there isn't a chance of seeing them
accomplished It's good deal like
the situation that exists when a
tariff bill is up-the Republicans or
Democrats propose measures which
are sure of presidential veto and
they then go out to the electorate
and blame the party in power for
obstructing necessary legislation
Harding faces Crisis.
Congress is at the moment afraid
Of the soldier vote. Il is larger
and considered more influential
than the labor vote of old. Moth
ing so formidable has arisen ex-
cept possibly the agricultural vote.
And there seems to be some kind
of understanding between the agri-
cultural bloc and the friends OF
the bonus. The revival of bonus
agitation comes with the accession
of Senator McCumber of North
Dakota as chairman OF the finance
committee. President Harding had
to go to congress last summer to
squelch McCumber's revolt from
the party program and the big queS-
ton is now whether the president
will stick by the position OF his
secretary of the treasury or wheth-
er he will surrender his conyic-
tons to a political congress. 1t
probably will be the turning point
of his administration. He has told
callers that until ways are provid-
ed to raise the money he will not
sign a bonus bill. The ways are
being provided-additional taxation
directly upon the consumer. Talk
OF a presidential veto grows but
there are as many who think the
president will bow to congress as
believe he will offer successful re-

here by the possibility of making
use of the Mississippi river fol-

contemplated by st. Louis inter.
ests. This would result in great
saving Of freight charges.
The company will be the first il

while this may mean a smaller to-
tai payment it means a much more
difficult one to finance for the
whole burden would come at the
start and this is just the time when
the treasury cannot stand any more
strain. Mr. Mellon estimates that
the bonus plan will cost two and
half million dollars and that the
first year would require at least
$3.50, 100000. One of the treasury
officials who makes 1t his business
to furnish statistics of every kind
Of tax has said that the older
bonus will tax every eigth persons
Of tax has said that the soldier
der.
Soldiers Must Pay 1t.
But there's still another reason
which the treasury has not en-
phasized but government students
of finance know to be true, the SOL
diers will have to pay the bonus
through indirect taxation and the
consequent effect on their own bus
mess opportunities will be consider
able. For in times of business de-
preston they suffer like the rest.
The treasury is afraid of the bo-
nus-afraid that it will react so
unfavorably on business as to cause
greater shrinkage in tax receipts
than is apparent at present and
this entirely aside from the neces-
sity of keeping a sales tax for pay
revenue will have to be collected to
make up deficiencies in other parts
of the revenue law.
Demos Pray for It.
The Democrats in congress are
for a bonus, too. They are pray
ing that the Republicans will enact
the sales tax for they proclaim it
enthusiastically as the best way
they know of to regain power in
congress. The Democrats are egg
ing the Republicans by openly adj
vocating a bonus and by advocating
direct appropriation from the
treasury and the sale of bonds. The
Democrats know this will only en-
barrass Secretary Melons refund
ing plans and make it harder for
the government to sell treasury
certificates whereby big sums are
being borrowed now at reasonable
rates of interest to pay the victory
bonds which come due in the next
few years. II more bonds have to
be f1oated, interest rates will tend
to go up and this will also affect
business operations and retard the
DAYS of normally so confidently
predicted a year ago. But the DEM
ocrats aren't in pOwer-they are
not charged with the responsibility
! of the moment and as usual with
minority party they offer unwork-
able plans knowing full well that
