MILLER STICKS
TO HIS BONUS
CHARGES
Treasury JuggIed Figures To
ReaI Bill; Alien Property
Custodian Declares.

Col. Thomas w. Miller, Alien.
Property Custodian, returned to
Washington today from New York
prepared to Ego to the mat" with
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon
over the question Of whether the
Government was financially able
to pay a bonus to it's world war
veterans.
Sticks By Charges.
Miller tolL International News
Service that he would stand square
ly behind the charge made in his
New York speech that high officials
of the Treasury Department had
"juggled" figures to ''mislead" both
President Harding and President
Coolidge into believing that the
Government faced q big deficit and
could not pay a soldiers bonus.
Miller's Charge brought sharp
and emphatic denial from Secretary
Mellon and It was reported at the
Treasury this morning that he con-
templated an appeal to President
retract his charge or to name the
Treasury officials involved in the
alleged Juggling Of official figures
on the Governments financial
standing.
Situation Is Acute.
The accusations made by Col.
Miller are not new, but this is the
first time that they have been given
currency by a Government official,
responsible equally to the President
with the Secretary Of the Treasury.
A situation has thus been created
which admittedly demands Execu-
tive action.
Charges that Treasury figures
were "juggled" to mislead Congress
and the country as to the state Of
the national finances in relation to
appeals for a soldiers bonus have
been made by officers Of the Ameri-
can Legion and repeated in Con-
gress. Accusers of Secretary Mellon
have pointed mainly-aS Col. Miller
did-to the estimate made during
the Harding administration that
bonus could not safely be paid be-
cause the Government faced
deficit of $500, 100000
Deficit Forecast Failed.
On the basis Of this estimate,
President Harding vetoed a soldiers
bonus bill, but 1t later turned out
that there was no deficit, but
surplus Of approximately $500, 000,.
900. This Is the same surplus which
was made the basis Of the Admin.
istration's recommendation for tax
reduction, now under consideration
| in Congress.
Col. Miller was unconeerned about
the row he had kicked up over the
bonus. He indicated he was pleased
that his charges and the denial of
Secretary Mellon had been given
wide publicity.
II don't want to enter into any
controversy with the Secretary of
the Treasury over this matter" Col.
Miller declared, but 1t is entirely
proper that the country should
have the facts. Perhaps we will
get them now"
Nothing To Add.
''Have you anything to add to
what you said in your speech?" he
was asked.
"Not word now was the reply,
but you can say that stand right
behind that"-indicating a story of
the bonus row in one Of the morn
ing papers.
It is expected that Col. Miller will
continue his attack on the Treasury
bonus figures in a speech which he
will deliver at New Brunswick,
IN, J, tomorrow.

Bishop James e. Freeman
breaches in Montgomery
County Seat.

ROCKVILLE. Md, Feb. 49,
Galen L. TAFT, collector of internal
revenue for Maryland, has arranged
to have deputy collector at the
courthouse, Rockville, March s, Z,
s, 9 and 10 to assist taxpayers in
making out their income tax re-
turns.
Go-to.Church Sunday was observed
in Rockville yesterday and, as a
result, unusually large congrega-
tons were in attendance at the
services in all churches. The pas
tors of the various churches of

such a day once a year hereafter.
The Montgomery County Social
Service League has issued an APP
peal for donations Of clothing for
school children, dresses for girls
between the ages of eight and four
teen, and shirts for boys of these
ages. Underwear for both sexes
also is needed. Such donations will
be received at the headquarters Of
the league in Rockville.
E. p. B. Margerum, for forty
years engaged in farming In Coles
vile district, this county, has kept
a record of the price of what since
1883. This record shows that the
average price, exclusive of the
four years of the world war, was
IS cents. Mr.. Margerum believes
that the farmers salvation lies in
diversified crops, SO that he will
have incomes from five or six lines,
and cooperative buying and selling.
He thinks diversification can be car
ried too far, and that six kinds Of
crops should be the limit.
Licenses have been issued by the
clerk of the circuit court here for
