PETITION TO CONGRESS FOR
ACTION ON SOLDIERS BONUS
WITH SALES TAX TO PAY IT

We respectfully petition Congress to pass the SOL
diers bonus act without further delay and also to levy
sales tax to obtain the money to pay the bonus, for
the following reasons:
FIRST-Pubic opinion throughout the United
States is undenably in favor of the soldiers bonus
shown by the decisive majority in every State in
which a popular referendum has been taken-n
Maine by to l; New Jersey, 3R to |; New York.
nearly to |; Rhode Island to l; Wisconsin, to
l; Oregon, to l; Washington 21a to l; and so on
SECOND-We believe that Congress, if permitted
to vote the soldiers bonus will favor with
greater unanimy regardless of party than the popu-
lar aority by which the people in twenty-five states
have already approved it, believe that the soldiers
bonus cannot and ought not to be defeated and that
the longer is postponed the greater the injustice.
THIRD-We believe the new tax scheme proposed
by the Ways and Means Committee is only little
less Objectionable than Secretary MELONS proposal for
threecent postage and for three-cents-a-gallon
any soldiers bonus whatever, and hope by linking it
with such new, destructive, and unpopular taxes to
kill the proposition altogether.
FOURTH-If the soldiers bonus is not only right
but inevitable and if the United States is not to lag
behind England France Italy, Canada and Australia
which have already paid liberal soldiers bonuses, then
our payment is already long overdue, not a debt
flor debt to the soldiers be paid but
just tribute the valor and the sacrifice of the
men who won the
FlFIH-The only question that remains is: By
what system of taxations shall the money be raised?
Not by bond issues, because it against the trad-
tional policy of the United States increase debt in
time of peace. Not by any irritating, unreasonable,
destructive tax individuals BUSINESS or industry
because already have too many such taxes
small general sales tax will raise than enough to
pay the soldiers bonus; it will bear heavily upon no
If the experience of Canada and our own Philip
pine Islands, where the sales tax is in operation re-
peated the system will meet with such favor that it
will become of the approved methods of raising
necessary after the soldiers bonus has been
paid.
