ASKS ONE BOARD
Santa Fe System Wants /. c. G..
to Eliminate.
Means Protest Against Laws in
Several States.

Washington, Oct 28-In behalf of
all the executive officers and directors,
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail-
road today asked the interstate COM
merce commission to permit retention
of the same men as officers and
directors not only of the corporation
itself, but as officers and directors of
scores of affiliated, controlled and
subsidiary companies operated in as
sociatiOn with the main system.
E. L. Copeland, secretary and treas
urer of the Santa Fe, said this after
noon that the action indicated by the
Washington dispatch simply was in
compliance with the Clayton act,
which provides:
after December 81, 1921, dt shall
be unlawful for any person to hold
the position of officer or director IF
more than one carrier unless such
holding shall have been authorized BY
order of the interstate commerce
commission"
In other words. officers and direc-
tors of the main Santa Fe system may
continue to be officers and directors
of the Santa Fe's subsidiary concerns,
if the application mentioned is al
lowed.
The Santa Fe is a Kansas corpora
ton, and its stockholders have their
annual meetings in Topeka; but most
of the subsidiary companies have their
headquarters in other states.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-A move 90
force the senate to vote on the SOL
diers' bonus bill as it was reported IA
vorably by the senate finance commit
tee and subsequently recommitted to
the committee at the request of Pres
ident Harding, was made in the senate
today by Senator Reed, Democrat. Of
Missouri, a member of the committee.
Reed offered the soldiers bonus bill
as an amendment to the pending COM
promise tax bill. 1t will necessitate
senate action and probably will reopen
debate on the long pending legislation
for the compensation of American
world war veterans.
Use Excess Profits Tax.
Senator Reeds amendment provid-
ed for the creation of a fund from ex-
cess profit taxes from which adjusted
compensation for veterans would be
provided, and become payable NOT

It proposed a tax of 20 per cent on
the invested capital of corporations up
to 20 per cent and a tax of 40 per
cent on such invested capital in ex-
raising the fund.
Reed attached the soldiers bonus
bill in its entirety to his proposal and
indicated that he would press for early
consideration of it.
Tax Bill Is Delayed.

today that the tax revision bill could
be passed by the senate by tomorrow

had not given up hope but the gen.
eral opinion seemed to be that a final
vote could not be had before next
Tuesday or Wednesday. Some SEN
ators thought 1t was more probable
that another week would be neces-
sary. Senator Penrose, of Pennsyl-
vania, in charge of the bill hoped to
dispose today of the corporation in
come tax controversy.
Many Amendments Pending.
There was pending an amendment
by Senator Walsh, Democrat, Massa-
chusetts, proposing a graduated tax
on corporations in lieu of the Is per
cent levy approved by the finance
committee There was no agreement
to limit debate on this.
Besides the Walsh amendment there
are pending or in prospect 142 amend
ments to the tax bill. These include
16 from the finance committee 81 ap-
proved by the majority of that COM
mittee and fifty-one drafted by indi-
vidual senators. These cover a wide
field, and include the Smoot sales tax
proposition, the compromise inherit
ance tax plan and changes in the So

Another amendment which, prom
ises to provoke protracted debate is
that by Senator Wadsworth, Repub-
lican, New York, proposing to tax
medicinal liquor at s6.40 a gallon

to provoke protracted debate This
amendment grew out of the wine and
