COMMISSIONER REPLIES TO ATTACK

GREETING HARDING'
ON HIS WESTERN TRIP
World Court Speech at St. Louis,
Both Surprise and Shock Be
cause of Policy Change
STATEMENTS MISLEADING
Hull Says President’s Utterances
on Fiscal Affairs Do Not
Contain All Facts
WASHINGTON, July 6.—Presi
dent Harding’s western speech
making trip has furnished many in
cidents that are not without inter
est. The people! have received him
with the respect due his great of
fice and have listened to him at
tentively, but in, the reports of the '
trip there is nothing to indicate
any enthusiasm on the part of the
populace. Both in street parades
and in his speeches he has been
greeted with occasional applause
and cheers, punctuated by long
periods of silence.
In his speeches he has occasion
ally surpised and in some instances
shocked the country, particularly I
in his World Court speech at St J
Louis, in which he abandoned Mr.
Hughes’ plan of selecting judges
for the court, which by the way,
he had transmitted to Congress
with his warm approval, and of
fered a rather-startling plan of his
own.
In Kansas he encountered gen
uine “dirt farmers,” telling them
in effect that their troubles were
about over and also that the Gov
ernment had done about all it
could for them. But one practical
wheat farmer with years of ex
perience, despite what the Presi
dent had said of all he had done I
for the farmers, showed Mr. Hard-'
ing in detail that the cost of pro- i
ducing wheat per acre was $15.20 I
and that the farmer receives but I
$15.30. The same farmer told the
President that the farmers won’t
make anything this year, and Sen
ator Capper, who poses as a farm
er in Kansas and a statesman in
Washington, volunteered! the in
formation that “they didn’t make
anything last year eith<»r.”
In Utah he undertook to take
credit for a large reduction in
taxation, without telling’ his au
dience that in reduction of $600,-
000,000 of internal taxes, more
than $u00,000,000 was a reduction
of the taxes of the multi-million-'
aire and the profiteering classes; 1
nor did he say anything concern-'
ing the $4,000,000,000 annual tax
levied upon the American people ■
by the Fordney-McCumber tariff
law, which he signed. The official
figures of the Treasury Depart
ment show a reduction in expendi
tures for the current fiscal of 1923
of $65,000,000, but when the
items of expenditures are analy
zed it is found that nearly S2OO,- ’
000,000 of reduced expenditures in
1923 was due to a reduction of the
army and navy to a peace basis by
an act of Congress, to which the!
administration was opposed.
As Cordell Hull, chairman Dem- ■
erratic National Committe, says I
concerning President Harding’s ut- 1
terances on fiscal affairs: “To say |
that there statements are grossly
misleading is to use the mildest
possible language.”
Repots of the President’s trip
indicates I'athei clearly to observ
ers here that President Harding
is not only going to he a C andidate
for renomination, but that he is I
already a candidate and is doing i
all that in his power lies through
his western speeches to promo.,?
that candidacy, despite his privi
ous assertion that he would make
the trip as President and not as a
candidate.
I. C. C. STARTS ON
VALUATION HEARINGS
WASHINGTON, July 6.—Contro-j
verted questions in connection with {
the federal valuation of railroads ,
came up for agreement before the j
interstate commerce commission
with counsel for several railroad, I
state railroad commissions and or
ganizations interested, to participate
in the proceedings. A brief in be- ■
half of the national conference on '
valuation of American railroads has |
been filed with .the commission, ;
and a spokesman for the group is :
expected to appear during the hear- '
ing which will continue for three |
days.
In near'y all cases the roads con- ;
cerned are attacking the tentative 1
valuation announced by the com
mission for their property as too
small. State railroad commissions
in some instances have represent
ed the valuations found as too great
in part or in whole.

Voted on By People
At last night’s meeting of city
council the famous dispute over
I whether or not, the city board of
I education shall be given 8 mills for
I the support of schools here was
'again brought up. The question came

: was brought to the attention of the
body with a rqeuest that a resolu
tion be adopted asking the senator

I next year and that thereafter the
j maximum was to be fixed at 8 mills
| with, council having discretionary
I authority to reduce this unless a
i satisfactory showing as to its needs
Ibe made by the school board. He
wanted, however, to have a referen
dum clause attached to the measure

I on by the people. The people need
I io be aroused, he said, before it is
too late regarding this important
■ matter.

! City Attorney Lane explained the
I difference in the two bills as being
ithat the board’s bill would give them
■ 8 mills in perpetuity with council
I having no voice in the levy, and the

I mills next year and council having
; discretion within the maximum as-
J ter that date, he was instructed to
I draw a bill embodying the latter
ideas and send this to Senator Pace
and Representatives Hines and Riley

Brother of Americns Ball Player
Assassinated in River Swamp
Message Says
A telephone message received in
Americus last night conveyed in
telligence of the assassination of O.
B. Dowis, who was killed near Du
luth, in a dense swamp on the river
near that place. The message was
addressed to “Hub” Dowis, a broth
er of the dead man, who plays third
base for Americus’ ball team, and
contained few particulars relating
to the killing. *
According to the best informa
tion obtainable, Dowis was former
ly a deputy sheriff at Duluth and
had some trouble with a lawless ele
ment there during which he was
compelled to “kill some men.”
That this incident led to the kill
ing of Dowis Thursday night is
evidenced by the fact that several
weeks ago while he was driving his
car in a, lonely spot near Duluth
some one fired at him, shooting
away the sterring wheel of his car,
but Dowis escaped.
“Hub” Dowis left Americus soon
after receiving news of his brother’s
. murder, and will be gone several
| days investigating details surround-
I ing the event.

Carswell Says Executive and
Legislative Branches in Har
mony on Legislation
ATLANTA, July 6.—The Geor
gia senate this summer will work
together in closer cooperation
than in any of the recent past ses
sions, and has a genuine desire to
aid the governor as much as possi
ble,” George Carswell, president of
the upper branch of the General
Assembly, told the Associated
Press today.
The general sentiment among
the senators to work with the
chief executive of the state is ’’us
ually strong,” according to the
president and other members of
his house. At the same time, it
was indicated the lawmakers in the
upper branch would exercise to
the greatest extent their indepen
dent judgment on all measures and
proposals submited to them.
‘ I believe if the house sends us
the appropriation measure any a
new system of taxation to pass
upon, will dispose of them in
only short time,” said Mr. Cars
well. “All of. our members {are
anxious to get down to real busi
ness and we are awaiting the two
principal subjects of the present
session with much interest.”
Mr. Carswell, a veteran of many
sessions of the Georgia Asembly,
nad his committee appointments
ready for submission to the body
shortly after arriving in Atlanta
and being elected as president. He
withheld them until the speaker,
who was delayed in order that the
house might grant permission to
increase the number of committees
on which a member might serve
could complete his list.
The new president long has been
a student of taxations and appro
priation problems.
