By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 24.—Alleged to have defrauded fourtecn or fifteen soclety women of at least $560,000, Alfred L.

To the jobless ex-fighter who needs the cash, to the Cungresxnmn who needs votes in November, to the taxpayer who must eventually foot the bill, the question whether a bonus shall be paid to our soldiers of the great war and how the money is to be raised to pay it, is of increasing interest. To raise the money to pay the bonus various new taxes are suggested. The idea of legalizing and taxing the sale of light wines and beers won the enthusiastic advocacy of the New York IWorld. The National Grange comes out for an excess profits tax. me C ongressmen suggest that taxation may be avoided by paying a tax out of the savings realized b\' reductions in the Navy and in Army and Navy personnel. Why tax anybody, asks Arthir Brisbane in the New York Ainerican, “why not simply print the currency and pay the soldiers with perfectly good money manufactured by ‘the Government at the cost of paper and printing, without taxing anyone or disturbing any business?” The Daily News, New York, defends the bonus as “simple JLI';tICC to the nation’s defenders” and The financial objections do not greatly impress the Seattle Times, which “an investment-in good-will.” the modest prediction th-t bonus legislation will be enacted at this session and that money “ventur will be found with which to finance the payment to former service men.” e . . .y But the opposition to the bonus is being vigorously voiced by such widely scattered dailies as the New Haven Journal Courier, Newark News, S quirer, Dallas Ne grams being sent to the Capitol and the White House. The leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST this weck presents all the arguments current for and against the bonus, and the various methods that have been suggested to finance it.
