DECREE TO CUT TAX HITS BONUS (By George R. Holmes) (L. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. The sudden decision of Republican leaders in congress not to make the hard pressed taxpayer wait until next year for reduced taxation, but to make possible a saving of 25 per cent on his 1923 return, has given the soldiers' bonus the hardest blow it has yet sustained at the hands of the sixty-eighth congress. This was conceded today by even the most pronounced advocates of the bonds. Secretary of the Treasury Melton today gave his unqualified approval to the plan of making the reduction applicable to thir 1923 incomes. Such a policy, he said, fits in with the administration's tax program. The decision of the Republican leaders, if pushed to enactment, will wipe out the $320,000,000 surplus in the treasury. This huge amount of cash actually exists and would not have been affected by the tax reductions which Secretary Mellon proposed to start next year. Furthermore, this great surplus has been one of the principal talking points of the bonus advocates. They have pointed to it as proof that the government is in good financial condition and well able to provide adjusted compensation for ex-soldiers. They have asserted that the bonus could be paid largely from attempted assassination December 27 of Prince Regent Hirohito as he was enroute to address the diet session just dissolved. The Yamamoto ministry which numbered in its personal such liberals as Baron Shimpei Goto was not expected to oppose passage of a universal suffrage bill. Announcement of the appointment of viscount Kiyura as premier was heralded as killing hope of action at this session on the measure because of his known opposition to liberalism.

Manchester ave is the main thorfoare used for this purpose in and about Los Angeles. According to Chairman Gates, the location of this road has been changed to a line 400 or 500 feet north of the railway tracks in order to allow space for a continuous industrial district.

Mattner of Fullerton, standing on a postrum and accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Evelyn Boddy. J. C. Thamer delivered the address of welcome and H. E. Walbeld, county farm advisor, responded.

Pomeroy, after preparing the way with several excellent stories, which included some local jibes launced upon his subject, and for an hour held his hearers absorbed. His commission, he explained, was organized by the Los Angeles supervisors with the idea of solving the inter-community road problems of the entire county. With 50 or more communities to link up, such a body had become a necessity. Transportation, sanitation, parks, water conservation and development, and industrial development are the main objects of the commission, said Pomeroy. Organization of the Los Angeles Floated Control District was part of the means toward accomplishment. The commission was named a year ago, but didn't get down to work until last June, because of the preliminary work required. The first problem assumed was that of prescribing standard regulations for sub-divisions. Since (Continued on page six) Coolidge Will Not Permit Denby to Quit Under Fire By KENNETH W.

Both Denby and Danghery, it was learned today, have informally suggested to the president that they would retire if such action would help to allay attacks by senatorial accusers who in any way might fasten blame or rejection of the Lennox amendment. 'CORRUPTION AND FRAUD' CHARGED Deny Harding-Coolidge Cabinet Discussed Teapot Dome WASHINGTON, Jan. 31—General denial was made this afternoon. President Coolidge will not permit his official family to be shaken in the face or oratorical bombs hurled from Capitol Hill, it was said. Paramount of these is that administration chiefs hold the question whether Denby acted without authority or in violation of laws of congress in assisting the execution of leases to Harry F. Sinclair and E. L. Doheny must be decided in court, not at the Capitol. This statement was made despite the action of the senate rejecting the Lennox amendment to the Walsh resolution which would have stricken out the charge that Denby and ex-secretary of interior Albert B. Fall were without authority to execute the leases. That, a spokesman for the president said today, is a judicial not a legislative decision, especially as the counsel appointed by Mr. Coolidge are going to court for a determination upon that very point regarded as the basis of the fight upon the validity of the leases. Another reason, admittedly, is (Continued on Page 2) MAKE SURVEY OF COUNTY HARBOR Announcement that an engineer, D. H.

CHARGED Deny Harding-Coolidge Cabinet Discussed Teapot Dome WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—General denial was made this afternoon on behalf of the Harding-Coolidge cabinet of charges that the leasing or naval oil lands in California sold Wyoming were discussed at cabinet meetings before the leases were executed by Secretary Fall. The first formal denial came from Secretary of State Hughes, and this was followed by similar statements from Secretary of War Weeks and Secretary of Commerce Hoover. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—Climaxing four days of agrimonious debate and ten days of sensational developments, the senate this afternoon passed the Walsh resolution declaring that the leasing of oil lands in California and Wyoming to E. L. Doheny and Harry F. Sinclair was surrounded by fraud and corruption—and directing President Coolidge to institute legal proceedings to cancel the leases made by Ex-secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall. Just as the senate was about to vote on the Walsh resolution, Senator Howell, Republican of Nebraska, proposed a substitute which would have President Coolidge "immediately seize" the lands leased to Sinclair and Doheny. The senate decided to vote first on the Walsh resolution and then each bad spoken for ten minutes. In addition to commands that an injunction be sought immediately to stop further operations of the Toupon Dome and Elk Hills oil reserves,the resolution authorized the employment of special attorneys to handle all of the litigation independent of the department of justice. A provision was inserted making it necessary for the senate to formally approve the selection of Silaa H. Strawn of Chicago,and Thomas W. Gregory of Texas, already named by the president to start proceedings against Dohney and Sinclair. As soon as the Walsh resolution was adopted,the senate took up the Robinson resolution demanding the resignation of Secretary of the Navy Denby. Before the vote Pittman charged President Coolidge with "playing politics,"by his action in appointing special counsel "six hours after the public lands committee."
