Senator Thomas, Colorado, Dem
ocrat, Attacks Legislation
as "Imposition."
WASHINGTON, April 29. Opposi
tion among house republicans to a
sales tax for raising part of the
1. 800,000 needed for soldier relief leg
islation led today to an open break
at the final meeting of the republican
members of the ways and means com
mittee, called to complete the draft
of the measure.
Representatives Young, North Da
kota, and Frcar, Wisconsin, bolted
and joined in conference with repub
lican insurgents to lay plans for the
opposition fight at their party caucus
tomorrow night. Their withdrawal
from the ways and means committee
conference left the republicans with
a majority of but one in the full com
mittee, if the bolting members vote
with the democrats.
Republican committeemen finally
completed the committee draft of the
relief bill today, making few changes
in the general scheme. In adopting
the sales tax of I per cent on gross
monthly business the republicans de
cided this levy would not apply un
less the aggregate sum exceeded
$1000, instead of the previously adopt
ed limit of $500.
Levy on Incomes Included.
Other forms of taxation approved
ty the republicans include a tax on
all stock exchange transactions and
increased taxes on incomes, tobacco
and real estate sales.
Taxes, it was decided todaj-, would
bs effective next January with the
cash bonus payments to be made in
installments beginning April 1, 1921.
For the other forms of relief, includ
ing land settlement, home purchases,
vocational training and paid-up in
surance, the republican committee
men decided to appropriate $25,000,000
to be available for carrying out these
plans when the bill is approved by the
president.
The sales tax, the republican com
mitteemen also decided, should apply
to hotels and restaurants, but by de
creasing the exemption limit to $1000
a month, they pointed out thatonly
the b'ig caterers would be subject to
this levy.
"It is another demonstration of the
ability of an organized group to get
its will politically," said Senator
Thomas. "They are all down here
the Coreans, the Chinese, the Irish, the
Plumb-planners, the legislative com
mittees of a myriad other things
and in the last analysis the one thing
they want is public money. You. the
American public, they recognize only
as a source of supply, over whose
spoils they busily ravage.
"But now the imposition threatened
has grown so great that you must
unite or perish. The representatives
fighting your battles you. leave with
out support, for an individual word or
an individual letter can do little. Even
yet, with a little assistance, they
might hold the outposts that would
save your cause in the present emer
gency if you will unite and fight."
'Doesn't the senator know there
Isn't a chance for that?" asked Sena
tor Myers, democrat, Montana.
Thomas' Hope at Zero.'
"Americans In general will go right
ahead, one block voting democratic
and another voting republican, while
the group which knows what it wants
throwB the balance."
"Vou can't be more pessimistic than
I. Senator Thomas replied. "My hopes
are down to zero. It does give me
pleasure, however, to be in receipt of
numerous letters from ex-service men
and even from several organizations
of ex-service men declaring their de
sire to save the American people from
this Imposition, in spite of the posi
tion of the American Legion as a
whole."
Completing the draft of their bill
the republicans decided to call a
meeting of the full committee tomor
row to discuss the provisions. A final
favorable report on the measure will
not be sought formally until Satur
day, but the democrats and bolting
republicans declare they will oppose
the sales tax provision.
The conference of in Slirp-on van nVi
llcans late today attended by a score
of members from half as many states,
voted to place on record all republi
cans who object to the sales tax but
favor the relief bill.
The insurgents also voted to oppose
separation of the relief and revenue
raising plans into two bills, declaring
that such actjon would kill all relief
measures.
THOMAS SCORES SENATORS
Indifference to Growing Deficit
Cause or Attack.
WASHINGTON. April 29. Attack
on soldier bonus proposals was re
newed in the senate today by Sen
ator Thomas (democrat. Colorado),
-who arraigned congress and the
American people alike for what he
termed their indifference to the con
dition of government finances.
