SEEKING TO LEARN
 THE BONUS SENTIMENT
COngressmen Wish to Know More About the Public's
 Opinion

Washington, Feb. 1S-Soldiers' bonus legislation was at standstill today while congressional leaders waited to get better line on senti- ment throughout the country and in Congress.
 Neither the House Ways and Means Committee nor the Senate Fi- nance Committee gave any attention to the subject The House Commit tee will resume consideration of the subject Monday, while the Senate will wait until the House members evolve a program.
 Representative Mondell of Wyom- ing, who prior to the publication of the presidents letter had advocated cutting appropriations for the Navy and Army and other departments, has refrained from public comment since that time. It was learned today. however, that MT. Mondell still be- lleves his plan to be preferable and will urge the president to modify his position.
 MT. Mondell informed some of the opponents of a sales tax today that he is flatly against a sales tax and that he sees no chance of favorable action by the House.
 Under the plan as favored by MT. Mondell the Ways and Means Com mittee would report out a bill con- taining compensation features and providing that the necessary money should be obtained from Whatever funds were available. This would be broad enough to include any avail able funds in the Treasury, money received from the sale of surplus property or interest on foreign loans.
 It is said to be Mir. Mondelrs view that the finances of the government will be in such shape that the pay ments can be met in this manner. First payments of cash bonuses would be made October 1, under the propos- ed bill. By that time MT. Mondell believes that the government finances will be greatly improved as result of the proposed economy program and
 if not then he thinks there will be time enough for Congress to make provision for the raising of funds.

 Better, Tennesseean Says.

Charlotte, N C., Feb. 19.-Steadily improving business conditions in the South are indicated, in the opinion of Walter c. Johnson, of Chattanooga, Tenn, secretary-treasurer of the Southern Newspaper Publishers As sociation, in replies to recent ques- tionaire which he sent to 25O-odd members of the association.
 q found," said MT. Johnston, that in almost every case the circulation of the newspapers is growing steadi- ly, and that advertising was from 20 to 33 per cent better for the past Jan uary than for January, 1921.
 "This is a mighty good indication that business is returning. If it were few isolated cases it might not mean so much, but the fact that both the circulation and the advertising are increasing as a general rule through out the South, seems to me to be mighty good indication of business improvement generally"
 MT. Johnson announced that meet ing of the Executive Committed of the Southern Newspaper Publishers As sociation will be held in Chattanooga February 27, when the time and place for the next annual convention will be fixed.
