BROTHERS TO PAY
 BONUS TO SOLDIERS
 UNDER KOPP'S PLAN
Iowa Progressive Republican De mands That War Millionaires
 Be Compelled to Disgorge.

Congressman William F. Kopp of the First Iowa district, believes that the men who gathered in millions during the war should now be com pelled to- contribute the money neces- sary to pay the bonus sought by the former service men.
 On the day that President Harding appeared before the Senate to urge that the bonus be pigeon-holed Mir. kopp introduced the following reso- lution providing for survey of war profits:
 "Whereas, during the late war a large number of shameless and con sciencelcss proftccrs took advantage the American people and plundered and robbed them in frightful and shocking manner; and
 "Whereas, by such plundering and robbery more than 23,ooo new mil lionaires were created in America, an average of one new American million aire for every four American boys that lost their lives in the service of their country; and
 "Whereas said profteers, by their wicked and disloyal methods brought about a large part of the nations debt, which is now such a burden up on the American people, and for the payment of which the American peo- pie, including the ex-service men, are now subj jeCted to crushing taxation; and
 "Whereas said profiteers are now living in unparalleled luxury, while great numbers of the ex-service men are in actual want and distress ;and "Whereas we paid the ex-service men, who offered their lives for our country, the paltry sum of a dollar a day; and
 ''Whereas we owe the ex-service men solemn debt, one that the conscience and patriotism of the American people will not permit to go unpaid; and
 ''Whereas the Secretary of the Treasury has stated that there IS now no available income from which said debt can be paid; and 'Whereas, said prohteers should be held up 10 the everlasting scorn of the American people and should be | compelled to pay said debt from their stolen wealth; Now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, ThA a select committee of seven members of the House be appointed by the speaker of the House to investigate and procure all facts relating to said war prOhteers, to secure their names, to have said names published i'll the Congression- al Record, and 10 devise plan | whereby a bonus or adjusted compen- sation can be paid to the ex-service
 men by a levy of a special tax fo1
 that purpose upon said prohteers. That the Secretary of the Treas
 ury be, and he hereby is, directed tc | furnish to said committee the names
 of all individuals, firms and corpora
 tions called for by said committee l together with the reported incomes
 of said individuals, firms and corpora
 tions since the late war began, as
 shown by the records in the treasury | department"

Henry Ford Has No
 Cause For Crouch

Henry Ford is not worrying over the industrial depression. He rambles merriIy along making little Fords and paving his bills Last month his fac tories turned out o7,ooo cars at a profit of $I8oI0 to the car. His az gregate profit amounted to $I8,ooo.- GOO, current bills were all paid and SC, 100000 were put to surplus account, At the same time he reduced the price 10 the ultimate consumer $25 per car. Neither did he cut wages of his em- ployes. No manufacturer ever before did the volume of business or reaped the profit of Henry Ford, and yet he is not the subjed of adverse criti- cism The reason is that he deals honestly with everybody, even those who ride in his cars. The Ford is sold in every country where money circulates. Perhaps MT. Ford owes his phenomenal success to having kept out of the clutches of Wall street.

secretary of the United Mine Workers
of America, appearing today before the
senate committee considering the Calder

FAMINE CAUSES
THOUSANDS DEATHS
Seven Provinces of China Lose Many
People Through Ravases of
Starvation.
(RY Associated Pressl

SHANGHAI, Jan. 31.-When people
were dying by thousands and the full
horrors of winter time famine began
to be felt in the great belt. of seven
provinces in northern China where no
harvests have been gathered this year
Chinese newspapers that are printed
in the International Settlement OF
Shanghai, openly published the charge
that misuse was being made of fam
inc relief funds by Picking government
officials.
One Of these papers, the Sin Wan
Pao, asserted that famine relief funds
were being diverted to the uses of a
political clique at Picking and the
paper urged that the strictest foreign
and Chinese supervision be imposed
upon distribution funds.
1t was after these charges had been
made public that the Shanghai Fam
inc Relief association and the Shang-
hal Missionary Association telegraph
ed messages to Picking in connection
with. famine relief work.
In the messages of the Shanghai
Famine Relief association, addressed
30 President Hsu Shih-Chang, the
government was asked to announce
without delay a definite policy for
carrying out famine relief work. The
telegram emphasized that the charit-
able public, both Chinese and foreign,
require a clear statement from the
government as to what steps 1t intends
to take to meet present conditions in
the north and it was made plain that
immediate action was expected.
Measures the Picking government
adopted to obtain famine funds in
cluded surtaxes of certain kinds and
increased railway fares on govern
ment lines.
The message that was forwarded by
the Shanghai Missionary association
was addressed to the British and
American ministers and requested
them to urge the Chinese government
to issue an early report on famine re-
lief surfaces and intimate how and
when the funds will be employed
