ASK MELLON AND OTHERS
TO RESTATE OBJECTIONS

q WASHINGTOS, March 14.-Another
temporary delay on the soldier "bOnus"
legislation was forced today by Demo
cratic members of the House Ways and
Means Committee.
At the insistence Of Representative
Garner, Democrat Texas, the committee
which met intending to report out the
bill, decided to extend an invitation to
Secretary Of Treasury Mellon, Comptrol-
Ter of Currency d. Il. Crissinger, and
Governor W. p. G. Harding of the Fed
eral Reserve Board, to appear before the
committee in open session this afternoon
to restate their opposition to the present
bill.
A message from President Harding
giving his exact position on the 81 onus"
bill which House Republicans long have
sought was rumored today to be on its
way here from the Presidents vacation
way here from Florida.
According to reliable information the
latest word from the President is being
sent to Chairman Fordney Of the House
Ways and Means Committee and is in
response to appeals of Administration
leaders In the House for a definite word
from the executive as to whether he
would veto the latest efforts of the
bonus bill trainers.
Fordney declared, however, he had fs-
ceived no communication and his full
committee was going ahead to report out
the measure.
The House, however, is going to pass
the bill, its leaders say. What happens
to 1t in the Senate or at the Presidents
veto desk is a matter about which the
"bonusers" are not troubling themselves
at the moment.

RHINE CLAIM
EXCHANGES TO-
BE VIGOROUS
U. S. officials Chafe
Over Division of Ger
man Marks.
SLAP FOR SENATE
European View Not
Tenable in Eyes Of
Administration.

WASHINGTON, March II. "A
new series of diplomatic exchanges
that will speak the American at
titude toward European affairs with
more vigor than anything that has
gone before, IS about to open up as
a result Of the allied governments
splitting billion gold marks among
themselves and ignoring Americas
claim for reimbursement for the
American Army of Occupation.
High Administration officias stated
today that Strong representations" will
be made in the matter Il the official
report from Roland W. Boyden, the
American representative On the repara-
tiOns committee, confirms the attitude Of
the allies that has been reported in press
dispatches. This attitude apparently is,
officials said, that America can wait"
or if not caring to wait, can proceed to
collect from Germany direct.
SLAP AT sENATE's
FAILURE TO RATIFY.
1t is the evident intention Of the al
lied governments, as seen by officials
here, to deny that the United States has
any rights at all under the treaty Of
Versailles, because the Senate failed to
ratify the pact.
This position is untenatle, accord
ing to administration officials, be-
cause Europe already tacitly has ad-
mitted American rights under the treaty
in the case Of the inundated islands. 1t
was American insstence upon these
rights that resulted in the recognition
of the American claim on the Island Of
zap, subsequently resulting in the zap
treaty.
While Administration officials fire.
quently have been ''riled" over European
affairs in the last year, nothing has so
aroused their ire as the perfunctory turn
down accorded the American demand for
a share Of Germany's indemnity to meet
the Rhine costs.
UNABLE To UNDERSTAND
DISPUTED CLAIM.
The priority of the American occupa-
tion claim IS so well established under
the terms Of the Armistice, the Treaty Il
Versailles and the separate treaty be-
tween the United States and Germany,
that officials here declare they are unable
10 understand the legal or moral back
ground for the allies disputing it.
The impression prevails in some quar-
ters that allied pique over the summary
refusal of the United States TO engage in
the Genoa economic conference Is in some
measure responsible for the rebuff to the
American claim.

