J THE SUNDAY OKEGOMAX, ' rOKTXAND, AUGUST 1. 1920 i: i! if - n r. i$ - ' it 1 1 ' t t ! t i CLASS SOLIDITY IS PLEA OP Harding Theme Is Taken for First Front Porch Speech. TAX REVISION IS URGED Excess Profits Should Be Modified to Accord AVith. Peace Xeeds, Says Nominee. to inveigh against one section or an other, as selfish interests may sug gest, but the broad national welfare contemplates no east and no west, no north and no south. Duty Has N'e Geograpfcr. "I rejoice to recall that when the grreat world war summoned our sons to duty and to death, perhaps, there was no question about geography. "By cultivating the spirit of friendliness, by a recognition of in terdependence, the problems of life are made much easier for all. There is a growing tendency to look to gov ernment for all remedies, forgetting there are natural laws that will oper ate to correct evils, if given a fair chance. Oftentimes well-meaning laws defeat the very object they are designed to accomplish. "Our country holds out opportunity to all but upon the supreme condi tion that those who would avail them selves of that opportunity shall be enti""- worthy and know and accept fully ine tpirit of American institutions." MARION", O., July 31. Senator Har ding chose for the theme of his first front porch speech today a plea for solidarity of purpose and mutual good understanding among all classes and geographical sections. Or.lv a spirit of "commingling friendships," he said, could produce the full realization of mutual interde pendence necessary to attain the na tion's highest destinies. He pleaded east, west, north and south and the jealousies of ..lass and selfish interest be forgotten in peace as in war. The nominee declared the excess profits tax scncdule should be modi find to accord with peace requirements and that lie would not hesitate to ask congress for prompt action. He added, however, that he was "not yet pre paied to sujgci.t an equitable substi tute." Democrat In Crowd. The speech was delivered to a dele gation from Manstied, o.. which came up in marching order and serenaded the candidate with four bands. In the crowd wero many known person ally to the candidate and they cheered him as ne held up their conception or a neigh borlinets as a model tor the nation. In a short address of greeting, E. B. Caprlier of Mansfield told Senator Harding that many democrats were in tr.e delegation. After the nominee's response he came down the steps of the porch with Mrs. Harding, who had stood behind him during the fcpeech, mid tliey shook hands for a half hour. "We ought to make wealth bear its full share of taxation." said Senator Harding in his address, "and we sver will. Having this thougfrL in mind and also thinking of the excessive cost of living, I doubt if the excess profits tax in war precisely accom plishes the end we seek in peace. . . . I would gladly recommend a change, but I am not yet prepared to suggest an equitable substitute, though I should have no hesitancy In asking congress to seek the earliest possible solution." ISatlonnllnm la Upheld. The league of nations he did not re fer to directly, but'he declared the "nation's highest duty is to cling to the fundamentals on which we bullded to world astonishment and hold fast to the nationality which inspired our onward march." "It is with a keen sense of delight that I welcome your visit today," said Senator Hardirg. "We need to cultivate friendliness and nelghborllness. I sometimes think in this busy, workaday world we are neglecting those little acts of nelgh borllness that make life sweet and worth while. "I feel myself almost a part of Richland county. Our people, early in the last century, settled in a sec tion that was bounded by Richland and Crawford counties, and my earli est recollections are of grists taken to Lexington for grinding. I recall distinctly the stories of my great grandmother, who related to me how she had often gone with one bag of wheat on horseback while the men were busy in the fields, and the cries of the wolves were a frequent ac companiment to tho wearied home ward Journey. That was In the days when heroes were without fame's ac claim, when a sturdy manhood nnd womanhood were battling with the wilderness. Clan Distinction Opposed. "The especial thought in my mind today Is the interdependence and the mutuality of interest of all our peo ple. The Pilgrim fathers laid their otcrnal foundations of new world lib erty in grim necessity, and the same spirit, the same concord, the same mutuality followed every pioneering step in the development of the re public "The tendency to cjass conscious