EARLY’ PROGRAM IS ANNOUNCED, Here is how the program lines up. In advance of Harding’s message, which, it is expected, will limit the legislative agenda to the most important domestic subjects, plus ratification of the Colombian treaty. Enactment of a temporary or "emergency" tariff, for riie benefit of American agricultural interests. Passage of an anti dumping bill to protect American manufacturing interests Revision of the tax laws, with particular attention to the so-called war taxes, including elimination. If possible, of the excess profit tax, and substitution for It of one or more forms of taxation; revision of the Income tax schedules. LEGISLATION FOR EX-SOLDIERS. -v Enactment of n new permanent tariff in place of the Underwood-Slmraons law, with schedule* ns high or higher than those of the Payne Aldrich end Dlngley laws. Enactment of a soldier bonus law, providing for a number of kinds of adjusted compensation to ex-service men, Including cash payments, insurance, land grants, home owneershlp, etc. This will require enactment of revenue legislation tc provide the money, although the plau is to defer operation of the law for some time. Passage of laws reorganizing certain Government activities, among which may be tbo combination of various departments and reduction of pe’aounel. ANTI-PROFITEERING LAWS POSSIBLE. Consideration of the transportation problem, with probable amendment of the transportation act of 1920, These are the outstanding features of the program, though Harding may decide to include a number of others, among them enactment of anti-profiteer-ing inws to replace those sections de- | dared unconstitutional this spring by the ! Supreme Court; measures dt sired by the farmers n enable them to obtain credit | more easily, etc. W bile the House Is putting In motion the machinery necessary to pass the emergency tariff and anti dumping bills, the Senate is to consider the Colombian treaty, tinder an agreement to vote on the eighth day after the session begins. There may be a lively tilt over this pact, particularly over efforts of Senator Lodge to have it considered lu secret. MANY NOMINATIONS COMING I P. The Senate also will have a large number of nominations to consider, among them that of former Representative John J. Each of Wisconsin, who failed of confirmation as a member of the interstate commerce commission at the extra session of the Senate tn March. The r.hipping board and other important posts are also to be filled. Indicating their intention of putting the Harding program through as quickly as possible, Senate leaders have determined to impose the cloture rule, limiting debate, witlt respect to the emergency tariff bill. This may cause a long wrangle, with tlie Democrats stoutly opposing It. Development of Harding’s foreign policy may engage the Senate's attention before the session ends, though the present desire is to dispose first of domestic questions. The question of a separate peace with Germany, through adoption of the Knox resolution or some substitute repealing the declaration of war, will come to the front soon after the session convenes, no matter what Harding’s position on the question Is. There is strong sentiment for adoption of such a resolution. and its discussion will doubtless revive in a measure at least the League of Nations debate.

REVIVE HOPES OF WOMAN’S CLUB Works Board Favors Use of Market Fees for Repairs. A glimmer of hope that tlie several-years-old demand of the Woman’s Department Club that fees paid by standholders in tlie city market go into a special fund for the maintenance and repair of the market building and equipment may be heeded by city officials came today when City Councilman Jacob P. Brown came before the board of public works and declared he is in favor of legislation to make this possible. The board members agreed with him and It is understood that members of the board of safety have indicated they feel the same way. There are legal bars in the way of tlie creation of such a fund at present, city officials contend. All of the fees, which amount to more than $30,000 per year, go into the city general fund under the existing arrangement. The market house must be kept up by an annual appropriation. There is pending before the eity council an ordinance authorizing the board of safety to issue $125,000 worth of bonds with which to put the market in what tiie board believes will be good condition. The anti-administration members of the council blocked passage of this measure a week ago. it can be called out for a vote again, however, since It was not stricken from the files. Mr. Brown said that he believed if some way could be found to let the market fees pay out the bonds and lnte"est that the out!-administration cottncilmen would vote for the passage of the bond issue ordinance, since their ciii-f ol jeetton to it has been that they do not think the people should be compelled to directly meet any more bond issues at the present time.

Indiana coal operators, miners, union officials and companies indicted for alleged violation of tlie Sherman anti trust laws by the Federal grand Jury will not have to face Judge Albert B. Anderson on arraignment day, May 3. Instead they will be arraigned before Judge Ferdinand A. Geiger of Milwaukee, who comes to Indinanapolis April 25 to sit for Judge Anderson for about two weeks. The matter of arraignment is wholly a formal proceeding and it is believed that when the cases finally come to trial Judge Anderson will be on the bench. Operators outside Indiana undoubtedly will fight removal proceedings to the last ditch. The National Coal Association now has a case pending at Washington which will be tried tomorrow by which it is sought to have an injunction issued restraining United States officials from making any attempt to remove the association or its representatives to Indianapolis for trial. L. Ert Slack, special assistant to the attorney general, Is now in Washington and probably will take part in the argument. Last week a proceeding similar in character to the suit at Washington was filed in the Federal Court at Pittsburgn by Pennsylvania coal companies named in the indictments. There is also a case pending at Toledo, brought by George M. .Tones, a prominent Ohio operator. This ease is set for argument on Saturday, but it is believed that It will be continued. While Judge Geiger Is on the bench, in place of Judge Anderson all criminal cases in which the defendants are in Jail will be disposed of. However, ti is not believed that any cases will be taken up where pleas of not guilty have been entered by defendants out on bond. Judge Geiger also will take up a number of civil cases which now are pending.
