SENATOR MOSES
HITS FARM BLOC
ANDTAX SYSTEM
Pepper Says He Will Not
Represent Special
Interests.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. March a.
The agricultural bloc, the maternity
bill. our present tax system and the
latest suggestion for paying the
soldiers bonus were attacked BIT
terly here tonight by Senator
George II, Moses. New Hampshire.
Moses. with Senator George Whar-
ton Pepper. Pennsylvania, were the
guests OF honor at a dinner OF the
manufacturers club of this city.
Pepper told the manufacturers
that he would not be a representa-
tive Of speciS1 interests in WASH
ington. He said:
I'VE are cooperating in the DIM
cult task of securing to American
industry a fair chance to live in
Its rightful place in the sun. We
must bear in mind the thought that
no problem is rightly solved in the
Interest of one group. II is in
equilibrium of interest that peace
invariably exists"
Denounees Farm Bloc.
Pepper spoke on the ''Manufac-
turer and the Tariff. was his
first tariff speech since he took his
seat several weeks ago.
Moses arraigned the agricultural
bloc and denounced the appoint-
ment of a farmer to the Federal
Reserve Board.
The agricultural bloc" he said,
used to comprise twenty lawyers,
one editor and a well driIIer; now
II comprises nineteen lawyers. one
editor, one well driIler and one
manufacturer OF sewer pipe.
One Of the troubles in this coun-
try today Is that a number Of Luther
Burbanks have foisted upon US a
hybrid growth-a democracy graft
ed on the stem of a republic"
Calls Tax system vicIous.
Moses said the maternity bill was
q law "appropriating Sl.00O.O0O to
be used to spend S4sO.00O. with the
result that every expectant mother
of the lower class will have some
hat-chested old maid calling at, the
back door every morning to ask
how the patient is getting along"
The New Hampshire Senator de-
clarcd I'VE have one OF the most
vicious tax systems that ever ex-
isted"
Senator Moses said he will not
stand for any such legislation that
will pay. bonus Immediately TO those
who were In the service for Short
time, and twenty years from now
pay a lump sum with compound in
terest to those who served their
country for long period"

quarter of a billion of its own bonds,
the money from abroad shall come in,
in sufficient quantity to take care OF
the bonus. 1t should De said, however,
that this plan is a senatorial nope
rather than anything else. 1t is not
wholly shared by all who think We
should face the soldiers bonus pay
ments directly and straightforwardly
The root of the present embarrass-
ment lies in the dilatoriness of con-
gress about authorizing Harding to
make arrangements with the various
foreign governments. Each according
to its circumstances, about the money
they owe US.
There has never been any question
that sooner or later congress would
have to give this authorization to the
president that is and always has been
! the only conceivable way of handling
our foreign debts.
We are in the position of a creditor
whose debtors in their capacity to pay
vary all the way from reasonable ca
pacity to begin partial cash payments
now to the other extreme of near
| bankruptcy. Under these circum-
stances, the debtor nations must be
treated each according to its circum-
! stances.
| Somebody in our government must
have the authority to exercise this
discretion. But congress has been
! jealous and suspicious about giving
! this discretion to the president. If
! the authority had been given when it
was asked for more than six months
ago, the soldiers bonus bill would not
be the embarrassment to congress that
it now is.
President Harding believes in pay
ing the soldiers bonus and doing it
right Any other who have had hopes
of deferring this issue until the treas
ury is in better shape have been con
vinced by the indications of wide
spread public demand, not only on the
part of the soldiers, but also on the
part of the public generally.
The connection between the immedi
ate payments called for by the sol
diers' bonus and the uncertain receipts
from our foreign debtors weighs more
with the embarrassed congress thar
it does with those who look the facts
clearly in the face.

MIRIAM LITTLE HURT
WHEN HIT BY AUTO

Miriam Little, high school student,
and daughter of o. H. Little, 110 South
Fifteenth street, was painfully but not
seriously injured Tuesday morning
when she was struck by a machine
driven by E. K Shera, near the corner
of South Eleventh and A streets. Miss
Little was on her way to high school
when the accident occurred.
NJ. Shera was driving west on A
street approaching Eleventh street
when machine driven by S. H. Ger
ZACH, started across A street going
north toward Main. Being unable to
avoid the Gerlach machine, Mr.. Shera
struck the tire carrier on the rear with
the fender of his car. The sudden
shock swerved his car toward the curb
and smashed the left front wheel, thus
rendering his car unmanageable. Mr..
Shera stated that he could no longer
guide his car and that it continued
up over the curb and down the side
walk toward Miss Little, who was
walking west.
Could Not Escape.
| Miss Little had no time to dodge
| the oncoming car Mr.. Shera immedi
ately did all he could for her and
summoned Dr. Marvel who dressed
! the cuts. She was cut about both legs
and about the head.
! Mr.. Shera expressed keen regre,
about the accident.

ment bonds; but those whose primary
interest is in the state Of the treasury
would be seriously disturber by such
an action. Tne treasury is already un-
comfortably embarrassed by the
amount of short-term notes now out
and soon to come due.
What the treasury hopes is that in
terest rates will continue downward
and that it will be possible to refund
the governments short-term loans at
lower rate of interest. But If an
other large issue of government notes
is thrown on the market interest rates
will stop going downward and turn up
ward again.
That way of paying the soldier
bonus would make us pay it twice
once in the shape of the principal sum
and again in the shape of increased
interest over a period of years; in
creased interest not only on the bonus
bonds, but on all other government
obligations.

vaguely that somehow or other enough
money may be got out of our foreign
debtors, directly or indirectly, to make
