SOLDIES! BONUS
ACT POSTPONED

r tions And Taxation
' ., ' . Problems
WASHINGTON V July : 19 The
Senate and House haveteached the
' - eonclusion to lay asides the ' soldier
; bonus measure for ths ... session ; at
least, and devote attention to the new
? internal tax bill and the tariff meas
ure. 'The' letter of Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon warning, the coun
. try what might be expected if " the
- bonus bill became a law, and . the
stand against the measure taken by
' President Harding, are credited with
...bringing-about the change of senti-
. ment at the Capitol. . Political pres.
sure had no part in the decision, to
v postpone action on the bonus bill.
Before Mr. Mellon laid the situation
, before them so lucidly, few Senators
and Representatives realixed what a
. serious condition would be precipi
tated by the passage of the measure.
Once in possession of the, facts they
.were quick to. see the unwisdom of
piling further obligations .upon the
Treasury 'at this time. ' " ,
