BONUS ABUSES
FEDERAL CREDIT
SAYS MELLON
Says Measure Would Cost
$780,, 100000 By
1925
CALLS ON CONGRESS
Letter to Fordney Demanding That
Means Be Provided Regarded as
Forecast of Veto.

Washington, March 13.-In a let
ter to Chairman Fordney, of the
Ways and Means Committee. made
public yesterday. Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon makes 2 searching
analysis of the insurance certificate
bonus bill just framed by the Repub-
lican majority of the committee. He
declared the bill involves "a danger
Gus abuse of Government credit and
advises the leaders Of his party III
Congress that if there is to be a
bonus. they should face the music and
provide the funds in a Straightforward
way.
ut is clear from these estimates"
Mr.. Mellon said after reviewing the
measure, that whatever form the
soldiers bonus may take. it will cost
from 100000 to S400,00O0, 900
for the next three or four years. and
NAV involve continuing liabilities
thereafter of over 00,000,000 a year
until 1913"
Having said early in the letter that
the present bill presumably had been
framed with view Of "reducing the
apparnt cost to the Government" ;"
Mr.. Mellon said later:
TT is imposible TO avoid the cost,
if a bonus is to be adopted, and it is
both dangerous and unwiSe to attcmpt
to avoid il for the time being by
throwing the burden upon the banks
Of the country, and piling up for the
Treasury an accumulated liability
which in 1925. may amount to Ovcr
S60OQ00,000.
There is no way by which the
American taxpayer can avoid the
burden. and if bonus is to be i'm
posed. it is far better Tor all concerned
that it be placed upon q direct and
definite basis and paid for each year
out of current revenue. To do this at
the present time will necessarily mean
the imposition of additional taxes for
the purpose
The letter to Mr.. Fordncy i: under
date of Yesterday. 1t is in reply tn one
sent by MIR. Mellon BY the Ways and
Means Committee March s. stating
that the committee would be glad -
have this comment upon the bill that
has been framed. The committee
probably had no IDEA what it was in
vitinc. For, regardless of the merits
Of the bonus or this particular bIii,
the Mellon letter is one of the most
devastating attacks upon proposed
legislation that ever has come from
the Treasury. :,
Known since the beginning of the
Harding administration as an oppo-
nent of soldier bonus, Mr.. Mellon
devotes no time in the letter to the
discussion of the basic question. he
deals solely with the character of the
measure that the Republicans of the
Ways and Means Committee framed
after weeks Of uncertainty; shows
what it would cost and what the cost
would mean to the Government; and
virtually tells the leaders of his party
in; Congress that the method of meet
ing the cost is a moral fraud upon
the country.

Lectures in Christ. Church

DR.. Rollins will deliver his second
lecture on st. Paul's cpistles at Christ
Church on Tuesday, March II, at
3 p. m. The subject of this lecture
vii! be: practical Suggestions for
the Study of st. Paul's Epistles."
Are st. Paul's epistles hard to un-
derstand? If not, why have they been
thought so? Can they be made clear
and Ineligible to the average reader?
Why was it that they were so eagerly
and enthusiastically read BY the peo-
pie to whom they were first adj
dressed? Those Christians were no
more intelligent than the people of
Alexandrie. They were certainly
less highly educated. Then why can
not their Christians of Alexandria
read them with the same intelligence,
enthusiasm and. profit as did the
Christians Of thes first century? Dr.
Rollins believes that they can. and he
will in this lecture give seven practi-
can suggestions which, if followed.
will lead to the highest results. These
suggestions will he fully, explained
and Illustrated.
The people of Alexandria are cor

adopting the Brandegee reservation,
voting down other reservations and
keeping the matter before the Senate
until ii is disposed of. ratification of
the Four Power Pacific treaty seems
virtually assured.
In some instances, the opponents OF
the pact are coneding, privately
that their chances of increasing their
voting strength are very slim. and
that under these circumstances there
is little advantage in continuing the
struggle. Consequently, q vote on
ratification may be reached before the
end of s weeks. Senator Lodge has
already announced that he will en-
deavor to keep the Senate in continu-
Gus session today, or until vote is
had on the Robinson amendment.
Assuming that Senator Lodges
plan of adopting the Brandegee res
ervation is carried out. the vote on
the treaty has been forecasted as fol-
lows:

Democrats of Borough Still
Have no Candidate for
Mayor as Yet

KEYPORT, Sept. 1S.-To date
the Democratic party in the borough
is without a candidate for mayor,
Henry SalZ, who was mentioned a
few days ago as a probable candi-
date, provided he was supported by
two strong candidates for
man having refused to accept the
nomination, it is understood.
Thomas L. Smith, the Republican
candidate, who is the only person
to have filed a petition, is an un-
usually strong candidate. Mr.. Smith
is a man of progressive ideas, a
~fduate of Wake Forest College,
c., and an all round business
Executive and he is expected to poic
p very large vote.
A recent prospective candidate
mentioned for the Office of mayor
Yon the democratic ticket is Isaac N.
Johnston, borough recorder. Wheth-
er Mr.. Johnston will serve is not
known, but Mr.. Johnston's name
has been heard frequently as a pos
sible candidate.
Whoever opposes candidate Smith
will conduct a paster campaign as
the former is the only candidate to
have filed a petition.
Interest is being centered in the
contest for councilmen. The terms
of DR.. Fred C. Ogden and James
Polling expire this year and there
were no petitions filed for these Of
fees. Several prominent women in
the borough have been mentioned
as possible candidates and it is ex-
pected that one at least will run for
the office and should she permit her
name to be used in a paster cam
paign it is quite probable that she
would be elected by a larger ma
jcrity.
