Competition in Reluctance

Youngsters Doubtful. TAX RATTWILL WIN BY M RK SIMIVAS , WASHINGTON, D. C, March 10. The Republican leaders are in a tug-of-war as to which to' take up first, the tariff or the revision of taxes. On this question there have been conferences between President Harding and some twenty of the Repbulican leaders. The conferences have ended without decision. It is a disagreeable thing to decide, because each course promises disappointment at the end. It is a competition in reluctance. A few of the Republican leaders, who regard protection as an unfailing guarantee of national prosperity, want to jump into that immediately. The high priest of these is Fordney ot Michigan. Fordney and these other old leaders remember the McKinlev tariff of a generation ago, and think that what protection did then protection will do now. They think protection Is a prosperity miracle maker at all times' and under all conditions. Youngsters Differ. There is a group of younger leaders, however, who believe that there is a wide difference between the conditions of the nineties and the conditions of today. They are far less certain that the mere device of high protection will now accomplish the things it seemed to accomplish in the time. of McKinley and of Dingiey. These younger leaders are by no means unfriendly to the protective tariff principle. On the contrary, they are emphatically in favor of it, but they have grave doubts whether protection alone will revive prosperity, and they don't want to be in the position of reviving the tariff without doing anything else, of leading the country to expect prosperity from that revision and then running the risk of the punishment to the party that would follow disappointment to the country. Want Taxes First What these younger leaders want is I to take up the revision of the taxes flrst. They believe that the corporr.tions and firms engaged in productive business cannot make their plans Intelligently until they know what taxes they must pay, and they want to set this uncertain factor out of the way first. Business men generally are behind this younger school of Republican leaders. One need not to be a seer to foresee ihat in the outcome this struggle vA be won by thoee who want to take up tax revision first. The mere fact of time will decide it if nothing else f hould, everybody with any experience ' knows that the writing of a tariff will j consume a minimum of six months. Anyone who wants to satisfy himself n this can look up the history of the tariffs of McKinley, of Dingiey, of Payne, and of Underwood. Work is Slow. The house, which works much more compactly, can write a tariff in a coml i ra t i vt v Rlirtrt time tin nn tariff bill can en into the senatP and rmno I out under six months. Senators must !

I know thi? is contrary to the Republican campaign promises to reduce taxation, but everv well-informed Re publican leader knows now. and possi - bly some of them know it during the campaign, that this is a promise that cannot be wholly kent. As one of them said Ihe other day. "We have promised 1o solve the insoluble." It is true, the excess-profits tax will be reduced in rate, or possibly wippd out altogether, but the excess-profits tax has already ceased to be a revenue producer. To the degree that the excess-profits taxes havp been reduced by the disappearance of profits. And to th de gree that they may be reduced by any j change made in the rate. To that

mme degree must the amount of revenue derived from the income taxes he increased. Rate to Be Same. The rate of taxation on individual incomes will be tha same next yar as fiis year. There might be slight reductions in the rate on very lars;e inomes. In a rough way, the Republican leaders draw -a line on incomes of about $S0.000 a year. They say that on incomes below that amount the rate of taxation cannot be reduced. On incomes above that amount the rate may be reduced, not, of course, for the purpose of making it easier on the rich, but rather to induce the rich to quit putting their funds into taxfree municipal bonds. The amount of money the government must pay out is a stubborn fact and must be met. To a certain extent, through ihe use of perfectly lfgltimate devices the amount of the governments immediate outlay can be reduced. Appropriations can be pared, but all that can be done In that respect. (Continued on Page Nine)

General Wood, leaving White House with Secretary of War Weeks, to depart for Philippines. That President Harding means to give the request of the Philippine islands for independence his immediate attention and consideration is indicated by the fact that he has asked Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood to go to the islands, study conditions there and report his findings. General Wood is familiar with the history, traditions and native tendencies of the islands, having served there.

Brennan of Kansas City, general counsel for the packers and employes said today. The injunction proposal was under consideration most of the morning at the conference of workers' delegates here.

A referendum strike vote will be taken Monday if a satisfactory answer to the conference telegram to President Harding is not forthcoming by that date according to union officials. The part allied unions working for the packers may play if a walkout is decided upon will be tentatively outlined today. Dennis . Lane, secretary of the meat cutters union, dispatched a telegram last night to Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, asking him to call a meeting of these allied unions in Chicago, early next week Redmond S. Drennan, general counsel for the butched workmen, was expected here today. He has been in Washington for several days conferr ing with Secretary of Labor James J.

March 10. A reprimand by Samuel Gompers, president of the A arian TP a9 ara t inn rt T .a V)fT" tcsT what he termed support of the Russian Roviet government bv the Detroit federation of labor, was followed by a vote last night that a representative of the local federation be sent to Moscow to attend a labor congress fos-. tered by the soviet government and scheduled to open on May 1. President William Bailey was authorized to appoint the delegate. In his letter to the Detroit federation, Mr. Gompers charged members with being "servants of the soviet government," and recommended that they occupy themselves "with organizing unorganized workers instead of spreading the doctrines of Lenine and Trotzky." The criticism was the outgrowth of a request by Frank X. Martel, business representative of the Detroit organization that the executive board of the ! American federation or laDor use its influence for removal of trade restrictions against Russia. Such a request, Mr. Gompers declared had come to him from no other labor unions than those in or near Detroit. A committee was named to frame a reply to Mr. Gompers' letter. Why Richmond is the Best Place in Which to Live Krh amy Palladium reporter Till Interview peruana at random (o find out why thejr like to live ere. The regularity with which the streets of Richmond are laid out and the system of naming them, appeals strongly to a visitor here. "I rejoice when I visit a city," she said, "in which the streets follow a north and south, and east and west direction, and are named numerically and alphabetically. "One need not worry about finding your way about the city. Given the house number and the street, and a stranger can easily find any place he is looking for. No one will get lost in Richmond, or go many blocks out of the way to find a place. "How much better than a cumbersome system ot naming streets after cities, men. rivers and mountains. One must have a cap. -find a street in cities where other systems are used. "The idea of sinking the name of the city in the cement walks at street intersections also is -an advantage to a stranger. - One need only watch for the designations to know where" one is."
