The danger to the bonus consists
in the declaration of the president that

Democrats and the farmers bloc
will not accept the sales tax despite
the insistence of the president and
William R. Hearst, the editor. There

The Democrats will not accept the

CONGRESS MAY
DELAY BONUS
BY Hugh w. Roberts.

Washington, Feb. 90. - Political
jockeying respecting a bonus for sol.
diers, euphemistically called "adjust.
cd compensation for ex-service men,
continues.
At heart the administration is op-
posed to paying men who emerged
from patriotic service unscathed a
monentary consideration. The same is
true of majority of the members of
both houses of congress.
But those who have taken or will
take an open, hold stand against the
bonus are few and "far between" At
the same time there is no positive
proof that bonus will be voted.
"Jockeying for position on the eve
of congressional elections" seems ac-
curately to describe the situation.
Everybody with the exception of
the very few referred to above, from
the president down, processes to favor
the enactment of bonus legislation.
In solving the riddle, "How shall
the bonus be paid?" men and parties
disagree.
The president insists that sales
tax be enacted so that every man, in
cluding the ex-soldier, who makes a
purchase of the necessaries of life
shall contribute to the fund.
Tax experts of the house and SEN
ate, including Chairman Fordney of
the ways and means committee and
Chairman McCumber of the finance
committee of the senate, propose that
the bonus be paid by imposing tax
on automobile horsepower, gasoline,
checks and real estate transfers.
And the Democrats contend that the
rich shall bear the entire burden.
They threaten to increase the surtax
rates on incomes and by other en-
actments to proceed against the man
who has money boarded or wrapped
up in non-taxable securities.
Democrats argue that the bonus
should be drawn from the man who
has rather than the man who hasn't.
They insist, also, that the man who
grew rich during the war while the
soldiers were making their sacrifices
should prove benefactors TO the men
who permitted them TO- double and

FIGHT TO COME
ON BONUS BILL

Washington, Feb. 22.-The financ-
ing of the soldier bonus by means of
manufacturers or wholesalers tax
was discussed in what was described
as general sort of way" at two ses-
sions today of the Republican men,
bers of the house ways and means
committee dealing with this subject.
1t was announced that there would
be no further sessions until Friday
and members indicated that there
was no disposition to hurry deci-
sion.
Representative Longworth, rank
ing member of the special committee
said it was his judgment that a gen
eral manufacturers and wholesalers
tax similar to that in force in Canada
would be recommended. He thought
the rates would be lower than those
IN Canada as treasury experts had
eXtimatcd that the Canadian rates.
If put in force in this country, would
yield $5S0,000,000 a year, or more
Ihdh T-'o,'Oopu'' III cHtcSS ol. IN,
amount which it has been estimated
will be needed 10 finance the cash
payments to the former service men.
Mr.. Longworth said he did not
think the bonus bill would be ready
for the house this week or next. He
stated that there was some disposi-
tion on the part of many house mem
berS to postpone action on the meas
ure for time to await the opening of
yefunding negotiations between the
United States and the debtor nations.
Calling attention that the refunding
commission had been appointed by
the president, the Ohio member said
there was reason to believe that be-
fore July the United States would
have some of the refunded bonds ir
hand.
The president, Mr.. Longworth
went on to say, undoubtedly would
not be opposed to the sale of some of
the foreign bonds in this country to
obtain money for the bonus. He add
ed that before this could be done con-
gress would have to enact a law Civ
ing authority to the secretary of the
treasury to so dispose of the securi-
ties as the present law provides that
he must use, them M rstirSnG q part
The Ohio member safd tffe pfoSfs
dent was opposed to the enactment of
bonus legislation without any provi-
sion for raising the funds. If the
proposed sales tax provision was
5eaten in the house, he added, the bill
then would simply be charge
against the treasury. 1t was his
opinion that if a sales tax were re-
ported the house would be given an
opportunity to vote separately or
that tax.
A separate vote has been demanded
by opponents of sales tax who con
tinued today to tighten their lines
for the fight that is now regarded or
all sides as almost certain. Oppon
cnts said if necessary there will be
a fight all along the line, from the
ways and means committee, to the
party conference, to the rules com
mittee and finally to the house. They
lid not think the fight would las
| that long but continued to icrculatt
petitions among house members.

LOOKING FORWARD
UNANSWERABLE ARGUMENT

George II. SnaW, CHAIRMAN OF tHe ne
publican state committee, has been writ
ing to William E. Sweet, Democratic can
didate for governor, series of open let
ters which are a notable contribution to
campaign literature. The letters are in
teresting, not merely in their relation to
pending political issues in this state, but
also as an example of campaign argument
that has seldom been surpassed for
cogency, logic and strength.
In the letter dated October 16, Chair
man Shaw says to Candidate Sweet
Dear Mr.. Sweet:
You have publicly stated that yo.-
would abolish the State Rangers and, in
all future crises within the state, make use
of the National Guard to preserve peace
and order.
You have also publicly stated thai
you would convert the National Guard
armories of Colorado into warehouses in
pursuance of your products-warehouses
theory.
Both of these things you would do in
the interest of economy for the purpose of
materially reducing taxation.
Do you realize, Mr.. Sweet, the alb
suridity of your positions from the stand
point of the Colorado taxpayers?
Leave out of consideration both the
actual enormous saving in lives and prop
erty which has been effected by the
Rangers, and the ridiculously scanty cap
acity that our armories would offer for
the storage of farm products-and then
consider the situation:
During the twenty-five months of
La,. liz.
cost the taxpayers l,739.62. This
makes an average monthly expenditure OF
Sl2,O3362 or $l44.4O3.44 per year.
Have you made it plain in your
speeches that in consideration of Colo
radios constructing and maintaining those
very armores which you propose to dis
continue, the United States government
expends annually for the necessary main
tenance of our state National Guard. ac-
cording to official federal figures. the
sum of $3.50, 0,a56.22-thereby relieving the
state of all expense in this respect!
Do you know that If our armores are
not retained as such. this federal aid of
over half a million dollars per year will
be withdrawn? Then, the taxpayers
would be forced to expend annually $780,
machinery which you prefer to use instead
Of the Rangers.
Your positions. Mr.. Sweet. when car
ried to their logical conclusion, resolve
themselves into this:
You would abolish the Rangers from
the motive of ecopomy. and save the tax
payer Slia. a.a03.ia-but you would effect
this saving by saddling upon the people of
our state n debt Of over $4,000 per an
mum for the maintenance Of a substitute
law-rnforcement organization. In other
words. your vicious circle Of reasoning
would cost the state Of Colorado over
9486.000 annually.
Would you advise your own clientele
70 invest in any business run In such fash.
