Washington, Nov. 5.-The fight
over the soldier bonus was in full
swing tonight in the senate with so
many senators desiring to speak that
there was doubt final vote could be
reached before Monday.
The first proposal taken up was
that by Senator Reed to continue the
excess profits tax as a means of fl
nancing the "five way" adjusted
compensation plan. Should this. be

Carolina, and Walsh of Massachu-

day." said Senator LaFollette, "that
wealth defies the government, that
it will not pay its taxes, but the
official head of this government has
laid it down as a proposition-and
I am going to bring it before the
country-that we cannot make wealth
pay and that we might as we'll ac-
cept that proposition; tht we have
got to establish a system of taxation
that will make he people pay that
wealth will not bear its share. That
is the declaration and it comes i'm
pudently and brazenly from the head
of the fiscal department of this gov
ernment. He ought to be retired from
his place for making that sort of
declaration"
Senator Watson took sharp issue
with Senator LaFolfette's iinterpre-
tation of Mr.. MELONS testimony be-
fore the senate finance committee
when the tax bill was being drafted.
Watson To Defense
"The secretary" declared Senator
Watson, "did not say, and the Sec

vEGO HAIR PLANT is

Suspected AS CAUSE
hraaa aas
- Run Away After Dis
covery of Flames

Fire destroyed the plant of the
Vego Hair Manufacturing Company
this morning. following the discovery
of the flames at 1890 o'clock. The
loss will approximate $4,000. The
origin of the flames is believed to
have been incindiary. Chief Philips,
of the fire department, said that when
he arrived the plant was completely
enveloped in flame. He could not tell
where it started.
Arthur Selle, president of the COM
pany, said that when he arrived at
the plant Watchman Stevens told him
that he had seen man running away
from the lot soon after he noticed
an unusual light indicating a fire.
When the firemen arrived the plant
was too far gone to prevent total
loss. Mr. Selle estimated that the
loss would be between $4,000 and
$4,000, only partly covered by in
Surance.
Walkers Car Burns
While the firemen and nocturnal
celebrants were watching the flames
at the hair works another alarm was
sent in and there was a wild rush to
Palatka Heights where it was dis
covered that w. w. Walkers auto
mobile had caught fire while Mr..
Walker was ploughing through the
sands. Mr.. Walker was unable to
extinguish the flames and the car
was totally destroyed.
