IN SHORT time I;
House Ways and Means
Committee Prepared to De-
bate Measure After Xmas

Washington. Dec. 1.-THE house,
ways and means committee now that
the tariff and tax revision are off its
hands for the present at least, will
take up the soldier bonus question i'm
mediately after the Christmas recess
Chairman Fordney announced today
that the committees first order of
business for the new year would be
consideration of adjusted compensa-
ton legislation. Its primary concern,
he added. would be to determine how
funds with which to pay a bonus can
be raised.
Will Be Divided.
The house membership, according
to present indications, will be divided
in its views as to how bonus payments
should be financed. The opinion ap-
pears to be general, however, that
such a bill must provide a means of
raising the funds it intends to dis
in the adjusted compensation measure
which received the approval of the
house during the last session but
which was placed indefinitely in the
committee in the senate.
Among the proposals now being put
forward as a means Of raising bonus
funds is either a manufacturer tax
or a general business sales tax. It is
also contended by some that If a bonus
is voted, it should in some way be
linked up with settlements by foreign
nations Of the debt owed the United
States.
House leaders said today there was
a growing demand among members,
most of whom will stand for re-elec-
ton next fall, for disposal Of the bonus
question at an early date.

INCOME TAX
BLANKS COMING
State Department is Mailing
Out Forms as Rapidly as
Possible.

!. Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 14.-The
state tax commissioners office is pre-
pairing to send out income tax blanks
for the year 1921, Lyman A. Baker,
secretary. said today. His statement
follows:
Z .-The tax department has received
the 1921 income tax blanks from the
state printer and is buGly engaged in
preparing to send blanks out to each
taxpayer who paid a tax in the year
1921. Failure to receive blanks, how
ever, will not relieve taxpayers of the
duty of filing report in case their
net income for the year 1921 ex-
ceeded their legal exemptions.
Blanks will be sent to every bank
in the state and to each county treas
urer for distribution to the public,
Two Rcpota CopsoHdated.
The corporation income and capi-
tai stock report has been consolidated
into single report which will relieve
taxpayers Of the duty ~ reporting q
large amount OF duplicate information
required under the income and CAPT
tai stock laws.
''The check made by the state tax
department at Washington, D. c.,
comparing federal and state reports
for the years 1918 and 1920 showed
the necessity OF more detailed infor-
nation from corporations. The state
report for the year 1921 has been
made as similar as possible to the
fetiefal report. There is considerable
difference In the state and federal in-
ules on the state blank correspond
