April U. Presi dent Harding's meaaage did not make much of an Impression ner today, tor It is not clear on Important ques tions. Democrats were Interested In the fact that Mr. Harding followed the lead of Mr. Wilson and read what he had to say. For appearing in person Mr. Wilson waa called "King" by G. O. P. leaders. Democrats are preparing to give the Hardin recommendations fair consideration, but tney see no gooa in the emergency tariff bill, and will fight It to a finish. Representative Kitchln, If he is able, will lead the assault In the house, and Senator Simmons In the senate. The plan for peace Is considered weak and absurd. Democrats on the ways and means committee plan to Issue a warning that passage of the tariff bill, as pro posed .by the republicans, . will add upwards of three-quarters of a bil lion dollars a year or more to the cost of living of the American peo ple. A report Is being drafted by the minority for submission before the end of the week on the effects of the proposed legislation. Experts have been preparing In formation as to the operation of the various duties. It is contended that the tariff rates on wheat -products, meats and wool will make the ex pense of living mount into hundreds of millions of dollars additional ana that $100,000,000 alone will be added to the nation s sugar bill. Simmons Comment. Senator Simmons, discussing the message, said: "I was very much pleased with much of the President's address, but the demon rata will dissent rrom nis vlewa on the tariff and taxation. Im perially do I disagree with his views on internal taxes, nis loreifrn poucy miutt be very startling to the allies and confusing to his party.