"A deficit of growing size faces the
sovernmcnt at the end of this fiscal
year," he said, "but the spirit of in
difference to federal finances contin
uses to control the senate. Absentee
ism synchronizes with the appearance
of appropriation bills. A quorum of
senators can bo kept here only by
constant quorum calls.
"Last week the Fuller pension bill
increasing the payments to civil war
veterans and their dependents by $65,
000,000 a measure many of us think
unjustifiable went through with 12
senator voting upon it Deficiency
appropriation bills have been passed;
two more arc preparing, and when
the polls cIohq next November, the
signal will be given for another se
ries of them to emerge.
"But these dwindle into insignifi
cance compared with the bonus pro
posals. The last scheme now re
solved upon will cost the American
people $6,000,000,000. An organized
ana Clamorous demand dooms to dis
aster those who challenge its justice.
Jt sets a new precedent for the trans
fer of money from the pockets of one
set or people to the pockets of an
other. The crushing burden
will go only one place on the already
UC"L nou pi me American consumer.

STUDENT OUNCES .ISSUE
LIFTING OF BAX AT WILLAM
ETTE DEBATED.
Student Sentiment Interpreted as
Against Modern Steps, Though
Opinion Is Divided.
SALEM. Or., April 29. (Special.)
Whether to dance or not to dance is
the question that is being debated
freely among members of the Y. W.
C. A. of Willamette university at the
present time, and opinion regarding
the discreetness of the light fantastic
in college circles appears to be about
evenly divided.
Miss Sibyl Smith, president of the
student Y. W. C. A., is of the opinion
that many of the girls have no per
sonal objections to dancing, but do
not believe it should be countenanced
by the university. Miss Smith is, her
self, opposed to dancing. Miss Mil
dred Garrett, who is also opposed to
dancing as most of the dances are
conducted, believes the student senti
ment will not favor dances in the uni
versity. Verne Dain declared that while
many of the men are not opposed to
dancing, they are opposed to the
dance as it is carried on. Augustus
Anderson and J. Fred McGrew concur
in the opinion of Mr. Dain and are op
posed to introducing dancing Into
Willamette. A few of the students be
lieve the solution lies in the ability
of the church to select a few hand
picked steps under the regulation of
the church.
Students who say they are in close
touch with the university directors
assert openly that the dance will
never become a part of life at Will
amette, due to the increasing oppo
sition of those in charge of the insti
tution. President Doney Is said to
be opposed to dancing because of the
opposition of the Methodist church.
though dancing has been countenanced
and supervised by such well known
institutes of the church as North
western and Boston universities.
No intimation has been given as to
what action will be taken by the stu
dent body should the general confer
ence of the church remove the ban on
dancing.

dividuals.
Jail Sentence)) Possible.
With contempt proceedings now
facing the two corporation executives,
it is within the power and discretion
of Judge Bean to administer jail sen
tences as well as fines if he finds that
they, as well as the corporations, are
guilty of contempt. In cases of con
tempt of court by corporations noth
ing but fines can be assessed.
A resume of the'ease discloses that
the investigation into the activities of
local shipbuilding plants started more
than a month ago when department
of justice agents, under George G.
Wheeler of Baltimore, arrived in Port
land to conduct an inquiry. Demand
was made on these two shipbuilding
plants for the production of books
and records for use during the inves
tigation. The corporation executives refused
to let the records be taken from the
plants, but offered to permit an audit
and examination by the department
of justice if the corporations were
permitted to have accountants present
during the probe. This offer was re
fused by the department of justice
agents.
Last week Ben L. Moore, special as
sistant to Attorney-General Palmer,
arrived and laid the investigation be
fore the federal grand jury and on
his advice the grand jury asked Judge
Bean to issue a subpena duces tecum
requiring the shipbuilding corpora
tions to produce all their records be
fore the grand jury. It was refusal
to obey this order which led to the
contempt of court proceedings filed
yesterday. Attorneys for the ship
building firms . contend that Judge
Bean was without authority to issue
subpenas duces tecum as requested
by the grand jury.
