SOLDIERS' BONUS
IS
Harding Likely to Veto Any
Reckless Bill.
PROBLEM IS A BIG ONE
Politicians Believe ' "Resentment
Vote" Might Be Larger Than
Veterans' at the Polls. ...
BT MARK SULLIVAN.
(Copyright by the New York Evening Post,
Inc. Published by Arrangement.)
WASHINGTON. D. C., Feb. 20. (Spe
cial.) The outcome of the present
bonus situation might be anything:,
t might be no bonus legislation at
ill or it might be some measure so
recklessly unqualified that, presum
ably Harding would veto it. Offi
cially, for the moment, the matter is
within the disposition of the IS re
publican members of the ways and
means committee, and hardly any two
of them are of the same mind about
the form of bill and the best means
to raise the money. They have long
been divided into factions on some
aspects of the tariff, and on the pres
ent subject they -are worse divided
yet.
Under the circumstances, unless
'they can come to an agreement, the
only way for any bonus bill to get
headway wouldseem for some one to
"start something" on the floor of the
house. Someone might move to dis
charge the committee, or otherwise
pet the subject out of the committee
room and into the open house.
Veto Also Is 'Possible
Of course, If the republicans should
show any skill In party management
and .ny party discipline- they will
try to prevent this. If the thing
Fhould get out Into the open house,
the outcome might be almost any
sort of bill.
Presumably, If the bill were reck
less and ill-advised Harding would
veto it The commonly held theory Is
that Harding will not give his ap
proval to any bonus "bill that doesn't
carry a sales tax to provide the money
for it. That is the general under
standing of Harding's position in ad
vance of the event.
If Harding is willing to stand In
that position straight through -to the
point of willingness to veto any other
kind of bill, then the probable out
come would seem to be no bonus bill.
Whether Harding would veto any bill
passed by1 a republican house and
senate is the subject of a good deal
of speculation here.
Sales Tax Still Unpopular.
The sales tax, which Harding
seems to indicate as the only method
acceptable to him for raising the
' bonus money, continues to be very
unpopular in the house. If Harding
should stand firmly on the position,
"bonus bill plus sales tax, or no bonus
bill at all," then the latter would
jSeem to be the more likely outcome.
The whole thing is about as un
fortunate from the republican point
of view as anything possibly could
he. There is no political advantage
left now in passing the soldiers'
honus legislation. The opposition
that has been stirred up Is a greater
political liability than the bonus bill
would be as an asset. Anyhow, every
politician knows that the gratitude
vote is less to be counted on than
the resentment vote. If the soldiers
iret the bonus now, they will take
the money and then vote the way
Ihey feel like voting on other issues,
whereas the opposition to the bonus
will keep their animus alive and vote
against those representatives and
senators who favor the bonus
measure. j
Bonus Of position Grows.
The sentiment against the bonus is
rrowing undeniably. The recent and
interesting manifestation of it was a
movement within the American Le
;.ion itself In opposition to the bonus.
Kepresentatives and senators feel
there has been a change In public
sentiment since the vote in Ohio last
fall which was the event that had
most to do with Harding's change of
1 osition on the bonus. That was a
s tate-wide popular vote on a local
i tate bonus.
The bonus was carried by a vote of
nore than three to one. That ma-.y-rity
seemed pretty convincing as a
lest vote to the national leaders of a
arty eager to keep itself in power.
j:ut it is quite conceivable that if the
oters of Ohio were asked today to
i ay whether, having already given
the soldiers $100 each of state money
they would now favor giving .them an
additional $200 to $500 of federal
Money, Ohio might answer in the neg

not satisfy the commission.

A survey of state taxes' from 1310
to 1921, conducted by the commission,
discloses that state taxes in that
period have "increased 521.1 per cent.
The percentage varies with different
counties, the high-water mark being
reached in Malheur, where, in the
period specified, the state taxes have
increased 1018.9 per cent, while in the
same time the population of that
county has increased 20.4 per cent. '
Tax Delinquency Record. .'
The delinquent tax problem has
been the subject of repeated discus
sion among the commissioners. Rec
ords of the commission show that the
delinquency is the greatest in the
history of the state. This delinquency
Is one of the factors which is causing
the . Increasing protest against high
taxes and which is spurring the com
mission on to find some relief for real
property by a state income tax. 'Fig
ures submitted yesterday were to the
effect that federal information dis
clrsed that under a. property tax only
one-third of those able to pay are
reached. The government statistics
said that 37 per cent of the taxes
came from property of all sorts, while
63 per cent came from professional
people, salaries and the like, reached
under the income tax. ,

WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb'. 20. The
long-delayed senate inquiry to deter

among the dye and chemical makers
of this country, and to investigate
the activities of their alleged lobby
ists got under way today.
Indications of the sweeping nature
of the investigation were given im

The day was devoted largely to
statements by Mr. King and Senator

sey, whose amendment to the reso
lution has broadened it to include
importers as well as American
manufacturers.
Mr. King laid before the committee
the names . of those who, he said,
should, be called and who could give
testimony "evidenciary in character.
Mr. rellnghuysen, on .the other

Democrats in Committee Are
Solid Against Sales TaxJ
MacNIDER URGES ACTION
Report Current That Four Repub
licans of Ways and Means
Committee Are, Opposed. '
WASHINGTON. D. C. Feb. 20. The
question - of financing the soldiers'
bonus was referred back, today to the
special tax sub-committee by the ma
jority members of the house ways and
means committee anj it was an-
ounced that the sub-committee would
attack the problem again late to
morrow.
The trend of thought in cloak
rooms and corridors was that some
sort of manufacturers or wholesalers'
plan would be drafted in accordance
with President Harding's suggestion
that financing be done by a sales tax.
Whether, approval of such a tax by
the entire committee, republicans ana
democrats, could be obtained, ap
peared to. be. a moot question.
Separate V.te oi Tax Wanted. "
In an effort to block the sales tax
within tha committee, 22 republican
opponents met and framed petitions
which were freely circulated ana
Bigned before the house adjourned.
Representative Dickinson of Iowa,
who called the meeting, said it was
the hope to obtain sufficient signa
tures to convince the majority com
mittee members that it would be im
possible to put a sales tax provision
through the house.
The petition declared in favor of
adjusted compensation but in opposi
tion to financing It by sales or manu
facturers' tax and sets forth that its
signers "will oppose any rule for the
adjusted compensation that does not
permit a separate' vote on, any sales
or manufacturers' tax provision
therein." . .,..--.
. Protests Sent President.
While the ways and means com
mittee was discussing the bonus
question, it was made known at the
White House that President Harding
had received many communications
opposing .enactment of the bonus
legislation for the present. At the
same time the American Legion's
legislative committee made public a
telegram from Hanford MacNider, the
legion's national commander, oppos
ing any further delay in the bonus
legislation.
It was said that- the communica
tions reaching Mr. Harding in opposi
tion to immediate enactment of the
bonus outnumbered those favoring
action at this .time, but it was added
that many of those opposing the bill
showed a similarity.
Democrats Solidly Opposed.
Much of the informal bonus discus
sion at the capital today centered
around the question of whether a
sales tax provision could be voted out
of the ways and means committee.
Representative Gardner cf Texas.
the ranking democrat on the committee,-
said the democratic minority
members would vote solidly against
such a tax. On this basis five repub
lican votes would defeat the proposal
and it was understood that present
estimates were that four of the 17
republicans would be against it, with
two others probably doubtful.
Harding Influence Counted On.
Representative Dickinson reiterated
that- if the agricultural broc was un
successful In its efforts to block the
sales tax in committee it would make
a determined stand in the republican
conference which is to be called to
consider the bill. He seemed confi
dent of a victory there, but proponents
of the sales tax believed that they
could win the conference and were
understood to be counting on admin
istration influence, as embodied in
President Harding's letter, to swing
votes to their side.
Should the committee fail to report
out a sales tax, it seemed to be a
somewhat general opinion that the
house would get a bill without any
specific provision for financing the
adjusted compensation. A bill in this
form is favored by some leaders of
the agricultural bloc and also by some
of the leaders of the minority party.

