"The company said that one reason

more SO is. the companys dollar,

M ORMON SMOOT
RUSHING NELL ON
TAX REDUCTIONS
Bonus Payments Put OFF
Until 1925

WASHINGTON, April "a With
the bonus bill safely upon its way to
becoming a law, Chairman Reed
Smoot prepared to call up the Mel
lon bill as reported by his finance
committee. The bill makes drastic
cuts in surtaxes on the rich.
The bonus bill in its passage dis
played potential strength enough to
become a law even tho President
Coolidge afixes his veto, as congress-
ional leaders expect.
No Payments Until 1925.
BY amending the bill. they provided
that no payments can be made to a
soldier until after July 1, 1925. BY
that time, the administration and
Congress elected next November, will
have taken office and will have had
plenty of time to put over cash
measure.
The bonus will go to conference be-
fore Friday, when slight Differences
between the Senate and house bills
will be ironed out. 1t will get to
President Coolidge by the first OF
next week.
Terms of Bonus Bill.
Here is what the bonus bill, as
passed by the Senate and House,
provides:
Compensation to veterans on the
basis Of 81 day for home service
and $1.25 a day for overseas serv-
ice, with maximum basic compensa-
ton of $500 and $625 respectively
for the two classes Of service. The
first sixty days of service are not
counted in computing basic compen-
sation.
To veterans to whom $50 or less
is due, payment in cash.
To veterans due $50 or more, the
issuance of 2O-year paid up endow-
ment insurance policies. The face
value of the policies is figured by
increasing the basic compensation
due the veteran by rs per cent plus
compound interest on the figure so
obtained at the rate Of Az per cent
for 20 years.
The resulting figure is multiplied
by an arbitrary number derived
from accepted actuarial principles.
For example, the multiplying figure
for a veteran 32 years old, the aver
age veterans age is 23.17.
The maximum value Of a policy
obtainable for an overseas veteran
OF long service is between $1,000
and $500.
Policy holders may borrow up to
80 per cent of the value of their
policies from banks after three
years.

'Thus Germany becomes vassal
state and German industry pays an
annual tribute to allied industry that
will hold it in position of inferiority
for generations to come. The treaty
began the work of subiugating Ger
man industry; the Dawes report caps
the climax. There is nothing more to
do except to collect
Busy Business Men.
General Dawes and his associates
are business men and economic ex-
perts. They make this clear in the
first paragraph of the report: 1--WE
have approached our task as business
men anxious to obtain effective re-
suits" Consequently there is nothing
in the report that reflects any interest
in the human problems involved. 1t
is exactly such document as might
be penned by reorganization com
mittee in charge of bankrupt rail
road. The one great object of the re-
organizers is to get the concern back
on dividend paying basis.
How is this end to be accomplished
in the case OF Germany?
"The Dawes report makes two gen.
eral recommendations dealing
with the sources from which Germany
might draw the funds with which to
meet her treaty obligations, and the
other dealing with the sterilization OF
German finance. Both OF these recon.
|mendations are made on the SUPPOSE
ton that the German people will con-
tinue to meet the obligations imposed
by the treaty during at least fifty
years.
The New German Bank.
"The Dawes plan centers around the
creation of a new German bank, with
a capital of 400,O00,OO0 gold marks,
and a board of directors, supervised
by general board consisting of seven
Germans and seven foreigners, one
from each of the following countries:
Belgium, France, Italy, Britain, Hol-
land, Switzerland and the United
States. The new bank is to be adj
ministered by German president,
who will act as general manager, but
the final authority will rest with one
OF the foreign members of the gen.
eral board, who is to be known as the
commissioner. Altho a vote of ten
out OF the fourteen members of the
general board is necessary for a de-
cision, the real key to the German
banking situation will rest outside Of
Germany.
The capital of the new bank is to
be subscribed partly in Germany and
partly abroad. The relative amounts
are left to the determination of the
general board.
There are two significant things
about this k-characteristics that
earmark the entire Dawes report: it
is to have entire charge of the issue
OF paper money in Germany for the
next fifty years, and it is to be a pri-
vate bank, or, as the report calls it,
a bankers bank
THE right to issue money, in any
modern community. is so vital to pub
lie affairs and to private business that
it is the real pivotal in the economic
system. In modern times this right
has been generally regarded as func-
ton of government. Sometimes the
right to issue money has been dele
gated to private banks, as it is in the
United States, but only under the
most stringent restrictions. In the
case Of the Dawes bank, however, the
German government is to participate

said Wheeler, "Daugherty has taken

"There lin Russia), no doubt, new
inspirations were advanced" he con-

ImperIaIist France Peevish.

