AIM TO FORCE VOTE
ON NB0NUSBY IAN. q.
Republican War Veterans in
House to Seek Action
by Committee.

A House vote on the soldier bonus
by the end of January. regardless of
the status of the administrations tax
the group of republican representa-
tives who are war veterans.
Petitions are in circulation calling
for a conference of republican mem
bers OF the House on the night of
January 10. Under the proposed call
no business except the bonus would
come UP. and It is the plan Of those
behind the movement to have the
conferences instruct the wayE and
means committee to report a bonus
bill not later than January 2I. The
conference also would be asked to
agree to immediate consideration of
the measure by the House once 1t re-
ceives committee approval.
Meets With Plans.
The plans of the former service
men in a measure fit in with those of
republican members of the ways and
means committee, which has jurisdic-
tion over both the tax and bonus bills.
The committee has been considering
administrative prbvisions of the rev.
enue bill, with the understanding that
before any study of the proposed rate
changes is begun a decision will be
reached as to whether a bonus bill
should be reported
Executive committee sessions on
the tax bill have been suspend ed un-
til Thursday, when the measure aEain
VIII be taken up. Members, incIud-
Ing Chairman Green, have predicted
that week or more will be needed
to complete consideration of admin
istrative features, and there have been
indications that some Of the commit
tee members believe it should post
pone action on the bonus until the
republican party conference can pass
on the question.
VIII Clear Way for Tax.
With sentiment In the House over
whelmingly in favor of the passage
of a bonus bill, even opponents Of
the legislation concede that the con-
ference will instruct the ways and
means committee to report a bill
and will be inclined to give the
measure right of way in the House.
Such action, 1t was generally
agreed, today, will clear the way for
showdown, in the ways and means
committee at least, on the tax Ques-
ton. The text of the Treasury's tax bill.
which Secretary Mellon has esti-
mated would reduce. taxes S323, ,000,-
900 annually, was made public yes
terday by Chairman Green. The
draft, a bulky volume carrying hun
dreds of proposed amendments to the
existing revenue law, many of them
of a technical nature, follows close
1y the lines which Mr.. Mellon had
announced his department favored.

Highway Legislation is
Important Topic Now
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE HOLD
MEETING TO DISCUSS PRoPos-
ED HIGHWAY LEGISLATION

Senator Geo. Staudenmeyer, Chair
man of the Joint Senate and Assembly
Committee on Highways of the Wis
consin Legislature, has issued the fol
lowing statement for the public inform
alton regarding the present status of
highway legislation in the State legis
Iature:
Ever since the appointment Of the
Legislative Committees, the Senate
and Assembly Committees have been
meeting jointly to discuss proposed
highway legislation. The views of Gev
ernor Blaine were taken into consider
alton, of members of the legislature,
and the Report of the Legislative Com
mittee of the Wisconsin County
Boards Association and other interest
ed parties.
After careful consideration of every
angle, the Committee decided that it
was necessary to raise $8,000,000 to
carry out the state program of high
way construction and maintenance,
and that this sum should be raised by
graduated license fee based on the
weight of motor vehicles, beginning
at $1,000 and increasing up. This was
the determination of the Committee
and the bill, as it is introduced, will
be the Committee bill and not a bill
prepared by Mr. A. R. Hirst, State
Highway Engineer. This statement is
made in justice to both the members
of the Committee and Mr. Hirst
Having determined the funds
which they deem necessary to make
available, and the method of raising
this fund, this Committee has called
Mr.. Hirst in consultation with a view
to having him work out details such
as the number of cars of different
| types, their weights, and thelicense
fees necessary in order to raise the
total highway fund needed. At an
early date the bill will be reported
| to the legislature as the matured
/ judgment of the committee which has
considered the highway program nee
essary and the equitable and feasible
plan of making the funds available.' -

oriuIn of "Douohboy,"

The word "doughboy" is a slang
military term applied to an infantry
man in the United States army. The
word dates from the Civil war when
army wit was aroused by the large
globular brass buttons on infantry
uniforms Someone-he must have
been a sailor dubbed the buttons
"doughboys' because they reminded
him of the boiled dumplings of raised
dough that are so frequently served
in ships messes and are known to
all sailors as "doughboys."
