BONUS BILL REPORTED;
TAXES STOCK DIVIDENDS
House Committee Votes, Is to 10,
on Proposition; Protests Pour
ing In; Senate May De
feat Measure.

Washington. May 21.-The House
ways and means committee voted late
today to report out favorably the amend
ed soldier bonus bill. The vote was
l5 To 10.
Eight Democrats. with Representatives
Tilson and Treadway, Republicans, were
said by committee members to have
opposed reporting out the measure and
l3 Republicans. with Representatives
Carew and Dickinson, Democrats, were
said TO have voted favorably on the hnal
roll call.
Representative Fordney. chairman of
the committee said last night it was his
plan to get the bill before the House
Saturday under special rule. The rule
would permit one motion TO recommlt,
after which the vote would be on the
committee BILL Everyone comedies that
the bill as reported by the committee
will be approved by the House with very
little opposition.
Representative Garner, Democratic
whip and member of the ways and means
committee, said he believed at least 80
per cent of the Democrats in the House
would support the bill on final passage
and the Republican opposition is counted
as negligible.
The big fight on the measure came
earlier IN the day when three Republicans
joined with the 10 Democrats in inserting
provision for taxation of stock dividends.
The tax is to be 10 per cent and to be
retroactive from March Is. Prior to
this vote the committee rejected by
strict party vote of Is TO 10 the proposal
OF Representative Rainev, of Illinois,
for the taxation of war profits.
During consideration of the stock divi-

rather high, with charges being made
that it was inserted in an effort to assure
the final rejection of the entire bonus
bill. When Representatives Bacharach
Treadway and Tilson, Republicans, signI-
ted their intention 10 support the amend
ment members said Representative Long
worth. Republican, charged them with
breaking faith with their party.
Longworth, it was declared, emphatic
ally announced that the original Fordney
bin was approved by the Republican con-
ference last night and that It was approved
without any provision for taxation Of
stock dividends.
While the Republicans intend to push
the bill through the House to appease
the soldier vote protests are flowing
in from every part of the country. \
count was made of the protests received
early yesterday by Representative Frank
w Nlondell, Republican floor leader.
1t was said the count showed !, 1,024 pro-
tests. of which more than 400 We're from
cx-scrvice men who realize the tremendous
danger to the nation in adoption Of tht
legislation.
At the same time it is conceded that
the bill will not get through he Senate

ment insurance policy.
The taxation now provides for addition
al levies on incomes III excess OF S5,OOo
levy on stock exchange transactions, levy
on real estate transfers, levy on tobacco
and the levy on stock dividends.
A new phase of the bonus questions
popped up last night to plague some OF the
Republican leaders when farmers began
TO protest against taxation oil produce
exchanges. Ii was declared by these
farmers that the farmers of the entire
nation would arise in protest when they
learned what the taxation on produce
exchanges would mean TO them. That
the farmers will have to pay heavy
charge upon every farm product sold
through the exchanges has now become
evident, some of the farmers declared
today.

LAURENs, S. G.. JUNE %. 1920.

The Advertiser is not crank about
fast driving on the highways. We
see no objection to fast driving on an
open roadway with nobody to meet or
pass and no houses III view. Fast
drivers, however, should slow up
when passing people on the roads and
when passing houses alongside. Chill
drcn and grown people as we'll, are
liable TO step out behind a building
at any time and cause an accident that
,will be long remembered.
The strike is the order Of the day,
Every days news brings out a new
one. Industry of every kind is being
held up and the country is suffering
because Of them. The fundamental
cause of them, as We see it, is the
scarcity Of laborers in comparison
With the on-produccrs. Boys and
girls have been brought up to believe
that education unfits them for man
ual labor and big proportion of the
population has Quit it. The scarcity
Of workers has created shortage
which makes tho strike easy to put
across. There are no others to take
the strikers places. The country
needs more workers and fewer sales
men.
With the "old guard" in full control
Of the Republican party and a nominee
in close sympathy with the vested lin
tercsts, the Democrats have a grea;
opportunity to win out in the com
ing election on a safe and sane plat
form of AmericaniZation and a candi-
date whose sympathies are with the
organization. The Democratic party

on labor as laid down by the labor
unions, but it can offer some remedy
for present conflicts which could com
mand the sympathy and respect OF
workers as we'll as capital. Prohibi-
ton and the League Of Nations are the
outstanding issues at present. Scnti-
ment in the convention for modifica-
tion Of prohibition statutes will hard
~ be strong enough to place plank
in the platform. Endorsement OF the
League Of Nations with slight rcserva-
tions will most probably be found in
the platform, making the real issues
of the campaign on this and the labor
question. \ majority Of the people
