per cent of the foreign born white
population in the United States ten
years of age and older. according
to the 1920 census. was unable TO
speak English, the census bureau
announced today. The number was
I.4S8,94S, cut of a total foreign

years of age of 13,49T,SS6. These
figures compared with 2,s53.01I
non English speaking foreign
horn residents, or 22.s per cent If
the total. enumerated for the 1910
census
The bureau attributed the de-
crease to several causes, citing that
many immigrants who could not
speak English in 1910 had since
learned the language. died or re-
turned to their native countries:
that the number who could not
speak English arriving during the
last decade was smaller than in
the previous ten years, and that q
majority Of these had come TO this
country prior 10. August /. 1914.
and, therefore, had had time to
learn the language before the cen

BONUS BILL
REALLY A
GOLD BRICK
Put Over
a Scheme That Bur-
dens the Countr..
and Skins the Sol
diers
by WALLACE BASSFORD
Especial News Correspondcnt.)

Washington. March 2a.-The
house has at last passed another
bonus bill. though almost identical
in form with the one passed two
years ago and which the senate
laid on the shelf at Harding's re-
quest. 1t remains to be seen what
Will be done with the present bill,
With all OF Wall Street opposing it.
The bill itself is satisfactory 10 no
one. The soldier whose adjusted
compensation" entitled him to less
than $50 can get il in cash: the
others have 10 take u certificate Of
Indebtedness which finally becomes
due in 20 Years. Meanwhile, if he
wants TO get money, he has to bor-
row it at bank and pay larger
rate of interest than the certificate
bears, though the certificate is as
much the obligation of the govern
ment as is q Liberty Bond and
should entitle the owner to the
lowest rate Of interest at which
money can be borrowed. 1t is diff
ficult to understand why the sol
dier should be allowed TO borrow
oni- so per cent OF the face value
Of the certificate: almost any bank
will lend :5 per cent Of the mar
ket value of a certificate Of stock
in railroad or industrial corpora
ton if the stock is listed on the
New York Stock Exchange, though
thcs> stocks at times fiuctuate wild
ly, and. Of course. have much less
stable value than the obligation OF
the United States government.

Harding could not control the
house on the bonus proposition;
the members OF that body have TO
answer TO the voters in November.
The president can only control the
house when he asks it TO do some
thing which the people desire.
President Wilson was called
dictator when he put one meri-
torious measure after another
through 4 willing congress, CO.
operating with him day after day

The Republicans made a grea,
deal OF noise, about q year ago
. over the question of reorganizinG
the governmental departments
cutting out much duplication OF
work and thus saving the taXpay-
crs many millions Of dollars. \
/ most excellent congressional COM
mission was made up for the work
but some time ago the president
insisted that he be allowed TO
place personal representative on
this commission. q suggestion which
was opposed by the two Democrat
ic members. Senator Harrison of
Mississippi and Representative r.
Walton Moore Of Virginia. Eev-
erthelesS. the president appointed
Walter f., Brown Of Ohio. and the
commission made him chairman.
Up TO that time the commission
was making excellent progress and
gave promise OF saving many
millions. but Brown served as an
anaesthetic of the most powerful
sort and the suspicion is very
strong that this was the purpose
Of his Appointment. Since that
time there has been absolutely
nothing done: reorganization is
chloroformed. No meetings are
being held and work is at a stand
still. Thus the administration es-
capes two embarraSSments. many
hundreds OF jobs are saved TO the
party and q number of lnter-de-
partmental wranSles are hushed up.
Agriculture and interior We're ready
10 fly at each others throatS over
the question OF which should con-
troll the forest service: interior and
commerce were at daggcr'S point
over Alaska: treasury and justice
both striving to ger control over
prohibition enforcement: commerce
ana agriculture divided over the
packers control legislation: and so
on down the list. The department.
nj chiefs are as jealous OF each
other as Il bunch OF opera singers.
Each is constantly striving 10 eX-
tend his authority. his dominion
and the number Of his appoint
men1s. Rather hard on the poor
taxpayer.
