WASHINGTON, ID. C., May l.
Insurgent republicans of the house
who have been lighting their lead
ers In an endeavor 90 force taxa
ton OF war profits TO obtain rev.
enue for payment Of a soldier bonus
insist they are gaining recruits AS
yet, the insurgents are not publish
Ing names and as the members
themselves are inclined to avoid the
issue until forced 10 vote, there has
been a disposition upon the part Of
only few courageous republicans
10 make their position clear.
what will - the result Of the re-
publican conference soon 70 be held
no one IS ready 10 predict. The
lines have been sharply drawn dur
ing the house discussions. Demo
cratic members led by Champ
Clark. minority floor leader. assist
Rep. Garner of Texas, have pledged
the support OF the democratic min
ority for the taxation Of war profits.
With the exception Of the repuh-
lican leaders, the only expression
which has come from the republican
side IN support Of the taxation of
war profits IS from Rep. Johnson Of
South Dakota. Rep Frear Of Wis
Consin. and Rep. KnutsOn Of Min
ncsOta. The republican leaders are
pledged 90 taxation Of sales and IN
this proposal they insist they have
the support OF the majority Of the
republican side.
Republican leaders have made II
clear that if their proposal 10 adopt
a sales tax is not accepted by the
H0uep thpv viii kill the LEGISLATION
through parliamentary tactics.
Either the house must accept the
legislation the republican leaders
OFFER or IL viii not have an oppor-
tunity to consider any bonus bill.

40 amendments viii be permitted,
the members will be allowed 10 talk
on the subject and then they must
vote on one or two propositions &C
cording 20 the order from the re-
publican leadcrs-they must vote
TO kill the legislation.
In their endeavor 10 mOllify the
insurgents and prevent a break in
their ranks. the republican leaders
have tanned down their sales tax
proposal and have taken this action
in the face Of a warning from Sen.
Watson OF Indiana, that the revenue
must be obtained through taxation
OF sales.
The insurgent republicans and
the democrats count some successes
already.
First, the republican leaders
planned TO avoid having any legis-
lation and were successful in this
plan for months, until the insur-
gents forced them to consider the
question.
Second, the republican leaders
then planned and wrote legislation
providing a tax on turnover sales, %
a tax which would have made
proGteering possible, also further
increases in the cost of living. In
surgents and democrats, by expos
ing this scheme, have frightened
the machine republicans into modi-
flying this plan.
Soldiers are insisting IN letters
and kilograms to members-3O hav-
ing come IN one day 10 Rep. Rainey
that they will not accept any cash
bonus obtained through taxation OF
sales because instead OF making
those who made big profits out of
the war pay the bonus. the poor
would have to pay IL. But the re-
publican leaders continue to insist
that the wealthy are paying all the
taxes they can and should pay, and
that the only source Of income left
is by taxing the necessities of life
Republican leaders insist this tax
will not be obnoxious or burden
some. and that il Will cost the aver
age man very little. They admit,
! however. that the consumer will
pay about $500, GOO. 900 through this
| form of taxation and that about 80

| entire sum.
