Senate Putting
Final Touches on
Tariff Measure
Increased Duties on Dyes Re
affirmed by Vote Of 80
TO 3l-Vote on Bill
Expected Today.

Washington, Aug. ls.-The senate
began putting the final touches on
its draft OF the administration tariff
bill. Its work was incomplete when
II recessed, but the measure will be
passed Saturday and then will 90 to
conference for final rewriting.
During the long day and night
hours many efforts were made TO
change sections OF the bill, but only
a few OF them met with success. An
outstanding feature was a renewal OF
the dye fight and tie rcaffirmation
by the senate Of its action of Thurs
day night in increasing the duties on
coal tar dyes and synthetic chemicals
and explosives and basing them on
American instead OF foreign valua-
ton. The vote TO reaffifm was 80
TO 81.
When this section was reached,
Senator Moses, republican, New
Hampshire, who had reserved a sep
aratc vote on it, announced that in
view of the overwhelming vote, So
to %, by which the senate had first
approved the increased duties, he
would not press his motion for a re-
consideration. Immediately Senator
Smoot Of Utah, ranking republican
on the finance committee, was on his
feet, pleading that the senate rescind
its action.
This is an EMBARGO a thousand
times over and worse than an en-
bargo," said he. Dyes and coal tar
chemicals not made in this country
VIII have TO pay rate of duty so
high that il is crime. No human
being can defend these rates before
the American people"
On the roll cali nine republicans
voted against the increases and four
democrats supported them.
The republican agricultural tariff
bios finally won its fight to require
soap manufacturers to pay duty on
vegetable oils imported for use in
manufacturing soap. Under the bill
as reported to the senate, there was
provision that such oils imported for
noncdible purposes would come in
duty free, but, on motion OF Senator
Gooding of Idaho, chairman of the
bloc, the senate struck out this pro-
visioA 81 to rs. Chairman McCum-
Der and other members of the finance
committee opposed the motion, but
i received considerable support from
the democratic as well as the repub-
|ican side.

dent Harding was told today by
Senator Watson, republican, In

walked out July ] or later be ac-

Cabinet Divided

Business Interests Support
Governor Harding-Eu.

Agricultural Bloc.
BY GEORGE y. AUTHIER.
Washington Correspondent Omaha bee.

Washington. Aug. l8.-presiden
Hardings official family is hopelessl,
divided over the appointment Of I
successor to w. p. G. Harding, gov
ernor OF the federal reserve board,
The situation has become acute
with the result that the term OF Gov
ernor Harding has been allowed tc
expire without naming successor
and without intimation 10 Governor
Harding whethsr he is TO be reap.
pointed.
The business interests OF the coun.
try are generally recommending the
reappointment OF Governor Harding
while the farm bloc members OF the
party, with whom the president de-
sires to stand well, are reacting IA.
vorably 10 the attacks made in the
senate upon Governor Harding by
Senator HefIlin OF Alabama and ia.
vor the appointment OF Eugene
Meyer, head OF the War Finance cor
poration, as governor OF the board,
while J. X. Howard OF Iowa, presi-
dent OF the farm bureau federation,
is the leading choice OF the farm
bloc group for the "dirt farmer va
cancy on the board recently created
by congress.
Harding Is Democrat.
The business and banking support
for Governor Harding is reinforced
by republican political leaders who
point out the reappointment OF Gov
ernor Harding would furnish the
president with an excellent oppor-
tunity TO demonstrate that politics
has no place in the appointment OF
members OF the board.
Governor Harding is a southern
democrat and resident of Alabama.
His friends charge that the attacks
made upon him by Senator Hefdin
are due to the fact that Governor
Harding refused to support the Ala
baman when he was candidate for
the senate.
The appointment OF Eugene Meyer,
urged by many western republicans
in recognition OF the work accom-
plished by him in extending the aid
Of the corporation to the farming and
livestock interests of the country, is
regarded as fruitless because of the
fact that the law does not allow the
appointment OF two members OF the
board from one state. Edmund
-Platt is already a member OF the
board from New York, which is the
residence also Of Mr.. Meyer.
This feature OF the situation has
given rise to the rumor, which lacks
any official corroboration, that D, R.
Crissinger, comptroller of the cur
rency, one Of President Harding's
fellow townsmen, might be made
member of the board to succeed
Governor Harding, Mr.. Meyer made
comptroller of the currency, and
part of the story is that the presi-
dent will not appoint ]. r. Howard
as the dirt farmer" member OF the
board, but will recognize the south
in the geographical distribution of
the places. by selecting a Mr.. Hous-
ton, Missouri farmer, for the
place.
The appointment of Missouri
"dirt farmer" is said to meet the
approval of the Missouri republican
leaders who see in it chance to
bolster up their forces in opposing
the election of Senator James A.
Reed.
Still another part of this story, as
repeated in Washington, is that
President Harding will then name
Senator McCumber to head the War
Finance corporation.
