BLANK CHECK TO
CLASS OPPOSED
Congressmen Unwilling to
Let Him Fix Interest
Terms OF Loan
TAX EXEMPTIONS
NOW THE ISSUE

WASHINGTON, Feb. i2-The Senate
Finance Committee and the House
Ways and Means Committee VIII mol
recommend to Congress that wide d s
cretionary powers In liking terms OF
the next loan TO be floated be vested IN
The Secretary OF the Treasury unless
that official Is able TO present TO these
committees convincing arguments OF
the necessity for this action.
The position OF leading comm ttee-
men is strongly adverse to continuing
the practice OF extending TO executive
ofllcials the arbitrary powers which
many OF them have had and stlll have
under legislation forced through the
necessity Of war.
There is a greater willingness by the
committees 10 give Secretary Glass dis
erection in fixing the amount OF the next
loan with a maximum limit set by Con-
gress than there Is 10 leave Il In the
hands OF the executive branch Of the
government TO name the interest rate
and decide whether the next ssue Of
bonds shall be tax free. Mr.. Glass will
be invited TO appear before both the
committees.
The principal problem so far Is the
interest rate concerned. There is con-
siderable opposition TO exceeding the
Interest rate on the last Liberty Loan
on the ground that the people who
bought those bonds for patriotic rea-
sons might feel nat they were not
fairly treated In having an after the
war Issue bear higher Interest rate
and have a higher market value
Opposition TO the powers sought by
NJ. Glass was openly voiced in the
House yesterday by Representative
Moore PENN
"From my point Of view" he said,
"the hour has struck when Republ-
cans at least, in view Of conditions
abroad and of the condition OF our

and say even 10 the President that we
mist protect the interest Of the tax
payers OF the United States. What is
II that the Secretary or the Treasury
proposes7 Nothing less than that we
should give him the blanket authority
to raise money as he sees OF at any
rate OF interest he proposes 10 pay
without regard 10 the taxes or TO the
Constitution, which prevents us from
exempting taxes In certain circum-
stances"
las far as can see." said Repre-
sentative McFadden (Penn.) the Sec
retary OF the Treasury has outwilsoued
The President. Mr. Wilson from Time
TO time asks us TO sign blank checks on
the treasury only; Mr.. Glass wants US
to sign a blank check on the wealth
and resources Of the United States OF
America.
III is lime the people realized the
magnitude OF the obligations they have
taken on through the wa: They snould
understand that this is not the last
loan; that In all probability before the
year Is out another loan OF similar
amount will be necessary and the ex-
penses OF readjust ng and conducting
the country back TO normal conditions
probably will require several addition

I'VE have had sufficient experience
with Liberty Loans to enable Con-
gress 10 consider intelligently such
features as time, interest rate. tax ex-

secretary wishes 10 settle In his own
way and at bis own time"
