HARDING URGES LOWER-TAXES
AND LOWER PRICES
Washington, April. 12 That • ti
gress should immediately adopt resulu
and enact legislation aimed a, low. r
standing i-commendations mad'- "y
President Harding in his first messag.
to Congress today. The message was
und was eh •fly concerned with do.nu s.
tic proldems. "In recommending ’lie
adoption of a fieace resolution w th
without further delay, the president
lies. lie also .made plain his belief
that the league of Nations is dead.
"The peace resolution.'' Harding ex
plained, ‘should undertake to do more
put no riiftlrtilties in the way of the
collection of reparations or the resto
ration of war torn Europe."
Turning his ha ok completely on the
League of Nations the executive reaf
firmed his allegiance to the ideals of
world association of nations for the
preservation of peace and concord,
"nut this problem,” he said, “must be
deliberately considered." and promised
to Invite the advise of the Senate when
I he feels it is time to act. “In the ex
isting League of Nations, with its g,.v
| eminent of super-powers, the republic
I will have n<* part,” he declared, adding.
| "There can be no mistake and therf
, will be no betrayal of the deliberate
expression of the American people in
the recent election.” In dealing with
the question of lowering the taxes and
I bringing about lower retail prices.
Harding said:
government is to put its house in or
der. I know of no more pressing prob
lems at home than to restrict our na
tional expenditures. The most sub
stantial relief from tax burdens must
come for the present from rcadjtyst
ments of internal taxes and revision
or repeal of those taxes which have
become so unproductive and hui^len
somc as to defeat their own purpose.
"I believe in the protection of Amer
ican industry and it Is our porpose to
prosper America first. The reduced
cost basis of production has been re
covered," he continued, "but the high
cost of living has not yet yielded In
like proportion. Perishable foods cost
too much and Congress should inves
tigate and pass an emergensy tariff at
"I have thought this to be a fitting
occasion to give notice that the United.
States is deeply concerned for the wel
fare of its crippled soldiers and those
needing the helping hand of the gov
ernment.** *
