Plan to Assess
for
Bonus Defeated
Ten Per Cent Levy Is Lost
by Tie Vote i'm House
Committee; Attempt May
Be Renewed Next Week
Bill Changed i'm Detail
Sales Tax Is Eliminated
and Program Spread Over
3 Years Instead of 2

WASHINGTON, May 15.On tic
vote with one member absent Repub
lican supporters in the House Ways
and Means Committee of stock divi
dend tax to finance soldier relief legis
lation, to-day lost their fight for 10
per cent levy, retroactive to last March
Is. The majority members Of the COM
mttee divided to Z.
The fight, proponents of the tax said,
would be renewed next week, when
Democrats Of the committee meet with
the Republicans to take final action on
the relief bill, the drafting of which
was completed to-day by the Republi
cans. They predicted that most Of the
Democrats would join with them in
adopting the project. Final drafting
Of the bill was not delayed by the Re-
publicans, however, because Of the de-
sire to bring it before the House before
the convention recess.
Sales Tax Eliminated
AS finally framed by the Republicans,
the new bill differs little from tee
original measure which met check in
the House a fortnight ago. The sales
tax has been eliminated and the four
other forms of taxation extended to
three years instead Of two.
A further fight in committee against
the cash bonus, the maximum limit Of
which is now fixed at $500 for service
in this country and $625 for overseas
service, is threatened Besides the
bonus, the bill offers four options, the
value of each to be 40 per cent greater
than that of the cash provision.
The bonus would be fixed at rate
Of 81 a day for service in this country
and $1.25 day for overseas. The op-
tional benefits are paid up insurance,
home aid, reclamation Of land for
farms and vocational training aid.
Tax Of 100000, 900 Involved
Taxes proposed to add $500 100000 a
year to government revenues, for the
next three years, would become eff
fective next December as follows: A
new surtax levy on incomes exceeding
$4,000: / per cent of the amount be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000; per cent on
that between $4,000 and $4,000, and
3 per cent on that exceeding $4,000.
A levy of two cents on each $40 Of
exchange transactions in stocks and
bonds and deals in futures of grain and
produce.
A tax of Is cents for each $50 on
real estates sales
Increase Of 1b per cent in existing
taxes on tobacco and cigars.
Payments of the bonus would begin
July /, 1921, and be made in quarterly
installments of $50 each.

Secfi0nuIiSnt ReUived
In Congress Debate
Elimination Of Confederate Cen
erals Names From Roster in
Am pllitheater SfirS Discussion

WASHIN NGTON, May Is. - Sectional
strife of Civil War days was revived
briefly in the House to-day during a
speech by Representative Upshaw,
Democrat, of Georgia, protesting
against the elimination Of the names
of Confederate generals from the
roster Of fame in the Memorial amphi-
,heater at Arlington, dedicated o-day.
Representative Madden, Republican,
of Illinois, interrupted the speaker to
ask:
Does the gentleman protest because
the loyal American people refuse to pay
tribute to men who were traitors to
their country in its hour Of need?"
The question was greeted with cheers
from the Republican side and jeers and
catcalls from the minority section.
Representative Upshaw made no an
swer and Representative Blanton,
Democrat, of Texas, Immediately de-
handed that the words be stricken
rom the record, declaring the Repub
lican members would not support the
sentiment.
Amid confusion in the House, the
Speaker called for order and finally
obtained it. The words were not
stricken out and Representative Up
/ shaw continued his speech.

Both Palmer and
Senator Johnson
Criticize Hoover
Attorney General Replies to
Testimony About Cuban
Sugar Crop; Senator Rid
icules Reservation Stand

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Two state.
ments dealing with recent public utter
ances Of Herbert Hoover were issued
here tonight, one by Senator Johnson
Of California, dealing with Mr.
Hoover's message to Oregon Republi-
cans, and the other by Attorney Cen
eral Palmer, commenting on the
former Food Administrators testimony
on the sugar situation before House
committee.
Senator johnson attacked Mr.
Hoover's plea to his supporters in
Oregon to elect delegates to the Re
publican National Convention who
stand for ratification Of the treaty OF
peace with reservations.
"Mr. Hoover is spoofin' Oregon" the
Senator said and added:
"Mr. Hoover in a contest with three
sides has the advantage Of having ad-
vocated in turn each of the three"
Mr.. Palmer replied to Mr.. Hoover's
contention that the Cuban sugar crop
should have been purchased by the
Sugar Equalization Board and asserted
that Congress failed to give the board
power to take such action until after
the Cuban crop was out Of hand. He
added that he had attempted to per-
suade the board to purchase the Louis
iania crop, but failed.
Commenting on Mr.. Hoover's sugges ).
tion that sugar be rationed now as in
war time, the Attorney General said
that while such plan was under con
sideration there was no practical, legal
way Of carrying it out.
Mr.. Hoovers recent conversion tc
the so-called Lodge reservations evi-
dences the fexibility and elasticity OF
a great statesman's mind" Senator
johnson declared.
II have opposed the present covenant
of the league of nations. My position
is known to every voter. Mr.. Hoover
in his usual disingenuous fashion, is
now seeking votes for my adversary
The only inference that can be drawn
from his veiled references is that he
wishes them to vote for General Wood
The general believes in some vague and
indefinite reservations, but he thinks
the matter ought not to go to the
people"
