The BONUS AND TAXES.

The house committee having in
hand the framing of soldier bonus
bill appears to be making rapid prog
ress with the measure. Passing bo-
nus law means passing a tax law.
Every man who supports a bonus
must, If he be honest, also support a
tax. The question before congress-
therefore, is that of devising a tax that
will produce revenue for a bonus
without doing more harm than good
In an undertaking of so large pro-
portions. there are limits determined
by economic laws beyond which the
nation cannot go without a reaction
which would do the soldiers them
selves an injury. To pay adjusted
compensation necessitates raising
enormous sums of money, and the
only way to raise money is thru taxa
ton. Taxation must eventually fall
upon producers and when taxation
passes certain limits, it becomes re-
pressive of production and Injuries the
whole nation, the soldiers among the
rest.
1t would little profit returned
soldier to be paid a bonus if the taxa.
tion measure destroyed the profits OF
the industry in which he had beer
employed and eventually cut off more
from his salary than he received ir
bonus. This is a feature of the prob.
lem which national legislators mus
keep constantly in mind.
The proposed tax on gasoline and
automobiles places a burden on rnanS
Of the eountry's industries. The use
Of gasoline enters into almost every
line OF business and the automobile
has grown to be one of the prime ne.
cessities. Already it is bearing more
than dts share of the public burden.
Tobacco and cigarets can stand the
additional tax proposed. altho tn,
benefieiaries of the bonus themselves
will pay their full share of it.
The tax which It is planned to plac,
on stock, bond and reai- estate trans
actions is a distinct burden on bust
ness and should not be levied excep
as a part of a general sales tax.
The additional tax on theater tick
cts promises to be unproductiva o.
