REPUBLICANS To
HOLD CAUCUS ON
SOLDIER BONUS
rRepublIean A. p. Leased Wire1

fRepublican A. p. Leased WireI
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Call for
q caucus Thursday night OF the Re-
publican members of the house on
the soldier bonus bill was issued to-
day. Immediate action on an ad-
justed compensation bill has been
demanded by q group of members
who were in the military service
during the war.
At the conference they plan to offer
a resolution instructing the ways and
means committee to proceed at once
to the drafting Of bonus measure.
The resolutions also provide that
when reported to the house, the
measure is to be the continuing bust
ness until passed.
House leaders said no effort would
be made at the caucus to instruct the
ways and means committee as TO now
it should provide the raising of nee
essary revenue. That question will
be determined, it was said, by the
committee.
Data on possible new methods OF
taxation to raise funds for a bonus
has been prepared by the treasury
formation of congress.
Treasury officials said, however,
that the department. would await re-
quests for such information before
transmitting it to congress. 1t also
was said that the treasury's position
on the advisability Of a bonus for
veterans of the world war was un-
changed, enactment of, compensation
legion under existing conditions be-
! ing viewed with disfavor.
In the event q bonus bill is enacted
treasury officials said, some tax
| would have to be provided. Use OF
| the allied debt as a basis for bonus
J financing was said TO be regarded as
! impractical.
! In the opinion OF the treasury, Of
| fIcials said, it would cost more tc

/ from the sale of bonds based on the
! debts of the allied nations than II
would to float the country's own OBJ

planned, should bonds representine
| Great Britain for approximately
/ $4,000, 900 be issued as part OF the
bonus payment plan, they would have
to be sold at a discount by this gov
ernment because they would be sub
| ject to the various forms of taxatlons
At the same time, it was added, the
government would have to guarantee
the foreign bonds the sale or whlcr
would be taking money out OF the IN
vestment market which otherwls'
might go toward American securities
| Data complied by the treasury was
understood to cover various fields o.
possible taxation, without, however
! considering a sales tax as a practlca
solution of the problem.
The treasury, il was added. conslo-
ers as advisable and has suggested
tax of two cents on all bank checks
which it is estimated would produce
$50, 100000 a year. while further rev
enue might be obtained from increas'
ing taxes on negotiable instruments
According to the treasury's estl
mates approximately sS0,O00,O00

Harding Advocates
Better SySte m For
Financing Farmer s

"Yet the farmer is compelled" he
declared, "if he borrows his working
capital to borrow for short periods, to
renew this several times before his
turnover is possible and to take the
chance that if he is called upon ul-
timateIy to pay off his notes, he may
be compelled to sacrifice growing
crops or unfinished livestock. OBJ
viously, the farmer needs to have
provisions. adapted to his require
ments. for extension of credit to pro-
duce his working capital"
The President said that concern
ing the grim reality OF the present
crisis in agriculture there can be no
differences of opinion among In
formed people"
"The depressions and discourage
ments," he continued, ARE not pecu-
liar to agriculture, and think 1t fair
to say there could have been no
avoidance of a great slump from war
time excesses to the hardships OF re-
adjustment. We can have no help
ful understanding by assuming agri-
culture suffers alone, but we may
fairly recognize the fundamental OIL
ficulties which accentnate the agrl-
cultural discouragements and menace
the healthful life of this basic and ap-
solutely necessary industry"
The farmer, he declared. from the
very mode Of his life is individual
istic and. therefore, because he buys
and sells as an individual 1t is his
fate TO buy in the highest and sell IN
the cheapest markets" He contrast
ed with this the corporation, he SAID
which could effect economies and ac-
quire a power in the markets by COM
binatlons.
The president said there was a mis-
conception regarding the financial
status of agriculture.
IF the mortgage indebtedness OF
farms shows. over a given PERIOD, q
marked tendency to increase. the fac'
becomes occasion for concern. ne
said. 'If, during the same period, the
railroads or the great industries con-
trolled by corporations, find tnem-
selves able to increase their mort

