REVENUE BILL VETO
BELIEVE CERTAIN IF
BONUS IS ATTEMPTED
House Due to Act Today on
Compensation Measure
House Move Next Week

WASHINGTON. May 1.-THE fafe
of the TeE Bill, now in conferences.
appears boday to depend largely on
the senate's action on the President'1
veto of the Bonus Bill. 1t is freely
stated in Administration circles thar
the President will be compelled to
veto the tax bill unless congress
finds some way to make up the
$500. 100000 deficit which treasury
officials say the enactment Of the
bonus bill will cause.
The House votes today on the veto
of the bonus bill. Friends of the bill
cite the vote of 355 to 81, by which
it was passed as an indication of
the large margin by which the veto
will be rejected. The veto message
will be taken up after the reading OF
the journal. While debate is not
prohibited. il is expected that the
roll call will follow in short order.
Since the House is sure to override
the veto, it is in the Senate that
preparations are being made for the
real contest. Every effort is being
put forth to swing over enough
doubtful senators to kill the meas
ure. The best guess today il that
the President still lacks two votes 10
sustain his veto. Senators Smoot OF
Utah and Reed of Pennsylvania, 4c-
tive in the Presidents behalf are
hopeful. though not willing to make
any definite statement. senate &C
ton on the veto is expected Monday
] or Tuesday.
| While mbers of the Conference
| committee on the tax bill are pledged
| to secrecy. it is understood that the
chief points of contention thus far
have been the senate amendments
for publicity of tax returns and for
a graduated tax on undistributed
corporation profits. Good headWas
has been made on the numerous
minor amendments, it Is said, though
a report on the bill is not expected
before the latter part of next week.
The senate proposal for tax return
publicity was assailed in a statement
by Secretary Hoover as unfair 10
small business and as opening the
door to fraud.
Interest in the move to override
the veto has centered principally or
the senate since the President took
his action, and the lineup in that
chamber is expected to be close
Friends of the bill have claimed
enough votes there to assure its re-
passage when it comes to vote next
week. but polls taken yesterday in
dicated that three or four switches
by supporters might result in sus-
tanning the veto.

ON INJUNCTION
y
Of Public Service Against the
State on Valuations Put
on Property

TRENTON, May 17.-Judge Rell-
stab today filed with the clerk of
the United States district court a
memorandum handing down a final
decree in the injunction proceedings

companys lines of the zoning system
of fares.

holds a previous decision of the fed
eral district court, where three
judges sat on the case, declaring
that the utility boards valuation OF
the public railway company's prop
erty was palpabIy below the true
values.
