HARDING VETOES
SOLDIER BONUS
SAYS TAXES, WHICH ALREADY
ARE HIGH, WOULD BE
INCREASED
BILL GOES BACK TO CONGRESS
General Opinion tn Washington IL
That Senate VIII Sustain Veto;
Means Of Financing Bonus
Another Reason of Veto

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Harding has
Vetoed the soldiers bonus blu In
forming congress In a written mess
age that while he was In accord with
the avowed purpose" OF the measure
ne did not subscribe to It's provisions.
The executives action was regarded
here as making impossible a bonus
for the veterans, at least for some
time to~come, as II appeared TO be al
most certain that the veto would be
sustained by the senate. A vote In
the house Is planned Immediately, with
senate action to follow later.
Presidents Reasons for Veto
Mr.. Harding set forth a number of
reasons for returning the bin to the
house without his approval. These
included:
Failure of Congress to provide a
means OF financing.
That inevitably the bonus would
mean increased taxation.
That the legislation would wipe out
everything thus far accomplished TO
reduce government expenditures where
ever possible.
That a peace bestowal on the ex-
service man was a ~''perversion of pub
lie funds and suggested "that future
defense Is 10 be inspired by compensa-
ton rather that consciousness of duty
to flag and country.
That to add one-sixth OF the total
sum OF the public debt for distribution
among less than five million OF no.
0O0,000 people would undermine con
fidence on which the nations credit
was bullded and established the pre-
,cedent of distributing public funds
whenever the proposal and the number
affected make II seem politically ap-
peallng to do so.
That the $4,000 ,O00. 900 OF maturing
public debt In the next six years would
be difficult to meet without adding
the complication of added borrowing
on account of a bonus.
That the adjusted service certIfi-
cate plan OF payment, with Its bank
and government loan provisions, was
little less than a certified Inability
of the government to pay and invited
a ~s'practice of sacrifIclal barter" by
the veterans.
That the bonus would not diminish
the later obligations in the way of pen
sions to the World war veterans.
