tentatively fixed for Wednesday aft

HOUSE REPUBLICANS TO PUSH
BONUS MEASURE MEET
T0PuT RESOL UT|ON INTO SHAPE
To Make Measure Continuing
Business Before House When
Reported from Committee
Tax on Checks, Gasoline and
Three Cent Postage Suggest
ed as Means Raising Neces-
sary Money

Washington, Jan. 23.--Call for a
caucus Thursday night of Republican
members of the House on the soldier
bonus question was issued today. I'M
mediate action on an adjusted com
pensation bill has been demanded by
a group Of members who were in the
military service during the war.
At the Thursday night conference
they plan to offer resolution instruct
ing the ways and means committee 10
proceed at once to the drafting of a
bonus measure. The resolution also
will provide that when reported to
the House the measure is to be the
continuing business until passed. The
House leaders say no effort would be
made at the caucus to instruct the
ways and means committee as to how
it should provide for the raising of
necessary revenue. That question
will be determined, it was said, by
the committee with the probability
that the Republican membership later
at a caucus will take stand on the
plan proposed.
Data upon possible new methods OF
taxation with which to raise funds for
a bonus has been prepared by the
treasury department. it was said, for
the information of Congress.
Officials of the treasury said. how
ever, that the department would await
requests for such information before
transmitting it to Congress. At the
same time it was said that the treas
urys position with regard to the advis-
ability of a bonus for veterans of the
World War was unchanged, the enact
ment of compensation legislation I'M
der existing conditions being viewed
with dsfavor.
In the opinion of the trea sury. high
officials said it would cost more to
raise the money for soldier bonus
from the sale of bo.,cs based on the
debts of the allied nations than it
would to float the country's own obli-
cations.
Data compiled by the treasury for
the information of Congress was IN
derstood to cover various fields of pos
sible taxation without, however. con-
sidcring a sales tax as practical So
luton of the problem of getting money
to pay bonus.
The trea sury, it was added. consid-
ers as advisable. and has already sug-
gcsted. a tax of two cents on all bark
checks which it is estimated would
produce revenue of 100000 900 a
year, while further revenue m Shit he
obtained from increasing taxes on nc
gotiable instruments.
According to the trea Sury's esti-
mates. approximately $50 600 a
year could be obtained from tax OIL
gasoline levied at three cents a gal
Ion.
Increased postage through use OF a
three-cent stamp, it was thought,
would produce approximately $4,000
600 year.
On the basis of the pending Nc
Cumber bill. the treasury estimated
that it would be necessary to provide
approximately $500, 900 900 in the first
two years after the enactment of COM
pensation legislation.

uously in order to get through on
schedule time. Not to exceed two
minutes was allowed for changing
mounts. The route westward from
St. Joseph lay south of west until
it struck the old overland military
road at Kennekuk, ~ miles out.
Thence it diverged northwesterly
across the Kickapoo Indian reser-
walton via Granada, Log Chain, Sc
coca, Ash Point, Guittard's, Marys-
vile and Hollenberg; on over roll
ing prairies to the Platte river and
due west to Fort Kearney. Often
the rider passed close to great
droves of deer and antelope and
vast herds of buffalo. The trail
followed by the express riders was
the one taken by the Mormons a
decade earlier, and afterwards by
the Argonauts who went overland
to California after gold was found
there.
OF the 80 riders employed on the
line, at times 40 were in the saddle
going west and 10 riding east. Each
day every rider covered an average
distance of 40 miles. The weight
of the mail carried was limited to
10 pounds. At first S. per half
ounce was charged for carrying let
tiers, but shortly after the express
went into operation the government
ordered the rates reduced to 81 per
half-ounce, which continued until
the telegraph was completed and
the express went out of business.
The riders often had to grapple
with sudden and unforeseen dan
gers, such as snowslides in the
mountain passes, roaring torrents,
terrific wind storms and binding
rain, but it was seldom that a stage
was not completed on time. The
schedule settled down to ten days
for eight months of the year and
II days for the other four months.
The most serious interruption of
the express came within two
months of its establishment, when
an outbreak of Piute, Shoshone and
Bannock Indians resulted in the
burning of several stations and the
murder of several station keepers.
The riders had several desperate
