THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND, JULY 3, 1921 HARDING IS CALLED TO LEAD CONGRESS Taxation and Tariff Changes Not Yet Accomplished. DAWES' AID EFFECTIVE President Holds Aloor From Dic tating to Legislative Bodies, but Seems Forced to-Intervene. BY MARK SULLIVAN. (Copyright by th New-Tork Evening Post. Inc. Publlnhed by Arrangement.) WASHINGTON. E. C. July 2. Prac. tically every well-informed person in Washington now believes that Presi dent Harding will have to take to ward congress the same attitude Roosevelt did. This will be repug nant both to his personal tempera ment and to his theory of govern ment. ( Harding, when he was a senator, felt as strongly as any other repub lican senator did that Wilson's regime was dictatorial and that the presence of congress in the machinery of gov ernment had been minimized to an unfortunate degree. For Harding now to assume the came role of lead ership that Wilson and Roosevelt did will be a wrench to all his past be liefs. But the thing is bound to happen. When It does come, Harding will find it much easier to take control and exercise it than either Roosevelt or Wilson did. Roosevelt and Wilson had to fight for their control and had to struggle constantly to keep it. Harding's control will be given to him without opposition. The strength of the cabinet he chose and the appoint ments he has made in other fields have given the public confidence in his energy and in his wish to do things in a big way. Dawea' Aid to Be Effective. If General Dawes follows out his announced plans of summoning to Washington 20 to 30 of the business loaders of the country to reorganize the government, that will be one more example of the kind of thing that gives the public confidence in th ad ministration, as against congress. If there is dramatized a fight for the reorganization of the government in the interest of economy and. effi ciency between 20 to 30 men who have the confidence of their com munities, and, on the other hand, a congress resisting in order to hold onto old privileges, the public will eide with Harding and Dawes and his volunteer assistants. Dawes Is an energetic person, with an understanding of crowd psychology and a geuius for publicity. He will be of great help to Harding. . The Dawes appointment, coupled to a score of other things that Harding has done, put him in such a position that he will be the winner at the start In any effort that he makes for control of congress. Not only has Harding a good start toward prestige with the public. Further than that there are no strong characters either in the senate or in the lower house to resist Harding's taking command. If there were strong characters in the senate or in the lower house, the situation would not have , arisen. Harding did not want and does not want to take the leadership of congress. Both by word and by action he has disavowed it again and again. The lack of abil ity on the part of congress to get things done of its own initiative will make Harding take hold against his inclination. The record of congress is really pretty bad. It has been in session 11 weeks and the brevity ot Its accom plishments Is deplorable. Nothing il lustrates the situation better than the efTort to achieve peace with Germany. The senate adopted one resolution and the house another. Both aimed at the same object and the only clash was over phraseology. A legislative body which could not solve so simple a matter in 11 weeks ought not to be surprised if It falls low in public respect. President Keeps Hands Off. For 11 weeks, also the lower house and the senate pulled and hauled in effectually as to whether we should spend $400,000,000 or $500,000,000 on the navy. During these two pro longed and futile contentions there is no doubt that at any moment Presi dent Harding could have brought so lution by exerting the pressure of his office. But up to the present he has steadfastly refrained from doing so. The one piece of legislation that Harding has directly, asked this con gress to enact was the bill giving Secretary of the Treasury Mellon power to reorganize our foreign loans. Aside from this specific re quest that Harding made to congress, he did as party leader announce in the beginning that this congress would enact taxation and tariff measures. It is the delay as to these two measures that has stirred up the country and has caused pressure on Harding to take command. As to taxation, it can almost be said that nothing has been done so far. The Benate finance committee held some hearings. Most of those who attended were special classes of business men who wished minute changes In the schedules. The hear ings were dreary and desultory, and in the end they were closed with a sense of futility. On so important a subject as the revision of taxes, al most nothing substantial has been done. There is a group of leaders who believe that in addition to most of our present taxes we shall have to have the sales tax. Most members of the lower house of congress are op posed to the sales tax. The leaders who believe it must come because there Is no other way of raising the money are marking time. The con sequence is that nothing substantial la accomplished one way or the other. As to the tariff, only little more can be said. The ways and means committee has held hearings and In prolonged sessions has written a bill. but the writing of a tariff bill by the ways and means committee is always merely a beginning and in the pres ent year it means even less than usual. Between the bill that the ways and means committee has written and the tariff that ultimately will be a , law there probably will be little re semblance. All of the real tariff making is yet ahead of us. Some of those who have watched congress longest believe it is likely that we shall reach December before the new tariff is made into law. It is this delay, the failure of con- press to develop leaders and its fail- ' ure even to know what it wants that has brought about the Imperative call to Harding to assume leadership. week on the bridge across Grays river for the new South Grays river ' road.

