SENATOR HARDING
OPENS CAMPAIGN
Marion, Ohio, July 31. Ii the opening
speech of hia front porch campaign
Senator Harding told a delegation
from Richland County, Ohio, today
that the greatest usefulness of the nation
demanded a levelling of class and
sectional bearers and a relization of
the "Interdependence and mutuality
interest of all people."
The great war he said, had helped
toward such a realization. Closer
cooperation in industry and complete
assimilation of the Foreignborn
he suggested as pointing the
way to a fuller national accord.
Urging also readjustment of taxation,
he expressed boubt whether
the war time excess profit levy was
in harmony with peace requirements,
but added he had not yet worked out
details of ft revise*! tor trimtom
"We ought to make wealth bear its
full share of taxation" he said, nd we
we ever will. Having this thought in
mind and also thinking of the excessive
cost of living, I doubt if the
excess profits tax for war percisely
accomplshes the end we seek in peace
I would gladly recommend a change,
but I am not yet prepared to suggest
an equitable substitute, though I
should have no hesitancy in asking
, Congress to seek the earliest possible
solution.
The league of nations he did not
refer to directly, but he declared the
nation's "Highest duty is to cling to
the fundamentals on which we builded
to world astonishment and hold fast
to the natioality which inspired our
onward march".
"It is with a keen sense of delight
that Iwelcome your visit today" said
Senator Harding.
"I am please that you come not
Only as republicans, but as neighbors
ad friends. We need to cultivate
friendliness and neighborliness I
sometimes think in this busy, work a
day world, we are neglecting those little
acts of neighborliness that make
life sweet and worth while. It is
well enough for one to strive to get
ahead in a material sense for through
that ambition human progress is
wrought. To acquire and accumulate
honesty is most laudable, but we
should not forget that life's greatest
joys lie in the social concourse of
friends and neighbors. Out of such
relations grow mutual respect, mutual
sympathy and mutual interest,

without which holds little of real en- h
joyment. 1
"The especial thought in my mind *
today is the interdependence and the *
mutuality of interest of all our people ^
"The tendency to class consciousness *
is the product of developing fortunes 1
and is both a reflex of achievement 1
and a menace to maintained progress. *
We must caution against class dis- *
tinction nd class conflict at every step. 1
"Here in the middle west, where far- c
ing is free from tenantry and holds '
to the normal way, and manufactur- 1
ing is mainly confined to the plants of *
that moderate size which indexes the *
surpassing fabrics of American industry,
we have the touch of intimacy I
and that closer understanding which t
emphasize the thought I have in mind. ?
We cannot promote agriculture alone, (
because the factory is necessary to {
the making of h market. We can- i
not foster the factory and ignore ag- t
riculture because the farms are the i
base of our food supply. 1
"I can reall readily forty cent wheat 1
flayed from the fields of Richland and ?
Morrow. That was before industry 1
developed the home consumer, that
was before railways an improved high" r
ways opened the way to markets, t
That was when farming was a fight ?
for subsistence, instead of the present
day pursuit of attainment. That was i
before luxury became the by-product ?
of farm and factory. That was be- ?
fore the age af agricultural machin- I
ery, that was when we cradled the r
wheat and toiled from sunrise to sun- *
set, that was before wealth had tak- i
en from the earth to alter the way of t
our civilization. (
"I trust no one misquote me as H
saying I believe in forty cent wheat, 1
because I have indulged my memory, <
Sometimes we are very unfair in handling
the utterances of public men. I f
I remember, when the Senate was t
discussing the wartime guarantee on <
wheat when we felt we ought to give <
the American farmer that assurance t
which would encourage a seeding to ]
guard against war famine, a western 1
Senator was arguing that wheat could ?
not be raised for less than $2.50 per t
bushel. I interrupted him to say that
I well recalled that Ohio farmers, in i
pre-war days had rejoiced to get a i
dollar for their wheat. I was speak- t
ing of normal days prior to the war. t
Yet there are those today who seek 1
to convey that I said a dollar a bush- i
el ia enough for wheat today. I am i
not so annoyed at the silly untruth aa <
ia I am distressed at the affront to or- <
dinary intelligence." i

Every normal being is lookng
forward. We collect more federal
.axes in one year than the entire
vealth of the republic a century ago.
)nly a little while ago our grievances
ibout taxes were wholly local, belause
a half century of republican
:ontrol of the Federal government
leld us free from direct burdens.
But the changed policy, the Demoiratic
drift to freedom of trade which
s international rather <natiohal, and
nounting cost of government and
inally war burdens, turned Federal
axation to a colossal burden.
"I would gadly recommend a change

ihould have no hesitancy in asking
Congress to seek the earliest possible
iolution. The reduced cost of governnent
is already pledged, and reduced
ippropriation by Congress is already
ecorded. We must not paralyize
lome or destructive competition from
tbroad, because our mutual interest
n productivity has made us what we
ire.
"Despite all the depreciation, I canlot
bring myself to accept the notion
hat the in^er-relation among our men

"We are a democratic people. There
s a disposition of some to inveigh