"That point has not been decided.
Of course she can marry whenever
she wants to.
The romance of the young grand
daughter of John D. Rockefeller was
pictured by Emil L. Burgy, Chicago
Interior decorator, who says he is a
first cousin of the Swiss equestrian,
as a love ot spring and winter.
Friends of the McCormicks said
last night Mr. McCormick's announce
ment must have followed consent of
Mr. Rockefeller. None had definite
information, but all stated that even
so determined a girl as Misa Mathilde
has been said to be would not dare
go through with such an engagement
unless Mrc Rockefeller sanctioned it.
That Oser is possessed of noble
blood and also has a reasonably large
Independent income also was stated
by Mr. Burgy. Mr. Burgy believed
that the estimate of the riding mas
ter's income at J10.00Q a year is erro
neous. "Max Oser's right name is Max von
der Muehl," Burgy said. "His father

was a German nobleman. Count von
der Muehl. His widowed mother mar
ried Sebastian Oser after Sebastian
returned to Switzerland from Amer
ica in 1865. Sebastian Oser has spent
many years in America."
Mr. Burgy then recounted Sebas
tian Oser"s wanderings in America
and said that he had amassed a
sizable fortune which he took back
to Switzerland, and Burgy hazarded
the belief that Max Oser had inherited
a considerable portion of it.
"I haven't seen Mr. McCormick
yet," Burgy said, "but if he is inter
ested, I'll give him the facts any
time. I'll go to the wed-ding, if I am
invited. 1 haven't any of those
dressy duds, but I can "rent some and
though I haven't much to offer in the
way of a wedding present for cousin
Max and his girl. I can redecorate
that; McCormick house on Rush
street for them to live in and that's
something.'ain't it?"
Sebastian Oser came to this coun
try about -the time of the Civil war,
virtually broke, according to Burgy.
He worked as a lumberjack and deck
hand and finally in New Orleans ac
quired a small interest in a cotton
concern. After a few years with a
fortune estimated at J 2,000,000, he re
turned to Switzerland. '
Friend of the McCormicks today
said that ine -concent given to the
engagement by the family was" In line
with the training of the children.
They always were given free rein In
self-expresssion, so long as their own
whims' and desires did not seriously
interfere with their welfare. Muriel
at one time demanded a separate
apartment in New York and the wish
was granted, later she decided to
line in a hotel and there was no ob
jection. Mathilde's desire to live
abroad, even , after there was no
longer need for it so far as her health
was concerned, met with no opposi
tion from the family, it was said.

Douglas Fairbanks was locked in a

FRENCH DELEGATES
ARE NOT SATISFIED
Mission to Arms Parley Held;
Disappointment.
RESULTS ARE REGRETTED
Misunderstandings of France Are
Believed to Have Been Cre
ated in America.
PARIS, Feb. 20. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The French delega
tion to the Washington armaments
conference reached Paris today on its
return from the United States, its
members giving the impression that
they were dissatisfied with the re
sults of their mission', apparently
feeling that their visit to Washing
ton had caused regrettable misunder
standings concerning France . in
some circles in America. ,
The delegation, headed by Albert
Sarraut, minister of the colonies, had
planned to return on board the liner
Paris, sailing from New York this
week, but being under orders from
their government to hasten their de
parture so as to make their report as
soon as possible, made the passage
on La Savoie, reaching Havre this
morning.
Members Are Disappointed.
While the members of the mission
declined to be quoted regarding-the
conference, it was learned that they
fiel disappointed because of the al
legation in some American circles
that France tailed to enter the con
ference in the true spirit of modern
diplomacy, that she was not ready to
make sacrifices for the common good
in lessening the burdens of world
armament and that she is adheoing
to militarism.
The contention of the French is
that nothing could be farther from
the truth than these assertions. Their
belief, it is indicated, is that France
made her great error In not insisting
as a great power in joining' at the
outset in the deliberations at Wash
ington over capital ships, from which
she was excluded until the ratio had
been arranged , by Great Brita'n,
Japan and the United States.
Diver Attitude. DiHcussed.
The ' anti-French opinion concern
ing France's stand on the question of
sumbarines was attributed by mem
bers of the delegation to the psycho
logical fact that France failed to pre
pare public opinion for her subma
rine desires, as they claimed the
Japanese did on the question of tire
"status quo n Pacific fortifications.
One Frenchman on the way home
said: '
aomenow or other we were
jockeyed into the position which
many feared they would , occupy,
namely, the position of defendant.
This was treating us rather badly
and was distinctly unjust," continued
this spokesman. "Perhaps it was the
result of our not paying sufficient
attention to public opinion abrrad, in
the belief that the world, without ex
planation, will understand everything
France does. Great Britain and Japan
know differently and act accord
ingly."
Other spokesmen deprecated the
anti-French views prevailing in
some "American quarters, but ex
pressed the belief that this was
transitory stage.
