HOUSE WILL VOTE
ON SOLDIER BONUS
BILL ON THURSDAY
Agree to Take Up Measure
Under Suspension Of
the Rules.
EXPECT TO GET NEEDED
TWO-THIRD MAJORITY
Debate Limited to Four Hours
No Recommittal Nor Amend
ments to Be Permitted.

The soldiers bonus bill will be
taken UP by the House Thursday un-
der suspension of the rules under a
plan agreed upon today at confer
ence between Speaker Gillett and
Chairman Campbell Of the rules COM
mittee.
The Speaker. it was said, has agreed
to entertain a motion to suspend the
rures. Mr.. Campbell said he would
call a meeting of his committee to-
morrow morning at which he will ask
committee members to report a rule
designating Thursday as suspension
day, with a proviso that four hours
debate on the bill shall be provided.
Two-Thirds Majority Necessary.
Under this procedure a two-thirds
majority would be necessary to pass
the bill. No amendments would be
permitted nor would 1t be possible to
make a motion to recommit the
measure to the ways and means COM
mittee.
Those In charge of the legislation
were confident. that 1t would receive
more than the two-thirds majority.
They expected the. vote to come be-
fore adjournment Thursday, after
two hours of discussion on each side.
The rule will haYe to be agreed to
by majority ofthe rules commit
tee and then will have to obtain a
majority vote in the House. Pro-
ponents, of the bonus legislation were
hot to- 40
be obtained.
Speaker Explains Position.
Speaker Gillett said the proposition
had narrowed down to whether the
bill should be put on its passage
without opportunity for amendment
or. with opportunity for one motion
from the democratic side. and that
he was inclined to think 1t would be
better not to permit the democrats
to offer the one motion. In this con-
nection he called attention to the
minority report on the bill prepared
by Representative Kitchin Of Nerth
of the ways and means committee,
in which 1t was urged that the ex-
cess profits and high surtaxes be
restored.
Mr.. Gillett explained that the pro-
cedure would be to recognize Chair
man Campbell to present the rule to
make Thursday suspension day, and
upon adoption Of that rule Chairman
Fordney would be recognized for a
motion to suspend tho rules and pass
the bill.
Democratic leaders and opponents
of the bonus measure were expected
to make a fight against adoption of
the rule, and as there would be four
hours debate on the bill itself the
final vote would be delayed until late
Thursday. The Speaker said, how
ever, that 1t was the plan to "clean
the whole thing up" in one day.

A Billion for Streets and Highways.

More than a billion dollars will
be spent on city street and rural
highway construction in 1922, ac-
cording to the latest estimates of
highway engineers. Of this more
than 5000, ,ooo, 900 will go for rural
highways and the balance for city
streets.
Because of the rapid increase in
the use of motor vehicles, both for
passenger and freight transporta-
ton, state highway officials estlm-
ate that it will be at least five years
before the country catches mp with
the demand for improved roads.
With road improvement proceed
ing at such a rapid rate, highway
engineers see an economic fallacy
in the tendency of some commun,
tiles to permit the building of what
are readily recognized as temper.
airy pavement types. The day of
the gravel and macadam roads for
heavy traffic is past, they say The
maintenance expenditures which
such roads entail make them, in
the long run, far more expensive
than the permanent types In
every instance engineers are con-
tending for the best possible type
because they realize that high first
cost means longer service and, con
sequently, greater economy.
