BONUS URGED AND
 PLAYED IN SENATE
Plan Advocated By McCum- Der Is Subject of Bitter
 Onslaught By Borah
By Associated Press

Washington, June 23.--Proposals to pay in cash, valuable services or land bonus to former service men were advocated in the Senate today by Senator McCumber republican. North Dakota, and made the subject of savage onslaught by Senator Borah. republican, Idaho.
 Senator McCumber earlier in the day discussed the bonus bill along with other fiscal legislation with President Harding and after leaving the White House said his conference had given him the feeling that the President expected bonus legislation to be enacted at the present extra ses- sion.
 j Senator Borah launched his attack principally at the method and delax involved in the making of payments under tie bill, declaring it tdiscredi- table to the republican party The courageous thing to do," he said, Ifs to tell the soldiers you cannot pay tHrui III Sd5iis
 Senator McCumber, attacking war time profjteering, said the adjusted compenss ton was a matter of justice, and that the word bonus" had re- suited in unjustified criticism.
 If the republican party is cour ageous and honorable,it it will send this Dill back to committee Senator Borah. asserted, and do one of two things; tell the country and the sol liers the bonus can't be paid in cash. or face the prospect of doing it. This bill Undertakes to promise four hil- lions in cash to the soldiers. and to promise to the taxpayers that it1will not cost them anything.
 T venture to say that every service man understands that it is a proposi-
 ion to give him $500 or $500 in cash, h fact it proposed to give him $50 in Iuly, 1922. and then $50, every four or five months thereafter. Why the delay. if this is moral obligation or our country. a delay for three years and u half after the war? It is be cause VIC dare not put upon OUT con, stituents this 5000. 900 ,0o0 obligation and then go out and tell them it is done. The scheme is unjust to the soldier the taxpayer and discredita- bie to the Senate of the United States.

RIGHT TO ISSUE STOCK
 THAT HAS No PAR VALUE

Montgomery, June 23.-(Special) ] Constitutionality of the act of the legi stature of 1918 giving corpora tions the right to issue stock with no par value was sustained by the su- preme court Thursday in the case Of .E. r. Randle vs. Winona Coal company and others. From the War ker circuit court. Randle sought to prevent the corporation from chang ing it's system of stock whereby there would be certain number of shares without par value instead of cer- tain number with par value. He contended that non par value stock was prohibited in Alabama by sec tions 234 and 237 of the constitu tion.
 The supreme court held that there is nothing in the constitution to pre- vent the sale Of non par value stock when all requirements of the act Of 1g1Y have been complied with This suit was of great interest to several large corporations of Alabama be- cause it determined whether or not they may establish the new system, which has become popular through- : out the United States.

HARDING MOVES ID SPEED TARIFF AND LEGISLATION
Calls Chairman Fordney to White House to Discuss Possibilities of An
 Early Passage
By Associated Pres.

Washington, June 23.--Presfdept Harding took a hand in the Iegisls tive programme today in an effort to speed up enactmment ot tariff and tax legislation by calling Chairman Fordney of the House ways and means committee to the White House 10 discuss the possibilities of early passage of such laws.
 Meanwhile. the suggestion was re- newed in the Senate by Senator Wat son of Indiana. a republican member .ot the finance committee, that tax revision be placed ahead of tariff Legislation. The question gave lead CTS some trouble early in the extra session, and its revival today made 1t appear that another effort would be attempted to subordinate tariff te taxation in the legislative pro. srsmme.
 MT. Fordney informed the Presi. dent that the republican committe, draft of the permanent tariff bill would be ready by Monday or Tues. day for consideration of the full com mittee. He did not indicate how much time would be required for consideration Of the bill by the whole committee membership. although ho explained that B caucus of House re- publicans would be held before the bii' is submitted formally to the House.
 Support Is Pledged
 Senator Watson's suggestion led to floor statements by half dozer republican and democratic senators that they would support his pro posal.
 The country is in the midst of ap intense economic reaction from the war" Senator Watson said. This is not the fault of legislation. Tns country can rest assured that 10th the tariff and revenue bills will pass but ms own thought is that we can noJ revive business until we firs. repeal the excess profits taxes and the higher surtsxes upon income.
 They are depressive influences oa business, even thought they are not to be paid, because the business de- precision will reduce their yield to the vanishing points. The situation condems labor to idleness and the train of economic woesY
 Why look so fiercely at us dem. ocratss' Senator Pomerine, Ohio, said.
 'I was not looking fiercely but ptyingly' Senator Watson retorted T ani not criticizing or blaming l anybody. We can expect the general tariff bill to be reported to the House within 10 days, and to be enacted within three weeks after that II | Y in take some time for the tariff bill to get through the Senate fi- rance committee four or five weeks
 Within that period we may expect the House 4o pass the revenue bill and that bin I hope to zee taken up. and passed in the Senate before the tariff bill
 We can formulate a tariff pill bat with the present disturbance of International exchange, the derangs- 1urnt of economic life all over the globe, conditions inevitably wit make some details of any bill w1 bring out obsolete within SIX months. On the other hand. if we pass the revenue law, business will have some reassurance it will know what it's burdens are to be, the direct burden it has to carry. Then we can take ul, the tariff and the other ques- ticns which perplcx' us
