They explained that while the service men accepting this option could not borrow from the government on their insuranco with- in three years they probably could obtain the money from other sources before ths expiration of that period. Representative Longworth said the idea was to relieve the treasury of any heavy drafts on account of the bonus during the period of the re- funding of the $6,509,000,000 Victory notes and the short dated certificates. Some such plan as that on which the committee now is working has been suggested by a number of for- mer service men and by members of the house and has been I6oked upon with favor by some leaders of the agriculturaly bloc who have held out against President Harding’s sugges tion: of financing the cash bonus by means of a sales tax. after return to’ private ‘management. The 6 per cent clause, generally called the guarantee provision, is su- perseded today by the transportation act provisions which hereafter re- quire the interstate commerce com- mission to make rates that will give railroads “a reasonable return on the valae of property used in transpor tation.” The commission is expected therefore to define for itself what earnings constitute reasonable _re- turns. This has ulready been taken up formaily by the commission for the purpose of securing arguments from railroads and interested parties to proceedings before it in relation to rate regulation. Applications from railroads cestr- ing the government loans have been aoe oe in to the commission in con- siderable numbers during the last few days in the endeavor to get in before the Imitition began. a FOUR SENT TO DEATH TODAY NASHVILLE, “Tenn, March 1.— Charles H.
