Defeat of Move

Almost Certain
Leaders on Both Side Hope
For Some Shortening
of Debate.
WASHINGTON. July 6. Defeat
of the Republican motion for clo
tuie on ihe administration tariff
l.iil appeared to be virtually cer
tain tonlKl.t on the eve of the vote
o,i the ihsue set for noon tomor
row. Uemoorutic leaders claimed and
Republican leaders conceded that
it wduld not be possible to obtain
or the motion tne two-tniras ma-
lorltv n ceraary to Invoke the ex
isting rule, which would limit de
bate on the bill and its amend
ments t one hour for each Sena-
tcr.
Leaders on both aides were
hopeful however, that out from
the move would come a unani
mous consent for -limiting of the
doodle, at least, on the leas impor
tant Items in the measure.
if the cloture move falls, con
sideration of the tariff hill will go
steadily, ahead. Whether there
w;il be a return to night sessions
may depend upon the outcome of
the negotiations by which it is
hoped to cut down debate and
speed a final vote. The bill re

EUROPE TURNING
TO LLOYD GEORGE
FOR LEADERSHIP
Wharton of Greensboro
Says People Disgusted
With United States.
GREENSBORO, -July S. The
people of Europe, especially those
br France - are rather . disgusted
with the United. States after the
way the latter got out after her
attempt to settle- things, according
to E. P. Wharton, an Investment
banker of this city, Just back from
an industrial and financial survey
of France, tfl company with 29
other American bankers selected
by the Board of Trade of France.
The French people, together
with most of the others In Europe,
really look to England to. pull the
continent through, he declared,
and especially, to the Premier of
Great Britain,' Lloyd George, who.
is regsrded with great confidence,
he aaid.
. "The French can be depended
upon to work out their own prob
lems," .Mr. Wharton said "The
people there are very optimistic.
We did not talk to one discouraged
Frenchman. They are nearly all
at work and they seem to have
great faith In the future, but they
realize, of course, that they have
a great number of problems to
solve before normal conditions will
obtain."
However, he found conditions
there better than was expected by
the party of bankers. The farms
are all Intensively cultivated and
there I very little unemployment,
less In the countries that partici
pated In tbeTrar than in the neu
trals, like Holland and Switzer
land. A tremendous amount of
building is going on in France.
Eight-tenths or tne money inai
the French hoped to get as repara
tions -from the Germans has al
ready been appropriated and spent
by .the French government. In the
devastated regions the government
it rebuilding private property pro
vided the inhabitants will return
to It.
"The French people are deter
mined that the Germans shall pay
the whole amount of reparations
demanded," Mr. Wharton said.
"They feel that If the Germans are
not held down for the next few
years there Is bound to be another
war In the near future. Personal
ly I do not believe that the Ger
mans can pay the amount asked
the banker continued, 'but -the
French do and they are determin
ed that Germany shall pay."
Mr. Wharton found that "the
great bulk of the people In Europe
think that the Allied debt to the
United States should be cancelled,
or at least greatly reduced." and
they seem hopeful that It will be.
A straw vote on the question was
taken among the 10 bankers and
.u-..-,.rth. of them were In fa-
of reducing the amount

By BILLY BORNE
PLEADS
FOR HARMONY IN
OF 6. 0. P.
People Said to Want Re
adjustment for Others,
Not Themselves.
COL.UMBU8, O., July . By
The Associated Press) President
Harding in an address here to
night made a vigorous appeal for
harmony in the ranks of the Re
publican party. Too many who
profess to be Republicans, he de
clared, are attempting to "attract
attention to themselves." Instead of
working for the good of their par
ty ana country. ;.; . t. .T-,,
The President aaid he did hot
care to be a -"soloist," but added
that some one had to act as direc
tor, . otherwise there would be no
harmony. ,He spoke at an open
air banquet which celebrated the
fiftieth anniversary of he Colum
bus Republican Glee Club, nf
which he tonight was made a life
member.
Prefacing his remarks with the
observation that a glee club never
would sing in harmony if the
tenors Insisted on receiving special
attention because they were tenors,
and the base did likewise. Mr.
Harding declared it would be im
possible to preserve party harmony
if Individuals and groups in the
party took the same "slant on
things." ,
, Several hundred men and wo
men, most of them actively identi
fied with the . Republican party,
heard the President's address. He
reminded them that the party ia
sponsor, for the Government, and
added that "we would be better off
If ,all who wear the badge were
Republicans at heart."
Take "No Fling" At
What -Went Before.
"You seldom stop to think of
the inheritance of the present ad
. miniatratlon." declared the Execu
tive, adding that he meant to take
. : a. r . 1 . .n k.fnr, '
no Iling WL nai wd.v. .
"But there waa a' saturnalia of
expenditure." he continued, "with
some nations spending. to bank
ruptcy and the United States to
madneas. Out of that great up
heaval must come a re-adjustment,
but it seems as if no one wants a
re-adjustment for i himself, al
though he m eager to have it for
others." ' ,
During his speech the President
reiterated his declaration, made on
July Fourth at Marlon, that this
nation cannot tolerate group or
class domination through force.
"If law cannot be maintained,
the President continued, "then the
republic Itself is menaced."
The President, on his way by
automobile from Marlon to Wash
ington, stopped off here today to
play golf and to attend the ban
quet in his honor. He will re
sume his Journey tomorrow morn
in. intent on arriving at the
White House some time HfturtJay.
The President left Marlon thle

