BONUS BILL MAY
Be DELAYED FOR
TARIFF MEASURE
Senator Ladd Proposes a
Tax on Certain Banking
Institutions to Raise Part
of Veterans Money.

Washington, June 1S.-Senate
republican leaders who are oppos-
ed to the plan Of Chairman NC
Cumber of the finance committee
TO sidetrack the tariff bill for the
soldiers bonus have the support of
President Harding The executive,
il was stated officially today at the
White House, regards tariff iegis-
lation as most important and
worthy of the undivided attention
of the senate.
Plans for consideration of the
bonus bill still are very indefinite,
but they may take shape after the
return here tomorrow of Senator
Lodge, of Massachusetts,, the re-
publican leader, who has been
campaigning in his home state.
Some leaders desire that a party
conference pass upon the question
of the right of way as between the
two bills, but should such a confer
ence be called Senator McCumber
and other proponents of the bonus
are expected to make a fight
against delaying senate action on
that measure until the tariff bill
has been disposed of.
Senator McCumber has given no.
tice that he will call up the bill in
the near future. He has not yet
fixed upon a definite date.
Some leaders said today there
was probability that the bill would
be called up the latter part of next
week or early in the week follow
ing unless an agreement was reach
ed in party conference to defer
action.
Meantime, subsequent proposals
for the amended house bonus bill
are being put forward. The latest
was offered by Senator McCum-
bers colleague, Senator Ladd, re-
publican, North Dakota.
1t would provide for a cash
bonus to the soldiers to be paid
by issue of s2,500, 100000 or less
OF legal tender treasury notes to
be retired over a period of % years
out of the proceeds from special
taxes on banks and interest receiv-
ed from foreign indebtedness.
a tax on all banking institutions
having capital stock of 100000
or more equal to so per cent of
the profits in excess of IL per cent
and all other taxes.
Should these taxes and the in
terest on the foreign debt be in
sufficient to pay the annual re-
funding installments on the legal
tender issued to the veterans, the
deficiency would be made up out
of the federal treasury.
Explains Amendment.
Explaining the amendment, SEN
ator Ladd said in formal state
ment that few would contend that
in the lignt of present economic
conditions, banks should make q
profit greater than IL per cent.
He argued that this plan would
cause no initiation Of credits and
contended that in this manner the
soldier could be paid at little ex-
pense to the government, Char
acterizing the certificate plan Of
the McCumber bill as little more
than "bread bill' for the vet
Grams, Senator Ladd said they had
asked for meat and have been
given a stone" Senator McKen-
drick, democrat. Wyoming, deliv-
cred prepared address in favor
of compensation and urging that
the Smith-McNary reclamation bill
be attached to the bonus measure
as land settlement option.
