LX NO. 21,422 REPUBLICAN POLITICAL TRICK DOOMS SOLDIER BONUS BILL; SENATE WILL NOT PASS IT Delay in 'Aouse Will Prevent Higher Body From Deliberating on Measure.

$30,000,000 JOKER SEEN. Sales Tax and iNew Levy on War Profits To Be Discarded. (Speoial From a Staff Correspondent of The Evenino World.) WASHINGTON, T. C. May political trick is seen In the plan to postpone consideration ot the soldier bonus on the floor of the House until May 17.

It Is believed that the Mouse Republican leadens, who Influenced the caucus hurt. night to i postpone consideration of the bonus until two -Vooks before adjournment, hit upon i a IMS manner or aiswsms vtro ijw ter for tho.aesalon. i The House will, according' to tnfor-roajtlon leaking through from the Inner circles, pass the bonus bill, knowing full well that It will not have a ghost of a chance to toe Jammed through the Sonata in the week or ten dayo which win 'Intervene before ecess for the national convention Is taken Juno 1. There is very definite opposition to the bonus on both Rides of the aisle In the Senate and with the unlimited debate, no lens than the deliberate manner in which the iSonato con-aid-CTB farge appropriation measures, there is hardly a chance for the bill in Kn fntrlpA before recess. much advertised fight between advocates or a saien iu.uuti of the scheme to make the war profiteers bear the burden of tho soldiers' bonus was a fllwcr when the Republicans of the House met In caucus last night But there was a diversion which made those present forget about their anticipation of a keen scrap on the plan of taxation.

A neat little $300,000,000 "Joker" hidden away In the tentative draft of the bonui bill by a coterie of Westerners who are pledged to their constituent to secure Government aid to "put over" hupe reclamation projects in the Western States, was dragged into the light by Representative! Wood of Indiana Little and White of Kansas, and others, and cuffed and kicked about in a way that brought blushes to the cheek of Floor Leader Frank L. Mondell, who had to bear the brunt of the attack. When the Sennnegamblan in the woodpile was exposed to view he was roughly treated In the presence of his friends, and not oven Mondell had tho temerity to come to his defense. As a Maitit it mav be safely predicted that tho promise ot certain Republicans in I nc iiOUBQ HIU lands to secure Government aid for reclamation projects under the guise of lending the soldiers a helping hand, will not be redeemed. When the assault on the reclamation "Joker" took place Mr.

Mondell and Us other sponsors sat silent. The States which would have benefited by the expenditure of $300,000,000 of Government money on arid lands are Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, Washing ton, Oregon, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Utah. These 8tatet. eeme of the speakers showed, contributed an aggregate of only 170,000 soldiers to the war. New York alone sent 465,000 men into the service and there would not have been the slightest benefit to the Empire State had the reclamation scheme slipped through.

Th. hiihiIi of the reclamation movement dates back to a conferenoo XCeftMAUld Second DAILY. Cprrlrht, loao, by Co.

There was no advocacy of violence but much emphasis on the right of true Socialists to bo repre sented at Albany.
