{ "CAUCUS ON NEW BILL
t co—
Washington, D. C., Dec. 31.—Pas.
pigé of a soldiers’ bonus bill by
Congress within the mext six weeks
appeared as a possibiiity Saturday
night as a result of insistant de
mands by the Democrats and Re
publican “Progressive” for a chnn('é
to vote before taking up the Mel
lon tax reducticn plan.
When Congress reconvenes next
wedk, Rep’wi:lican leaders of 'f{he
House will be handed a petition re
quest:ng a party caucas for the ex
press purpoce of ordering the ways
and meang committee to lay a bonus
before the House on or before Jan
ua.y 21.
The herus advoeates declare that
it is impossible for Congress to de.
cide iniciligently how much gto re
duce taves before a decision has
been ycached on the bonus. They
want to get the BWonus passed by
the House and on the way to the
Senate while the administration tax
revision bill iz being rewritten by
the way: and eans committee.
The Republicans and Democrats
in the committee are at loggerhcads
over the method to be followed in
reducing taxes, and until these dif
ferences are ' adjusted ‘lth;r'ou'g‘h
lengthy conferences and campro
mises, nothing can be done about
passing the tax bill,
There has been ccnsiderable
criticism of Secretary Mellon among
those who favor the bonus because
the bonus and tax reduction have
been so closely intertwined by Mel
lon’s ctatemient that no tax cuts
were possible if a bonus bill were
enacted.
This is the position taken by Rep
resentative John J, O’Connor (Dem
ocrat), of New York, who succeeded
to the seat made vacant by the death
of W. Bourke Cochran, and who is
one of the “Tammy group” in the
House.
In a letter Saturday night to the
editor of The Cutlook, O‘Conor said
he was sorry that he could not ex
plain Just where he stood, further
than to say taat the Melion _plan
‘viad receive Fic “serions consid
evazion.”

GERMANS BALK AT HIGH
. COST OF SALTED. HERRING
Hamburg, Dec. .12 (AP)—The
price of beer has been boosted many
times throughout any great protest,
but when salted herring jumped to
$1.20 a pound the people vigorously
protested and termed it an outrage.
About the same time sausage reach
ed the unprecedented price of $1.25
to $1.75 a German pound, which i 3
12 ounces. Before the war salted
’ herring sold for about five cents a
pound and sausage from 15 to 20
cents a pound.
Potatoes which retailed for less
than one cent a pound before, cost
16 times a smuch early in Decem
ber in Hamburg and other German
cities. Rye bread, normally three
cents for a two pound loaf, has been
retailing for 13 to 16 cents a loaf. J
. Germans generally have taken asi
~a matter of course the increased
prices of foodstuffs, but they arol
. loud in their denunciation of the
present cost of beer, pretzels, hcr-|
ring and sausage, which they say is
what really pinches their pocket
'\ books so terribly. ‘

That’s the yield of one cow twelve months on /the
farm. Skim milk for the chickens all the year
around. That’s the cow again. And skim milk is the
same as buttermilk as a chicken feed—the best on
earth. The cow pen under crop yields will still give
returns from the soil thirty years from the time yoa
start. No fertilizer on earth like it—no matter
what you pay for it. ~ 4
Then there is the regular twice-a-month cream
check. You have a cash income all the year. But
terfat is highest when our food crops are just ready.

We are of one mind to lend our business assistance
wherever we can to make definite returns from the
farms in our community. All we ask of our cus
tomers is that they keep faith with us and cooper
ate with us in making the farming changes that are
necessary. Our definite aim in 1924 is a studied
farming program with th& crops that we grow and
hogs, cows and hens, with food crops and gardens
for a living. First a living, then acreage in cotton
as we can afford to lose altogether, if it fails. Say
