Whshington, Nov. 2.—Deploring the effort to put a sales tax through the senate at this ime, Chairman Fordney of the house ways and means commits tee, disclosed today that it was his plan to bring in a sales tax in connection with the soldiers’ bonus bill which he said would be reported during the com- ing regu'ar session of congress. “We want to reserve the sales tax for the bomus bill” Mr. Fordney said, “and we will pass that measure soon after congress reconvenes.” Earlier in the day, Mr. Fordney, rep- resentative Green, of Iowa, and Repre- on the ways and means committee, had informed senats leaders that condition would the house sales tax at this time.
