Harding Plans to Visit 0 in aha on Speaking Trip Probably Will Make Address Here on Transportation Problems During Swing Around Circle. BY GEORGE F. AETHER " anhlngton Correspondent The Omaha Bee. Washington, D. C.. April 10.— Omaha, u was disclosed at the White House Monday, will in all probability lie included in the president's western itinerary. The executive is being overwhelmed with invitations to visit important and unimportant points, but will chose well selected centers for the delivery of ids important mes sages. it is not the president's plan to make extensive rear-end train speeches, devoting one speech to a specific topic at a. particular point. Omaha, the center of the great west ern live stock, farm products and transportation industries, will be the center for the delivery of a speech on one of these subjects, Isadore Zeigler, attorney, and John Gillen of Omaha were in Washington Monday. They presented an invitation to the president to visit Omaha while on his western trip. The itinerary of the swing round the circle is now under consideration. To Attack Rail Problem. President Hardtngi it became known, will attack the railroad prob lem on his swing round the circle, choosing some western point in which to make an important pronounce-' ment on this subject. White no de cision has been reached as to the locality in which the railroad speech will be made, it was understood he xv ill select some central western point like Kansas City or Omaha. Conferences are now under way to determine the exact nature of the rec ommendations the president will make, but one thing is decided upon and that is the executive will demand reduced freisht rates for western farm products and possibly a gen eral freight reduction. Leaders in administration circles realize that the transpartation prob lem cannot be ignored and that the administration will be forced to grap ple with it. During his western swing, the president will discuss the various farm problems, but among them, the western leaders say, transportation is the most important. Ilarding and tapper Confer. This subject was discussed Monday morning between President Harding and Senator Capper, republican, Kan sas. The latter pointed out that the roads in his state, the Union Pacific and Santa Fe, are making approxi mately 13 per cent and are building up big surplus funds, "So far as our rtate is concerned,” Senator Capper said, "there can be no hard link story which will obviate til" necessity of rate reductions." tn a general way it can be said with j authority, the president will outline! a constructive transportation program v hi'-h w ill lie along the lines'suggent- j eii earlier last winter by Senator Cum mins of Iowa, chairman of the senate committee on interstate commerce. It will propose the enlargement of the Interstate Commerce commission and; placing with it the responsibility for fixing wages as well as rates. It will follow the lines suggested in the pres ident's last message to congress in which he suggested the rounding out of a transportation scheme which would include with proper relativ" value the steam roads, waterways and auto truck lines.
