DRYS STUNNED
BY SUGGESTION
ON BONUS BILL
Stand Aghast at Proposal to
Raise Funds by Wine and
Beer Tax.

WASHINGTON, Dec 2O.-Dry leaders
in Congress were up in the air" today
following the decision of proponents of
the soldiers bonus bill" to jam the
measure through with Il tax on light
wines and beer.
Administration sympathy with the pro-
posals looms as an element of tremendous
strength for the bonus" supporters. Sec
rotary of the Treasury Melons decision
not to oppose the bonus measure
should it involve payments out of reve-
nue. raised from beer and wines tax was
regarded by bonus" leaders as a signal
Development
Tax experts of the country said if
high tax is imposed on beer and wines
the American people would contribute,
through this revenue source, from $500,
100000 10 S1,0OO0O0,OOO a year in taxes.
If such tax is made legal, and beer
and wine sales are legalized under an
amendment To the Volstead law holding
them 10 be Misunderstanding, experts said,
after the first year of its operation. con
sumption of such beverages would attain
such proportions that the Governments
revenue might easily exceed $1,000, 10000
year.
Chairman Fordney of the House Ways
and Means Committee. believing the idea
practical as n revenue expedient, is in
frequent conference with his associates
on the committee and with the Treasury
advisers
Administration leaders, before coming
out in open support of wine and beer
revenue plan, were carefully gauging the
changes in the lineup which the plan
viii bring about.
