to member of Congress:

their viewpoints. For the wounded
and those suffering from loss of limb

Grenville Parker of 120 Broadway,
New York. writes to a member Of
Congress-:
"As an ex-private in the United

take other than the cash features. He
pointed out that since the bill originally
was introduced many States had voted
cash bonus to the soldiers. adding that
this was all the more reason for reduc-
ing the cash payments. He also sug-
gested an amendment under which men
paying an income tax on $4,000 year
would be ineligible to compensation

the cost of the bonus In this connec-
tion he SAID there had been suggested
consumption taxes on tea, coffee, sugar
and other articles and a tax on gasoline,
but he did not approve such taxes.
AS to the use of any part OF the pro-
ceeds from the foreign debt, Secretary
Mellon said the time that returns would
be had from that source was problemati-
cal and that in any event the ultimate
cost to the Government and the country
would be greater than IL direct taxes
were laid. He explained that II the IN
terest were used the Government would
have TO extend its domestic debt re-
funding oprations that much longer at
cost TO the taxpayers, while II the for
eign bonds were sold in the United
States the Government would have to
guarantee the interest and the principal.
and even then the securities probably
could not be sold at par.
To a suggestion that the Treasury
issue certificates OF Indebtedness TO
raise the ssj0.Oo0,o00 for the first two
years and netire them out of interest
from the foreign debt. the Secretary
said this would hinder the domestic
debt refundng operations. The amount
to be refunded, he asserted. was SO
large that no additional securities
should be thrown on the market during
the operations. He also called attention
that the Government was facing a
deficit of $500. 100000 in 1928 which must
be made up.

Asked by Representative Garner
Dem, Tex.) as to the imposition OF 4
tax on light wines and beers as a
means of raising the bonus funds he
declared that with the high tension"
In the country on the prohibition ques-
ton 1t was not feasible to depend upon
this as a source of revenue. Chairman
Fordnsy suggested that there was n
constitutional inhibition on Congress in
permitting the sale OF beer and wine.
Secretary Mellon arrived at the COM
mittee room from the Treasury unat-
tended and had no prepared statement.
During the questioning by committee
men he stood in the well" formed by
the semi-circular raised bench behind
which the committee members sat- He
stated and frequently reiterated that
he was making no recommends tions as
to new taxes and was simply there to
answer questions on that subject. His
examination lasted little more than
two hours.
Brig Gen. Lord, budget officer for
the War Department told the committee
that the department had estimated that
* all the soldiers took cash, the total
cost Of the bonus TO the Treasury would
be $1.0S2. 900. but he declared that
he and other officers believed this total
too low. Members of the committee
agreed that the figure probably was

bonus that few Senators and Repre-
sentatives have courage enough to eX-
press their opposition to it. Senator
Wadsworth IN. W. however, Is one
of those who have expressed 5isap-
proval of it. The Senator said to-day:
TO be perfectly frank with you. /
am not enthusiastic about the cash
payment or bonus part of the plan.
According to the best figures we can
get hold of at Washington the bonus
would cost in the neighborhood Of
H,600. 100000. Uncle Sam has no such
sum in his Treasury. In fact he suf-
fers to-day from an actual deficit Of
$4,000, 100000 represented by outstand-
ing certificates of indebtedness. Uncle
Sam also has an outstanding national
debt of $4,000. 900 900.
Taxes are very high and will con-
tinue to be high for some time to
come. do not believe that the busi-.
ness and agricultural structure of the

the Treasury of $1.600,000,0 900. The

Favor Farm Plan.
II am in favor of any sensible plan
for securing farms for ex-service men
or to aid the men in building houses.
] am not in favor of some Of the wild
land schemes which, I suspect are
being pushed forward and which will
result in unloading on ex-service men
swamp lands and stump lots on which
they would find it impossible to make
a living.
"The truth is the services of the
soldier and sailor cannot be COM

let me add, I have urged and always
shall urge that tie wounded and dis
abled shall receive the most generous
treatment from the Government in
the way of compensation, education

separate and should always claim our

MELLON OUTLINES
BANUS TAX SOURCES
Levies on Tobacco and Auto
mobile HORSEPOWER Called
Feasible.
SUGGESTS HIGH POSTAGE
Stamp Tax on Documents and
Checks Called to Atten-
ton Of Committees.

WASHINGTON. Feb. Funds 10
france a soldiers bonus must be
raised by means of internal taxes, as
it would be impracticable to depend
unon proceeds from the refunded for
eisn debt for this purpose, Secretary
Mellon declared to-day before the
House Ways and Means Committee.
Reiterating his objections to the en-
actment of bonus legislation at this
time, Secretary Mellon said in laying
taxes Congress would have to tap
mostly new sources, as the levies now
in effect were abnormally high for
peace times. He opposed general
sales tax, reenactment of the excess
profits tax, or an increase in any ex-
listing taxes except possibly those on
cigarettes. tobacco and documents.
New sources of revenue suggested by
the Secretary included three cent first
class postage to raise $40, 900; an
increase in second class postage rates
to produce $4,000. 900; two cent tax
on bank checks to yield s3o.0O0,000. and
license tax of fifty cents per horse
power on automobiles to produce $780,
100000 Mr.. Mellon estimated that in
creased documentary stamp taxes would
produce s40,O00.000 and that an addi-
tional S25,000,000 could be had from an
increase of fifty cents per 1000 on Gig
arettes and two cents a pound on to-
bacco.
Discusses Tea Tax.
Figuring that the bonus would cos.
s425, 100000 a year for the first two
years, the Secretary said Congress could
pick out other sources of taxes where
the burden would fall with the least
hardship to make UP the deficit of $685..
