BONUS QUESTION DISCUSSED
In his discussion of the tax ques
tion the treasury department has clari
fied the issue which congress mustj
face this year in reaching a decision
whether taxes shall be lowered. As
Mr. Mellon presents the issue it is a
soldier bonus without lower taxes;
no bonus, lower taxes. As Commau.
der Quinn of the American Legion
presents it, there can be a bonus and
lower taxes also. Mellon says the in
come tax revenue for next year can
be reduced by $323 000,000 if the bo
nus is not granted. But he holds out
no hope of reduction if congress en
acts a bonus bill, as many congress
men predict will be done.
There are about 6,600,000 income
tax payers and about 4,000,000 ex
soldiers who wound receive approxi
mately $500 each if the bonus is
granted. Secretary Mellon, like the
late President Harding, opposed the
bonus not in principle, but on econom
ic grounds, and President Cooliuge is
expected to veto any measure passed
by congress.
However, a strong sentiment exists
in congress in favor of the bonus,
from the viewpoint of justice to the
veterans and for fear of the soldier
vote going against its opponents. It
is almost certain to be a vital issue in
the coming election.
Commander Quinn states that the
bonus is not desired in a lump sum,
but in monthly payments. That this
would cost the government about 80
millions a year, and about 4,000,000,000
in twenty years. That this bonus can
be paid and taxes reduced some 300
millions just the same.
The “Shop early" campaign has;
been tinder way for some days. It isj
an annual campaign and has the force |
of right thinking behind it. Christ-!
mas is less than a week away. It
will be upon us before most of the
dilatory shoppers realize the fact. By
distributing their Christmas shopping!
over a period of four or five days the |
shoppers can relieve themselves and
the sales people of the city much wor-;
ry and trouble. Why not make out
part of your Christmas list tonight—
and stock up tomorrow?
So amazing are the revelations of
graft and blackmail that it is hard to
make the stay_at-home citizen believe
it possible.
It is expected that hundreds of in-j
dictments will be returned against j
members of the police force and ad~
ministration heads. -*

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—Use oft
papaya leaves or a powder from the
dried fruit of the papaya to make the
toughest meat tender as is done in
tropical climates, is not considered
desirable b\ the Department of Agri
culture. Leaves crushed and wrapped
about meat made it more tender but
gave ii a decided bitter juice of the
leaves.
A solution r-l the powder applied to
meat cuts gave it a bitter i.avor.

EAST ST. LOUIS, 111., Dec. 19.—
What happens when two pieachers

Alfonso-Gaston act of course.
Ri v. J. C. Burns of Shipman, and)
Rev. J. H. Lell of East 3t. Louis now;
conducting a revival meeting at Dupo,
111., crashed head on in their cars|
here. .
“It was all my fault," said Rev.j
Burns.
“On the contrary it was my fault,”'
said Rev. Bell.
Then both gospel messengers pitch-'
ed in and repaired the damages to the
machines.

LONDON, Dec. 19.—The latest way)
of determining the condition of a pa
tient’s health is through a close exam
ination of the eye. A physician toldj
his class that he could tell the condi-;
tion of a patient’s blood by the color:
of the irisfi the lighter the color the
clearer the blood, and vice versa.
