PRESIDENT SAYS OTHERWISE IS.
SUE MAY BE DELAYED-sEN-
TiMENT AGAINST BONUS.
PLAN is BEING OPPOSED
Many Leaders Oppose Hardina's La
test Method of Paying the Bonus.
Indications Point to Delay In
Settling Matter.

Washington. - Pay the soldiers
bonus with general sales tax or
postpone the legislation is President
Harding's advice to congress.
Chairman Fordney of the House
ways and means committee. and Nc
Cumber of the Senate finance commit
tee, said they did not think the bonus
would be postponed, but were silent
as 30 a sales tar.
Leaders OF the agricultural bloc
were outspoken, however, against
this tax and threatened to counter
with q programme which would in
clude reenactmen& of the excess prof
its and higher income sslrtaxes and
an increase In inheritance and some
other such taxes. This plan also was
favored by some Democratic leaders.
Proponents of sales tax professed
to be confident that because Of the
strong desire In both the House and
Senate to put through the bonus bill
at this session a majority OF the
members would come to accept this
| levy rather than see the bonus pro
gramme defeated.
Pending more careful consideration
| OF the whole problem and possible
further reaction from the country.
there seemd to be disposition on
| all sides TO move slowly. The preei.
dents letter, addressed to Representa-,
tive Fordney. was read at a joint
meeting of Republican members OF
the House and Senate committees
dealing with the bonus question, who
agreed after scme discussion to leave
the matter in the hands of the
majority members of the House COM
| mittee.
| 1t was announced that those mem
bers would meet tomorrow, but II
was indicated that the tax question
would mot be taken up Immediately
| Officers of the American Legion will
be called in first, it was stated, to
| give their views as to Mr.. Harding 8
suggestion that instead of extending
the cash payments over two and one.
half years, payments be deferred
until "the day when we may safely
undertake to pay at once in full"
Leaders generally, both Republican
and Democratic members said Vt was
too early to undertake any prediction
as to whether. If the issue finally
came down the bonus bill with q
sales tax provision would be defeat
ed. Some thought that many of those
now opposed to sales tax would ac
cept it rather than vote against the
bill, but asserted that it probably
would be several days. at least, be
fore there would be q capitalization
of sentiment of which he would be
safe to base a forecast.
In suggesting general sales tax
as 'the only commendabae pan" oi
raising funds, Mr. Harding said he be
lieved dne American people would &C
cept such levy for this purpose, ad
ding that 1t would distribute the cost
so that It would be borne by all o1
the people and would not contribute
added difficulties to the problems o
readjustments.

Great Northern, the Michigan Central,
New Haven & Hartford, the Norfolk
& Western, the Pennsylvania and the
Southern Pacific system already OPP
crate by electricity. Benefits found
are reduction In fuel cost, in main
tenance cost, elimination Of coaling
engines, Increased tonnage per train,
increased speed on grades, increased
reliability, reduced train crews, In
creased safety, reduced damage and
wear on equipment, reduced deprecia-
tion on tracks and improved atmos-
pheric conditions. Noise also Is elm
mated The child of the future may
not identify railroad train as a
"choo-choo."
Electric Operation Cheaper.
All operating costs considered, the
experts figure that there is net saw
ing of 25 per cent In electric opera
tion Of railroad trains as compared
with steam. An analysis made by the
Norfolk & Western railroad revealed
that the fuel cost Of running an cleo
trio locomotive 100 miles was $4495,
compared with a cost of $72.42 for
steam locomotive.
II Is estimated that power can be
transmitted by cable for a distance
of 200 miles before the leakage makes
the transmission wasteful. In many
sections of the country no railroad
is more than 200 miles distant from a
coal mine But in the non-coal-produc-
ing regions, the mine-mouth electrical
plants would be supplemented, under
the plan, by hydro-electric power
plants.
The nation is rich in water power,
by far the greater part Of which Is
undeveloped. The general scheme of
railroad and Industrial electridcation
would include greater power develop
ment from the streams. Between
these hydro-electric plants and the
coal-consuming power plants the coun-
try could be covered with network
of power cables which would serve
every purpose.
Some coal movement wculd con-
tinue. such as that for domestic heat
ing, but the great bulk of-the coal
transported to run railroads and fac
tories would not leave the mines. Its
energy would be shipped by wire.
Such. stupendous development
could not be realized in day. 1t
would be the work Of many years, but
with the forces of the government,
supplemented by the support Of the
great industrial and railroad corpora
tions, 1t might be feasible undertak-

Plan for Conversion of Coal Into
Electric Current Where
1t Is Mined.
IT WOULD MEAN VAST SAVING
Transportation Of the Fuel Would Be
Avoided, and Fewer Men Would Be
Required in Ono Branch
Of Worlds Work.

