ALL SET TO
JAM BONUS
BILL THROUGH
Republican Leaders
Pr pose to Shut Off
Debate and Pass Bill

Washington. March S-WhIlc
the fight against the compromise
soldiers bonus bill continued to-
day unabated. house members on
both sides of the question predict
cd privately that the measure
would be passed by the house.
Although u two-thirds Vote
would be required TO put the bill
through under such a procedure
Republican leaders were discuss
ing the question of calling UP the
measure under Il suspension Of the
rules This would preclude the
possibility of amendment and or
dinarily would limit debate to 20
! minutes on each side. The ma iot-
ity membership will be sounded ol.t
on this proposition. but Il decision
probably will be withheld until af-
ter the return here in the week of
Chairman t'ordncy of the ways and
means committee, WHO Will have
charge Of the bill on the floor.
The next rules suspension day in
the house will be Monday. March
20. Leaders said the army ap-
preparation bill would be taken up
next Tuesday ahead Of the bonus
bill and even if the latter measures
were not called up under a sus-
pension Of the rules, it probably
would not be considered before the
week beginning March 80.
; There was some discussion dur
! ing the day as TO President Hard
ing's attitude with regard to the
compromise bill. Representative
Mondcll of Wyoming. the majority
leader. said he did not think the
statement made at the White
House yesterday that Mr.. Harding
occupied the same position that he
| did when he suggested Il sales tax
or postponcmcnt Of the legislation
WAS to be taken to mean that the
executive was prepared to veto the
measure.
Representative Hawlcy Of Orc
gon. Republican member OF the
ways and means committee, said
the president had suggested Il 80
days delay in enactment Of the
legislation as an alternathe for the
sales tax and that in the view OF
the committee this suggestion had
been met by making October J.,
1922, the effective date Of the bill.

and continuing until 1919, he dis

l the case of the estate of Mrs.
Hill we're an isolated one the mat
ter would not be worth mention
ing. But unfortunately it is -typi-
cal Of hundreds Of ether cases. \
good many billions of dollars are
tied up in tax exempt securities ir
this country. Figure very conser-
yatiyeiy on the basis of what was
done with the estate Of Mrs. Hill by
expert handling. and the extra
weight OF taxation placed in con-
sequence on the shoulders of those
whose property enjoys no eXemp-
tiens becomes appalling. 1t runs
info the hundreds OF millions, pos
si5iy into the billions annually. II
easily makes the difference be-
tween situation in which the ma
Aion could handle IT'S financial
problems easily, and the present
very difficult economic condition.
