PRESIDENT is OPPOSED
TO ANY TAX INCREASES

Observation-Disclosures Harding is
unalterably opposed to the enactment
of the special taxes suggested to
finance the soldier bonus or to the re-
turn to taxes which have been re-
pealed, it was stated officially Tues
day at the White House.
1t also was indicated that the execu-
tive was very much in doubt if it would
be possible to raise the required sum
to finance the cash feature of the
bonus under an issue of bonds without
a%ppreciably advancing interest rates
and destroying the financial tranquil
ity which Is sought.
The president, 1t was said, was dis
posed to be favorable to thu bonus, but
his attitude had to be balanced in
finding sane and sensible conditions
for the fulfillment of promises made
on one hand without disturbing the de-
sired return TO financial stability.
1t was stated that Mr.. H%arding's at
titude OH the bonus question would be
made clear to congress in a commune
cation expected to be sent to the SEN
ate and house subcommittee dealing
with the bonus subject.

Chairman Fordney Declares Lower

Such Plan Is Submitted; Fa-
vors American Value

Washington.-A row between the
house and senate over American valu-
alton was forecast Saturday after 1t be-
came known that Republican members
of the senate finance COMMITTEE. in re-
writing the so-called permanent tariff
bill had agreed tentatively to contin-
uing the present principle of basing
duties on foreign market value.
Chairman Fordney of the house
ways and means committee, declared
III this kind of tariff measure was
passed by the senate, the house would
write a new bill with an American val
nation clause and "let the senate try
again" If this should happen. it was
said there would be little prospect Of
a tariff bill at this session unless
congress renamed on the job through
out most of the congressional election
campaign. s
Declaring the house ways and
means committee had written Il bill on
the American valuation plan only af-
ter full agreement with all of the Re-
publican members of the senate com
mittee except Senator LaFollette, Of
Wisconsin, Representative Fordney
said the abandonment of this princi-
pie by the senate committee majority
was "a thing the gentlemen of the
ways and means committee would not
have lone without consulting the fl
nance committee"
IF they send the bill over here
based on foreign valuation" he added,
they may expect hat 1t will be sent
to the ways committee, which will send
back to the senate a bill also based on
American valuation.
The valuation plan, as framed in the
house bill. was abandoned some time
ago by majority members of the sen
ate committee, who have been consid-
ering two plans, based largely on the
recommendations of President Harding
in his annual message to congress last
December. The executive then said
regarding American valuation that
there could not be ignored the danger
of such valuation making American
tariffs prohibitive. In the light of the
speakers position. 1t was suggested
that If the house and senate disagreed
on the valuation question the matter
might be referred to the executive in
an effort to bring about an agreement
before such an impasse as that sug-
gested by Mr.. Fordney would be
brought about.
The senate committee majority be

valorem rates in the Fordney bill on
the basis of foreign valuation.

Want To Locate Colored
Movie Studio In Bogalusa

Bogalusa may secure a moving pic

now giving the matter his considera-
ton.
Messrs. Larson and Turner, former
producers at Los Angeles, were in
BogaIusa last week going over the
situation and were enthusiastic over
Bogalusa as an ideal location. They
state that of the 600 movie theaters
in the United States which cater ex-
clusively to negroes, find it is impos-
sible to get enough pictures of col
ored actors and actresses and that the
field has great opportunities.
Messrs. Larson and Turner say
that if they located here they would
give employment to between two hum
dred and four hundred negroes and
about twenty white people. The
studio would likely be located in the
colored ball park.