Woshington.-A plan for the con-
the mouths Of coal mines and trans
mitting the currents to the Industrial
consuming centers has been called to
the attention Of the President, Secre-
tary Of Commerce Hoover and other
high officials of the government.
In proportion TO Its value, both In
money and Indicating power, coal Is
inordlnately bulky. More>-tlan one
third of the total railroad freight Of
the United States Is coal!--0n some
roads In coal-producing sections coal
amounts to 80 per cent of all the
freight hauled. A very large portion
Of this coal is railway fuel--that Is,
coal TO fire the engines which haul
the trains.
Louis Brandeis, now an associate
Justice of the Supreme court of the
United States, In his brief in the Five
Per Cent case before the Interstate
commerce commission estimated that
when all items of cost to the railroads
Of buying and hauling their own coal
were added the total would be $780,
100000 Since that estimate was
made, prices and costs have increased
and the railroad coal bill has amount
cd to s7OO,OOO,OOO.
To transport coal to meet the Amer
lean demand, 100000 cars are en-
ployed annually and Of these 2,600,-
600 cars are employed In hauling coal
and other traffic. These figures have
been nled with the interstate com
merce commission.
Thu commission has found in one
Of its Investigations into the coal traf
nc, tNat approximately 97 per cent Of
all the coal cars return to the mines
empty.
These figures give an impression of
the extent to which the transportation
system Is burdened with the move
ment Of this bulky material and show
how much more railroad equipment
would be available for general freight
II the power which springs from coal
could be handled In another manner.
Power Plants at Mip,s.
In general outline the new plan
would provide for the erection at the
coal mines Of gigantic power plants.
The coal would be brought up just
fast enough to be put into the

furnaces and maintain n steady head
ing.
One of the underlying reasons for
discontent among coal miners and
therefore one of the main causes of
the coal strike is the intermittency in
the industry. The big demand for
summer months It falls Off Coal is
mined as the market calls for 1t.
Therefore, when the demand Is light
there is little mining to be done. The
men are thrown out OF employment.
The result Is that coal miners work
but from 165 to 21O days year.
While their wages are regarded as
good their work is not steady and
therefore their earnings for the year
are not large.
1t Is the opinion Of experts that the
coal industry is overmanned. There
are some 100000 men engaged in 1t.
Under the power plan, the intermit-
tency In the work of coal miners
would be eliminated. The coal would
be feeding machines running steadily
and not an ever-changing open-market
demand
Fewer Men Would Be Needed.
The requirements Of the power gen
orators could be reckoned In advance
with fair amount Of accuracy and
the coal could be kept coming above
ground regularly all the year round.
Fewer men would be required to take
care of this production and while the
change would throw many thousands
out of work II would be gradual and
ultimately would result In clear
economic gain, II is claimed. Fewer
men would be doing one branch Of
the worlds work. The remainder
would become engaged in other pro
ductive labor.
The first step In the plan for the
electrifcation Of the nation Is the
changing over of railroads from steam
to electric power. The railroads cross
the country In every direction and the
cities and Industries which consume
power are built up along their tracks.
Power cables would parallel the
tracks. but would carry so much more
power than would be required for the
railways that the surplus would he
ample for diversion to the cities en-
route. This would run the mills and
factories, light the cities and furnish
power for municipal traction lines.
When William G. McAdoo was di-
rector general of railroads during
federal control In the wartime, he
said that If government control were
to be permanent or even long ex-
tended his first step would be the
electrifcation of the railroads. Some
of the roads have taken the step al
ready. Miles Of the Baltimore & Ohio,
the Boston & Maine, the Chicago,

AUDI0 FREQUENCY

Theoretically any number of trans

quency amplification can be used.
However, due to the amplifcation Of

Since audio frequency amplifying

coupling, the construction Of two audio
frequency amplifier units will be de-
scribed.
The first unit will be arranged to

roices-more than 1000 phono-

races-has been collected by
Prof. Wilhelm Doegen of the

from this extraordinary museum
he could start a movement which
would solldify peace In the

general idea about the Ghurkas
is that they are savage tribe