Income Tax Receipts to
Be Lowest in FTUe Years
Experts Declare Payna ents for 1922 VIII Dis
count Last Year S9OO,OOO,OOO.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-Income
taxes reported to the Government this
year will be the smallest in five years,
Treasury officials estimated tOday--"the
eleventh hour" for filing 1921 returns.
The total Of income and profits taxes,
which viii be reported by midnight to-
morrow will approximate only 81 900 00O,-
600 tax experts believed. This is nearly
$1,000, 900, 600 under the amount reported
two years ago and 100000 under the
amount last year. At the peak Of the
war profits period, the Government re-
ceived in excess of S4,0O0,0O0,OOO year
from these taxes.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon esti-
mates the initial payments Of Federal
taxes, which must accompany the filing Of
returns, will net the Government not
more than S4O0OOO,0 ,0OO-the smallest
amount since 1917.
The slump in taxes is attributed to the
depression which hit the country with
full force last year. Secondary causes
are increased exemptions allowed this
wear. With returns fled this year, the
excess profits tax goes out of existence,
it having been repeated as Of Jan. 1,
1922
Approximately one-eighth OF the in
come tax payments will come from l.
0SS wealthy individuals, the Treasury es-
Inmates. This year, these persons whose
Income is in excess Of 100000 a year,
will have a combined Income of approx
mately s425 100000 Of which the Gov
ernment will take approximately half In
return taxes.
No return is available as to the number
Of returns that win be filed, but it is
believed IL will not exceed $500, 900. All
persons with incomes Of 81, 900 or more
mush file returns. During the war period
the total was in excess Of 100000.

Results.

River bottom lands Of Central Indiana
were Inundated today by heavy rains.
Continued rain through the day with
low temperature tomorrow was forecast
by J. H. Arlington, Government weather
bureau man here.
ID Flood conditions viii not become se-
Yious generally in the State, Arlington
said, unless the rainfall continues more
than expected.
Between one and two inches Of rain
have fallen through a narrow strip IN
the central part Of the State during the
night and early today. This affects
White River especially, Mr. Armin gton
said, but it likely will not result in a
flood OF large proportions.

Ford Will be this years largest tax
payer with a payment Of SCI ,000,0 000 This
would be an income In excess Of $50,0O0,-

Another is that King George Of England

paying Income tax here annually on IN
yestments. The tax is said to be taken
out of their dividends, by their represen-
tatives here before the money is sent to
them. All these stories lack veriflcation

ionship was given by Isaiah Moore, 30,

fined charged with bigamy and embez-
element.

Minneapolis.
1t was wife No. IL who caused Moore's
arrest. She is Harriet Evans Of Vim

WASHINGTON, March IL dminis-
tration Senator'S rallied to the supl ort of
the four-power treaty in the Seua.e this
afternoon and in a series of speeches
urged the Senate mot to nullify" the
works of the armament conference by re-
jecting the Pacific pact.
Senator Lenroot, Republican, WiscOn-
sin. led Off for the treaty supporters. He
declared rejection Of the four power
treaty would wreck the conference" and
bring the United States inevitably closer
to the menace of war.
Rejection of the first proposal to
amend the fourpo Pacific treaty tex
tually was expected to give its supporters
their first victory, but not to reveal con-
clusively the probable lineup on ratif-
cation.
Only a majority vote is required by the
Senate rules to reject either an amend
ment or a reservation proposed to a
treaty; a thirds vote is necessary
to ratify.
Senator Lodge, the Republican leader,
commanded, as the battle over the treaty
was renewed, an ample majority to insure
the defeat Of the pending amendment
which was sponsored by Senator Robin
son, Democrat, Of Arkansas.
AS modified by Robinson, the amend
ment would include China, Siberia and
the rest of the Asiatic mainland within
the terms Of the treaty and would pro-
vide not only for a conference between
the four powers signatory to it whenever
a dispute arose between them, but of
other nations having territorial or other
interests in the Pacific and the Far East.
The amendment would apply the
League of Nations plan to the Pacific
and the Orient and would, in the judg-
ment # Senator Lodge, destroy the pur-
pose and effect of the treaty.
An almost solid phalanx Of Republican
votes was expected to be mustered
against he amendment, with whatever
Democratic support Senator Underwood,
the Democratic leader would be able to
command.
