EXPECT PRESIDENT TOAGT ON BONUS Some Concrete Proposal Be- | lieved Likely—Friends Urge Him to Lead. B8Y DAVID LAWRENCE. Prohibition and soldier bonus were of sufficient importance in the last| elections as to be considered today by political Washington as the lead- ing domestic issues before the couu- try. President Hardjng bas hinted that there is a shifting of views on prohibition, and there are rumors that he himself will ing on the bonus. Authorized spokesmen for tie President say he will veto any bill passed by Congress stmilar to the one put up to him earller this year. But before that time comes something eoncrete in the way of a bonus pro- posal may be expected from the ex- ceutive. Whether mention will be ade of the subject in the message to.be read to Congress, at the regu- lar session in December, determined, but there are many among the President’s friends who do some shift-, { | ! i | not yet | Batchelor, | dorstood, { White House today, and the State De- TAKEN IN llSBflN - OND. .

A Washington police officer will be sent to Lisbon, Portugal, to bring back John Harry Cody, charged with false preteni in obtaining money from the International Finance Cor- Dporation here, who is being held there awalting a presidential warrant for his return to this country, He was arrested there Thursday.

Officials of the Internationmal Fi- nance Corporation stated that the cage against Cody had been handled through the State Department after an indictment was obtained here. further comment wes forthcoming from the corporation.

The latest suggestion which has found support in administration quarters, though it cannot be said that Mr. Harding will be won over to it. is one that looks to the fed- eral government and the states to enter into a combination on a sort of fifty-fifty proposition just as has been the case with good roads. The federal government appropriates on condition that an equal sum is raised by & state, and the quotas are diveded according to the needs of the state. Twenty-seven out of the forty-eight states of the Union are willing to give bonuses. Last week, Illinois, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas, Montana and Cal- | ifornia voted soldier bonuses. Seven- teen states acted earlier, namely, Maine, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Da. kota, Vermont, Washington and Wis- consin. In addition Colorado voted $200 each to ex-service men for vocational training. New York state record in tavor ot l $45,000, 000 bon\ll. but it in constitutiopal difficult eu Pznn'yl\anua legislature, in 1921, authorized submission of a can- stitutional amendment involving $36, 000,000, but this is expected to be sul mitted azzin by the new le:ulnure Other States Wait. Twenty-seven out of forty-eight rep- resents a majority, but it doesn’t reflect the true extent of the bonus sentiment, for many states have been waiting on the federal government, and the bonus movement hasn't received the impetus it would otherwise receive J¢ the states re to know they were required to co- operate with the federal government. President Harding §s in_favor of the bonus in principle. His whole argument has been that the federal government couldn’t afford to add to its national debt. He hasn't con- tended that the United States wasn't wealthy enough to pay a bonus, but he has plainly feared the effects of piling the public debt higher. To im- pose the burden on the states, or to share the debt with the states, would not be the same as the original pro- posals. and there s a chance that some plan of this kind would win executive favor. Falls fa Six States. Six states—Delaware, Maryland. Indiana, Tennessee, Texas and Utsh —have considered the bonus without favorable action, but if the federal government submitted a proposition of co-operation there is reason to be- lieve the question would receive dif- ferent treatment. The srgument iu made by proponents of the plan that the states are better able to-finance the bonus than is the federal gov- ernment. Certainly some of the states have not vet been made to realize the ne. cessity for economy in the balancing of their budgets, and the grant of a bonus may have the effect of making mary states take better account of their fiscal conditions. Also, e in- come taxes of the etates are not efe ficiently gathered in all cases. The appropriation of a bonus would have a far-uuhin( effect on state taxa- “There will no doubt-be an attempt made to make the states shoulder the entire burden, but the American Le. zlon would fight that tooth and as it means a Jong-drawn-out proc without certainty of favorable action in the end. One cannot be sure how the legion would view evem a com- bined federal government and state proposal, but if President Harding ®ot back of the plan and the fede: overnment passed lemlnuon prom sing to do its part, the legion would robably feel that half & loaf was etter than none and would assist in the campaign in the states.

PLAN CONFERENCE ONREORGANIZATION President and Chairman Brown to Discuss Depart- ment Changes Tomorrow. President Harding and Walter F. Brown, chairman of the congres- sional committee on reorganization of the government departments, ex- pect to confer at the White House tomorrow on the plan which Mr. Brown said at the White House -to- day was, in his opinion, almost ready to be submitted by Presjdent Hard- ing to the congressional committee. Arrangements were made tenta- tively ‘by Mr. Brown and the Presi- dent for their special conference on Sunday at the White Hou in short visit today, in which the matter was sald to have been discussed in a preliminary manner. President Harding will be ready soon, according to Mr. Brown, to put his stamp of approval on a tentative plan of reorganization to be sent back to the congressional committee. The committee, with Mr. Brown, sometime ago laid the whole matter, as they had studied and reviewed the situation, before the President. The plan represented, Mr. Brown said, the best thought of not omly the com- mittee, but the co-ordinated opinion of all members of the President's cabinet.
