SOLDIER BONUS PROBLEM
SOLUTION IS OFFERED
Two Billions in Bonds, Interest for
Men, Representative Tread
ways View.

Representative Allen T. Treadway Of
republican, a member
OF the ways and means committee, to-
Day introduced a bill which, he says.
ne Is convinced will solve the soldiers
ponus problem. He proposes that the
Treasury Department shall write
$1,000 100000 of per cent twenty
nve-year bonds which shall remain in
the Treasury, the interest going into
rund which will care for the former
service men who are really needy.
Representative Treadway empha-
slzeo the fact that these two billion
uoiIars in government bonds will not
ne put out blythe Treasury and there
1ore will not cause further stress in
the financial situation.
Ihe main purpose is to establish a
1und which shall be administered in
eacn state by board consisting of
state off1cials and the state command
er OF the American Legion" said
representative Treadway.
Inc fund is intended for the relief,
care ana support of any soldier. sailor
or marine whose case first is examined
py the local American Legion and ap-
proved by the state board. The under
ylns principle of the bill is the as
surahce that no cases of actual need
either among the veterans of the world
war or their families shall fail To re-
ceive attention.
n seems to me-" continued Renre-
sentative Treadway, that this bill has
a marked advantage over a direct pay
lnent 10 every man. in that in many
needed and in others the benefits rh.reS
from would be only temporary. Should
the idea OF this bill be enacted into
laW. the trust fund thus esta blisheri
VIII directly benefit ex-seryice men At
time when such benefit Is needed"

SURE scent FARE
WILL NOT return
Member of Utilities Board
Does Not Believe Merger
Would Restore Rate.

With the cost Of operation at it's
present high level. Washington could
not return to a scent fare. even II q
merger of the street railway COM
panies could be brought about at this
time. in the opinion of member Of
the Public Utilities Commission.
While members of the commission
feel that it is too soon to speculate
on what the fare will be after May 1.
when the existing rate Of four tickets
for a quarter expires. it was indicated
that they do not believe the compa-
MES could operate for Gets with the
expenses they are now under.
Discussing the relation Of the fare
question to a merger LieIt. Col.
Charles w. Kutz. chairman of the
commission, said he feeis that con-
advantages as to make it desirable
even at the present rate OF fare.
Resume Hearings Temorrow.
The hearings being held by the
House District committee todetermine
what legislation Congress should en-
act to improve street car service here,
either by a merger or other means
will be resumed tomorrow aand may
be concluded this week.
Commissioners are able to form an
idea Of what Congress intends to do.
they will dispose of the petition now
pending of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company for a 7-cent
fare with a two-csnt charge for trans
fers.
= It Is possible that the commission
may hold the plea of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric in abeyance
until the end Of April, when the pres
ent rate OF fare expires ON both
roads. The order fixing the present
rate of fare at four tickets for quar-
ter provided that on May l the s.
cent fare with cents for transfers
would automatically be restored. un-
less otherwise ordered before that
date.
Intimatio coming from members
of the commission indicate that new
action on the fare question will be
taken before the end of April.

LEGlON'S LEGISLATION
COMMITTEE MEETS HERE
Men Appointed to Encourage Bene-
fetal Measures Are Holding
First Session.

Members of a special committee of
the national organization Of the
American Legion, appointed recently
to encourage beneficial legislation of
particular interest to former service
men, are holding their initial meeting
in Washington today.
Franklin DOlier. national COM
mander of the legion and ex officio
member Of the committee. reached
the city to take part in the delibera-
tions.
1t is expected that the representa-
tives Of the legion will concentrate
their efforts on convincing Congress
of the need of some provision for
universal military training. The ma
tional convention Of the order last
November indorsed the principle of
universal training and many indiVld-
uaI posts have taken similar action.
The national executive committee OF
the legion recently went on record
as being In favor Of every one who
served in the Army. Navy or Marine
Corps during the war being awarded
a $50 bond for each month OF service,
but 1t is not thought the benencfai
legislative committee will press that
issue until the question of military

Private advices received in Wash :
ington from friends of Chief
Justice Reading are to the effect that
he has been invited to accept a per-
manent appointment as British am
bassador to Washington. and that he
now has the offer under considera-
ton.
The frail state of health of the
countess, which caused her to dread
the assumption of the heavy social
obligations of the British embassy in
Washington, is known to have been 4