dropped Into The Star offl.e

Watts declared that taxes collect
ed "at present rates will be amply
sufficient for a wise and economl
cal administration, not parslmon
Inna nor lavish.
"North Carolina will never find
It necessary again to levy an ad
valorem tax for state purposes,
he asserted.
Th address of Commissioner
watta ana nf the few h has made.
discussed the new taxing system
aa- follows:
Mr. Chairman ana memoers oi io
Assoclstlon, Ladles end - Gentlemen:
When I accepted your Invitation to
he with you today, 1 wrote that I
would be present snd submit a few
remarks, but If a speech wss wsnt-,
ed you should have some one else
nrasent to make it. I hope. Mr,
Chairman, thla matter haa been duly
attended to.
I waa asked to discuss' the state
Inheritance Tax. I have decided to
briefly discuss the system of taxa
tion for State purposes, of which th
Inheritance tax la a part. I mean
atate taxea and not county and
achool taxes levied, collected and
spent by the counties.
At the last regular aeaslon of the
General Assembly our Stats Inau
gurated a new policy under which
no ad valorem taxes are levied on
property for State purposes, leaving
all nroDerty. whether owned by in
dividuals or corporations, to be tsxed
by th counties snd municipalities
for their own purposes. Including
schools, snd rsislng the Stale's riv
enuea from tae. on Inheritance, In
come., franchl.es, In.urance iioil
ciee, gasoline, llcen.ee. fees and
rental, of Stats property. The li
cense tsx on automobiles and the
tax on gasoline ars used exclusively
to pay interest on bonds Issued fur
fubllo-, roads and to maintain them,
understand the revenues from these
sources are aufficlenl for the pur
poses for which .they are levied. The
other taxes furnl.h the revenues for
every other activity of the State, in
cluding an appropriation of M, 400,
000 to education, of which 1800.000
la diabursed to the weaker coun'.Hs
for schools as an equalising ni.il.
From these revenue, the Slate nun
ports Ita educational, charitable and
penal Institutions,, pays tl.OOO.OOD to
the ex-CoYifederste soldiers snd I heir
widows, snd conducts every branch
of the State Government. It la con
fidently believed that the present
taxes at preaent rates, will lie amply
aufflclent for a wis and economi
cal administration, not purslmon
lous. not lavish. , The revenues will
grow a ths Slats expands and so
will the requirement of the Hist
snd her Institution.
Occasions lly opposition Is heard to
the inheritance tax. To my mind It
Is a very Juat tax Indeed. Most ci.
Ilized governments. Including our
own. and nearly all the States of Ihe
Union, tsx Inheritance!. Our k'orn
Carolina tax Is one of the lowest of
them ell'. We give liberal exemp
tions to widow, and children and
Hi the first 2f,.00n above exemp
tions Inherited by any one of them
at only one per cent and gradually
raise the' rate until the exceaa above
a half million dollara pays five I" i
cent. The rstes to kinsmen of fur
ther degree snd to non-kln.men hi
higher but the maximum rste is nine
per -cent on the excess above tOO.
000. The helra of probably & per
cent of the persons who die In North
Carolina pay no Inheritance tax.
If the inheritance Is small ihe
tax la smsll. while a very Isrge In
heritance pays a considerable tsx.
The large fortunes of North (.'aroiliu
sre sequlred under the protection of
our beneflclent lawa which seek to
give Justice to the rich and the
poor, to the employer and employe,
alike. It ia entirely Just that these,
large fortunea, built up largely by
the ability to utilise profitably Hi
labor of others, should on the deaths
of their owners bs required tn py
taxea out of their abundance for the
common good. These taxes should
st all times be reasonable and in no
wlae confiscatory.
On account of our excellent
climate, fertile soil snd unurpal
nstural resources, of the splendid
ability of our men ef affaire, and it
our good government, our atate r.as
ten rich men where it hsd one ten
yeara ago. snd It is safe to predict
