WASHINGTON, Eel. 27.-Three States
Maryland. Pennsylvania and Kentucky
now hold 95 per cent Of all the visible

mary to concentrating the remaining
liquor stocks into fewer warehouses, to
reduce costs and protect the dwindliug
liquor supplies against robbers.
Commissioner Haynes said that within
a short period his officers viii have re-

said must run the country for ten years
about 25,0O0,OO0 gallons is stored in Ken

Politicians Wish First Bonus Payment
in Hands of Vets Before Fall Elections

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.--Friends Of
the soldier bonus" most Of them salts,
fed the sales tax is dead, have begun
agitation to have Congress dispose OF tie
question soon enough to get actual cash
payments in the hands Of ex-serVlcs men
before the elections. They are gaining
support for the movement on confident
protectors of Republican leaders that
British bonds will be In possession or
the Treasury by June or July. The COM
plittee considering the administrative fea-
lures of the bill inserted a provision in
the measure last week to begin the first
quarterly payments Oct. /, 1922, Instead
Of Oct. ], 1928, as originally provided.
This change was made at the behest or
those concerned at the political aspect Of
the bonus"
Opponents Of the sales tax, led by
Representatives Frear and Dickinson,
farmer bloc" leaders, asserted they had
enough votes in the Ways and Means
Committee to force report of q bill with
out carrying any provision for taxation
for raising the revenue Their plan Is to
use the money from the expected payment
by Great Britain Of the allied loans.
FORDNEY PLAN
WILL PASS CLAIM.
Representative Frear presented the
plan to Chairman Eordney in a letter.
This plan has the approval Of thirty
members, he said. Explaining to Mr..
Frear, Mr.. Fordney said that more than
100 Republicans are prepared to approve
the plan, sufficient to pass bill con-
tanning such a provision.
In his letter Mr.. Frear stated:
your action Friday, supported by
members of the subcommittee, in dis
carding any sales tax on the bonus bill
will receive the hearty support of men,
bers Of Congress generally. We believe
the subcommittee vote of seven to two
against such tax is a close index Of
House sentiment on the subject.
"A sales tax would penalize every ex-
soldier compel him to pay toward his
own meager bonus. Nine hundred
thousand jobless ex-soldiers would be
obliged Immediately to pay consumption
taxes under any sales tax law.

the work Of the conference? There will
be no courage or enthusiasm among the
Administration LEADERSHIP delegates
who stood for America this ttme-or any
one else TO try a conference with nations
again. Yet only an infnitesimal part Of
Americas work is done. But Congress is
hesitatlng, holding America back to pro-
vincialism and narrow -mindedness. That
Is the real reason America is a gutter
in Europe There are plenty Of men In
America capable enough to help Europe
straighten out her affairs, not at the ex-
pense of America, but for the benefit of
America as well as Of Europe and the
rest Of the world.
Yet with the necessity Of action trans
ferrcd TO Congress. women have dropped
their interest, or at least they seem
quiescent.
Also take the soldier bonus" Congress
IS fOundering about insulting the injus-
tice aud high7minded principles of the
country IN the belief that few dem
agogues in the next election viii be
able TO swing the ignorant voters against
them if war heroes and others are not
paid again for having done their duty.
And Congress IS right. Scarcely any one
is raising a voice to start the ball OF
shame rolling against the demagogues
A few high minded women could make the
war heroes feel so ashamed of themselves
that little more would be heard Of the
bonus"
There is the situation. Congress being

possible to have q legislative body go

Controller Joseph +. Hogue said he
never was notified that the bids were to
be received and that therefore he had
no opportunity to urge bankers to sub
NIT proposals. Mr.. Hoffman was not
present when the bids were received and
Mr.. Hogue did not know until a few min
utes before time to open the proposals
that they had been advertised by the
park board. The board ordinarily leaves
such details to It's attorney.
As a result, the mayor said, one bidder
came and got the bonds on a per cent
basis. Only a few days before the city
had borrowed some money for less than
8 per cent interest.
'That cost us L per cent" said the
mayor.
He said he would ask the park board
to issue orders to the attorney to move

1t is felt, too. that because so much
of the time and energies at the national

preparations for this conference, the
legislative and political field Is being
neglected The league is the one great

at a convention last spring calling for
reduction of ornaments by international
