ON SOLDIERS’ DONUS
WASHINGTON. Feb. 28—The sol
diers bonush question was allowed to
simmer today, the special commit
tee dealing with the question of i
ways of raising funds, deferring fur
ther sessions until tomorrow. There
was no indication when a decision
would be reached, but some commit- i
teemen said the bill probably would |
not be reported out of committee
this week or next.
Sentiment in the special committee
seems to be for reporting out a
bill carrying a manufacturers and
wholesalers tix similar to that in
Canada, but lower rates. This It was
said would be taken up when the
committee resumed sitting tomorrow.
This or any other form of sales tax |
is Strongly opposed by approxi
mately 100 House Republicans.

But lew cases of minor importance
will come up for the notion of the
