V. 8, URGED TO TAKE PRE-WAR
PROFIT TO PAY SOLDIER
BONUS
A Washington special to the Now
York Tribune, dated March, 17 says:
Ond-third of tho pro-war profits
made by American industries during
tho period between 1914 and 'Am er
ica's entry into tho war would bo
light out and takon by tho govorn-
ont, under a retroactive tart moas-
uro soon to be introduced in the
House of Representatives by Repre
sentative Henry T. Rainey, pf Illinois,
ranking Democrat on the Ways and
Means committee.
Although not finally drafted, Mr.
Rnlney's proposal, ho declared to
night, would produco upward of $5,
000,000,000 in revenue, and might
reach a total of $8,000,000,000.
With this additional revenue, he
said, he would have Congress provide
a $2,000,000,000 bonus for returned
soldiers and sailors, relievo the pres
ent deficit of $3,000,000,000 in the
Treasury, and, with the balance au
thorize the Treasury to take up tho
outstanding certificates of indebted
ness amounting to $3,000,000,000.
Under the soldier bonus feature' of
hfs bill, Rainey would provide pay
ment to every former service man of
$40 a month for every month of ser
vico in addition to threo months, and
would provide restrictions on the use
of this bonus. It would specify that
the monthly bonus payments begin
next September.
Rainey defined the "millionaire
class" as comprising those persons
who, prior to 1914, had an income of
more than $30,000 a year. One-third
of tho profits in excess of such in
come, made in the years 1914, 1915,
191G, 1917 and possibly 1918, he
would nave the government take.

manager and said, 'We hoar that
Bryan is going to make a prohibition
speech. The people here won't stand
for it. Wire your general manager

ho didn't want to lose his job, and
for them to wife. A Committee of
citizens did so. I wired in reply, 'Mr.
Bryan has a free platform and. will
discuss any issue or subject he cares
to. Why not see him yourselves?' They
sent a committed to the next town to
meet Mr. Bryan and ask him to sub

fow preliminary remarks lasted half

fence to dry no one ever did. The
anti-prohibition forces were good
sports and took the matter philo
sophically, and if Bryan gave another
talk in that particular ,city ho would
have a capacity audience."

Those coupons would bo payable $40
