3 NEW WAYS TO RAISE ‘BONUS’ AREPROPOSED Representative Fordney Has Agreed to Support Measure. Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—Men close to Representative Fordney of the House Ways and Means Committee have learned be has decided to give his support, as chairman of the ‘fcmlttee which will frame the soldier Inis" measure, to at least three methods *.* raising the money. They are: A tax of 1 per cent on stock and bond transactions on the exchange, a levy of one half of 1 per cent on real estate transfers, and a 3 cents first class postage rata It was said Chairman Fordney virtually had abandoned a number of other means of financing the •‘bonus," notably the sale In this country of foreign government bonds underwritten by the United States Government. SALES TAX IDEA INPOPCLAR. Republican leaders w-'e confident in their predictions the p for a sales tax would not be brought ,• by the committee, when it reports the measure in a week or so. They assert members of the committee believe the sales tax Is too unpopular to gain even the overwhelming support in the House that has been promised almost any sort of a “bonus” measure the committee decides to report. Friends of the sales tax are planning to bring it up on the floor, however, It was said. Within the past week leaders have been told of anew plan for alloting the “bonus,” framed under the guidance of Secretary Hooker, who believes it can be administered without the bad results on reviving business forecast if any of the present plans pass. The Hoover program cslls for an insurance bonus exclusively, a wide protection for the veteran against unemployment, accidents and illness, death Insurance, and covers as well almost every conceivable disaster that could befall the ex-soldler. The plan would eliminate the cash “bonus.”

SECRETARY HOOVER S PLAN TOO COMPLICATED. The Hoover plan was in the writing three months ago, Congressional leaders learned. At that time a number of prominent Republicans in the House were informed of the idea, and told it would be sent to the White House. It was said, however, that no attempt had beeu made by the members who consider supporting the plan to claim for it the President’s stamp of approval. Already it has met the argument of being too complicated, as well as the Insistence of a number of members oi the committee that the veterans should have a cash “bonus” if they want It. Private insurance experts who have been questioned on the Hoover plan have estimated its “capital’’ cost at $3,000,0000,0000. They believe the first year's appropriation would not have to be much more th-an $100,000,000 with the necessity for slightly increased appropriations each year as the ex-soldiers grow older. The committee, In executive session, was divided into two subcommittees, one to frame the administrative features of the “bonus” bill and the other to continue the body's search for methods of raising the money that will place as small a burden on the taxpayer as possible. Chairman Fordney estimates the 1 per cent tax on stock and bond transactions would produce $190,000,900; the one-half of 1 per eetn on real estate transfers, $50,000,000; and the 3-cent postage rate, $70,000,000, a total of $310,000,000. —Copyright, 1921!, by Public Ledger Company.

Can Vice President Be Rehearsing for Debut in Movies? WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—Vice President Coolidge has stubbed his toe. Not his political toe of course. One of his real physical yankee digits. It happened in the dark and that made it certain it will be not his political toe as he never gropes in the dark politically. Mr. Coolidge’s toe became caught In draperies in his apartments In the New Willard Hotel. He tried to wrench it loose. In so doing the toe came in contact with a wall. Although he limped into the Senate chamber to preside at the passage of the farmers' cooperative marketing bill, the Vice President has not permitted himself to be put on any causualty list. He has insisted on attending to his duties. —Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.
