cal persecution" Republican leaders,
though sympnthizng with Mr.. New
berry, agreed that me had adopted a
wise course.
TWO soldiers bonus bills have been
introduced in the house, and both
OF them involve modification Of the
'olstcad prohibition act for both pro-
vide for financing the bonus by taxes
on liquors now classed as Intoxicating.
Tho bill introduced by Representative
Hill of Maryland provides that the
bonus be financed by Il 20 per cent tax
on beer and cider containing not more
than "75 per cent alcohol. The meas
ure sponsored by Representative Brit
ten is the old bill amended so that
the necessary funds shall be raised
by tax Of so Il barrel on domestic
beer. $40 barrel on imported beer,
$40 gallon on imported champagne,
So a gallon on imported still wines,
and 50 q gallon on domestic wines.
Whether either or both Of these bills
are fnthered hy the "wet" organiza.
tons is not stated, but the coupling
Of the bonus and the libcralizing OF
the VolStead act may turn out to be Il
clever and winning move. The Asso.
