Congress are facing one OF the most
delicate political questions they have
to solve. Rejection OF the bonus leg

agreed that the funds for the bonus
must be ruised by direct taxation,

would be generally displeasing to the
nation. - - = = - -
Five subcommittee of the House
Ways and Means Committee are
working upon the question OF bonus
legislation now. but the action OF
these committees is controlled by a
main sub-committee. composed Of
Chairman Fordney. OF Michigan. Con-
gresham. Longworth OF Ohio and
Green of Iowa, Republicans; and Kit
chin OF North Carolina and Rainey OF
illinois, Democrats.
Majority Seeks Delay.
A poll OF this controlling sub-com-
mittee shows a majority opposed to
my action on the bonus before the
conventions. Chairman Fordney IA
vors immediate action In favor OF
bonus. Congressman Green is unde-
cided. Congressman Longworth,
Rainey and Kitchin are opposed to
immediate action and favor delay un-
til after the conventions.
A careful canvass of members of
Congress shows that the preponder-
ance OF opinion is against cash
bonus at this time, although few
members are willing to make state
ments for publication to this effect,
There Is an apparent desire to do
something for the service man. but

Strong opposition to the cash bonus

Industrial and agricultural interests
feel that cash bonus would cause
a great slackening of the effort of
labor. which would be injurious to
the business interests of the South.
This pressure Is so great that the,
Southern delegation in Congress
would be almost unanimously against
bonus now.
A bonus in the form Of land grants
would solve the problem for Congress.
and Congress Is willing to legislate
for such a bonus, but there is no
strong demand for land grant bonus
from the ex-service men.
