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.

Mr. E. P. Lane, Expert Heating Engineer, direct from the "Homer
Pipeless Furnace Factory," will be at this store all week. Con
sult him on your problems of home heating.
SELECT ONE SINGLE PIECE OR A HOLSEFt't,
It would be quite impossible to measure in dollars and
cents the value of the information Mr;. Lane will cheerfully
give you on your individual problem of economical home
heating. The present high cost of fuel with the prospect of
even higher prices demands the most economical method of
heating. It was with this thought that Edwards arranged
for the factory's Heating Engineer to come here in person.

Uentlemen:
Since installing your Homer Pipeless Fur
nace (wnich replaced an American Ideal
Radiator System), we hiive realised about
25 per cent saving In fuel over the steam sys
tem. In fact, we have sold a portion of our
fuel supply for this reason.
We also find that an even temperature is
maintained throughout the office and con
siderably less work is required to fire the
furnace.
The cold spell just passed gave us a splen
did opportunity to test out the merits of your
furnace, and we do not hesitate to recom
mend the same full v. Yours truly.

There's nothing complicated, nothing
mysterious, about "Homer" Pipeless
Ventilator Furnaces.
Installed in any home where there is
a basement no tearing up, no dust or
dirt, no inconvenience, no delay.
Saves fuel, saves labor, saves expense.
' Heats quickly, heats evenly, heats
purely.
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.
Edwards carries the responsibility, and
'don't you ever think for one minute that
his reputation of over 40 years" standing
in Portland would, be allowed to tumble
for the mere selling of a few furnaces.
Edwards has taken every element of
chance out of the Pipeless Method of Heat
ing Your Home. He positively guaran
tees this "Homer" to be scientifically prac
tical, economical and healthful.
One Register, the "Homer" Thermo
Seal Inner Lining and the Two-.
Tunnel Radiator Does All
Note the Thermo-Seal Inner Lining Heavy Galvanized
Iron with asbestos insulator. Without it there would be no
circulation of warm air. It keeps the return air cool until
it reaches the base of the furnace. It. sends all the heat to
the rooms above. 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.
