Washington, Jan. 8-(By A.P.)-
Confidence was expressed today by re-
publican leaders of the house that
they would be able to press a tax re-
duction to a vote before action Is had
on the soldiers' bonus.
Opposed to giving priority to th'
bonus-a question expected to come to
a showdown at a conferexice of lioise
republicans Thursday night, Long-
worth the majority leader notified the
group of former service men who are.
demanding a vote on adjusted coni-
pensation ahead of tax legislatio that
no effort would be made .to dodge the
issue.
For an hour Mr. Longworth was in
conference with Representatives
Johnson, of South Dakota, Fish of New
York, and Andrew of .Massa'chusetts,
who were active in having the con-
ference called. He told them that "we
have you beaten and will show you
Thursday night."
The discussion was had after it had
been announced at the White louse
that President Coolidge. was in hearty
support of the plan to give- a tax leg-
islation right of way over the bonus
At the same time, a white .house
spokesman in discussing the tax slt.-
uation said the. president considered
that the surtax schedule earried it

age the investment of capital in -busi-