ness is a product of developing for tunes, and is both a reflex of achievement and a menace to main tained progress. We must caution against class distinction and class conflict at every step. "I can recall 40-cent wheat, flayed from the fields of Richland and Mor row. Tlat was before industry de veloped the home consumer; that was . before railways and improved high ways opened the way to markets. That was when farming was a fight for subsistence, instead of the pres ent day pursuit of attainment. Statement la Misquoted. "I trust no one will misquote me as saying I believe in 40-cent wheat, be cause I have indulged my memory. (Sometimes we are very unfair in han dling the utterances of public men. I remember when the senate was dis cussing the war-time guarantee on wheat, when we felt we ought to give the American farmer that assurance which would encourage a seeding to guard against war famine, a western aenator was arguing that wheat could not be raised for less than $2.50 a bushel. I interrupted him to say that I well recalled that Ohio farmers in pre-war days had rejoiced to get a dollar for their wheat. I was speak ing of normal days prior to the war. You will bear me witness that I fcpoke fairly and correctly. Yet there are those today who seek to convey that I said a dollar a bushel is enough for wheat today. "Pardon the diversion. I am recall ing the old-time low-level prices, to recall at the same time the people's inability to buy and to remind you that mounting farm prices, mounting wages, mounting expenditures all are inseparably linked, and a grim mutuality will ultimately assert it seir, no matter wnat we do. Taxation Becomes Burden. "ThTre is no living today or tomor row according to the standards of yesterday. . Every normal being is looking forward. Only a little while ago our grievances about taxes were wholly local, because a half century of republican control of the federal government held us free from direct burdens. But the changed policy, the democratic drift to freedom of trade which is international rather the.T na tional, and mounting cost of govern ment and of finally war burdens turned federal taxation Into a colossal burden. "No one seriously complained while tho national crisis bung over us, but we must work a readjustment for stabilized and prosperous peace. "It is good that our producing in terests are diversified. In that lies our great strength as a nation. The manufacturing centers and the food producing areas complement and sup plement each other. There Is not and there must be no conflict between them. There is a disposition of some RATE DECISION EXPECTED 33 PER CEXT RISE OX FREIGHT LOOKED FOR; Increase Asked by Railroads In Practically All Branches of Service. WASHINGTON. July 31. Decision is expected to be handed down early next week by the interstate commerce commission on the application of the railroads for an increase in freight rates of approximately 37 per cent and 20 per cent in passenger fares. The decision is understood to have been sent to the printer today, but it is not thought that it will be ready for distribution before Monday. Increases, it is believed by railroad and shipping experts, will approxi mate 3w per cent on freight and about y& cent a mile on passenger fares. The original requests, filed soon after enactment of the transportation act, which provides that the railroads shall receive a 6 per cent return on their properties, were for increases in freight rates averaging 28 per cent. Later, however, to meet added ex penses created by the railroad labor board's award, adding $600,000,000 a year to their payrolls, the roads asked for a further increase of 9 per cent in frejght rates, a 20 per cent rise in passenger tariffs, a surcharge of 20 per cent on Pullman car transporta tion, a 20 per cent advance on ex cess baggage charges and a new rate on milk shipments equal to the freight rates granted.

Here's the Whole Heating Problem in a Nutshell This Homer Pipeless Furnace hai been approved by Edwards and must give sat isfaction under any and all conditions.

The Thermo-Seal is a distinct Homer feature. Outer and inner casings of the Homer are adjustable to any depth basement of six feet or more. They make airtight connections between the furnace and the register. Made of heavy galvanized iron. Note the large air spaces which insure the proper ratio of warm and return air passing through the Homer. They are designed to allow all the air td pass through the furnace about every 25 minutes, giving a steady flow of warm air. 9x12 AXMINSTER RUGS At Edwards 59, $67' 72 1.1 KT. A MH.HTY ARMY.
