Special Despatch TO The NEW YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. C., June g
Three years ago, when Senator
Smoot told Congress that the annual
net cost of running the Government,
after the war. would be at least
$4,000, 100000, or three times as much
ar in prewar years, he was accused of
giving aid and comfort to the pessi-
mists.
The Government is about to enter
it's fourth fiscal year after the war.
and the only evidence that time has
brought against Senator Smoot is that
he did not aim high enough by at
least one billion and. possibly, two bill
ions of dollars. In the fiscal year
1921 the disbursements have amounted
to $4,000, 900, 900. In the fiscal year
1922, beginning July l next, they will
be at least SO, 900, 900, 900, according
10 Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
and in 1928 and subsequent years they
viii run anywhere from $4,000, 900 900
TO 100000, depending on whether
the soldiers bonus bill is passed and
or whether Congress adopts a policy
of genuine economy or keeps OH at the
present rate of extravaganza.
The scandal of where all these billions
are going to is Of no more intimate con-
Germ to the taxpayer than is the problem
of where the money is to come from.
And IL the taxpayer has surmised that
all the talk about reduced tax levies was
nothing more than talk his guess has
been correct. Without beating around
the bush it can be stated that while
there may be some changes In incidence
of certain taxes, like those on corpora
ton profits, the net result will be to
bring more and not less money into the
public till than would be obtained II
taxes remained as they are. The changes
much revenue is received. and therefore
the burden can be made lighter. but be-
cause the weight of present taxes Is
breaking down the public carrying
capacity and the burden must be shifted
The accompanying table shows the con-
dition of the nations balance sheet for
the current fiscal year and for 1922.
compared with 1914.
From that table il appears there is
actually reduction In taxation from
81, $50 200, 900 to $3,700,000,000. So far
as the actual receipts of the treasury
are concerned there will be reduction.
But that Is solely because the present
excess profits tax and the super tax on
incomes is smaller. although the percent
ages assessed are unchanged. If the
present taxes were retained II is likely
that the actual receipts by the Treasury

PATRONAGE POLICY
FIXED BY HARDING
Based on Principle That Off.
ces Belong to Party in
Power.

Special Despatch 10 The NEw yosK HERALD.
PHILADELPHIA, June 2.-The Harding
Administration and the leaders of Con-
gress have decided upon definite policy
in relation to the distribution OF Federal
patronage. That policy is based upon
the general principle that Federal offices
belong to the party in power. not to in
dividuals. Therefore IL has been d.cided
that the tenure of Democratic occupancy
Of Federal offices shall be limited TO
eight years. the period during which the
Democratic party was in power.
Announcement OF this policy was made
tonight by Senator Penrose. The Sem
ator arrived here fron Washington at
6 o'clock. He will remain here several
days.
Senator Penrose explained that under
the new policy officials who were ap-
pointed late in the Wilson Admnistra-
ton to offices which previously had
bsen filled by Democrats, are likely to
have their SUCCESSORS appointed in IA
short time.
Under the new plan no consideration
will be given the fact that various IN
dividuals were appointed to particular
office during the years OF Democratic
control. This plan contemplates the ap-
pointment of Republicans to all offices
which were filled by Democrats for
eight years.
'The plan" said the Senator, should
clarity the atmosphere surrounding Fed
oral appointments. I am now having
a record made of the Republican officials
who were dismissed from office upon the
advent OF the Wilson Administration"
Mr.. Penrose appeared to be in excel

strong and he walked with frm step.
Mentally he appeared as quick and Wig
orous as at any time during his long
political career.

HUGHES FOR UNION
in CENTRAL AMERICA
Secretary Gives Formal In
dorsement Of Proposal for
Confederation Of States.

WASHINGTON, June Formal in
dorsement of the Central American Con-
federation of States was voiced to-day
by Secretary Hughes in an address at
luncheon in his honor given by Maxine
H. Zepeda. Nicaraguan Foreign Minister
Mr.. Hughes said that IL the proposal for
the confederation were accepted by all
the peoples concerned "it would, In the
opinion OF this Government be happy
result.
at is difficult TO set bounds to what
may be accomplished in Central Amer
lea with a cessation OF strife" Mr..
Hughes said, "and with earnest endeavor
ON the part of the Central American re-
publics to secure the full benefits Of
joint action in order to insure the COM
mon prosperity to the largest degree
possible. 1t Is not for me to speak of
the details OF such proposals, for this
Government looks solely to the free
agreement of the republics concerned.
believing that it Is only through an
agreement freely entered into, because
of the conception Of its mutual ad-
vantages that the hopes which have been
entertained may be realized"
Nicaragua is the only Central Ameri-
can country which has not ratified the
plan OF confederation. In assuring Mic
araguans Of the cooperation Of the
United States, Mr.. Hughes said that "the
expressions Of our national policy. which
refer to our own interests and security.
merely mean that we find that security
and our welfare in the maintenance OF
fl,a 10 nd ukt ri
that our aspirations may be fulfilled by
conditions which will permit the real
ization Of yours"
There is. of course. no assurance of
peace unless we prize the processes OF
peace. It Is hoped that all remaining
boundary controversies in this hemisphere
may yield to peaceful methods. and this
great source of disturbance and unrest
may finally be removed"
The New York herald., 1921-06-03

mean i'm delaying readjustment. increas-
ing taxes and throwing the entire fiscal
programme out of joint.
The soldiers bonus. as it Is now being
considered, means at the very minimum
81. 600. 600. 900 added to the public debt.
1t authorizes the payment OF from $500
to 5000 cash in ten instalments to every
one Of the 100000 men who were In
the service. In its present shape the bill
would bring the date of the first pay
ment In 1923. when $500, 100000 of
public debt in the shape of Victory notes,
Treasury certificates of indebtedness and
War Savings securities fall due and
must be paid or refunded.
The only way the bonus could be
paid in cash would be through the is
suance of additional bonds, which
would force the Government to go into
the money market in competition with
its own refunding operation. The re-
suit undoubtedly would be the payment
of interest rates OF 6la or per cent.
on the entire $500, 100000 refunded
debt and the $4,000, 100000 bonus
bonds for the cash payments. Such an
interest figure would be unprecedented
in the history of the country and would
itself add 800, 100000 a year to taxes
above the money required for interest
at ordinary rates.
But the bonus proposal has other and
more ominous provisions. 1t contains
the alternative privileges Of the imme-
diate cash payments of $500 to $500,
which would cost at least $2,000,U00
900. or q deferred cumulative payment
reaching a maximum of $4,000, which
in the end would cost the country the
enormous sum of $4,000. 100000, and
without considering the principal sum
at ALL would add $500.000,000 year
to taxes for interest alone.
That spectre is enough to frighten
even the most optimistic. 1t Is not
alone it's financial aspect that is worry
ing the leading thinkers. To pay over a
period of ten months to millions Of
workers sum equivalent In many
cases. and more than equivalent in
others, to the amount of their wages
would mean 20 encourage idleness, to
cut down production and to stimulate
extravaganza. The reflex to this would
be small crops, Industrial stagnation
and possibly national disaster.
There is no certainty that taxes will
decrease over the next three or four
years even under ordinary conditions.
But there is the certainty that IL the
nation passively allows the bonus bill
to become a law taxes will be lacked
up higher than they have ever been in
peace times and will not come down for
the next quarter OF century or even
longer.
