Washington, Feb. lUAnj (fort to
pay th soldier bonus through sconomles
would to futlla. In tho opinion of Sen
ator Wsrrsn of Wyoming, chairman M
tho powerful Hntt appropriations com
mittee. - ;.,'-
Many mtmbcrs of the house hare
urged that this be attempted. They
would Ps tho' bonus bill without pro
visions (or raising revonuo. and depend
on reductions In the army, nary and
other appropriation bills to supply the
needed funds.
But Warren pointed out that huge
deficits already are In prospect for the
ensuing fiscal year. Me agreed, further,
with the statement of Secretary Of the
Treasury Mellon that sources ot taxa
tlon are drying- up and that presenta
tion of accurate taxation estimates at
present la next to Impossible.
"It Is ridiculous to assume that enough
money can be saved out" of the legiti
mate sources of Internal revenue and
customs to take care of the bonus," said
Warren.
The bonus problem In the house Is
back where It was. The taxation sub
committee of the ways and means com
mittee Is to meet Tuesday again to seek
an answer to the question of where
funds are to be obtained.
SALES TAX LOOMS VT
Best Information Indicates that a lim
ited manufacturers' sales tax will be
applied to raise the greater portion of
the $3,000,000,000 or 14.000.000,000 re
quired for the first year's bonus.
Economies would be counted on to
supply a portion ot the funds not raised,!
by taxtlon. There has been nothing
bear agreement on this point, however.
Leaders hope to report out a bill this
week. It would go before a Republican
conference which probably would .be
held next Monday or soon after. It
was thought that a conference might In
dorse the sales tax. But this would
not mean that - the tax would be ac
repted on the floor of the house. Many
Republicans would refuse to be bound
by the conference and they would have
the support of the Democrats.
. Representatives from farming states
are especially hostile to the sales tax
idea. One of the Republican leaders
told the writer not more than 100 Re'
, publican votes, could be counted on in
favor of the lax. This, he said, was an
Increase of 2S per cent since the re
ceipt of the letter of. President Harding,
CIRCTLATE PETITIO.1
Middle Western representatives, who
ar hostile to a sales tax, after a secret
meeting Monday put In circulation petU
tlons directed against the . tax. They
were led by Representatives Frear of
Wisconsin and Dickinson of Iowa. A
score of signatures were obtained during
the afternoon, - ,
Senator Caraway. Democrat of Ar
kansas, attacked the majority for fall-
arc to enact the bonus bill, in speech
from the floor Monday. Hej read' a let
ter, which he said was beinx sent out
from the offloe of Representative Ham-
ilton Fish Jr. of New York.
The letter, according to the senator.
said: '
"Have you any old clothes, stilts.
overcoats, shirts, underwear, shoes' and
so forth? The 'Lest We Torget com
mlttee has requested me to ask you to
leave, or send, your old clothes to SIS
O street any time of the day for the
next two months. The committee will
undertake to clean and repair your old
clothes and place them In the hands of
ex-service men who are In need."
PITIABLE SPECTACLE
Caraway said: "In other. words, this
great -party that was going to Oo jus
tice to the soldier has finally come down
to the pitiable spectacle of sending out
letters and begging people to give dis
carded .clothing for our ex-service men
who are walking the streets and beg
ging for places to work and something
to eat"
Senator Shields. Democrat of Ten
nessee, made public a .letter he bad
written to a constituent, telling why he
was opposed to a bonus. .More taxes or
Issuance ' ot bonds are impossible,
Shields declared.
"The sales tax," said Shields, "is the
most unjust of all those proposed.
Tt would operate to exempt wealth
and fall heaviest upon the people of
moderate means. Jt is easy to under
stand the interest that is seeking the
opportunity to have it Imposed with the
hope of making it permanent in our
taxing system."

to take charge of the Investigations of

quests for the aid of a state officer

before the grand jury which later in
dicted the official.
Charges against- Sheriff Nelson grew
out of an incident last November when
he is alleged to have broken into a pri
vate dwelling and maltreated the family
of Hilma Mikkalo, on whose, person it
is charged the assault and battery was
committed. Two suits for damages, ag
gregating $35,000, are already pending
