PRESIDENT TAKING UP
QUESTION OF REVENUE
Bond Issue Plan Favored to Provide
Funds For New National De-
fense Program.
STAMP TAX REGARDED
AS OBJECT OF ATTACH
Not Popular Method Of Raising Money
and May Be Succeeded BY Some
Method Of Direct Taxation.

Washington. Nov 10.--With the ma
tional defense program completed and
considerable progress made with plans
for launching 1t auspiciously in Con-
gress, Presidet Wilson Will soon turn
his attention to the question of reve-
nues. Next week he will take the first
step In this direction when he confers
with Chairman Fitzgerald, of the
House Committee on Appropriations,
and Representative Shirley. the rank
ing Democratic member OF the com
mittee.
The administrators revenue plans
are now In an unsettled state Some
time ago it appeared that the Presi-
dent favored an issue of Panama
Canal bonds to meet the increase in
national defenses expenditures. but 1t
now seems certain that strong diff
ferences of opinion will arise in the
Democratic councils on this subject
With bond issue as basis of
the program the task OF raising reve-
nue. at the next Congress would be a
comparatively simple one. There
would remain only the necessity OF
retaining the sugar duties and re-en-
acting the war tax In order to keep the
governments income at existing levels

cover the deficit and whatever in
creases in current appropriations
might be provided at the next session
OF Congress.
Not United on Program.
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
announced some time ago that he
would recommend TO Congress the re-
enactment OF the emergency tax law
and the suspension of the free trade
clause OF the sugar schedule. 1t now
is certain that the Ways and Means
Committee will support the recon-
mendation in regard to the sugar seed
ule with practically unanimity. but It's
attitude toward the continuance OF
the emergency taxes may be less har-
monious. It was said today that a
number Of Democratic leaders frcm
the West probably would urge upon
the President that he find some more
popular means OF providing needed
revenue than through the continuance
Of the new stamp taxes.
There have beer indications recently
that the President may encounter diff
flculties within his own party in push
ing a recommendation for the issuance
of over 5000. 10000 OF bonds to de-
