BONUS STARTS
WAYS and Means Commit
tee Will Begin Their
Work Today
Secretary Mellon is Still Against
Measure But Prefers Sales Tax
to Bond Issue

Washington, Feb. % The seven
Republicans of the House Ways ana
Means Committee who are charged
with solving the problem of financing
the soldiers bonus expect to get down
to brass tacks today. Chairman
Fordney said late yesterday after the
committeeman had had another gen
eral discussion of the whole question
with Secretary Mellon.
The Secretary Of the Treasury was
heard behind closed doors, but he
was understood to have taken sub
stantia!ly the same position that ne
did at the open hearings two weeks
ago when he reiterated his Oppose
ton to a bonus at this time, but
declared that if such legislation was
to be passed it should be financed by
sales or some other form OF tax
ton.
Asked what the Treasury would DO
if Congress passed a bonus bill as 4
general charge against the Treasury,
MIR Mellon was said to have replied
that the amount would be paid bS issu
ing short term certificates He ops
posed this form Of financing, how.
ever. on the ground that it might af-
feet the intele rates on the refund
ing of certificates due III 1929. Some
members Of the committee quoted
the Secretary as saying in substance
that as between a sales tax or bond
issue for the bonus he would recon-
mend the former.
Members of the subcommittee
would not anticipate committee &C.
ton, but the general belief at the
Capitol continued to be that some
form of sales or manufacturers tax
would be recommended. 1t was
pointed out in some quarters that
with President Harding opposed to
both the Original tax program sug-
gested and to the issue of bonds the
field had been narrowed to a sales
tax or the drafting of a measure that
would be a general charge on the
treasury
This last plan is supported by some
Republican leaders of the House and
also by those who are leading the
opposition to a sales tax. Represen-
tative Frear, Wisconsin, declared in
formal statement last night that ne
believed he spoke the sentiment of "a
100 Republican members OF the
House to the effect that sales tax
will be opposed or any rule seeking
to impose it on the members" He
explained that his announcement
was based on the fact that 10 Re-
publicans had signed a petition
against any sales tax and that many
others would sign.
