FUNDS FOR BONUS MUST COME FROM
 INTERNAL TAXES
Cannot Depend Upon Pro- ceedS of Foreign Debts for This Purpose, Says Sec
 retary Mellon
By Associated Press


 Washington. February 2.-Funds to finance a soldiers bonus must be raised by means of internal taxes. as it would be impraeticable to depend upon proceeds from refunded foreign debt for this purpose. Secretary Mel lon declared today before the House ways and means committee.
 Reiterating his objections to the en- aetment of bonus Legislation at this tlmt the Secretary of the Treasury said that in laying taxes Congress would have to tap mostly new sources as the levies now in effect were ab- normally high for peace times. He opposed a general sales tax, re-enact- ment of the excess profits tax, or an increase in any existing taxes except possibly those on cigarettes, tobacco and documents.
 Suggested Revenue Sources
 Nev sources of revenue suggested by thk secretary included 3-cent first class postage to raise s70.0o0. 000; an increase in second-class postage rates to produce s3o,000 900; a 2-cent tax on bank checks to yield $50, ,000. GOO. and a license tax of 50 cents per horse Yuweri on automobiles to produce 100000, 900. MT. Mellon estimated that an additional 20.000,000 could be had by increase of 50 cents per 1000 on cigarettes and 50 cents per pound on tobacco.
 Figuring that the bonus would re- quire s542, 400 a year for the first two years, tho secretary said Con- rress could picc out other sources of taxes where the burden would fal. with the least Aardshit in order 10 make up the deficit of }l25 ,000. 600 as between the yield from the specific suggestions he had madi and the cost of the bonus. In this connection he called attention that tfere had been suggested consumption taxes on tea, coffee, sugar and other articles. but he did not approve suchtaxes.
 Can't Use ForeiH3 Debt
 As to the use of anS part of the proceeds from the foreign debt Mi. Mellon said the time hat returns would be had from thal source was problematical, and that In any event the ultimate cost to the cuntry would be greater than if direc taxes were laid. He explained that 1.-the interest were used the government would have 10 extend its domestic det refunding operations that much lonkr at cost to the taxpayers, while ilthe foreign bonds were sold in the Qtted States the government would hae to guar antee the interest and tK principal, and even then the securitls probably could not be sold at par.
 As to suggestion thatthe treas- ury issue certificates of ihebtedness to raise the $S50, ,000, 900 if the first two years and retire thembut of the interest on the foreign deb MT. Mel Ion sad this would hindel domestic debt The amount to be reunded he asserted, was so large thalno addi- tional securities should be lrown on the market during the operiions. He also called attention to the hct that the government was facingh deficit of $500, 900, 000 in 1928 whichnltst be made up.

M'A5o6 DENIES THAT
 U. S. "RUINED' ROADS
By Associated Press

Washington, February 2.-The charge of certain railroad executives that the government ruined the roadeS is groundless, William G. Me Adoo, former Secretary of the Treas ury and war time director general of railroads, told the Senate interstate commerce committee today in con- cludlng his testimony in it's inquiry into the transportation situation.
 "The indisputable fact is that the government saved them," he declared, adding that government operation gave the public improved service and saved millions of dollars in trans portation costs"
 Summarizing his testimony MT McAdoo asserted that he had shown that the appalling transportation crisis lat the time federal control was inaugurated," forced as a vital military and economic necessity the taking over of the railroads; that federal control {. alone could save the situation and did save it." and that congestion was broken, rail road lines were co-ordinated and operated as an effective national machine and the required amount Of transportation to meet military needs was supplied"

 Mrs. Galloway is the only sur viving sister of the late Governor and Senator Joseph F. Johnstor- her grandfather being General Ferney. of Revolutionary war fame, who afterwards represented his district and state in the House and Senate of Congress.
 Informal Reception
 Nowt this birthday party isn't going to take the form of birth day, with 100 candles on a cake. It's to be an informal reception from. 4 to 5:3O o'clock, and the famik connection and old friends will call throughout the after noon, and draw inspiration from a life that has been merry and fun-loving, and unselfishly lived; and that believes very faithfully in a great good God who knows what He's about.

She smilingly declares some times, however:
 The reason I'm here so long, I guess. is that old Father Time has just teetotally forgotten all about mei I'll have to speak to him about that one day when I meet him somewhere with his big scythe."
 The real reason of her longev- ity, Mrs. Galloway attributes to the fact that she has lived "one day at a time, enjoying its pleas antness and submitting to its clouds "as part of Gods great plan in which somehow, l am a factor"
 Don't you ever fancy that she doesr,t keep .upA with modern thingsl She is interested in cur rent events, rides out in a big automobile, sits in the sunshine of her beautiful home on Twelfth avenue, south-one of those old fashioned southern, wide -porched affairs-and says very emphat- ically:
