LITTLE HOPE FOR
CASH BONUS BILL
At THIS SESSION
TRepubIican A. p. Leased WIre1.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-An Ameri-
can Legion delegation was told by
Chairman Penrose of the senate
finance committee today that he would
favor increases in federal taxation II
necessary to provide a cash bonus for
war veterans. He expressed DOUBT
however, whether the legislation could
be put through in this session
Senator Penrose and Senator Nc
Cumber, Republican; North Dakota,
who has charge of the bonus bill. were
interviewed by the American Legion
representatives, including F. w. Gal
braith, national commander The eX-
ecutive COMMITTEES of the Legion will
meet Monday to discuss the situation.
The opinion that the people favor
adequate and satisfactory provision
for soldiers. their wives and relatives
was expressed by Senator Penrose.
II further told the committee" he
said. that the country was in a very
bad financial situation and hardly able
to meet it's requirements and that rev.
enue undoubtedly would fall off to n
very marked degree in the next fiscal
year.
AT the same time. I conceded that
it was the duty OF the government to
provide the revenue for this patriotic
purpose. and were it necessary that
an added tax be levied, I would favor
these taxes at this short session but
lit was obvious that this is impossible"

BRITISH PREMIER.
SAYS PREPARATION.
CLAIMS MUST BE.
PAID BY GERMANY.
Bill Formulated BY Supreme
Council just Claim And
Must Be Paid-Germans
Able To Bear Tax Burden

BIRMINGHAM, England. Feb. s.
The British premier's advice to Ger
many is to accept the bill for repara-
tons as formulated by the supreme
council
Our claim is a righteous one and
we must enforce it." he declared in a
speech here today. He replied to the
speech in the reichstag by DIR. Walter
Simons, in which the German foreign
minister stated that the reparations
plan could not be accepted by Ger
many as a basis for negotiations.
"A great part of this speech the
premier said, was based on a COM
plete misconception as to what had
been done at Paris. Such n1isconcep-
ton could be cleared up in the Lon
don conference. If a full bill were
sent Germany, according to the Yer
sailles treaty, she would be compelled
to accept it. but I fail to see how that
would improve matters and l advise
DR.. Simons to take the Paris bill.
'Ifi he has any alternative proposals
the allies are prepared to consider
them so long as the proposal repre-
sents a bona fide efforts to Hquidate
the liabilities of Germany. We are
willing that Germany should pay us
under conditions which best suit her
own means, requirements and re-
sources but if 1t is a mere attempt to
evade payment we cannot put up
with it"
The premier pointed out before the
last election he had emphasized that
Germany was morally bound to pay for
the wanton damage she had inflicted
but that one could only get from a
debtor what the latter was capable of
paying.
Germany, he said. had not yet been
taxed to the level of Great Britain and
France, and II was intolerable that a
country held responsible for the war
and which had suffered no damage
should have a lighter burden than her
victims
Speaking tonight, he again referred
to Germany
Exchanges will have to be stabil-
fed" he said. Il have an idea Ger
many is not trying to stabilize hers"
Germany. he continued, was a
strong and powerful nation and she
should be made to pay. He would tell
DIR. Simons when he met him in Lon
don that German was not making a
real effort to pay her way.
Referring to home conditions. the
premier declared that the nation was
simply going through difficulties in
evitable after great war. but he did
not doubt ii would weather the storm
as 1t did after the Napoleonic wars.
Let Us stand together he admon-
ished. 1T is unity that enabled us
to win. This is no time to be pulling
both ways"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5-Horrors of

amendment by Representative Mon
tague, Democrat of Virginia. to cut the
amount to s1,o00,000. however, was

Propose Fleet OF
High Speed Plane
Carriers For NAVY
Republican A. P. leased WLrel


