WASHINGTON, Mar. 5.— Senator
Heflin, on the floor of the senate here
this afternoon charged that Harry
Sinclair had handled many race track
bets for cabinet members; that Attor
ney General Daugherty himself had
gone to the tracks with Sinclair.
Doheny, Senator Heflin said, got
the $40,000 refund in taxes from the
Treasury in 1920, and the clerk in the
Treasury department responsible for
the favor was now in the employ of
Doheny, Senator Heflin shouted.
Son of McAdoo Explains

H., a son of W. G. McAdoo, told the
Senate Committee his father had be- ;
came counsel for McLean shortly after |
leaving the Wilson cabinet. He said
that A. Mitchell Palmer represented
Doheny and Sinclair.
‘'Fall is the man who put the dough
in Doheny, the Sin in Sinclair and the
Dent in Denbv” Senator Heflin de
clared, while Lodge replied with a
parody on one of Longfellow’s poems
while the senate rocked with mirth.

Obligation to Bear Arms Rests On
Every Citizen
#
i
WASHINGTON, Mar. 5.—Describ
ing the proposed soldier bonus as a
“squalid and odious gratuity,” Sena
tor Bruce, democrat, of Maryland,
gave notice of his unalterable opposi
tion to its enactment in any of the
forms so far proposed.
“If I really thought all or nearly
all of our world war veterans were
soliciting the bonus,” he said, my faith
in popular rule and its ability to resist
class pressure would be destroyed. It
would be driven to the conclusion
that the tendency of our great body
of voters to break up into special
groups or blocs, which is the most
alarming feature of our political life
at present had reached its culmination
and that henceforth government in
the United States would be given over
to the wretched business of setting oft
one class against another.
“The obligation to bear arms, rests
upon every citizen. Throughout histo
ry few things have been more striking
than the persistent contempt held by
all peoples for mercenary soldiers or
those who fought for pay.”

FiGHT ON SURTAX
IS BIO FEATURE
IN TAX REVISION
Administration Forces Will Be Luckj
If Kate Is Reduced as Low as
Thirty-Five Per Cent
WASHINGTON, Mar. 7.—The ta>
bill, which has had a stormy progress
before congress up to the present
time and which was reported favorably
only out of courtesy to Secretary,
Mellon, so that he might have a re
cord vote on the 25 per cent surtax
rate, now faces a more perilous situ
ation.
Republican leaders like Representa
tive Longworth, who from the firsl
saw the necessity for a compromise
have done all they could to keep fait!
with the administration, but they re
alize that unless a compromise is mad(
at 35 per cent on the high surtax rat<
not only will there be no chance at al
for the 25 per cent rate recommend
ed by Mr. Mellon, but there is a like
lihood the democratic plan of 44 pei
cent will prevail.
Republican leaders wanted to repor
the bill out of committee with a 3!
per cent surtax, but the administra
i tion begged them to stand pat an<
j give the bill a chance before the ful
membership of the House. Accordingly
men like Chairman Green, who do no
favor the 35 per cent surtax rate
voted to report the bill to the Hous<
but gave notice they could not sup
port the same rates on the final vote
The administration felt that no com
promise should be made at least un
til both houses had passed the mea
sure and it was up in conference.
But the parliamentary situation i;
such that republican leaders canno
get the House to pass a 25 per cen
surtax and they are not altogethei
sure they can put over a 35 per cen
tax. It all depends on whether any
democratic members support the bill
The democrats in a caucus las
week pledged themselves to stand by
the Garner plan of 44 per cent sur
taxes. Thirty or more democrat;
were absent. The republican leader;
would need only a handful of demo
crats to put their program through i:
they -would only be sure of their owi
ranks, but insurgents, mostly fron
the West, are opposed to a 35 pe:
! cent plan and think the democratic
plan a safer one from a politica
standpoint.
DEPARTMENT ASKED
