two quarters-transpor-
tation and housing.
Railroad rates in the past few years have risen
dangerously near the point where they absorb the
value of the goods shipped A slight decline has
been noticeable of late but, experts fear, this is
only temporary. Transportation charges threaten
to make living so costly in the United States that
eventually the people will revert to prmi-
tive condition
Even more serious is :he cost of housing. 1t
has risen beyond the possibilities of the average
income. Already thousands of residents in great
American cities have been forced back into the
circumstances of the old Indian cliff jewellers
families piled top OF another in great brick
barracks known apartment houses"
Further increases in the cost of housing would
make the individual home impossible to any except
the very rich.
These two problems must have the unselfish
attention OF the best inteects in the United States

ton, after all, is deicately balanced affair Main

be kept in an exact proportion to average income.
Otherwise the structure will tumble.
How have the Bolshevists ruined Russia-as II
is charged they have? Simply by adopting policies
which increased the cost of transportation above
