Says Nation Can Stand Tax.

Says Nation CamStand Tax.
Those who favor the bill say the ma
tion can stand the extra tax and they
point out that either a sales tax on re-
tail sales above 81, 600 a month or
retroactive tax on war profits would
hit only "the big fellows" But eX-
perience with the vicious cycles in the
high cost of living has SHOWN in the
past year that the larger concerns
merely tack the tax on their costs Of
production and the ultimate consumer
pays the bill
So many members of the house who
have studied taxation are planning to
go before their constituencies on a rec
"sFd of opposition to any class legislation
whatsoever, whether it be for labor or
soldiers or any other section of the
community. Yet this number is a min
ority.
The real truth is that. if the ma
jority of the house believed the bill
just presented to the ways and means
committee had a chance of being en-
~dcted into law, they wouldn't rush it
through so hastily. But the general

that If it Is still Objectionable. the
president would probably veto it, thus
making it even more advantageous po-
liticaly to argue that the Republicans
wanted to help the soldiers and the
Democrats didn't.
1t is to be noted that o: all the five
plans suggested whereby aid is to be
given to the soldiers, none of the cash
payment features is to go into effect
until next January. Thus if the SEN
timent OF the country in the next cleo
tion is adverse, the measure can be
repealed without endangerng the
chances of those Republicans VINO mus
depend on the soldiers vote at the next
election.

On the other hand, the cash bonus,
based upon the number of days the vet
eran was in service would mean at
least a billion dollars more in taxes
and. if the new and complicated sug-
gestion for an insurance certificate
should go through as written in the
cost would be nearly $4,000, 900, 900,
Ths estimate may be found later to
mave been exaggerated, but several
house members insist that the new plan
would knock the value out of the war

thing too formidable for the average

when a demagogue starts campaign

The significant thing is that neither
