The treasury has mapped out its financial program for meeting the requirements of the soldiers' bonus and today made itF first deposit $100,000.000 in a special account from which the ad justed service certificates will be paid. It is the plan to add each year a similar amount under the law to this special account and this sum, with its interest compounded annually al 4 per cent is calculated to be sufll cient to meet all payments on the service certificates when the y mature some 20 years hence. Provision is made whereby the fund is equipped from this date to meet such maturing certificates as may be due as a result of deaths of the beneficiaries and the additions to the fund are expected to be able to care for the gradually in creasing maturities of the future years. The first step taken by the treas ury was the issue and sale to itself of 150,000.000 in five year, 4 per cent treasury notes and a like amount of special treasury certificates of indebt edness, the latter being redeemable at the option of the treasury, so that funds instantly will be available when required. By issuing the special securities for the bonus fund and selling them back to the treasury, all disturbing influences of open market operations are eliminated. The secur ities are handletl always at par value of 100 cents on the dollar and the amount of income therefore never will fluctuate. Mellon Praises Plan. Secretary Mellon believes that the plan evolved has many advantages over the suggested practice of dealing in government securities in the open market in that the exact actuarrial requirements of the law will be met. The requirments furnish the basis of annual appropriations to the spe cial fund and thus they hecome the key to all operations in connection with the bonus payments and its fi nancing. The bonus act authorizeel the treas ury to invest soldier bonus funds in interest bearing government obliga tions and to sell the obligations for the purpose of the fund. The secretary in a statement said that in order to make the funds suf ficient to meet bonus payments, it is necessary to keep the moneys invested at 4 per cent from the time of their receipt until payments are required. Since there are no government se curities with interest payable annual ly. r yielding the exact 4 per cent interest, the statemem said. It is ap parent that purchase of any of the outstanding obligations will not meet the fund's exact requirements and will probably be unsatisfactory for sale when their sale becomes neces sary. The secretary said it was expected that the special certificates of in debtedness will be redeemed from time to time to provide needeel cash, that any of them remaining at the end of the year will be refunded into other certificates or notes, and that when these mature, they will be re funded into similar securities until payments fall due in the adjusted service certificates some 20 yea'o later. The advantages of this method were summed up by the secretary as follows: Bond Market Not Disturbed. The securties exactly fit the needs for maintaining the fund. The bond market is not disturbed by purchase of a large block cf secur ities in early January and subsequent pressure for their sale to provide needed cash throughout the year, the effect of which would be buying on a high and selling on a low market. It is not necessary to borrow addi tional cash on December 15 and to carry it until January 1 at less inter est until it can be invested. Cash demands of the fund can be well satisfied and the whole plan ha:; great flexibility. The treasury can meet conditions existing in 19 44, when the adjusted service certificates mature, without selling a lot of government securities unsuited to the market, and to the treasury's program.

Jan. 2. Discussion of the so-called power trust, which Sen ator Norris. republican, Nebraska, would have the federal trade commis sion investigate, again occupied much of the time today that the Under wood bill for the leasing of Muscle Shoals was before the senate. One change in the bill was ap proved by the senate after it had been accepted by Senator Underwood. It was proposed by Senator Howell, republican, Nebraska, and would limit to S per cent profits that might accure from the sale of power or fertilizer. Its author explained that it was intended to "combine the var ious profits and make the production fo fertilizer more attractive." The Norris resolution was brought to the front again by its author, but Senator Erge, republican, New Jer sey, again blocked its consideration.

