OPPOSES BONUS PLAN
President Insists on Sales Tax
to Furnish Fund.
HARDING Serves Notice Upon Congress
That Soldier Bill Must Carry
Provision.

washington, March 9.-PresIdent
Harding served warning upon congress
that the soldier bonus bill must carry
the sales tax.
There was a strong intimatlon that
the Insurance certificate plan, or any
other form of a bonus measure that
does not include the sales tax, will be
vetoed If it reaches the White House,
The White House announcement,
coming on the heels of an agreement
among Republican leaders in the house
to force the passage Of the insurance
certificate plan, threw the bonus and
sales tax opponents at the capitol into
CONSERVATION.
The program that had been carefully
worked out by Republican House Lead
er Mondcll, Chairman Fordney Of the
ways and means committee, Chairman
Campbell Of the house rules committee
and other influential leaders, to defeat
the bonus by forcing the certificate
scheme through the house, was halted,
The bonus opponents are without a
program, and it Is probable that the
ways and means committee viii recon
slider the whole bonus problem before
permitting the bin to be considered by

lots can be found anywhere in the city
and homeseekers would act wisely to
look them over.
The rapidity with which the city

more years since the Hackney resi-
