was rejected today by the Senate,

All those supporting the Smoot
plan were republicans. The demo

In the debate on the defeated man

publican leaders indicated that sales
tax might have to be provided FOR IN
connection with the Soldiers bonus
bill, which they predicted would be
passed at the next session OF Con-

Discussion Of the sales tax was
comparatively brief. Senator Smoot
was the chief speaker for the plan.

Senator Smoot contended that the

amply met" through the six sources
of revenue he proposed. He added
that he had reason to believe there
could be a reduction in the rate of
the tax after the next fiscal year.
Turning to the intricacies of pres

proposal presented the one hope for
genuine relief" in that respect.
The amount which he proposed to
levy. he continued. was so. small as
to be infinitesimal when considered in

Smoot that rs per cent of the people

LONDON. November "A. Bonar-
Law. one OF the most prominent men,
bers Of the unionist party and former
government leader In the house of
commons. conferred with Prime Min
lister Lloyd George last night and Is
taking a hand In the effort to reach a
settlement of the Irish question. The
Laws interview with MIR. Lloyd
George. said today that he would. II
necessary. bring Independent infiu-
ence to bear upon the extreme union
lists with the view to achieving COM
plete agreement.
The outlook for a successful con-
tinuance of the Irish negotiations was
regarded somewhat improved here
today because of recent suggestions
regarding listers possible share in
the settlement and the prospect that
Sir James Craig. the Ulster premier,
would take part in the discussions.
The fact that Ulster members of the
house of commons have said nothing
hostile in reference to the latest pro-
posals was regarded as good omen
but there was no definite indication
as to the attitude that Sir James
would take.
The government Is endeavoring to
HIlu meInO0 TO transfer TO the
Clster government powers which
would enable IT. to function without
delay, it was asserted by the Daily
Mail this morning. This might be
effected by an order in council, which
would obliterate the necessity OF
waiting for parliament to pass u
special bill.
The prime minister had an audience
with the king at Buckingham Palace
last evening. This was not due to de-
velopments in the Irish negotiations.
but followed the customary practice
that the premier see the king on his
return to London from Sandringham.
1t Is believed. however, that Mr. Lloyd
George reported to the king on the
