Behind Scheme for Ret
roactive Levy.

Washington, April GA retroactive

by the house Democrats and insurgent
Republicans to raise funds Of soldier
relief legislation. Representatives Rain
Republican, of South Dakota, in a state
ment announced that bill will be in
troduced Tuesday providing for the col
lection of the tax.
The plan of the Republican leaders
has not been finally agreed on, but its
main provision probably will be the i'm
position Of one per cent tax on sales.
The battle on financing soldier bonus
legislation, scheduled to begin in the
house May 3, promises to hinge on these
two conflicting schemes for meeting the
expense involved.

enue bill Of the Democrats and insurs-
ent Republicans. includes associations.
Joint stock companies and insurance
companies
Mr. Rainey said the measure would
raise two billion dollars for carrying out
the soldier relief. and would have the
solid support of the Democrats in the
house. The announcement, however.
was made as to the number of insdrgent
Republicans expected to support the
countcr-revenue bill.

Belgtaas Delighted BY Bloc.
The word revision" is wholly eschew-
ed by the prime ministers in talking Of
the treaty OF Versailles: the world 'in-
terpretation' is coming into use. The
Italian premier, Signor Nith. appears
to be content over the council leaving
the Adriatic question to continuance
Of direct negotiations with the Jugo-
Slavs.
The Belsians are satisfied because
they believe the western. bloc Of powers,
Great Britain. France, and Belgium, re-
mains as solid as ever against Germany.
The Belgians also are for the immed-
late fixing of the amount Of Germany g
debts to the allies.
Even Coaclllatioa to Russia.
NJ. venixelos, the Greek premier,
seems pleased over the extension OF
Greek territories by the addition of
Thrace and Smyrna, ancient possessions
Of the Greek race.
The attitude Of the council was con-
ciiatory toward Russia in instructing
the executive, or so-called permanent
committee Of the supreme economic
council to negotiate with the soviet rep
mentS.
The Zionists are happy over Palestine
as they wish q national home.
TURKS May Hold Erzsrun.
The Turks alone may feel that this
has been . dark week for them; yet Gil
ica, which it has been expected France
would take, has been left to Turkey
But the French statesmen decided upon
taking no more commitments in the
Near East except Syria and thus save
troops, money and worry. The Turks
also still have 4 chance to receive Erzer-
um. through the arbitration Of President
Wilson in the matter of the Armenian
boundaries.
The British prime minister, Lloyd
George, feels this has been one of the
most successful meetings the supreme
council has yet held. one Of promise
for the future of Europe and the restor-
alton OF economic cooperation.
(. johnson, the American ambassador,
will leave San Reno Tuesday.
Reports that the Adriatic question
mourning the disposition Of Fiume.
would be settled by the San Reno coun-
Gil in accordance with President Will
sons program appeared from San Reno
advices Sunday night. to be at least
premature. 1t was stated that the set
leEent proposed by Premier Nitti
varied from President Wilson's pro-
posal by including a constitution for the
buffer state of Fiume to which both
tho French and British premiers object
ed. Premier Nitti was informed by
both the French and British delega-
tions that Italy should either accept
President Wilson's plan or abide BY the
pact Of London. which gave Fiume to
the Jugo- -Slavs.

FIGHTING II. C. L.

Announcement 10 the effect that one of the railway brotherheods has purchased industrlal establishments in the middle west and are going to operate them for the purpose of bringing down the living expenses for its members indicates a determination to enter the. industrial field in a way that is bound to attract widespread Attention, The idea is to run these plants which make understandings, ov- erals. gloves and other similar arti- cles for the benefit of the members the goods being sold 10 the members for cost and it has been figured out that 8 large saving can in this way be effected. With the idea of extend ing the experiment it has been sug- gested that other brotherhoods ae- quire faetories for the manufacture of other kinds of goods such as shoes, clothing and hats and sell at cost to each other.
 HeretofoTs unions lave invested their funds in the acquisition of va rious kinds of industries for the pur- pose of getting. the profit therefrom but the idea of running the factories that those who are interested therein may get the benefit therefrom indi- cates eommendable attitude in fight ing the high cost of living. It means that the organizations are going to be confronted with the problems Of in- dustrial operation but they have nev- ! eTtheless indicated their willingness te tackle both that and the problem oi lowering the living costs.

Speedy action on the peace treaty is thow being urged from democratic cir cles in spite of the desire of Presi- ] dent Wilson to send it to the people at the next election. The more the situation is discussed the stronger grows the demand for a compromise i and Colonel Bryan is optimistic ! enough, following his Jackson day op- position to the president to urge that it be done by Friday. the day on which the league of nations will be set in motion.
 The indications point to the fact that the democrats will honestly en- deaFor to get together with the Lodge reservaticaists, that they realize that tha tfeaty cannot be made an issue at the election and that it is time that ot stfuctionist tactics were stopped.
 Nota little influence must have been -exerted by the letter of President Lowell of Harvard to Senator Walsh in which he declares that he believes that there is a misunderstanding on tae part of the democrats regarding the importance of article ten of tho covenant and that they are mistaken Il Lntg Ut44Eft ludI AhC W AOiC 4O1 NS back of the league lies in that article In the same letter he virtually urges the democrats to favor a reservation o1-article ten.

CLOSED TO BERGER.

It isn't often that congress is called upon to pass on the question of permitting a congressman-elect to take his seat twice in as many months but such was necessary in the cage of Berssr, and in each in stance the decision was the same-a denial No other decision was expect ed and no other was possible unless congress was prepared to uphold dis loyalty and endorse the attitude that Berger has been displaying both dur Ing and since the war.
 The fact that his district reelected him after he had been refused his seat the first time. and thus made it clear to the country that it believes In such a man and his defiance of law and order, did not change his standing in the lower house of con gross. Out of practically a full at- tendance Berger was able to muster only holf dozen votes in his favor.
 Berger was not excluded because oi his political affiliations but because of his conduct. The house has de- clsred him unfit 10 be 0 member of that bodys This amounts to a con vsction for his acts and Is of course independent of the conviction in the courts where he was found guilty and sentenced to 20 years in the federal penitentiary, from which au appeal is nov pending.
 The fact that his exclusion ieaves the nftb Wisconsin district without