Removal of Body To Basil

Ceremony; Much Specu-
lation on Successor
rRepubIlcan a. p. Leased wIrel

ROME, Jan. 23.--The interment of
Benedict XIV has been tentatively
fixed for Wednesday afternoon. The
body will lie in state in the Bas-
ilica OF st. Peters only a day and
half more, according to these
plans.
Final decision will be taken We'd
nesday morning, but the present
view of the vatican is that it viii
be impossible to keep the body ex-
posed beyond Wednesday, afternoon.
The statement also was made to-
night, but not officially that the
coffin would be closed within few
hours and that thus the usual GER
emony of worshippers filing past,
kissing the uncovered foot OF the
dead pope, would be eliminated.
Removal of the body from the
throne room to the. Basilica this
morning was the occasion Of an inn
posing ceremony.
The bier was held shoulder high
by ushers clad in costumes OF
scarlet, flanked by noble guards
The sacred college followed, headed
by the dean, Cardinal Vannuttelli
Cardinal Gasparri walked a consid-
erable distance behind the dean. al
though occupying the post of Cam
erlingo, or head of the Roman
church during the interregnum.
On entering the main door of st
Peters the funeral party was re-
ceived by the clergy of the great
basilica, who escorted the cortege
down the main center aisle, TO a
position in the center of the church
Just opposite the statue OF st. Peter
The absolution took place. The bier
was then raised aloft and was
passed into the chapel OF the holy
sacrament, where the public car
view the body through the i'm
nnense iron gates.
The certificate Of the pope's death
which was registered today, will be
entered in the records Of the capita
tomorrow, in virtually the same
manner as for all Roman citizens.
In view, however. of the late
pope's high rank, the mayor vii

of the vatican will be present.

gates to the national agricultural
conference which convened today.
were told by speakers. President
Harding, who opened the conference,
Secretary Wallace, farmers and rep
rescntatives OF industries dependent
on agriculture, emphasized the seri-
BUSINESS OF the situation and suggest
ed remedies.
Remedial measures outlined by the
president and subsequently endorsed
by, many speakers included more
financial facilities, especially work
ing capital, for the farmer on long
time loans to provide for his turn
over; extension of cooperative mar
keting, buying and loan associations
of farmers; development OF waterway
transportation and possibilities; more
efficient machinery for collecting
and distributing market information,
including the demand and consump,
tive outlook; development OF the st.
Lawrence Great Lakes waterway
project and assurance to agriculture
Of equality OF opportunity with all
other industries.
Demand for reduction OF freight
rates was voiced generally by the
farmers and n reduction in retail
prices also was suggested as neces-
sary step to start increased consump-
ton Of farm products.

was declared to be general In the

and dependent on a prosperous agri-
culture it was asserted by represen-
1 tatives of the milling, packing, fertl-
! lizer and implement industries.

pose of the conference after Presi-
dent Harding had delivered his ad-

mittees were appointed 10 study

The delegates and their families
tonight were guests Of President and
Mrs. Harding at reception.
/ w. j. Bryan late in the afternoon
! described the conference as one OF
! the most important held in this
country in a long time. Agriculture,
he said, was in the worst condition
in 30 years, and he could not sec how
there could be any general prosperity
until the condition of the farmer was
! improved.
Touching on other questions he de-
clared that the present congress had
done more than previous ones, pc
cause I think it's more scared than
other congresses"
Praising the agricultural bloc. he
| said it was different from other blocs
| because it's members had acted
openly and the others acted secretly.
The situation of the various great
farming sections were described py
their representatives and the effects

WASHINGTON. Jan. 23-Develop--
ment or a through code Of law and
business procedure, with the proper
machinery to finance, to assure the
farmer as generous a supply OF
working capital on as reasonaoie
terms as is granted other industries
was advocated here today by Presl-
dent Harding in opening the nauohal
agricultural conference.
"An industry" he said, more vltai
than any other, in which near hait
the nations wealth is invested can
be relied on for good security ana
certain returns
Declaring that on the matter or
what NAV be called fixed investment
capital the disadvantage OF the
farmer so impressed public opinion
that the federal farm loan board was
established to meet the need. the
president said that the farmer still
needed some provision for supplying
him with working capital.
Compared with other industries
he continued, "the wonder Is that
agriculture, thus deprived OF easy &C
cess to both investment and accom-
modation capital has prospered even
so we'll"
Lines on which financial support
of agriculture may be organized. he
said. are suggested in the plan of the
federal farm loan board and in these
rural finance societies which have
been so effective in some European
countries.
sThe cooperative loaning associa-
tions OF Europe, have been effective
incentives TO united action by farm
ers," he continued, and have led
them directly into CO. cooperation in
both production and marketing which
have contributed greatly to the stab
ilization and prosperity OF agricul-
ture."
Whether these organizations are
considered as means to buying the
farmers requirements In cheaper
market, he asserted. or to selling his
products in a more remunerative one
"the conclusion in all cases Is the
same, 1t is that the farmer IS as
good a business man as any other
IL he has the chance"
Farmers Turnover Long
The manufacturer. he said, whose
turnover is rapid, finds he can bor-
row money from the bank on short
time notes when he needs working
capital and his money will come back
to him in time to meet his short term
I obligation. On the other hand. ne
continued. the farmers turnover is q
long one, from a year in most crops
TO some times three years in the cat
tie industry.
