CAUCUS D|SAGREES
ON SOLDIER BONUS
Fail to Harmonize on Terms OF
Bill-Another Delay
ForeSeen.

Legislation providing a bonus for
the men who served in the world war
10 ensnaTled in a mesh OF party diff
ferences today.
After a caucus OF Republican mem
bers OF the House, which lasted until
early today. Republican leaders ad-
mitted that hopes for vote on
bonus legislation in the House next
Monday have gone glimmering. The
caucus developed such wide differ
ences Of opinion that no final action
was taken and Republican Leader
Mondell announced that another
caucus would be held next week.
Opposition to the proposed sales
tax caused the rift, and leaders an
nounced that the tentative plan for
raising funds for a bonus by sales
taxes would probably have TO be
abandoned. Representative Johnson
Of South Dakota Is leading a group
OF opponents to the sales tax plan
who are advocating that the money
be raised through a tax on large in
comes received during the war.
Some OF those who oppose any
bonus Legislation at this session OF
Congress predicted that there is
slight chance of any bin being passed
within the next few weeks
Cbairmn aFordney, OF the Ways and
Means Committee, who has been in
favor OF immediate granting OF a
bonus, charged today that some mem
bers were getting cold feet"
While members OF Congress have
been receiving large numbers of pro-
tests against the levying OF ad-
ditional taxes to provide a bonus,
announcement made yesterday OF the
proposed new taxes resulted today In
food OF telegraphic protest. The
proposed schedule OF taxes was so
diversified that II has apparently
brought forth protest from people In
almost every walk OF life.

STATE POLICE FOR
MARYLAND URGED
Governor CornWelI Believes
Need for System as Great as
In West Virginia.

BALTIMORE, May 1,--Wrst Vir-
ginia's experiment with a State police
system. patterned somewhat along
the lines OF the highly efficient
Pennsylvania state police, has been an
unqualified success.
II has not only vindicated tho views
of those who created IL but has won
the confidence and good Will Of praC-
ticaliy every element which in tho
beginning first questioned. then
fought the establishment OF the sys-
tenn.
This is tho message brought to Bal
timorc by Gov. John J. Cornwcll yes
terday. The governor was the orig
inaI advocate Of a state police force
in West Virginia. He called the leg
iSlaturc into extra session for the pur-
pose Of considering it, among other
important matters. and led the fight
which resulted in the creation OF the
state wide policing system. He en-
countered stubborn opposition to his
measure particularly from the labor
leaders OF the State. but he now is
convinced that a majority OF those
leaders have been converted.
They do not spend their time
bullying labor or intimidatinG law
abiding people. But they know how
TO protect the lives and property OF
West VirEinians. They know how to
patrol our highways. how TO enforce
our laws. how to fight forest fires and
even how TO act as game wardens.
Their duties are manifold, but the
more we give them to do the more
valuable they become and the better
the investment we have made in them.
Speaking of Maryland, Governor
Cornwell had no desire to intrude his
advice upon that State, but as a mat
ter OF nciehborlincss and mutual in
tercst he was willing to comment
briefly upon the advantages which
might be expected to accrue to
Maryland from a similar police sys.
tenn.
Looking broadly at Marylands
situation" he said. at seems to me
that she is as much in need Of state
police force as was West Virginia
Her recent experience in dealing with
the revolving crime at Sandy Spring
is an illustration of this. ] know the
Sandy Spring country thoroughly
and IL there had been a well armed
and well mounted State police force
patrolling the Maryland highways at
the time, force directed from a
single station and one which might be
communicated with instantly from a
center such as Baltimore, IL would
have been practically impossible for
the murdercrs to have escaped
through the lines that would have
been drawn around them.
AT tho moment Maryland has an
excellent highway patrol TO enforce
the automobile laws. That patrol
might easily be expanded into n state
police force, Moro men might be add
Cd. Moro authority given to those
already in the States employ and
guard system developed which would
prove OF incalculable value to tho
commonwealth at large.
