Commerce act. was favorably re-
ported to the Senate. Propon-
ents of the bonus in the Senate
will endeavor to have this bill
enacted into law before they en-
gage in the debate on tax re-
Fduction.
The bill, as il passed the House,
is said to be a disappointment to
the ex-soldiers as the compensa-
ton allowed is very small. Sena-
tor Smoot, chairman Of the SEN
ate Finance committe has esti-
mated that the bill will cost
more than five billion dollars,
Mr.. Smoot has introduced a bin
providing for paid-up life insur-
ance, payable only at death, but
based on higher values than the
20-year endowment plan adopted
by the House.
OF interest to farmers and
property owners in general, is
the bill introduced in the House
by Representative Griffin, Demo-
crat, of New York, which would
impose a special excise tax of
per cent on the full assessed
value Of unused and unimproved
lands.
The Senate passed the Consti-
tutional amendment resolution
sponsored by Senator Norris oil
Nebraska, which would provide
that newly elected Presidents
and congresses must take office
in January following their cleo,
ton. 1t is now before the House
Senator Curtis. Republican, OF

a loan Of ten million dollars by
the federal government to the as
ISOLATION.
Representative Ayres, of Kan
sas. has introduced a bill which
revives old-time fiction stories Of
the buccaneers on the high seas.
His bill provides for punishment
Of the crime of piracy wherever
vessel has on board any intoxi-
eating liquors or attempts to de-
liver this contrahand cargo TO
other vessels. lnasmuch as the
administration is negotiating
with foreign governments re-
garding treaty rights in connec-
ton with the prohibition law, this
bill will probably end in the
House Judiciary committee.
Another unusual bin intro
duced by Representative Cable.
OF Ohio, would authorize the
President ito call a conference Of

ing the principle that a married
woman should be given the same
right as a man TO retain or TO

In accordance with recon-
mendations Of Secretary Of Com
merce Hoover, Senator Cappcr.
of Kansas, has introduced a bill
to enable persons in this country
to engage in cooperative pur-
chasing for importation Of raw
commodities which are produced
principally in foreign countries.
This measure is designed to pre-
vent foreign monopolies on COM
modities essential to the Ameri-

World War Hero succumbs After Only
Few Days Illness.
Paris-General Robert George Nj
velle who commanded the French
troops at Verdun during the European
war, Is dead.
General Nivelle had been Ill only a
few days. He contracted a bad cold
which ultimately developed into
double pneumonia. He was 81 years
old.
First general of brigade and then
general OF division in the fall of 1915,
Nivelle proved his capacity for one of
the most important commands on the
western front by his brilliant cam
paigning, and was the natural choice
OF the general STAFF to continue the
work begun by General Petain before
Verdun when the latter was moved to
q higher command.
