SENATE SIDES
WITH HARDING
ON NbONUSLEVY
Sales Levy to Grant Veterans
Aid to Be Discussed With
President in Week.
BY Universal Service.

President Harding's recommends
ton for a bonus sales tax will he
followed by the Senate, it was indi-
Gated by Senate leaders today.
The certificate bonus measure,
passed by the House, reached the
Senate yesterday, and was referred
to the Senate Finance Committee.
Chairman MCCumber, of the Sen
ate Finance Committee. announced
that the bill will be held in his com.
mittee until after the tariff measure
is reported to the Senate. This will
probably be ten days or two weeks,
according TO members OF the com
mittee. He said:
II intend to see President Hard
ing and discuss the whole bonus
question with him before the
Finance Committee considers the
House bill.
The Finance Committee will re-
port a bonus bill. and l am conf
dent that bonus legislation will be
enacted this session. Whether the
House bill will be accepted by the
Senate. however. depends largely
upon the Presidents attitude.
'In all probability the House
measure will be changed materially
before il is passed by the Senate,
as the President apparently has in
dicated that he is opposed to a bonus
measure that does not provide for a
cash bonus with the sales tax at
tached to finance IT."
Senator McCumber would not ven
ture a prediction as to whether the
sales tax would be adopted by the
Senate. Other members of the
Finance Committee, however. are
confident that the Senate will follow
the Presidents recommendation.
Senator Smoot of Utah, a MEM
Der OF the committee, said today
that he will press his sales tax
amendment to the bonus bill of last
year, both in the committee and on
the floor of the Senate.

HARDING CALLS
SENATE BACK To.
NATION 8 BIRTH
Special Message Significant on
Heels of Signing Four
Power Treaty.
BY POLITICUS.

When the final roll call on the
four.power alliance had been finished
yesterday afternoon the Senate
paused TO listen to a special ,nes
sage from President Harding. This
message began:
1T seems appropriate to call the
attention of the Congress to the fact
that the 4th day of July, 1926. will
mark the 150th anniversary of the
Declaration of Independence and the
beginning of our separate national
existence"
IT was an unintenlonally dramltic
inspiration that prompted the Presi'
dent to remind the Senate of the
Declaration of Independence at such
a juncture. For by a two-thirdd
vote of that body the fourpower a.
lance had been made a part OF the
law of the land.
The United States, which had sol
emnly broken the ties that bound
it to England a century and a half
ago, had just taken the first step 10
renew those bonds. 1t had pledged
itself to maintain" the rights OF
Great Britain, Japan and France in
the Orient.
For more than four hours the on.
ponents of the four-power treaty Of
fered amendments and reservations
in an effort to weaken the ambigu'
Gus terms of the compact framed
during the arms conference. But al
amendments and reservations were
voted down; all except one-the
Brandegee reservation that wrote
no alliance" across the face of the
treaty.
The other amendments and reser-
vations were just as vital as this
one, but the party lash in the hands
of Senator Lodge made possible their
rejection. Amendments that would
limit the operation Of the treaty TO
a defense against "unprovoked ag.
gression;" to limit the perils grow
ing out of Japanese or British mill
tary occupation in Asia: TO safe
guard the rights of the United States
to confer with Russia or China in
case the latter became involved in
war with Japan, were voted down
because Of the political exigencies of
the moment.
But that fight has only begun.
Japan and Great Britain will find
the new alliance an empty one. The
rejection of these reservations will
prove meaningless as far as the
Government of the United States is
concerned. No American executive
would dare to come to the aid of
Japan in a war with either Russia
or China. He might confer as to
the "most efficient measures" to be
adopted, but no Congress would per.
nit a single American soldier or a
single American dollar to back the
aggression of either Great Britain
or Japan in Asia.
The long procession OF roll calls In
the Senate was tedious at times,
particularly for those rubber, stamn
Senators whose Intense convictions"
never rose to the dignity of speech,
but were limited to a perfunctory
response on the roll call patterned
on the answer OF the bell-wether
Lodge. For some of these the aft
ernoon was all too long. But the
roll calls will figure in the fall cam.
paigns. The Senators who voted
against safeguarding the interests of
the United States will have to an.
swer for those votes to their con-
stituents.

