Republican Senators Vote in
Party Caucus to Tackle
These important Subjects
in Order Named,
MEANS OF PROVIDING
FUNDS IS DISCUSSED
Consensus of Opinion is to
Pay Soldiers With Funds
Derived From the Sale Of
British Bonds,
tBy The Associated Prcss.)

Washington, Jan. 1S.--Senate re-
publicans voted today in party con-
ference to press the allied debt re-
funding bill and soldiers bonus
bill, in that order. There was
disagreement on details Of the
measures and the conference ad-
! iourned until tomorrow.
| The votcto press the refunding
bill was unanimous but unofficial
reports gave the result on the
bonus measure as thirty-one for
and two against, with some oppo-
nents either absent or Withholding
their votes. Republican leaders
said, however, that the size Of the
majority insured passage of a
bonus bill at this session.
Meets Some Objection.
While there was no division on
the allied debt bill, it developed
that the measure, as reported by
the finance committee, met with
some objection. inquiry being made
as to the reason for the elimination
of the provision requiring semi-an-
lnual payment of interest on the re-
funding bonds Of the debtor ma
tions. 1t was understood Senator
Borah of Idaho, and some other
republicans were ready to join with
democratic senators in demanding
that this provision be retained.
Spokesman took pains to make
it clear that the majority senator's
had declared for "a bonus bill and
not the particular bill referred
back to the senate finance commit
tee last July on the recommended
ton of President Hardinr. Some
leaders said. however. that the
measure undoubtedly would be
similar to that one insofar as the
five WAYS for payment OF adjusted
compensation were concerned.
Most os the bonus discussion
centered around means of provid-
ing necessary funds. Some favored
measure carrying merely an OBJ
legation against the government
with payments to be made out of
current receipts as money was
available, but it was said that the
preponderance of sentiment was
for a specific provision that the
financing be done with funds de-
rived from the sale Of refunding
British bonds in the United States.
This brought up the question of
sales tax or some other special tax
alton, proponents of a sales tax
arguing that some such plan would
be necessary to bridge the gap be-
tween the time of the passage OF
the bonus legislation and the time
that funds from the sale of the re-
funded British bonds would be-
come available.
Speeding Up of Work.
A general speeding up Of the
work of the senate also was said to
have been brought UP with suS-
gestions for the day and night
sessions of the finance committee.
Aside from the allied debt re-
funding bill and the bonus measure
the senate will have before 1t the
four power treaty. the tariff bill
and all annual supply measures as
well as other important matters.
With a congressional election next
November and a warm campaign
in prospect. many members Of con-
gress wish to get away frcm Wash
ington around June l.
