FLOTAT| ION Of A
BOND ISSUE BY
j. s. PROPOSED
tBx The Associated Press,

Washington, Dec. 17.-Flotation
of q bond issue into which would
be refunded practically the entire
bonded indebtedness of the Ameri-
can government, was proposed to
the ways and means committee to-
day by Jules w. Bache, New
York banker, as means of equal
ling the burden Of taxation result
ing from the war.
Bonds of the new issue proposed
by Mr.. Bache would run for fifty
year They would bear a scale OF
Interest rates starting at per cent
for the first five years, 5h per
cent for the second five years, 3
per cent the third five years and a
permanent rate of Az per cent
per annum thereafter until ma
turity. Mr. Bach declared that
such an issue would serve to bring
Liberty bonds back to par while
at the same time permitting retire
ment of per cent of the outstand-
ing Liberty bonds each year. He
also submitted revenue program
which, he declared, would easily
produce $4,000, 100000 annually.
Included in it was a sales tax of
1 per cent which he estimated
would yield $4,000. 100000 annual
ly. Continuation of the excise tax
es yielding about $300,000,000 a
year and enactment of tariff
which would produce $500, 100000
annual income were embraced in
the program.
AS regards an income tax, Mr..
Bache recommended the enact
ment of a flat normal rate of per
cent on all incomes with an ex-
emption of $4,000. Taxes on in
comes below $4,000, he declared,
were small ana dld not come from
persons from whom the govern
ment should seek revenue,
