WEEKS At ISSUE
WITH PRESIDENT
ON USE Of TAXES
Harding'S Salt Lake Speech
DiSpIeaSeS War Secretary,
Claims Budget Figures
Were Ignored

WASHINGTON. July 14.-A DELE
cate and apparently strained situaa
ton in President Harding's cabinet
came to light tonight, when it was
learned authoritatively that Secre.
tary of War Weeks had taken d.
rect issue with the president on the
latter's statement in the Salt Lake
City and Idaho speeches that IS per
cent of taxes are used for payment
of war costs.
The secretary of war is said 70
have regarded Mr.. Harding's state
ment as a reputation of the stand
of the war department on this ques-
ton. The presidents speech comes
only a short time after Weeks de-
nunciation of pacifist organizations
circulating a pamphlet containing
what apparently were the same sta.
tistics quoted by Mr. Harding.
Wires President
Weeks is understood to have sent
the president a telegram pointing
out that Mr.. Harding's statement
was not borne out by the budget
figures. War department officials
do not believe that Weeks will re.
sign, but those who know him say
that he would take this step if hi
felt his policies were not being up.
held by the president.
The Army and Navy Journal,
recognized service organ, in its is,
sue today, bitterly : attacks Pres.
dent Harding on his Salt Lake City
and Idaho speeches, saying:
president Harding, in his speech
es in Idaho," the leading editorial
of the publication states, mot only
made a contribution to the pacifiS:
opaganda, but repudiated the sec,
rotary of war. This is a rather
strong statement, but it is justified
if the president has been quote
correctly in the dispatches. In thu
quot&t on referred to, President
Hard-ns, said:
War Costs
"'Stop and think, that SIS cent?
OuL VI every uOlldT you DtlV IN taxes
goes to the payment Of war costs,
and is cents to peaceful develop,
ment of our great country
This sounds like an extract from
the bulletin of one of the organiza,
tons which Secretary Weeks dc
clared in a statement, Are preach,
ing revolution and the establish
ment of a conmunistic government
and also those who seem to believl
that an army and navy are unneces,
sary.'"
AT the same time, the National
Council for Prevention of War toda'
issued a bulletin quoting pres
dispatch to a New York newspa
per, stating:
"Some members of President
Harding's party are wondering JUS

STATE ASSEMBLY,
MEMBERSHIP CUT
PROPOSED IN BILL

A state senator will have as much
dignity as a member of congress and
representatives will be as rare and
as important as senators are at
present. if the legislature passes his
bill to limit the membership of the
general assembly, according to Rep
resentative Hal WimbzerIy, of
Laurens county
There are too many legislators
turned loose on the general public
now" Mr.. Wimberly declared.
Twelve senators and forty-eight
representatives could do just as
much work as we do, and they would
be so scarce they would attrace more
attention. A smaller membership
would save the state thousands of
dollars annually"
Mr.. Wimberly's bill, which has
been referred to the constitutional
amendments committee, provides for
one state senator from each con-
gressional district, and forty-eight
members of the house of representa-.
tives.
Under Mr.. Wimberly's apportion-
ment plan, one representative would
be given to each of the eight larger
coIntiss-Fulton, DeKalb, Chatham
Richmond, Bib, Floyd, Muscogee
and Laurens. One representative
would then be given to every four
counties in other portions of the
state.

Gary, head of the United States
Steel corporation, stated today that
abolition of the 12-hour day in the

commence actively taking steps to
reduce the number of 12-hour work
ers within the next six weeks"
He declined to reveal the machin-
cry already set in motion to abolish
the 12hour day nor would he esti-
mate the number of workers who
would be affected within the six
weeks period.
Later confirming the statement
made through his secretary, Mr..
Gary said:
"Plans are now being developed.
It will require considerable length

mean?' 1t would mean that I was
going to start around the world next
week. The actual trip would take
a much longer time
Labor leaders have evidenced in
tense interest as to when the steel
industry would begin making good
its promise to the president. The
most positive assertion previously
made by Mr.. Gary was that steps
toward wiping out the 12-hour shift
would be taken soon, when increas-
ing labor supplies were obtained
from the negroes of the south, Next
