Result of Protests on

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Readjust-
ment Of the entire system OF taxation

vide sufficient money to pay a bonus to
former service men, according to mem
bers of the committee, who met today to
decide upon policy on the question.
81 feel it would be necessary for this
congress to increase taxation to raise the
money for the payment of a soldiers
bonus" Representative Kitchin, North
Carolina. said. Every person who ap-
peared before the committee believed 1t
would be wrong to raise the money by a
loan. The boys wish to have 1t raised by
taxing the larger incomes"
FORDNEY FOR
BOND ISSUE.
'a'~'"nn Fordney of the committee has
held that the fotation Of a bond issue
IA raise the money would be possible.
Former Secretary McAdoo suggested
the fotation Of a bond issue to reduce
taxation" Fordney said. IF it is pos
sible to float bond issue to reduce taxes
1t is certainly possible to float one to pay
the soldier boys u bonus"
When the committee takes Ut the ques-
ton Of taxation to raise the money, plans

8LANToN AIDS STACKER


ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Blan-
ton, one of Americas windy patriots,
blocked an attempt to apprehend a
Philadelphia draft dodger who was
sentenced to five years Imprisonment
and escaped. 1t is charged that the
escape was made possible through
conspiracy and the house committee
on rules submitted a privileged re-
port, calling for an investigation, and
recommended that same be passed.
1t was then that the great Blanton
arose in his patriotism, and by parlia-
mentary tactics defeated the resolu-
tion from coming to vote.
The family of the draft dodger is
reputed to be very wealthy, and has
spent large sums to keep the Stacker
out of every possible danger while
other boys were at the front or were
willing to go