BY WILLIAM BIRD. PARIS. July 2 (Special cable.) "Is the patient out of danger?" ' "No, the doctors are still with him." This bit of humor In one of the Paris, papers this week applies ap propriately to the present state of Europe. Europe still has her doctors at her bedside and if their method of treatment is continued, there is in deed little hope of recovery. Premier Lloyd George made an in effectual attempt this week to doctor the Irish situation. Although every body hoped the three-cornered confer ence would come off, Eamonn de Va lera seems amply justified in his atti tude. Obviously he could not afford, as the undisputed representative of the great Irish majority, to enter a con ference which was certain in advance to place him In th. minority. Proposal Considered Dabloas. Naturally he preferred first of all to deal with the Irish minority in a conference in which he would hold the winning cards. The refusal of the Ulstermen, with English backing. to meet De Valera alone emphasizes therefore the doubtful character of the original Lloyd George proposal. The "doctors" haven't had any bet ter success with the eastern problem. The childish appeals of the powers to King Constantine of Greece, after their haughty refusal to recognize, or heed the result of the last Greek elec tions which restored him to the throne, have insured the continuance of war in the near orient to the ulti mate profit of the bolsheviki cause. "Doctor" Giolitti's recent efforts in elections to drown Italian opinion un der a wave of Fascist! reaction has resulted not only in his discomfiture, but in the paralysis of the parlia mentary government. Meantime military reactionaries In France are working behind the back of Premier Briand seeking to attempt a similar stifling process through the means of an oppressive censorship and star chamber laws, with immense risks to France's internal peace. Berlin Government Target. It is not unnatural in the circum stances that German goose-steppers should be using the present oppor tunity to undermine the liberal Wlrth government in Berlin. In the midst of the imbroglio appeals go out to America for help. This, of course, means financial help. But America may justly ask what has been done with the help already fur nished. Thursday came the announcement that the French Industrial Bank of China had failed. Several hundred millions of francs of French capital was invested in the institution. This bank was started to rival the interna tional consortium, and immediately launched upon a mad career of spec ulation in Chinese produce, as well as Chinese exchange. By an ironical co incidence, its failure occurred on the very eve of the reopening of the great German bank in China. French Prestige Suffers. Not only has French capital, sorely needed at home for reconstruction, been squandered, but French prestige in the far east has suffered. Great Britain, although heavily indebted to the United States, is spending hun dreds of millions monthly on warlike ventures in Egypt and Mesopotamia, destined to protect British capital en gaged there. - Exported capital is thus not only a source of heavy private losses to Eu rope, but also the cause of immense military budgets. Meantime appeals continue to America to furnish capital for do mestic enterprises which local capi talists do not deem profitable enougn. Frankly, the time for optimism about Europe's condition has not yet arrived. KLAMATH HEARING IS SET Fred Williams to Attend Confer ence of Commissioners. SALEM. Or., July 2. (Special.) Fred A. Williams, chairman of the Oregon public service commission, to day received a telegram from the in terstate commerce commission at Washington, D. C, to the effect that a hearing would be held at Klamath Falls July 13 to consider the appli cation for increased rates on -he Weed-Klamath, Falls branch of the Southern Pacific lines. Members of the. California public service commis sion also will be present at the hear ing. It was charged in the application filed by the people of Klamath Falls that the present rates on the Weed Klamath branch of the Southern Pacific lines are excessive, and that the mill operators aid , other ship pers are unable to compete in the eastern markets. CHAMPION IS HARD PUT (Continued From First Page.) American like a tiger. His left crunched against Jack's chin and he clinched. Dempsey began pecking at hi body. Carpentier broke and leaped back, only to spring back again, with a ter rific right-hander that caught Demp sey high on the side of the head. To the amazement of- the crowd Carpentier was forcing the fight. But Dempsey, not to be driven back, lowered his head and charged. His blows were driven home at short range, and at times he shot his clenched fists through small openings into the Frenchman's body. This -was his plan of battle to wear Carpentier down. In the mid dle of the round Carpentier drove a right squarely - against Dempsey's chin. The blow would have knocked out any but a man of iron. Demp sey's knees shook and his face turned gray. He looked sick and dazed. I -ui pwry Makes Recovery. For a moment even the grim determination was wiped from his face. Another such blow and he would have gone down. But even as Carpentier drew back his hand Dempsey recovered and lunged for ward, driving at Carpentier's body so hard that Georges was forced to give ground before the attack. Now came blow on blow, so fast the eye could hardly follow. Carpentier's lefts and rights shot home, and Dempsey clouted grimly in return. Once Georges, who seemed to put every ounce of his strength into one crashing blow when he saw a sure opening, swung ! so furiously at Dempsey's chin that. merely grazing it, he whirled and fell headlong through the ropes. Ertle jumped forward but Demp sey, a sportsman, had already started back to let his opponent come back. Carpentier Blipped off the ropes and started after Dempsey again. Another Attack la Made. "His blue eyes were full of battle. His smooth brow corrugated. You could see him think. Circling, he attacked again, and this time his flashing right fist reached Demp sey's chin and shook htm. Dempsey pushed in, still grim, and forced Georges to retreat. The bell rang. A great fighting bound, but he showed some effect of body punches. The crowd buzzed with excitement during the minute of rest. There was no doubt about it Carpentier wa as advertised. This was to be no clncli for the champion.