A new drive for soldiers' bonus legislation vras begun on congress by the American legion today. The telegrams from legion sources which began to hit Washington ignored, however, the is sue which so suddenly upset the plan r of the house to pass a liberal measure to reward former soldiers, sailors and marines. This Is the tax question ; over which the majority ide of the house split, thereby ending at least temporarily all consideration of such legislation? i; The legion findtf' itself somewhat l: embarrassed for the reason that the member of congress most responsible J"; for failure of the house to act favor ably on bonus legislation is Repre- ;. 6entative Royal C. Johnson of North - Dakota, a former service man. John son's scheme of substituting a retro- f- active tax on war profits for the sales tax plan worked out by the house ways and means committee is all that prevented action today. ' J- Johnson Plan Causes Trouble. f Several leading democrats have Joined with Representative Johnson J and a handful of republicans in sup p porting the war profits plan, which is , generally referred to as "wild," and are extracting some pleasure from , the perturbation which has resulted among republican chieftains in the . house. It was declared today by sev- eral members of the house favorable to the bonus but opposed to the John ;V son war profits tax proposal, that ' the American L.e?ion will never ac , romplish anything by bombarding . congress. To get acliony it wa3 said, the legion must force Representative Johnson to withdraw his proposal and join other republicans in something - regarded as more practical and less radical. The Johnson plan is de- ; nouneed in the strongest language. "-' ' It is Dolnted ouc that the aovern "; mcnt already is collecting several forms of revenue under the present f act which nets almost nothing to the r. treasury because of the heavy costs S for collection, and the retroactive war ;J tax, it is asserted, would be another v of the same kind, only more dis- appointing. .- t Difficult! rotated Out. I, First, there would be the question .i of what is a war profit, which the courts would be long in deciding; sec J ' ond, there would be difficulty of lo " eating the profits earned by war cor porationa dissolved since the armi stice; third, there would be the try - ing operation of collecting money from the man whose war profits are invested in property that cannot be turned into cash over night. , Republican leaders in the house feel that they have done their part. They take the position that the American Legion has the power to remove the chief obstacle. Representative John son, who is a very prominent legion naire. When he yields the bill will be passed, they say. go uninstructed to the national con vention and there vote as the best In terests of the party demand.

CHICAGO, May 3. More than 1000 vacant apartnfents were thrown on the market over the v cek end and real estate dealers are in a quan dary as a result. Hundreds of families whose rentals had been raised moved out May 1 without warning. Rents have ad vanced in many cases from 50 to 300 per cent, the agents pleading the law of supply and demand justified the Increases.

James S. Baldwin. Lowden's Indiana manager, charging an attempt on the part or otner candidates to attract votes from Governor Lowden unfair ly. made the following statement: "In the closing day of the campaign It is apparent to all that strenuous efforts are benif- made by the managers of one candidate to gather votes on the theory that' a certain other candidate :s a menace, etc., etc. This is a direct attempt to attract votes from Gover nor Lowden.