VANGUARD OF S0 LONS IS OPPOSED TO LABOR LAW Byrum Says Has Drastic Amendment to Intangible Tax Law Rod man Leads for Speaker. Lincoln, Jan. 2. A substantial , vanguard of the legislature arrived in Lincoln today and brought with it the first definite indication of what is going to be the color of the 1925 session. The arrivals today were almost entirely the seasoned members who have withstood the baptism of fire of one or two ses sions, and naturally those who will take the lead in the organization of the session which will begin on next Tuesday. Several definite prophesies might be made from conversations with the members who are here tonight. Per haps the most pronounced impres sion to be had is that the federal child labor amendment which will be before the session for ratification is likely to be turneel down. The farmers are against the amenelment. Everybody else also seems to be. The only protagonist of the amend ment who has yet shown up in the Lincoln hotel lobbies is Senator J. C. McGowan. of Norfolk, who repre sents the labor union thought in each session. Gilmore Against It J. C. Gilmore of Prosser, a farmer, and one of the two or three ranking members of the house at this session in point of length of service, told the World-Herald today that he was against the amendment, not because he believed In child labor, and not because he did not believe that a real menace existed in some states in this respect, but because he be lieved that it concerned a matter which could be best regulated by the separate states, and should not be made a part of the constitution of the United States. A. H. Byrum, veteran legislator and probably the outstanding liber al leader on the republican side of the house, said that he was opposed to the amendment. "I think the ten dency to tack amendments on the constitution of the United States whenever any little trouble bobs up is wrong," Byrum said. "I think that we here in Nebraska will have no trouble over child labor and that we can take care of it ourselves." Byrum insisted that his mind was open, however, but indicated that this openness on. the subject of child labor was rather formal and just Dart of a general liberal policy of not prnssinc bridees irrevocably until they are reached. Every other member of the legis lature interviewed this afternoon expressed himself as against the amendment. Want Short Session Byrum confided that he had some drastic amendments to the intangible tax law up hie sleeve, and that he was willing to fight for them. Byrum was the leader of the opposition to that measure when it was passing through the 1921 session. "I'm not going to propose to re peal the law." Byrum said, "But 1 m going to introduce a bill, if neces sary, to make the rate of assessment of intangible property at 75 per cent instead of 25, as the law provides. James Rodman of Omaha and A. G. Burke of Bancroft were leading the field in the contest for the speaker ship of the house among the mem bers who had reached here tonight Rodman had a perceptible lead on Burke. As usual, members here this early were solemnly declaring that they had no bills up their sleeves, gener ally speaking, and that their one de sire was to see the list of bills intro duced small, and the session soon ad journed. LIVING COSTS ARE STILLPLENTY HIGH Survey Shows Now About 65 Per Cent Above 1914, but 9 Per Cent Below Peak. According to a comprehensive survey of the cost of living in the United States for November 15, 1924, just completed by the nation al industrial conference board, the weighted increase of all items com bined was only one-tenth of 1 per cent between October 15, and Novem ber 15, 1924. All of the separate items included in the cost of living showed variations in this period. Between July 15, and November 15, 1924. there was an average in crease of 2.2 per cent in the cost of living. This change was occasioned by increases in the average cost of food, clothing, fuel and sundries and a decrease in the average cost of shelter. The average cost of light, which had been slightly lower dur ing this period, had returned in November to the level of July, 1924. Between July. 1920, when the peak of the rise in the cost of liv ing since 1914 was reached, and November, 1924, the cost of living decreased 9.2 per cent. The increase in the cost of living since 1914 was 65.2 per cent. The following increases over 1914 are shown in percentages: Food, 50; shelter, S4; cloth ing, 73; Fuel and light, 68; sun dries, 68. The purchasing value of the dol lar, based on the cost of living in November, 1924, was 60.5 cents as contrasted with one dollar in July, 1914. AUTO TOP SHOP Between 6th and 7th on Vine.

An in ternational economic and armament conference with Germany and Rus sia included, such as has been pro posed by Senator Borah, chairman of the senate foreign relations commit tee, is not favored by President Cool idge, who feels that such a meeting would be too broad in scope to ob tain practical results. Mr. Coolidge has not studied any draft of Senator Borah's proposed resolution directing the president to call an economic and armament con ference, but on the basis of prelimi nary descriptions of the resolution is inclined to regard it as too broad in scope to be practical.

PA&L TEHEE ' 1 a SENATE GETS BILL REDUCING SECOND CLASS MAIL RATES Proposal of Administration Sharply Revised by Postoffice Committee. Washington. D. C, Jan. 2. Sharp revision of the administration bill providing increases in postal rates to meet the cost of the proposed ad vances in ciilaiies of postal employes was made today by the filiate post office committee. At the instance of the committee, Senator Moss. re publican. New Hampshire, formally reported the amended bill to the senate. The new measure provides for greatly modified temporary rate in creases in second class mail as com pared with recommendations of the postoffice department. Minor charges in first and fourth class matter ulo were made. Senator Moses estimateel the bill would raise about CO million dollars additional revenue compared with 6S million dollars proposed to be raised under the postofUce schedules. Under the new bill, ne changes would be made in first class mail rates, except an increase from 1 to 2 cents on private mailing cards and fcouvenier post cards. Cut Number of Zones. All reading portions of publica tions now subject to second class rates would be charged 1 U cents a pound, a reduction of onefourth of a cent from the present law and thre'e fourths of a cent from that recom mended by the postoffice. Kates on advertising portions of publication subject to zone rates are revised with the eight zones reduced to three. A charge of 3 cents a pound on the present first three zones H provided, 6 cents a pound on the fourth, fifth and sixth zones, and 8 cents a pound on the seventh and eighth zones. This is an increase over the pres ent lay of 1 cent on first, second and fourth zone matter, a reduction of 1 cent in sixth and seventh zones and 2 cents in eightzone. Present rates for third-class mail are retained. Likewise present fourth class mail rate's includiiijj those on parcel post are retained. A service charge of 2 cents on all parcel post packages is provided, however. Special Parcel Delivery. A new provision creates un ex pedition service for the parcel post at a cost of 25 cents per pakage. Under this service, packages would receive special routing, dispatching and handling from the point of origin to delivery. While reduced rates are asked for second class mail as compared with those purposed by the postotlice de partment. Senator Mobes ej-tiniatel the 2-cent service charge on parcel post will bring in 20 million dollars additional and the new expedition service at least 3 million dollars an nually. Likewiser the reductiou on adver tising matter in the upper zones is expected by Mr. Moses to bring a considerable increase in volume of second class mail by eliminating the use of express and freight by many of the larger publishers. The reduc tion in weight of pavkages accept able as third class, he believes, also will drive much business into other classes requiring higher rates. Acting in almost record time after the conclusion of hearings on the bill, the committee was able to get the measure before the senate be fore it votes Tuesday on President Coolldge's veto of the salary In crease bill.
