MELLON BONUS
PLAN CRITICIZED
Proposal to Tax Light Wines
And Beer to Aid Soldiers
Causes Protest
FOOLISH" SAYS
REP. VOLSTEAD

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-con-
gress yesterday threw up its hands
in astonishment at the proposal put
forward by Secretary Mellon for
raising the funds necessary for a sol
diers' bonus by placing a tax on light
wines and beer. Representative Vol
stead, OF Minnesota. chairman OF the
Judiciary Committee. said he would
"lynch" the plan II It was embodied
in an official communication TO the
House.
Harsh criticism OF the Treasury
Secretary came from both prohibi-
tionists and former service men, the
'drys" asserting Mr.. Mellon is endea-
ivoring to nulhfy the, Eighteenth
Amendment and the former soldiers
condemned him for attempting TO
hitch the liquor question on TO the
bonus"
: Some Republican members charg-
ed Mr.. Mellon, who has been opposed
to the bonus idea, is trying ito lift
the taxes from the wealthy and make
the man who would drink a glass OF
beer pay the bonus, because he knows
Congress is going to pay the bonus
anyway"
Representative Murphy, OF Ohio
characterized the suggestion as "an
/ insult" II am opposed to It and
resent IT," he said. 1T is an insult to
the intelligence Of the American peo-
pie"
Those less prejudiced on the pro-
hibition question said the plan is not
feasible in view OF the recent passage
OF the Willis-Campbell bill prohibit
ing beer as a medicine. Representa-
tive Volstead. Of Minnesota, guardian
OF all prohibition legislation. simply
laughed when asked TO O0soment.
Its all foolishness" Mr.. Nolstead
said. It's all talk. Nearly all the
States have laws prohibiting beer as
a medicine now, and the claim $780,
O00. 900 could be raised by taxing it
in the States, where It could be man
ufactured, or distributed. or sold. is
preposterous"
Representative stephens OF Ohio.
Endorsed the suggestion. saying It was
an excellent idea and provides for
the solution OF two pressing prob
lens at one stroke. I am for it,"
Senator McCumber Of North Da-
kota, who led the fight for the bonus

imputation that the Secretary had

Ornery Animal Is
Offered for Sale

Grenada, Miss.-The tax su-
per,asors Of Grenada county
have reduced the assessment on
w. w. Whitaker's mule from
$50 to $50. the value originally
placed on the animal by Its
owner, after having raised the
assessment to the larger figure.
In a letter to the supervisors
Mr.. Whitaker states:
I'm valuing this mule to the
assessor Mt $40 l was extremely
liberal with the county. 1t
would have seemed too ridlcu-
lous to have placed him Mt his
real value, which. at the time Of
falling values, could not have
exceeded $40.
II hereby make this PROPOSE
ton to any member Of the
board, to any other citizen OF
the county or state: Give me
500 and take the mule, and may
the good Lord be with you I'M
til we meet beyond the river.
