grocery store and did considerable
damage to the whole stock.
On the left of the building occu-
pied by Fass was large store build
ing owned by L. Cottingham. The
high wall dividing the two stores dur
ing the process of the fire fell upon
the roof of the Cottingham store,
crushing in the roof, the spread of
which caused the whole wall to fall.
o. w. Jackson occupied the Cotting-
ham building and carried stock
valued at 100000 or more. This
stock as well as the store building is
in ruins from both fire and water.
Mr.. Fass' damage is unknown, with
reported insurance of $21 900. The

MORE DISCUSSION
ON BONUS BILL

Washington, Feb. 81. - The seven
Republicans of the house ways and
means committee who are charged
with solving the problems of financ-
ing the soldier bonus expect to get
down to brass t&cks tomorrow. Chair
man Fordney said late today after the
committeeman had had another gen
eral discussion of the whole question
with Secretary Mellon.
The treasury secretary was heard
behind closed doors but he was under
stood to have taken substantially the
same position that he did at the open
hearings two weeks ago when he re-
lterated his opposition to a bonus at
this time but declared that if such
Legislation was to be passed it should
be financed by a sales tax or some
other form of taxation
Asked what the treasury would do
if congress passed bonus bill as a
general charge against the treasury
Mr.. Mellon was said to have replied
that the amount would be paid by
issuing short term certificates. He
opposed this form of financing, how
ever, on the ground that it might
affect the interest rate on the refund
ing of certificates due in 1923. Some
members of the committee quoted the
secretary as saying in substance that
as between sales tax or bond issue
for the bonus he would recommend the
former.
Members of the subcommittee would
not anticipate committee action but
the general belief at the capitol con-
tinued to be that some form of sales
or manufacturers tax would be rec
commended. 1t was pointed out in some
quarters that with President Harding
opposed to both the original tax pro-
gram suggested and to the issue of
bonds, the field had been narrowed to
sales tax or the drafting OF
measure that would be geenral
charge on the treasury.
New York, Feb. 21.-Opposition by
the National Republican club to the
granting of federal bonus to "any
soldier who can not show wound or
who was not disabled in the service"
was recommended in resolution sub
mitted for action by the clubs com.
mittee at the regular monthly meeting
tonight. -. --,s, -,>f 80"
The report declared that "as party
politics" the proposed bonus legisla-
ton "spells suicide" while "as public
policy it is madness"
At the same time the committee re-
ported favorably a resolution calling
for a congressional inquiry into ex-
penditurcs of sums already appro-
priated for the aid of disabled vet
Grams Ito the end that the country
may be assured that the veterans are
receiving the fullest possible benefit
from the appropriations made in their
behalfN

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 27-Prohi-
bition has stimulated nation
wide spirit of thrift, according
to statements made today by
prominent bankers of Chicago
in discussing the subject Of
perpetuating the idea Of a booze
less nation.
These bankers assert that saw
ings accounts have steadily in
creased in size and numbers
since the enactment Of the Vol
stead act.
Bankers are explicit in their
statements that the absence of
saloons are largely responsible
for a much improved condition
in relation to the habit Of saw
ing earnings. That the masses,
especially the working class,
have profited by the order of
prohibition in the nation, not
only morally, but financially,
cannot be denied.
