Senator William NJ. Calder said last
night in an address at the dinner OF

merce at the Hotel McAlpin that he
saw small chance Of any considerable lie
reduction in taxes in the next genera
tion. He pointed out that even with a
$1,000, 100000 saving over last year, the
government was going to spend $500
100000 this year. whereas it's expcnd-
lures before the war aggregated only
$3.50 100000 year.
He said that for the remuneration
of veterans of the war he favored q
plan of paid-up insurance, but would
like to avoid n bonus Of any kind for
the able bodied. The government had
spent $450,O0o0o0 in a year for the
relief Of disabled veterans. he said, ex-

at this stage that they eanaot break

These guarantees are all in the ma

a second line Of action that Is gain

France and Germany call separate

these two countries. In this conference
the correspondent is told, Belgium

would demand from Germany the abro-

also parts of Germany along the Polish

From Ths Tribunes Woahfn0toa BHreGtt
WASHINGTON, April 24.-Scnate
Finance Committee Republicans to-day
gave a hearing behind closed doors to
Hanford MacNider, national com
mander OF the American Legion, and
Robert G. Wood side, commander in
chief Of the Veterans OF Foreign Wars,
but did not arrive at any definite plan
for revision Of The House bonus bill.
II WAS made clear to Senator Nc
Cumber, chairman. and other Finance
Committee Republicans that the veter-
ans would like to see the House bill
put through in much the same form as
it stands Captain Woodsidc urged
that the original plan Of paying the
veteran his adjusted compensation,
plus 40 per cent in paid-up policy
or certificate plan, be substituted for
the present plan Of % per cent. This
would add materially to the cost Of
the bonus
After the meeting Senator McCumber
declined to make any prediction as to
the exact form the bonus bill will take
He will insist on reporting to the Sen
ate with the least practicable delay,
and he expects the blu TO pass.
Senator Watson, of Indiana, told the
veterans at to-day's meeting that the
House bill az it stands cannot pass the
Senate and that if it passed as il
stands the President would veto it.
Nevertheless, there are strong indica-
tions the majority of the committee
will not depart very far in principle
from the House bill, except as to the
land settlement feature, which will be
rejected.
Changes in House Bill Certain
Representatives Of the veterans were
asked to consider different plans OF
financing the bonus and paying the
compensation, and to report to the
Finance Committee Republicans at a
further meeting tomorrow.
The maximum of the cash payment
will be made 800 instead Of $50 The
cash requirement probably viii be met
by an issue Of certificates OF indebted
ness. The plan Of issuing service GER
tifcates on which loans can be OBJ
tanned will be retained in the Finance
Committee bill, though probably with
some alterations from the House pro
visions.
In a general way it was said after TO-
days meeting that the veterans were
strongly insistent on having a loan
feature to whatever the government
gave them in the way OF certificates or
pad-up insurance policies. 1t is un-
derstood Senator McCumber believes
it will not do to provide bill which
lacks loan provisions.
Senator Smoot presented the insur-
ance plan. of which he is the advocate,
to the meeting. but the veterans we're
not disposed to favor it and it was
voted down on tie vote b. the
Finance Committee Republicans last
Saturday. The objection of the vet
Grams to the Snoot policies is that they
would not be negotiable for loans.
Senators at the meeting to-day were
McCumber, Watson, smoot, Sutherland
and Curtis.
