Soldiers viii Psy themselves

The soldiers bonus issue has nov
become The football oil politics open
y aud without disguise. President
Harding has been for and against
the measure so often that we have
almost lost count of his changes OF
mind. Last week, however, be was
in favor of the measure but he dis
agreed with other Republican lead
ers as to the means of raising the
funds for paying of. And this is
the dilemma into which the Re-
publican party has come. The
leaders of the party want the sup.
port Of the world war soldiers Just
as they want the support of the
powerful financial and industrialIn-
tsrests butthey cannot have one II
they do not provide the bonus and
they cannot have the other if they
burden IT with the bonus.
The president evidently IS trying
to wiggle out Of the dilemma by
suggesting a general sales tax as the
basis for payment. This of course
will save the rich and powerful In-
teresis through the plsc ng Of the
burden upon the less powerful.
BUTT will not in any way meet the
views of the fighters themselves who
have been demanding a bonus on
the ground that others we're rolling
up millions while they were out
risking their lives for a soldiers
pay. Should the sales tax plan be
adopted the prodteers will escipe
and the people as usual will have to
carry the bag.
Under sales tax the prO6teer
will pay no more toward the bonus
than the soldier himself will pay
As a matter of fact the soldiers will
pay themselves under the Harding
plan. They will receive a lump
sum which for many of them will
soon be spent and which will leave
only the remembrance and the obi
CATION to pay back. The spending
may be matter of days but the pay
ing back will be matter of years
The soldiers themselves will suffer
as much as any others, if not more,
should they be deluded by this bit
of political bait Commercial Ap

reads as follows:
"When every farmer IN the South

and meat from his own pastures,
and disturbed BY no creditor and
enslaved by no debt, shall sit amid
his fields and orchards, his dairies
and barnyards, planting his crops in
