Harding VIII Explain Success
Of Budget in Grain Belt
Campaign.
BY GEORGE II. HOLMES,
international News Service.

President Harding intends to drive
home with sledge-hammer blows to
voters in the grain belt in the next
few weeks the fact that the United
States Government is paying ven
ture from, q business standpoint
and the only first-class government
in the world that is living within
it's income
The 5000, 600, 900 profit made by
the Government this present fiscal
year, over and above all operating
expenses, viii furnish the. ground
work and the main theme for nu-
merous speeches the Chief Execu-
tive will make on his Western trip,
beginning tomorrow.
This surplus, IL the Republican
political managers have their way,
also will be the chief campaign ar
gument of the Republican party
next year. They will point with
pride" to the record Of economy and
careful financing, and they believe
that this argument will turn more
votes into the Republican column q
year hence than any other single
factor.
The Republican managers believe,
too, that the message of economy
and business In Government" will
have a particularly telling force in
the country through which the
President is to travel-the grain and
stock States, where high taxes and
low prices combined to create the
universal dissatisfaction that was so
marked in the last election.
Consequently, the achievement
will be made much Of in succeeding
weeks-all the way from Washing
ton to Alaska, and from Alaska to
Porto Rico, in the almost innumer-
able speeches that fall to the lot OF
q travelling President.
With the portrayalIof a business
at Washington will
go a promise that taxes are to be
reduced just as soon as Congress
can get around to it. perhaps not in
the next Congress, but certainly the
year following.
Congressman Martin B. Madden
of Illinois, chairman of the all-pow
erful Appropriations Committee of
the House, already Is on record m
favor of an immediate revision Of
the tax schedule, particularly the
income tax rates. He is supported
ny the rank and file of Republican
Congressman, who come up for re-
next year and who believe
that a record of economy should be
turned into political capital asset.

MOTHER AND CHILDREN
KILLED AT CORNELIA

CORNELIA, April Mrs. ]. B.
Jackson and two of her children
were instantly killed here late Sat
urday when an automobile in which
they were riding was hit by a South.
ern railway passenger train at
grade crossing near here. The auto
mobile was completely demolished.
Mrs. Jackson and her three chill.
dren, Charles d., u, Earnest, II,

vile with the older boy driving the
automobile. Ernest, despite the fact
that he was behind the wheel of

the wreckage and only painfully in
jured.
The train was moving slowly and
stopped within fifty feet after the
crash.
Mrs. Jackson was the wife of a
prominent physician of Gainesville.

was of course abandoned and the
Oriental merchandise on reaching
our ports was accredited to the
country in which Il originated In
stead of being, as in pre-war years,
accredited to the mother country
of the respective colonies through
whose hands it passed before reach-
ing US, and this accounts in part for
the increasing percentage Of Cur
imports which we now accredit 10
the Orient.
Still another and equally inn
portant feature of the growth ia
our trade with our neighbors in
the Orient lies in the fact that they
are taking a. much greater per-
centage of their imports from the
United States than formerly, All
of the Oriental countries are i'm
porters of manufactures, except
japan and certain sections OF
India, and they are therefore as
they always have been dependent
for this class of merchandise upon
the great manufacturing countries
of other parts of the globe. Form
erly they took most of their manu-
features from Europe which had
established itself in the Oriental
market for manufactures before
the manufacturers of the United
States became exporters in any
considerable amount. But with
the difficulties of transportation
above referred to, the Oriental i'm
porters of manufactures turned to
the United States and took from
us the manufactures which they
formerly had been buying from
Europe. And this accounts for the
big growth in the percentage which
merchandise destined for Asia
forms of our total exports since
the beginning of the war. The
striking and especially gratifying
feature of this growth, particulars
ly on the export side, is the evi-
dence which it supplies Of the sat-
isfactory quality of the American
manufactures when compared with
those of the longer experienced
manufacturing community of Eu-
rope.
