MONDAY, APRIL 24, 1922 NO NEW TAX IN SOLDIER BONUS M'CUMBER SAYS Chairman of Finance Committee Indicates Changes To Be Made in Measure Washington, April 24.-—The ,soldier bonus ‘bill will impose no naw taxa- tion, Senator P. J.. McCumber. an- nounced, following a meeting of. finance committee Republicans to begin work on the measure, McCumber indicated that the pres- ent intention of the Republicans is to frame a bill along these lines: ‘Increase the cash bonus limit from $50 as it passed the house to $100. ‘Leave it up to the treasury to issue ‘certificates of indebtedness to meet the bulk of the filst year's payment, ¥ . Pay the rest of the bonus out of the proceeds of the foreign war * debt. The Republicans have been fully aroused to the threat of Democratic leaders to take over the bonus legisla- tion as a Democratic campaign asset Accordingly, Republicans are now de- termined that they will meet the bonus squarely, act on it without delay and take the conséquences, whatever they may be. They are also determined the bonus bill must not impose new. taxes on the people at this time, It must however, carry the means for paying the former service ‘mien entitled to its benefits. Therefore; the plan of issuing treasury certificates. of indebtedness is daily gaining more support. In the end, money- must ‘be raised somewhere to retire the certificates if they are is- sued, i ‘Economies to Aid, . McCumber indicated the belief that economies in. appropriations ‘will go a long way towards providing forthe bonus, The shin subsidy, the good roads appropriation and otier similar Tunds may therefore ibe refused by congre. for the present to make possible tie payment of the bonus in cash, This, of course, will cause strenuous opposi- tion from subsidy advocates and those interested in the good roads move ment. ed to insist on the subsidy bill being passed this season. But in the view of those who attended the recent Re- publican caucus, the bonus pledge must ‘be redeemed by the party, while other things must wait. The idea of the Republican leader: is to tide themselves over next year. ‘By that time they expect the funding of the foreign war debt and increased tax revenues dugto a growing volume of business to make their financial! problem much simple; SUGGESTS FORT - President Harding will be urg-; ANALZING ‘WILSON’S + WRITING | | AND | WOODROW WILSON HIS SIGNATURE | BY ALBERT J.

Greek “D" That Wilson is trained in literary matters is attested to by his frequent use of the Greek form of the letter “a.” It is the confirmative sign of literary ability. The high cast of the “ad” stem in | Woodrow, which is a variation, of his 'Greek form, signifies dignity, self- respect and 2 high sense of honor. Wilson’s script is simple and plain. Persons who write in this manner are unaffected, unassuming, honest, dutiful, modest and of good charac- ter. ‘His writing is uniform and well spaced; this implies,a well-balancea mind. The small writing confirms this. | ‘There is a slight tendency to hasti- \Iness..

The complaint of ithe city stated that on August 26, 1920, the county filed a bill $1,348.80 with the city, being’25 percent of the Mothers’ Pen-! sion paid out. Under the poor law the it ys 25 percent’ of ithe money ad- vanced to the poor residents of ithe} city and the county 75 percent. The city had ‘been charged for Mothers’!

Adapted from the old song near and dear to millions of people, “The Old | Oaken~ Bucket” is a heart-throbbing story of childhood days as every man and ‘woman has lived them. ‘The or- chard, the meadow, the deep-tangled wildwood, and every loved spot which your Ps fancy knew” are pictured ‘in this drama of the heart wih a realism that ig surprising as it is entertain- ing... “The Old Oaken Bucket” is a sin- cere and earnest attempt to catch the theme that inspired the iwriting of the best loved song in America, and repro- ‘duce it in nature’s own setting.