his head. But | think I know the
thought that occupies il.
Good by, old America. Now you
are just like any other great. grand
country in the great, grand world
of dominions and possessions. Once
your dominion was only over your
self, and your great possession was
the independence and the self-gov.
ernment which you declared not
only for yourselves but for every
other people. Now you have peoples
whom you possess. And now you
have understandings and agree
ments and memberships in interna.
tional clubs with other possessing
countries which possess peoples and
wish to guarantee themselves
against the immemorial inevitable
fate of empires.
Once no alliance OF foreigners
among themselves could frighten
you. The holy alliance in Europe
did not frighten you. The triple al
lance did not frighten you. The
triple entente did rot frighten you.
You let alliances go by and pursued
your own way of independence for
all and of membership in no group.
ing of some against others. Now to
get safety for your possessions in the
Eastern seas you group yourelf with
an oriental country which you fear
and separate yourself from an orien-
tai country which has been your
friend.
In your youth, IL you had ben 60
ing to make an alliance In the Far
East. you would have made it with
China, which neds liberty and which
beseeches you. Now you make it
with Japan, which has power and
which threatens you. You are indeed
grown up.
So thinking, happen to look across
at the Senatorial family gallery. and
by a chance ] see Mrs. Hiram John
son in the front row of it. She looks
as II she were going to cry. She
looks as II she had started to cry.
These Johnsons. fear, do not take
these things lightly.
look down again at the Senate
floor. Well, ! can count at least five
men on that floor who never will live
at ease In this new America and who
will always be restless and make this
whole country restless till out of
something that persists in the heart
of even this new America they bring
the old America back.

stated, with possibilities Of seek
ing impeachment of Moncure.
Whether the committee, as charg-
ed. will whitewash the Little Reno
wholesale divorce judge, could not
be ascertained, although It is known
that two members of the COMMITTEES,
sought to affect his dismissal And
demand his resignation.
Impeachment of Moncure. Il IL
pointed out, could not be asked nv
the committee because no specific
charge" was being made against
him. The only charge that has
been brought against the judge ia
tho he has been lax in administer
| ing the law, and has been busy
with political Vaccinations.
Answer of the divorce magistrate
was a denial in toto of the charge
OF laxity, carefully avoiding any
reference TO his former connection
with Budwesky and Davis. the "di
vorce kings" and the fact that
Mary l.. Baggett, the divorce
queen" housed hundreds in her
nine.room house, who sought di.
vorces.
The fact that Mrs. Baggett also
made thirty-four dspositions for the
Judge. prior to his ascension to the
bench, enabling him to secure quick
divorces for his clients, will be one
OF the factors in the committees
report. it was stated.
Whitewash Sought.
Members of the committee, close
friends OF the Judge. including How.
ard w. Smith. the committee chair
man, sought to whitewash the judge
entirely, declaring that Moncure was
forced by law to accept as true, the
testimony in each individual divorce
case submitted to him.
This. however, is denied by pre-
cedence of other judges, who. after
having the name of a professional
witness appear several times in di
vorce proceedings, promptly put 9
| stop to It,
The records Of the committee show
that Mrs. Baggett's name appeared
more than 200 times, before Judge
Moncure, but this was explained by
the divorce Judge in his testimony
by the declaration that he Thought
nothing Of it."
To the charges OF political machina.
tions, Judge Moncure admitted in
| his testimony before the committee
that he has "stumped Alexandra
for certain friends Of his for public
office. admitted It. and that II was
the right of every free American
to do So"
Because Of refusal OF witnesses to
appear before tho unauthorized Rar
Association Committee. which was
without authority or Jurisdiction, the
effect Of tho oommittee'a report was
materially weakened, one Of the
members OF the COMMITTEES, told the
writer this morning.
