HOUSE DEBATES
 TAX AND BONUS
Continued from Page one)

Green that with surplus of nearly s400, GOO, ,000 in sight" Congress, even if it did enact the soldiers bonus bill, would mot, in my opinion, look fav- orably upon the imposition of any new taxes"
 Some suggestion has been made, he declared that if the bonus bill is adopted some new plan of taxation should be presented to provide for the expenditure arising under it, but it is quote clear that the new reve- nue bill should include all of our system of taxation and not leave 1t to be modified or changed by some further provision"
 No Election Yet.
 The Senate will resume it's battle of ballots tomorrow, but with the re- publican insurgents apparently d. vided and the Christmas recess only two days away, it appeared likely that the contest would go over until after the holidays. Thus far 29 bal lots have been taken.
 Senator Smith. democrat. South Carolina, continued to lead on every ballot today, but he failed at any time to draw more than three insur- gent votes and never was closer than four votes to the necessary majority. Senator Cummins, republican, Iowa, who is up for reelection, ran a close second. He threw his own vote to Senator Couzens, republican, Michi- gan, who has been indorsed for the committee ehairmanship by Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin, the insur- gent leader.
 Drawing the votes of Senators Johnson, republican, California, and Borah, republican, Idaho, Mir. Couzens increased by two on the first ballot the 12 votes he received on the last ballot yesterday He did not hold his republican, North Dakota, and Sem ators Shipstead and Johnson, farmer labor, Minnesota, finally switching over to Smith. @ Couzens Backed.
 Some of the insurgents said they would continue to vote for Senator Couzens tomorrow In the belief that he could show greater strength than he did today. It is the view of re- publican leaders, however, that Sem ator Couzens cannot win unless there is an unlocked for development, as his election would break the senior ity precedent
 Whether Senator Smith can draw enough insurgent votes to insure his election also is question. One of the insurgents said they could not have thrown enough votes to him to- day to enable him to win.
 Senator Bruce, democrat, Maryland, continued to vote for Senator Cum mins, but there were no other defec- tions in the democratic ranks.
