SENATORSFR0M
MARYLAND FOR
SALES TAXPLAN
Both Favor This Method for
Raising Funds to Meet
Bonus.

The Maryland delegation in Con.
gress Is split or nOncommittal on
President Harding's firm position
that a soldier bonus must be fl
nanced by the imposition Of a sales
tax.
It have voted for a sales tax when
ever 1t came before the Senate, and
believe in the general principles of
such a tax" said Senator o. h.
Weller. Il do not care TO comment
at this time on my views regarding
a soldier bonus. ] shall probably is

to be changing almost constantly

Senator Joseph I. France likewise
Is a believer in the sales tax. He
said:
1T is known that / am an advo-
cate of sales tax, which l think
might relieve TO a great extent our
present hodge podge system of taxa
ton. AS to the bonusl l have no
statement to make today, except that
I am giving 1t deep study and had
decided to make some formal an.
nouncement on this point in the
near future.
I'm the first place, l do not know
whether the American soldiers want
a bonus. l receive many conflicting
letters and statements on this point
| am not fully convinced whether or
not we are able at this time to finance
a bonus and have this under con
sideration also. Furthermore, l have
suggestion of my own which !
think worth while. l would accom-.

proposition that cash soldier entitled

IF we are to spend three billions
for a bonus, what better plan could
be devised than that the soldiers who
feel so inclined. and I believe most OF
them would, should donate their
share of the money to a system OF
education in honor Of the American
soldiery.

Chairman Fordney was sure to-

IT could not pass with a sales tax

PETITION 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 pay the bonus for
the following reasons:
States is undenably in favor of the soldiers bonus,
shown by the decisive ma jority in every State in
which a popular referendum has been taken-in
Maine by to l; New Jersey, 81 to |; New York,
nearly 2 to l; Rhode Island to /; Wisconsin, to
l; Oregon, to l; Washington, 2Ka to l; and SO on.
SECOND-We believe that Congress, if permitted
to vote the soldiers bonus, will favor it 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 not to be defeated and that
the longer it is postponed the greater the injustice
THIRD-We believe the new tax scheme proposed
by the Ways and Means Committee is only a little
less Objectionable than Secretary MELONS proposal for
three-cent postage and for a three-cents-a-gaon
tax on gasoline. Proponents of such taxes oppose
any soldiers bonus whatever and hope BY linking IT
with such new, destructive, and unpopular taxes to
kill the proposition altogether.
FOURTH-f the 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 as debt
flor our debt to the soldiers never be paid but
just tribute to the valor and the sacrifice of the
men who won the war.
FIFTH-The only question that remains is: BY
what system OF taxatlons shall the money be raised!
Not by bond issues, because it is against the radi-
tonal policy of the United States increase debt in
time of peace Not by any irritating unreasonable, or
destructive tax individuals, business, or industry
because we already have too many such taxes. A
small general sales tax will raise than enough to
pay the soldiers bonus; it will bear heavily upon no
one. If the experience of Canada and our own Philip
pine Islands, where the sales tax in operation re-
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
paid.

u. S. SEEKS TURK PACT
Secretary Hughes Plans Separ-
ate or Commercial Treaty.
May Join Allies in Negotiations With
KemaIists-Awaits Action of
Lausanne Conference.

Washington, Nov. 16.-The United
States will not hesitate to negotiate
one or more separate treaties of amity
and commerce with Turkey and pos
sibly with the Allied powers in or
der to safeguard American interests
in the Near East.
While this government is combining
it's participation in the Lausanne con-
ference to official observers, there will
probably result from the conference
one or more treaties of amity and COM
merce. Whether it will be necessary
to negotiate treaty with Turkey
alone depends on the character Of the
settlement of Lausanne and particular
" on the degree of independence with
which Turkey energies from the con-
ference.
Whether or not the treaties, protect
ing American interests as outlined in
the aide-memoire sent to London,
Paris and Rome by Secretary Of State
Hughes, will be negotiated separately
with the allied powers and with Tur-
key or negotiated Jointly, this govern
ment intends to secure adequate
treaty guarantees for every phase of
iaEerest enunciated by the secretary

Defense Auainst Airnlanes.

Beams of fire as a means for rem
dering airplanes useless as weapons Of
war is the invention OF a Yorkshire
.(Eng.) research chemist. He claims
to be able to destroy hostile aircraft
flying as high as five miles by means
of huge flames of fire whose terrific
heat will dissolve the steel structure
Of plane. He proposes to project
the beams or flames somewhere in the
same fashion that ray of light Is
projected by searchlight. Instead Of
the ray shooting into the heavens, a
beam of fire which can ignite the OBJ
ject against which it is directed will
be under control. The liberation or
ignition of this gas will consume all
the aircraft over wide area and in
varying attitudes.
