The net gain made by tax pay

assets would be taxed at the full
rates under an amendment offered
by Senator Lenroot. republican,
wisconsin, and accepted.
Senator Simmons in urging in
the senate acceptance of his
amendment, said he believed that
was the intention OF President
Harding with respect to the bonus.
This view also was taken by Sem
ator McCumber of North Dakota,
one Of those in charge Of the tax
bill.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
the republican leader, took the po-
sition that the bonus should not
be contingent upon so uncertain
a proposition.

we undoubtedly shall" said Sena.

be real payment. This proposi-
tion, under the pretense of giving
bonus, gives only an uncertain

Washington, Nov. 4. The
American delegation to the confer
ence on limitation Of armament

tions was again in session today,
in Secretary Hughes office.
There is reason to believe that
the delegation has arrived at the
formula for limitations Of naval
armament which 1t Will present to
the conference as the American
suggestion. The absence OF navy
experts from today's session tend
ed to strengthen this view.
1t may be stated authoritative

as to ways and means of limitation
OF naval armaments will be given.

anything but unanimous conclu-

a. L. Men
Taboo Wet
Proposals

That the liquor interests tried
to gain the endorsement Of the
American Legion convention az
Kansas City for manufacture OF
wines and beers last week ana
were flatly turned down, was the
sentiment expressed by Colonel
George Al. White, Oregon delegate
who returned Saturday night from
the east In an interview TINS
morning Colonel White said:
1.-THE outstanding fact brought
out by the big annual convention
Of the American Legion is that the
five million ex-service men OF the
country are developing the sound
est kind of American citizenship
and cannot be fooled or used by
propagandists.
This was clearly shown many
times during the Kansas City
meeting which was attended by
10000 Legion members with To-
900 delegates sitting through ev-
cry session. The most forciDie
demonstration of their soundness
occurred when powerful interests
tried to get the ex-service men to
endorse government authority foi
manufacture of wines and beers, q
high revenue tax to be paid and
the proceeds used for soldier
bonus. The proposition was turn
ed down instantly and pronounced
an insult to the Legion. Not ever
the fact that few prominent LIE
gionaires had been converted t
the plan saved its advocates from
humilitating rebuke from tn
, delegation as a whole.
"The greatest figures OF Europ
came as special guests Of the lie
gion - Marshal Foch, Admira
Beattie and General Diaz--lead
ers of the effort that beat GeI
many, hailed their American CON
rades as 'buddies and said that tn
Legion is appreciated in Europ
fully as much as it is in Americt
1t developed that England an
France are reorganizing their vel
eran associations to conform wit

in view of having an internationa

Ceremony was dispensed with
so that the delegation might reach

fore the opening of the armament

France is ready to join in every
endeavor to avert new wars pro
vided she has nothing to fear for
her own security, which remains
one of the most solid guarantees of
the peace of the world" said Pre-
mier BRAND in a message to the
American people upon his arrival.
"Both our countries only en-
deavor to lead the men and peoples
of good will to peaceful and fruit
full work to reduce more and more
the risks of war" the premier de-
clared. To-day the world, which
is in such need of safety and rest,
wants not only soothing words,
but realities"
A crowd gave the premier and
his party rousing welcome as
they stepped ashore from the
steamship.

thought goes back to those who

whom the United States sent over

they had, back to those magnifi-
