HOUSE READY
FOR LAWS ON
ARMY BONUS
(By United Press.)

tBy united freSS.)
Washington, April 3.-Framing Of
soldier bonus legislation will prob
ably be undertaken by the house
ways and means committee next
week as a result of the decision OF
Republican members of the COM
mittee and senate leaders that some
measure of this kind must be pass
ed this session.
Because of the fact that the leg
islation would have to be rushed, il
is probable that the bill will pro-
vide nothing more than a cash
bonus.
The bonus will probably be rails
ed by taxes, as the Republican
leaders have agreed that a bond is
sue would be unwise.
The tax. according to present
plans, will be a general tax on all
sales, which will be imposed in
addition to present levies. The
sales tax, according to estimate,
would raise $5,00O,OO0,00O a year
The amount necessary will not ex-
ceed $1,7Oo 100000, it is believed.

SEES FAILURE.
IN EFFORT TO
CHANGE G. O. P.
Homer Cummings Thinks
Hoover Started What
He Can't Finish.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.)

Washington, d. C.. April 3.-Ho-
mer Cummings. faithful Wilson
man, ardent Democrat, and level
headed chairman of the national
committee Of. his party, is about
the best posted man in the political
family Of President Wilson. His
remarks to group of correspond
ents are significant of what the real
leaders of democracy have in mind
for the San Francisco convention.
His discourse unfolds the strategy
Of his party.
ut is sad thing" said Mr..
Cummings, ito see an essential
Democrat trying to liberalize a
stand-pat party"
The reference was to Herbert
Hoover. in answer to a question as
to what Mr.. Cummings thought of
the former food administrators
letter anent the California primar-
les and his willingness to run on a
liberal Republican platform.
Democrats Admire Hoover.
There is no Disgusting the fact
that there has existed a warm ad-
miration for Mr.. Hoover in Demo-
cratic councils. That admiration
has been publicly chilled, but pri-
vately it has not altered the real
belief Of several Democratic lead
ers that Herbert Hoover is going
to be the next president of the
United States either on the Repub-
lican or Democratic or possibly on
an Independent ticket. They will
not admit this-but they think it.
Mr.. Hoover's effort to liberalize
the Republican party is regarded
by Mr.. Cummings as doomed to
failure just IS was the attempt of
Theodore Roosevelt. The wish may
be father to the thought, for the
Democrats don't want to see the
Republican convention in Chicago
adopt liberal platform and nom
mate Mr.. Hoover. They fear he
would sweep the country. Their
only hope is that the Republican
convention will fail to heed the
clamor for Hoover and nominate
somebody else.
On the Wrong Side.
Believing naturally that the Dem
ocratic party is the true liberal
party. Mr.. Cummings openly says
Mr.. Hoover is on the wrong side
Of the fence in trying to bring
about reform in the Republican
yard They think the specifications
he gave concerning middle-of the
road program peither extremely re-
dictionary nor extremely radical
will be found in the Democratic
platform. Obviously Mr.. Hoover's

Dublin, April g. - British mill
tary authorities throughout Ire

barrass the British authorities.
Fear Cork Disorder.
Military officials believed the
only possibility of an outbreak was
in the Cork district, where feeling
has been particularly bitter since
the assassination of Thomas Mac
Curtain, the lord mayor.
The inquest over MacCurtain's S
death was to be continued today
Sian Feihers predicted the jury
would find that he was killed by
the police. Dublin was plastered
with posters declaring that Mac
Curtain died patriot and a
martyr and denying the report
mat he had been killed by Sim
Fem radicals for disaffection.
A demonstration was planned
when the final verdict was an
pounced.

Explains Situation.
Mr.. Jacobson, in explaining the
situation, told The Argus that
while the railroads were under con-

wages, the demands being made
last October. In February. when it
was made known that the railroads
were to be returned to their OWL

demand. and this demand is now In
