BONUS TO BE TAKEN UP
BY CONGRESS AT ONCE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Back
from the Christmas holidays, con-
gress is expected to. enact with little
delay a bill for adjusted compensa-
tion to veterans of the World War.
AS matters now stand, the Ford
ney and McCumber compensation
measures, both of which have the
support of the American Legion,
are before House and Senate com
mittees. No date has been fixed for
vote in either branch Of the con-
gress.
Payment of compensation will,
however, officials here declare, be
one of the first issues taken up by
the. lower house upon resuming its
session. The Senate is expected to
begin the consideration Of the bill
after disposing of legislation dealing
with refunding of foreign loans.
Several plans suggested for raising
money to pay compensation are pro-
veking the most discussion in con-
gressional circles at present. The
Legion has made it plain that it
would not enter into the discussion
as to methods of meeting the pay
ments.
A recent "bonus" bill introduced
into the House by Rep. Volk would
provide payments for adjusted COM
pensation by means of sales tax
estimated to yield $1,5O0,O0o annual
Ily. The measure is patterned after
the Canadian bonus law.
Another suggestion for raising
money has come from Secretary
Mellon of the treasury department,
who proposes the sale Of light wines
and beer with tax on the sale Of
beverages. President Harding is un-
/ derstood to disapprove such scheme
but the House ways and means COM
ymittee has given notice that it viii
consider the plan.
