Boulevard v 3052 PHONES $883 WE DELIVER WKp Washington. Dec. 14. The House ways md means committee, now that the tariff and. tax revision are off its hands, for the present at least, will take up the soldier bonus question im mediately after the Christmas recess. Chairman Fordney announced ' todav that the committee's first order of busi-' ness -for the new year would be con sideration of adjusted compensation legislation. Its primary concern, ' he added, would be to - determine how funds with which to pay a bonus can be raised. I The House membershin. according to present indications, will be divided in its views as to how bonus payments should be financed. The opinion ap pears to be general, however, that such a bill must provide a means of raising the funds it intends to distri bute a feature which was lacking in the adjusted compensation measure, which received the approval of the House during the last session, but which was placed indefinitely in com mittee in the Senate. Among the proposals now being- put forward as a means of raising bonus funds is either a manufacturers' tax or a general business sales tax. It. is I also contended by some that, 'if a bonus :s voted, it should in some way be limed up with settlements by for eign nations of the debt owed the United States.
