BONUS BATTLE
EXTENDED TO
AIR AND SEA
Farmers, Ocean Lines and
Plane Companies Claims
Are Attacked.
HUGE SUMS INVOLVED
Subsidies Are ASSaiIed by
Democratic Leaders
in Congress.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Another
bonus battle is being fought in
Washington. It is a running en-
gagement, consisting of skirmishes
over the proposed farmers bounty
the nonserVice veteran disability al
lowances, ocean mail subsidies and
air mail contracts. The figures run
into millions.
Involved is the entire question Of
how far the government should
grant special favors to special
groups. Extra cost to taxpayers is
balanced against general economic
benefits sought out of prosperous
agriculture or an adequate merchant
marine.
Opponents of the voluntary allot-
ment plan for agriculture say it is
subsidy which will be passed back
to the consumers; Senator Norbeck
rep. S. d., a sponsor of the plan
estimates that wheat farmers would
receive 5000 100000 a year in allot-
ment benefits raised through specia
taxes.
Others Would Benefit
Hog raisers, cotton producers anc
tobacco growers would be in for sim
liar benefits. The proposals are de-
tended on the ground that the
country can not recover when farm
income annually is just about hall
OF the amount Of farm mortgages.
In some places, crops at present
prices would not pay taxes on the
land that produced them. Farmers
argue that other groups have spe-
cial privileges and that it is time
they received theirs.
AS to veteran allowances, the
United Chamber of Commerce JUS
has declared, in a special report
that $400,000,000 a year could be cut
from veteran payments without re.
ducing payment to those who in.
Cured war disabilities, or to de.
pendents of deceased veterans.
In the senate finance committee
Senator Mcclellan (Dem,, Tenn
has renewed his fight against ali
mail and ocean mail subsidies Post
master General Browns annual re-
port indicates these subsidies total
about $43,o0O,o00 a year.
Would Slash Subsidies
Mcclellan has proposed that the
air mail appropriation be cut from
$19,000,000 to 100000 to squeeze
out subsidies. He said he intended
to make a similar proposal for ocear
mail.
Ocean mail subsidies we're de.

cultivate the friendship of a filling

Either might be able to arrange a

C2) Keep your clothing in the

CHAMBER URGES
CITY TAX UPON
OLEOMARCARINE'

That the El Centre city council
adopt an ordinance fixing a taN
/ on merchants distributing oleo-
margarine was requested last night
in a letter from Robert Hays, sec
retary of the El Centre Chamber
/ Of Commerce.
After considerable discussion
members Of the council continued
the matter for possible action at
some future time. Such an ordi-
nance is being prepared by the
district attorney for the county
board Of supervisors.
A county ordinance, however, has
no effect within the incorporated
areas of various towns in Imperial
Valley. Therefore, sponsors of the
proposed ordinance plan to request
that each incorporated town in the
valley adopt an ordinance taxing
the sale of oleomargarine.
Dairymen and creamery opera
tors are behind the movement for
such a tax. declaring that some
such protection is necessary if pro-
ducers Of butterfat are to continue
in operation.
Another action BY the council
last night was to employ Hutchin-
son & Co. auditors. to install a
new and more modern system of
accounting at the city clerks office.
Supplies will cost S150 and labor
is not to exceed $500.
The city attorney and city engi-
neer were directed to prepare an
ordinance governing the burning
of trash in FL Centre. The ordi-
nance probably will provide that
trash must be burned in closed
containers, to prevent sparks and
must be burned before noon. Trash
burning probably will be pro-
hibited in downtown fire zones.
During discussion of the pro-
posed trash burning ordinance 1t
was mentioned that a recent fire
which consumed a house belonging
TO Mrs. Wooda Blessy was started
by trash fire.
An ordinance providing that
merchant patrolmen and private
watchmen post a $1,000 bond with
