HOUSE MAY CONSIDER
BONUS BILL TOMORROW
Many Members Desire to Make
Speeches on Measure At
fecting Service Men.

The House expects to take up to-
morrow the service bonus bill report
ed yesterday by the ways and means
committee. Practically an the mem
bers OF the House are desirous of
making speeches on the bill. The
leaders expect to limit strictly the
time allowed for speeches, but It is
probable that the debate will con-
tinue at least until Tuesday.
Those opposed to the bonus legis-
in the House It is generally con-
ceded that even IL the House does
pass it the Senate will not pass it.
The bin was reported out late yes
terday by the ways and means COM
mittee after it had voted to include a
10 per cent stock dividend tax retro
active to March Is. as part of the
plan for financing the legislation.
The final committee fight centered
about the stock tax, ten democrats,
reinforced by three republicans. sue
ceeding by a margin of one vote in
forcing adoption of the levy. BY the
same vote the combination blocked
elimination OF the tax. After con-
siderable jockeying the bill was or
dered reported by a vote of Is to 10.
As the measure will come before
the House, it will provide nve new
tar leyies amounting to more than
$500. .0OO, 900 year for the next three
wears. Besides the stock tax the
ievies include increased taxes on to-
bacco and incomes, real estate sales
and stock and grain exchange trans
actions in futures. Revenue thus
nroduced would be used for paying q
cash bonus.
