ARE MOVING SLOWLY
ON BONUS QUESTION
Bill May Not Be Reported Out OF
Committee This Week
or Next.

Washington, D. G., Feb. 23-The
soldiers bonus question was allowed
to simmer to-day, the special commit
tee dealing with the question of ways
and of raising funds deferring further
sessions until tomorrow. Some COM
mitteemen said the bill probably would
not be reported out of the committee
this week or next.
There seemed to be a disposition to
make haste slowly. Meantime, it was
said that there was growing senti-
ment among members of the House to
postpone action until after the debt
refundng negotiations between the
United States and the principal allied
nations are under Way. In this con
nection, Representative Longworth Of
Ohio, ranking member of the commit
tee dealing with finances, said there
was reason to believe that some of the
refunded foreign bonds would be in
hand by July.
At this time sentiment in the special
committee seems TO be for reporting
out a bill carrying a manufacturers
and wholesalers tax similar to that in
force in Canada, but with lower rates.

serves an interest in all divorce ac-
tions."

the attorney general the right to re-
view divorce cases. III the law granted
that right, be said, every divorce
granted in Nevada would be subject
to review.

wiz 1ut precedent in jurisprudence. No
language can be found in any law that
can be tortured into giving excuse for
this attitude of the attorney general

contest between Norwich, W.T., uniyer-

PAY AS WE GO POLICY.
Advocated for United States BY Eliot
Wadsworth.

Boston, Feb. 23---America' position
as creditor nation probably will re-
suit in the use Of American capital
wherever business is done, Eliot Wads-
worth, assistant secretary of the
treasury, said in an address before the
Boston Chamber Of Commerce to-day.
This expansion depended, however, he
added, on the maintaining of ''pay as
We 60" policy by the United States
treasury.
ave owe to-day twenty-five and
one half billion dollars, of which six
and one half billion is due in less than
Is months" Mr.. NVadsworth said,
This is too large a proportion of
floating debt for any business institn-
ton.
''our federal budget so far has
balanced, but next year we face def
icit. We are considering further eS-
pendnres for bonus, for ship sub
sides, for new federal activities. To
meet the deficit, to pay for these new
expenditures, the money should be
provided from income, not by further
borrowing.
'.Ne have debts eonugh for future
generations to care for. Pay as we go'
must be the principle of the financial
management of this country or soon
We will not be talking Of lending
money abroad and win really have
cause to worry about thief utnre.
Contrasting the great imitation of
currencies abroad with the situation
in the United States, the assistant
secretary stated thata in a aggregate,
the holder Of Liberty bonds had made
a profit Of two and one half billion dol
lars in the last year and a half.
