SOLDIER BONUS BILL
NOT LIKELY TO PASS

Legislation favoring bonuses for
young men who served in the American
army during the World war has struck
80 many snags in the house of repre-
sentatives in the last two weeks that it
has become doubtful if such legislation
will be enacted at the present session
of Congress. 1t is evident that the
lawmakers have been hearing from
home, especially on the matter of
additional taxes by which the $1,000
600, 600 needed for the proposed bonus
was to be raised. and the measure has
suffered sudden decline in popularity.
The bonus bill, as finally framed by
the Republican members of the house
ways and means committee, got no
farther than the party caucus. There
1t struck such storm of opposition that
the bill was hastily referred back to the
committee again for revision, especially
on the taxation features. The COM
mittee is not expected to complete this
revision before the latter part of May.
1t is virtually certain that no bonus
bill will be passed through both houses
before the recess in June for the
national conventions. Whether any
bill of this kind can be passed at all
during the present session of Congress
appears very doubtful. AS soon as one
change in the pending measure is sug-
gested new opposition bobs up, and
many members are fast coming to the
conclusion that it may be better to
risk losing some soldier votes than to
face the protests of the majority of
the American people at this time.
The whole fight centers around the
revenue provisions, although consider
able objection is being raised to the
land settlement features of the meas
ure. 1t now seems probable that in
revising the bill the ways and means
committee will eliminate the one per
cent. tax on retail sales which was to
raise more than half of the money
necessary to carry out the soldier
bonus program. What levies will take
its place and raise $40. 900, 900 the sales
tax would yield no one seems to know.
just at that point the whole revenue
fight comes to the front again.
