CAUCUS CALLED
BY REPUBLICANS
TO DISCUSS BONUS
Treasury Officials Have Data on Pos
sible New Methods of Taxation
to Raise the Funds.
Washington. Jan. 23. Call for a
caucus Thursday night of republican
members of the house on the soldier
bonus was issued today.
Immediate action on an adjusted
compensation bill has been demanded
by a group of members, who were
in the military service during the
war.
At the conference they plan to offer
a resolution instructing the ways and
means committee to proceed at once
to the drafting of a bonus measure.
The resolution also will provide that
when reported to the house the
measure is to be the continuing busi
ness until passed.
Data is Prepared
" House leaders said no effort would
be made at the caucus to instruct
the ways and means committee as to
how it should provide for the rais
ing of the necessary revenue. That
question will be determined, it was
said, by the committee.
Data of possible new methods of
taxction to raise funds for a bonus
has been prepared by the Treasury
department, it was said, for the in
formation of congress.
In the event a bonus bill Is enact
ed, treasury ofiicials said, some tax
would have to be provided. Use of
the allied debt as a basis for bonus
financing was said to be regarded as
impractical.
The treasury, it was added, con
siders as advisable and has suggested
a tax of two cents on all bank checks,
which it is estimated would produce
$50,000,000 a year, while further
revenue might be obtained from in
creasing taxes on negotiable instru
ments. Consider Postage Increase.
According to the treasury's esti
mates, approximately $80,060,000 a
year could be obtained from a three
cents a gallon tax on gasoline.
Increased postage through use of
a 3-cent stamp, it was thought would
produce approximately $70,000,000 a
year.
On the basis of the pending Mc
Cumber bill, the treasury estimated
it would be necessary to provide ap
proximately $800,000,000 for the
bonus in the first two years.

to be considered thoroly by the peo

ibest thing the. special session can do
is to decline to act but to await the
convening of the legislature one year
from now in regular session. By that
time he thinks people will be better