- Carpentier came out for the second to ttack again. His face was a mask of concentration, through which glimmered now and then a slight cynical smile. He studied Dempsey. Blows were exchanged with little advantage. It went along to the middle of the round, and, as if he had been saving himself for a supreme effort, he leaped in and drove a crashing right hander to Dempsey's Jaw. Before Dempsey could recover, Car pentier had struck again and again and still again, all right-hand blows, with furious speed and strength be hind them. - Dempsey Reel Back. Dempsey reeled back, his knees bent and his legs shook. He was staggering- He wavered to one side a little before he could turn to meet his man, and again Carpentier clout ed him on the chin. Dempsey made a few quick steps, and, like a bluff-bowed ship beating off shore against a heavy sea, went lurching ahead. He waa dazed, but still grimmer, more doggedly determined for the beating that came to him. In another moment there was no doubt that Jack Dempsey was a champion, no doubt that he could take punishment and fight, for Car pentier had hit him harder than any man ever hit him before and he was weathering it. Dempsey's Blow Mild. Carpentier tried another sally and Jack met him, swinging blow for blow. For once Dempsey was wild. His fists hit nothing but the empty air as the Frenchman changed his plan for a moment and slipped deftly out of danger. The second was Carpentier's round but it was still anybody's fight. Still as Dempsey went to his corner, his seconds worked on him furiously. and Jack Kearns. his veneer of calm ness gone, put a trembling hand on the ropes and leaned over to give hurried instructions. Carpentier in his corner looked anxiously across the ring. He had a red lump under his left eye and his nose was slightly cut. Dempsey was still uiimarked. Start Is Like Whirlwind. The third started like another whirl wind. Dempsey went straight across the ring, and Carpentier slipped deftly away and ducked under a blow that might have dropped him. He was studying Dempsey again, watching keenly for an opening intent on hold ing his advantage and taking less risk of being stopped by Dempsey's slashing blows. Dempsey held his hands high just under his chin as if to guard against the right hand blows that had dazed him before. He .was as strong as ever. Car pentier missed two or three times and as they came Int close quarters he suddenly shifted Tiis attack and drove two terrific right-hand upper cuts beneath Dempsey's high guard, landing fairly on his chin. His cold blue fighting eyes were alert, his lips drawn In a slight smile as he watched Dempsey's face to see how much he was hurt. Apparently he felt, himself master of the situation, but he was making no mistakes. The championship was within reach of his hand. There was fast, hard fighting, Dempsey pressing in, driving spiteful punches to the Frenchman's body ' whenever they came to grips. Carpentier Best Boxer.. Carpentier outboxad him. moved swiftly, leaped in high on his toes to attack, leaped away to safety, but Carpentier was weakening. His speed came in spasmodic spurts, amazing speed and power, but not continuous like Dempsey's attack., Just before the end of the round the champion drove a terrible right hand blow into Carpentier's body. Carpentier clung hard in a clinch. He was weak, but it was still any body's fight when the bell rang. And in the fourth Dempsey drew on his reservoir of strength and pressed Carpentier hard. The French boy was shifty, foxy, alert. He leaped into attack and his quick blows struck home, but they seemed to lack the crushing force of the round be fore. The body hammering was bringing him down. Caipentier hit Dempsey ' on the chin, left and right, and Dempsey retaliated with a. crushing body blow fairly in the pit. Before Car nentier could move a short left hook struck him on the chin and he went down heavily on his face. The crowd leaped up. A roar went from the ringside to the" fluttering American and French flags in me distance. Dempsey nrm to Corner. Dempsey walked back to his cor ner. Carpentier pulled his legs up a little and lay there motionless. Ertle tolled off the seconds up to nine and at' the sound the game Frenchman leaped from flat on his stomach to his feet, whirled and waited for Dempsey to come to him. Carpentier was in sad condition then. He was dazed and weak, but he slipped aside a little to evade Demp sey's first rush and faced his man with gleaming eyes and a smile on his lips. Dempsey closed deliberately. here waa a little whirling scrim mage and out of it shot Carpentier in a headlong plunge, dropped by Demp sey's short right-hand blow to the chin. Dempsey walked away and the French boy rolled to his Bide, lifted his leg and tried with all his might to come up again. His eyes were shut and his forehead creased with effort. He raised a little as the count went on, but fell back helpless when Ertle reached ten. Deacnmpa Leaps Into Ring. Then and only then Descamps leaped into the ring, his face twisted as with pain, and lifted the fallen champion of Europe from the ground. Other willing hands seized him and dragged him to his corner. . Dempsey had turned to wave to Kearns that it was all over. Now he turned again and, walking swiftly to Carpentier's cor ner, seized the still-dazed Frenchman by the hand. "Too bad, Georges," said Dempsey. "You gave me a great fight." Carpentier looked up and smiled. Some sportsman, that French boy, and some sportsman Jack. Before Demp sey left the ring Referee Ertle re moved his gloves, examined them, in spected his bandages again and found them all right. It was rumored later Carpentier broke hi wrist 4n the sec ond round, but if he did he surely hit some wonderful blows with it afterward.
