WASfllNGTON.-Th soldiers bonus
should be paid out of special taxes.
such as increased first and second
class postage and tobacco levies, Sec.
retary Mellon declared today before
the house ways and means committee.
These estimates Of revenues from
special sources were made by the
secretary:
One cent increase in first class post
age, $40 900, 900.
Increased second class postage, to
wipe out deficits in that branch OF
the postoffice department, $50, 900 900.
Increased cigarette tax, the increase
amounting to so cents on one thous-
and. s25, ZOO, zoo.
Increased tobacco tax, two cents
pound, $4,000, 900.
Increased documentary stamp taxes.
SAC, ,000,0 900.
A tax of two cents on each bank
check, $40, 900, 900.
license tax of so cents a horse
power on automobiles, 500, 900, 900.
The total estimated return from
these taxes was 5000. 900, 900.
Mr.. Mellon said the bonus would
cost 1925, 100000 year for the first
two years, and told the committee
that it could extend the list OF taxable
sources 10 make up the deficiency
He made it clear that he was not
recommending" any of the taxes sus-
gested.
The treasury secretary opposed
general sales tax on the ground Of
the cost and difficulty OF the admin.
istration.
Il should say that we cannot in
crease the taxes already in existence"
said Mr.. Mellon, "as they already
are burdensome as should be borne.
We should go further and find some
broad class of commodity on which
reasonable taxes would not be too
great n burden.
Il think that the use of the foreign
debt for this purpose would be i'm
practicable. The foreign debt is
very uncertain proposition and TO
undertake TO use il for this purpose
would lead to u great many difficult
ties. II is problematical whether
funds can be obtained within the time
to meet the bonus.
ut would be much better for us TO
provide the funds and collect the for
eign debt when possible than to pledge
that source for something when we
don't know what the source will
yield.
Anyhow. this would be a cumber.
some way Of raising money for the
bonus and in some respects would cost
more than the other way for IL we
undertook to sell the campaign Sc
curities, they would not bring as much
in the market as our own securities.
In other words. they could not be
sold at par"
