Caucus Called

Treasury Officials Have Data
on Possible New Methods
Of Taxation to Raise
Funds.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Call for a
caucus Thursday night of republican
members OF the house on the soldier
bonus was issued today.
immediate action on an adjusted
compensation bill has been demanded
by group of members, who were
in the military service during the
war
AT the conference they plan to offer
a resolution instructing the ways and
means committee to proceed at once
to the drafting of a bonus measure.
The resolution also will provide that
when reported to the house the
measure is to be the continuing busi-
ness until passed.
House leaders said no effort would
be made at the caucus to instruct
the ways and means committee as to
how it should provide for the rails
ing of the necessary revenue That
question will be determined, it was
said, by the committee
Data Is Prepared.
Data on possible new methods OF
taxation to raise funds for bonus
has been prepared by the Treasury
department, it was said, for the in-
formation Of congress.
In the event bonus bill is enacted,
treasury officials said, some tax
would have to be provided. Use OF
the allied debt as basis for bonus
financing was said to be regarded as
Impractical.
In the opinion of the treasury, Off
cials said. it would cost more to raise
the money for soldier bonus from
the sale OF bonds based on. the debts
of the allied natiohs than it would
to feat the country's own obliga-
tions. For instance, it was explained,
should bonds representing Great
Britain OF approximately $5,000,000
be issued as part of bonus pay
ment plan, they would have to be
sold at a discount by this govern
mcnt. because they would be subject
to the various forms of taxations.
Takes Investment Funds.
At the same time, it was added,
the government would have to guar
antee the foreign bonds. the sale of
which will be taking money out of
the investment market which other
wise might 60 Dward American
securities.
Data compiled by the treasury was
understood to cover various fields OF
possible taxation without, however,
considering sales tax as practical
solution of the problem.
The treasury, it was added, consid-
ers as advisable and has suggested,
tax of 2 cents on all bank checks,
which it is estimated would produce
$50,0O0.000 year. while further
revenue might be obtained from in
creasing taxes on negotiable instru-
ments.
According to the treasury's esti-
mates. approximately $80000,000 a
year could be obtained from a 3
cents gallon tax on gasoline.
Increased postage through use of a
scent stamp. it was thought. would
produce approximately %0,O0,000 a
year.
On the basis of the pending Nc
Cumber bill, the treasury estimated it
would be necessary to provide ap-
proNimatelv $S00000.000 for the
bonus in the first two wears.
