the first .weels-fss-15ure ... III is prob
ably true that congress can get
through with IT'S work by the first n
June. but. whether 1t wfi> get through
@na ttaIlN1kth ftlsr matter.
II was suggested to Mr.. Mondell BIZ
the writer that there was in the patti

it was forbidding. He says that the
appropriation bills age IN good prelimt
mary shape and Chat the other legist
lation outlined. will. be passed with nd
great amount Of trouble. The house
leader thinjs' Ethatavith the treaties
and the tariff out Of the senate's way
all other things sneedly will be ac7
counted for.
;Qne does pot likeit to- take issue with
such an authority on matters as the
leader of the majority In the house
Of Representatives, and ore does not
fake issue with him in the matter OF
the Sincerity Of his belief that con-
gress viii adjourn ABOUT the time of
the advent OF the month of roses; but
looking, back through the history Of
congresses during the last twelve or
fourteen years, it is found that the
best laid plans,and seemingly the best
based thoughts Of the leaders gen
orally have gone wrong. However,
there have been preliminary and reas-
sQqngl words fropi certain senators
VIZ II waJtho6hf Would oppose the
treaties, and therefore the most for
,mjdable obsPcle Of prxress perhaps
may be accounted as ellminated-but
still one never can tell.
Bonus Bill Troubles.
A bonus bill is going through at
this session or the next one. Already,
as has been made clear prior to this
time, certain taxation plans were
fArasogax,y1,ss ,b sSgsf n ssfH a anS
by which money to pay the ex-service
men was to be raised. Recently, how
every there shas come opposition to
fhis kirectl Aa'nM taxation, and the
President has suggested the general
sales tax plan, which has almost been
Discarded as Impossible of passage.
~Pblitkiahst ara Interested somewhat
In speculation as to just what the Re
publican and Democratic campaigners
Will say In the preliminaries OF the
coming congressional contest concern
ing this bonus matter. Two great Or
CARNATIONS Of business men of the
United States, the United States
Chamber of Commerce and the Ma
tiopal Association of Manufacturers,
are against the bonus legislation. The
congressman are being told "that
great body, Of voters, including some
ex-service men, are against the legis-
lation. The general belief of poll
ticians, however, Is that greater par
ty support can be secured by the
passage of the bonus bib than by
defeating the measure.
Service, men are objecting strongly
to the constantly made statements
that the special, taxes, iier bond Is
sue, are to be authorized 'in order to
satisfy the servtee~mer.n The former
soldiers do not like this way of put
ting it, because they hold that the
isaslIt' '4anItts.aE'ilatFla!"' tel that tn 's
taxpayer that the daily penny or pen
pies. -thst, he1is putting out would be
saved to him if it were not for the
soldiers insistence on a bonus. Mem
bers of congress are willing to admit
that there is some justification for the
complaint of. the men who served.
