FRAMED TODAY

BY A. O. HAYWARD.
international News Service.

A sales tax to pay the soldiers
bonus is being framed today by
the tax division Of the Republi-
can members of the House Ways
and Means Committee.
Two general plans for the tax
are under consideration. They
are:
/. A tax on specific articles
when sold, raising $5O0,00O,OO0 a
year. -,
2. A general sales tax with
specified exemptions, raising $780,
100000 a year.
The first plan was advocated by
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon
and tax experts Of the Treasury De-
partment as most feasible because
collections could he made easier and
at less expense. The tax would vary
from 2 to per cent.
The second plan provides for a
straight manufacturers sales tax OF
per cent with a list OF exemptions.
Both plans would put the tax on
producers or WHOLESALERS, neither pan
contemplating a tax on retail sales
or a turnover sales tax.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-James A,
Stillman will appeal from the decision
of Supreme Court Justice Joseph
Morschauser in Montreal to take
testimony for Mrs. Stillman in her
defense against the divorce proceed
ings brought by her husband.
The bankers determination was
announced by Cornelius j. Sullivan,
his personal counsel. Mr.. Sullivan
said that the appeal would be made
Immediately. so that argument might
be heard by the appellate division on
March 6, one week before the Cana

The appeal does not act as a stay
of Justice Morschauser's order. but
the decision may be announced be
fore the foreign hearings begin. II
the appeal is decided in the banker
favor. the Canadian evidence will be
made null and void.
Friends of Mr.. Stillman expressed
that the whole case was
turning in the bankers favor and
that his side of the controversy VIII

The appellate division of the Su

that he is the father of Guy, her

MARYLAND FILM MEN
PROTEST CENSOR BILL

ANNAPOLIS Feb. 22.-Members
of the Moving Picture Exhibitors
League. headed by Harry r. Wolf,
their attorney. suggested Yesterday
to the house ways and means com
mittee a number of amendments TO
the bill to further regulate their husi'
ness introduced by Delegate Ristcau,
the woman member of the house.
The amendment most stressed was
one giving persons accused of viOlat t.
ing the regulations of the board OF
censors the right to jury trial, which
is denied both in the present law
and the new bill.
Consideration also was given to an
other bill even more stringent than
the Risteau bill, which is sponsored
by the Citizens League of Maryland
for better moving pictures. The
hearing then degenerated into a. bit.
ter but somewhat humorous debate
between II. d. Bennett, representing
the Citizens League, and the ex.
hibitors.

of Influence.
By international News Service.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 22.--George
Washington still exercises over the
nation he nursed TO strength an In
fluence that gides her to greater
glory, Vice President Calvin Coolidge
declared today in a Washington's
birthday address at John Hopkins
University. The Vice President
pointed TO the recent armament
conference in the National Capital
as the greatest confirmation" that
the spirit of Washington still lives.
Unto America there has been
granted possession Of great power
which carries with it great obliga-
tions," Coolidge said. Our domestic
burdens are great, but the resources
with which they can be met are still
greater.
There is no way to establish a
better relationship among the
people of this nation save through
each making great sacrifice. 1t Is
not in the laying on of force, but IN
the development of the public con-
science that salvation lies.
America stands ready to bear it's
share of the burdens of the world.
but it cannot live the life OF other
peoples; it cannot remove from them
the necessity of working out their
own destiny. 1t recognizes their in
dependence and their right to estab-
lish their own form Of government,
but America will Join no nation in
destroying what it believes ought to
be preserved. nor in profaning what
il believes ought to be held sacred
We are at peace with all peoples.
I'VE have adopted toward the
world the policy of Washington, not
of repression, not of dictation, net
Of coercion, not of Imperialism, but
a policy of cooperation, relieving
distress, of forbearance, of helpful
ness, of sympathy, of forgiveness: a
policy which is. first of all, Ameri-
can. but a policy above All, OF faith
in the sanction Of the universal con
science of mankind. That sanction
is eternal"
In a defense of the Four-Powe'
Treaty. now pending ratification in
the United States Senate, Coolidge
declared that it was the voice of the
American people demanding that the
promise of permanent peace be full.

[AT BRIDESMAIDS WILL WEAR AT PRINCESS MARYS WEDDING
TO CONGRESS FOR
ACTION ON SOLDIERS BONUS
WITH SALES TAX TOPAY IT

We respectfully petition Congress to pass the sol
ders bonus act without further delay and also to levy
sales tax to obtain the money to the bonus, tor
the following reasons:
FIRST-Pubic opinion throughout the United
States Is undenaby in favor OF the soldiers bonus,
shown by the decisive majority in every State IN
which a popular referendum has been taken-n
Maine by to /; New Jersey, 81 to /; New York,
nearly to /; Rhode Island to l; Wisconsin, to
I; Oregon, 2 to l; Washington, 2Ys to l; and SO on
SECOND-We believe that Congress, if permitted
to vote the soldiers bonus, will favor with even
greater unanimty regardless of party, than the popu
lar majority by which the people in twenty-five states
have already approved it, believe that the soldiers
bonus cannot and ought to be defeated and that
the longer it is postponed the greater the injustice.
TEIIRD7-We believe the new tax scheme proposed
by the Ways and Means Committee is only a little
tmeeeent postage and for three-cents-a-gallon
tax gasoline. Proponents of such taxes oppose
any soldiers bonus whatever and hope by linking it
with such new, destructive, and unpopular taxed to
kill the proposition altogether.
FOURTH-Ifthe soldiers bonus is not only right
but inevitable, and if the United States is not to lag
behind England, France Italy, Canada and Australia.
which have already paid liberal soldiers bonuses then
our payment is already long overdue, not debt
flor debt to the soldiers never be paid] but
just tribute to the valor and the sacrifice OF the
who won the war.
FIFTH-The only question that remains is: ~
what system of taxations shall the money be raised!
Not by bond issues, because it is against the trad
tona policy of the United States to increase debt in
time of peace Not by any irritating, unreasonable, or
destructive tax individuals, business, industry,
because we already have too many such taxes.
small general sales tax will raise more than enough to
pay the soldiers bonus; it will bear heavily upon
one. If the experience of Canada and our own Philip
pine Isands, where the sales tax is in operation,
peated the system will meet with such favor that it
will become one of the approved methods of raising
necessary after the soldiers bonus has been
