rect language than in the ministerial
declaration.

CONGRESS WILL

relation to each other. President Hard
Ing is understood to hold that any
bonus bill for the soldiers must be In
complete eood faith and without any
camouflasing element that would turn
out to be hope still further deferred.
What this means is thar Harding will
probably want the bonus bill to carry

money for tho soldiers.
But when congress faces that reces-
si'y 1t is seriously embarrassed. A
sales tax has been suggested. and there
Arc some strong leaders in congress
who have stubborn faith in both the
necessity and the dcsirabiiity of that
form OF taxation. Nevertheless. any ac
curate reflection OF the present state OF
feeling about tho sales tax would show
that It Is not as popular now as 1t
Was some months ago. It would take
hard driving to put a sales tax thru
tho present congress.
Another suggestion has been made
that the sale OF drinks with an alco

The soldier bonus could be paid with