PARIS. April 24.-President Cool
idge's address in New York yesterday
closes the door to French hopes for
discussion of war debts in connection
with the experts plan for a PREPARATION
settlement, in the opinion Of authori-
tative French sources here today.
"Mr. Coolidge's statements mean
the total Of Germany's debt cannot be
reduced because France must demand
81 billion gold marks additional to be
able to pay the United States and Eng
land" the Petit Journal said in dis
cussing the address.
French authorities unanimously be-
lieved the Presidents speech will have
a definite effect upon development Of
the experts plan, because it dispels
Europe's constant hope that the Unit.
ed States would consent to a discus
sion of war debts in connection with
her participation in a reparations set
Element along the lines laid down in
the Dawes report.

marks on the foreign situation, say.
ing:
"The United States already has
started its presidential campaign bat.
tie, and It is apparent the Japanese
are not the only people who are going
to suffer hard knocks as a result"
All in all France felt today that
there has been no essential change in
the American position and that the
possibility Of at least getting a reduc.
ton in her debt to America in connec.
ton with the reparations settlement
still is as remote as ever.

German Capitalists Greet Loan.

BERLIN, April 24.-German capital
lists today greeted President Cool
idge's speech as expressing full ap-
proval Of the Dawes plan for a repara-
tions settlement and at the same time
a broad hint to France that America
viii disapprove any effort to sabotage
the plan.
The speech heartened the govern
ment, especially Mr.. Coolidge's declar-
alton in favor Of the loan to Germany.
Government officials felt the Presi-
dents public approval of the proposed
loan will assure its full subscription.
Inasmuch as the government has re-
garded the proposed loan as recon-
mended in the Dawes report as the
first prerequisite for adjustment of
reparations, it is felt that the move
ment for a settlement of the involved
problem is advanced considerably.

COOLIDGE SUITS
FRENCH RULERS
AS MORGAN MAN
N. Y. Speech Shows That
Calvin Is Safe


PARIS, April 24.-Coolidge is still
the favorite presidential possibility as
far as Poincare diplomats are con.
cerned. His New York speech has
convinced them that the cautious New
Highlander is a 100 per cent ]. P. Nor
gan man.
J. P. Morgan is the power behind
the present French government, and
it is regarded as highly important
here that Morgan man again occupy
the White House in order that the
United States coordinate its activities
with those of France.
Coolidge's unqualified Endorsement
Of the Dawes Morgan Preparations plan
was expected, of course. Oficially the
French government claims that the
Dawes plan is not drastic enough, but
privately they realize that it puts the
last ounce of pressure on Germany
compatible with her continued ability
to pay.
~y Think Cal Was Kidding.
As for the Coolidge implication that
the Ruhr will have to be abandoned
soon, the French do not take that too
seriously. They believe that certain
parts of his speech, as certain phrases
in the wording Of the Dawes report,
are for political purposes only.
Not Alarmed by Disarmament.
There is official objection also to
the disarmament talk Coolidge in
dUlged in, but that again is felt to be
for political propaganda purposes
only. It is realized that an anti-mili-
taristic sentiment exists in the United
States, largely as a reaction against
the last war, in spite of the noisy
demonstrations and publicity Of the
militarists. Knowing the necessity of
a politician blowing hot and cold, the
Poincare government does not look
with much unkindness on this.
Disarmament Wouldn't Do.
If Coolidge we're sincerely in favor of
disarmament it would be a horse of
another color. France maintains her
European hegemony by force of arms.
She occupied the Ruhr by force of
arms and by the menace of her thou
sands of warplanes she prevents
Great Britain from kicking too far
over the traces.
And Coolidge's emphasis on "capi-
tai" finance" and business" with
his significant silence on the all-press-
ing issue of labor, delights the heart
of the statesmen connected with the
most reactionary government in Eu
rope
