APRIL FIRE LOSS In
APRIL WAS $22, 1OS, $50


Raleigh May 22.---The Journal of
Commerce, compiling from its daily
records In the United States during
the month, gives April fire loss $22,-
108,750 against $15, 4S4,750 for 1919,
and $20,108,900 for 1918, an increase
of Is and 20 per cent respectively.
For the four month period the loss
is $113,350,700 against $94,024,925
in 1919 and $9S,5S6,135 in 1918.
Fire insurance companies do not
consider this fire loss abnormal,
when looked at from the standpoint
of percentage values, as compared
with previous years. The higher
valuation placed on all classes of
property in addition to the normal
increase by production, they say has
caused a great gain in fire premium
income. This gain is shown by Con-
necticut insurance department sta
tistics showing premiums of the
companies reporting to that state on
their 1919 operations of $491,023,-
763, a gain OF $57235,724 for the
year. On the other hand the risks
these companies have assumed and
have yet to carly to maturity are
enormous amounting to sS6,1sT,-

RAISING FUNDS TO
PAY SOLDIER BONUS
Democrats Believe ''War Mil
lionaires", Men Who Grew
Rich, Should Pay the Tax

Washington, May Bipartisan
consideration of soldier bonus legis-
| lation is being denounced in the
house by Democrats under the lead
ership of Representative Henry T.
Raney, of Illinois, member of the
ways and means committee. Action
Of majority members of the commit
tee in excluding the Democrats while
the bonus bill was in preparation
and the program for putting the
measure thru under suspension OF
the rules and without opportunity Of
amendment, are among the causes Of
complaint.
Probably the most serious criti-
cism of the Republican program is
due to the @. o. P. plan for raising
funds with which to give the SOL
diers a bonus. Democratic members
of the committee who favor bonus
legislation propose that the bonus
shall be paid by taxation of "War
millionaires "-men who grew rich
out of war contracts or business con
ditions and prices incident to the
war The Republicans, however, i'll
sist on raising the money by leVylng
sales or consumption tax, which
would affect every home in America,
rich or poor.
Under the latter proposition, it is
contended by Representative Ralney
and his colleagues, Congress will give
the ex-soldier and sailor a bonus
and then take part Of it away from
him thru a tax on the articles he
eats or wears. Meanwhile, the ex-
cess profits of the war millionalres'
will be almost undisturbed and the
tax will not be paid by those most
able to bear additional burdens OF
taxation.
Representative Rainey pointedIy
calls attention to the fact that when
the Democrats were in control or
the house during the war all the
great war measures were framed in
partisan spirit and the Demo-
Gratis of the ways and means and
other committees called in their Re-
publican colleagues and sought their
advice in framing war bills. In con-
sidering the bonus bill, which is in
effect a war measure, the Repub-
leans of the house have shut the
door on the Democrats, excluded
them from committee sessions, and
intend to put the bonus bill thru
as a caucus measure. The G. 0. P.
leaders called a caucus to thresh out
the party's internal wrangles over
bonus legislation.

Views of Economists.
Economists in Washington, how

with respect to the real significance

crest of the high price wave has
been reached, either with respect u
clothing and similar manufactured
commodities or Of foodstuffs," said
DR. Royal Meeker, commissioner of
labor statistics.
Certainly there is no change in
the underlying fundamental force
price movements to cause
any economist to believe the down.

ports from our Investigators show,
there has been no striking demon