WASHINGTON, Feb. 5-First steps
looking to the construction of a fleet
of modern high speed airplane car
riers for the navy were taken today in
congress.
Senator Gerry, Democrat Of Rhode
Island, introduced an amendment TO
the naval appropriation bill providing
for four such vessels to cost not more
than $24, SOC. 600 each. Before the house
naval committee Representatives Brit
ten, Republican of Illinois, and Oliver
Democrat of Alabama, announced that
they would present bills, each providing
for two airplane carriers.
All naval officers and Brigadier Cen
eral Mitchell of the army air service.
who have been testifying before the
house committee for two days, have
stressed the Importance of obtaining
such carriers as soon as possible. Gen
eral Mitchell said today American avi-
alton officers had little knowledge of
the uses of the proposed vessels because
Great Britain is keeping the data
secret
Representative, divers bill would set
$50, ,o00, 900 each as the limit of cost for
the two carriers and would provide that
until money was appropriated none of
the fund authorized for the battleships
Massachusetts and Iowa. already under
contract, could be available. The Brit
ten proposal would divert S52, ,0OO. 600
authorized for II destroyers, one trans
port and six fleet submarines, for the
two airplane carriers.
General Mitchell told the house com
mittee that a united air service would
save the government money and would
place the air service under flying of
ficers who would be interested in it's
development. Under present conditions
in both the army and navy, he said
aviation is under officers who are un-
sympathetic
Members of the navy general board
and Captain T. T. Craven, director Of
naval aviation, viii present the navy's
side of the case in opposition Monday.
The senate naval committee today
continued hearings on Senator Borah's
resolutions to suspend naval building
for six months while experts study
types of ships. Rear AdmiraIs w. S.

COAL INDUSTRY

[RepubIican A. p. Leased wirel


WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-Regulation
rising too high or going too low. was
advocated today before the senate
committee considering the Calder coal
regulation bill by DR.. G. O. Smith, di-
rector of the geological survey.
Further light on coal mining profits
of 1920 was also developed by re-
examination of d. L. Wing, statistician,
employed by the Calder investigating
committee, who cited some cases
where operators took as much as s7.91
profit margins on coal that cost $4.1x
to mine.
DIR. Smith was led into sharp tits
with Senator Reed. Democrat of Mis-
souri,, on cross examination, the latter
ing ''at John D. Rockefeller stabiliza-
ton of industry, to prevent conpe
tition.''
DR. Smith advocated government
regulation, but said he didn't favor
government operation of the mines.
You favor having the bituminous
industry combat the opening of new
mines, so that the big mines would
not have to face the competition of
the little new fellows?v asked Senator
Reed.
Yes. because the small mines are
not efficient, economic producers" Dr.
Smith said, adding that the object was
"stabilfzing business
Citing the organization in the steel
industry, Senator Reed said that 'all
you mean by stabilizing is organizing
to prevent competition, with the big

IRISH REPUBLICAN
ARMY ORGANIZING
FOR BITTER FIGHT

DUBLIN, Feb 5--A high officer of
the Irish republican army has given TO
The Associated Press statement on
the army and its operations. This is
the first authorized statement thus
made public, but the identity of the
officer and the circumstances of the
interview cannot be disclosed, nor is
the correspondent permitted to publish
the statistical information supplied re-
garding the total number of forces,
both regular and irregular. now in the
field.
The officer who will be designated as
Colonel k spoke freely. answering
every question. but he enjoined nom
publication of various statements,
which, he said, might give information
to the enemy
He denied the declaration of Major
General Strickland, in command of the
British troops, that the Irish republican
army organization was dismemberad
and repudiated the suggestion that the
remarkable activity in the last fort
night was a demonstration to disprove
the assertions that the morale of the
volunteers was impaired.
THE recent increase in the ranks of
the crown forces" he said, was only a
natural development due to the per-
fecting of our organization. From nSw
on there will be further extension and
intensification of our operations in all
parts OF the country.
Plan Systematic Campaign
He intimated that the republican
army would soon begin the issuance of
military communique, probably
weekly, and added:
Our system of communication is not
yet rapid, but it is certain.
He smiled at a reference called to
his attention that Michael Collins was
head of the republican army. saying:
'eThat Is a delusion persisted in not
only by the public, but by the British
government" He did not say whether
the direction of the republican army
was in the hands of one man or com
mittee. There is a large reward out
standing for the arrest of Collins.
Colonel x began:

country Our plan is to account for
every district either by battalion or
companies; every foot of ground is

Husband And Wife
Can't DiUide Joint
Income In Report

some confusion has existed in
the minds of not only income tax
payers, but also OF lawyers regard
ing the returns to be made to the
collector of internal revenue. The
confusion has grown out Of a deci-
sion as to a Texas case in allowing
a husband and wife domiciled in
that state to divide their commu-
nifty property income and each re-
port as gross income one-half Of the
community income.
1t was supposed by many that
that ruling would be generally ap-
plicable, but it has not been applied
to Arizona. On the contrary, Judge
Franklin yesterday received teie-
gram from the department OF the
treasury instructing him to refuse
to accept returns in which the in
come of community property is
divided in the returns by the hus-
band and wife. Therefore all such
returns will be rejected.
To the average income taxpayer
returns under the Texas ruling
would make little difference, but 1t
would make a vast difference in the
cases of large incomes where the
graduated tax is increased with the
size of the incomes.
