Confusion in Congress

President Harding's quiet and
rational letter on the bonus and
the sales tax was as far as pos
sible from looking like bomb
shell. Yet if he had exploded
one on the floor of Congress he
could hardly have caused greater
excitement and confusion. His
cain Statement of facts almost
destroyed the power of utterance
in the formerly vocal Representa-
tives and Senators. They went
scnrrying to the cloakrooms in
dismay, only putting their heads
out later to protest that they
were "unalterably" for two
measures which directly contra.
dict each other. Not one of
them was able to give even a
remote hint of how they could
possibly get out of the mess in
which the President had left
them.
Senator Capper and other far
mer Congressman declare that
they will never, while breath re-
mains in them, consent to. the
sales tax; yet they protest that
their hearts beat warmly for the
soldiers bonus. But what isthe
use of vowing that you ardehtly
desire the end when you refuse
to employ the only means of at
tanning it? The words of other

logical and moral mix-up into
which they have been thrown by
the arguments for and against
the bonus. Senator Willis from
the Presidents own State of
Ohio thinks that the plan of Mr..
Harding is a good one, but in
nocently suggests that, instead
Of calling it the sales tax, |
would call it a bonus tax" If
this is not ignorance it must be
malice; for the politicians who
are speaking in the name of the
American Legion would consider
such a name for the tax a cruel
and deadly blow to their aims.
What they chiefly want is to re-
move all connection between the
idea of a bonus and that of g tax
to pay for it. They would like
people to think that the money
would somehow come out of the
air, or from the ground, or be
discovered in that hitherto de-
lightful and apparently unlimited
reserve funds in the Treasury
not otherwise appropriated. "
But all such vagueness has now
been put out of the question by
the Presidents terrible definite
ness. The bonus and the tax
are from this time on indissolubly
linked in the public mind.
Some have pretended to see in
the situation as it has now de-
veloped in Washington a certain
awkardness for those who have
all along been advocating the
sales tax. Here they have it, it
is said, and yet they are opposed
to it. Senator Edge of New Jer-
sey is reported 70 be of the opin-
ion that it is worth the price of
the bonus to get the sales tax on
the statute books as a means Of
raising revenue. But this
again, if the Senator is accurate
ly quoted, is a sign of confused
thinking in Congress. The sales
tax was favored not as a supple
ment but as a substitute. The
intention was to have it take the
place, as scientific, equitable
and fruitful tax, of the oppres-
sive and, injurious taxes which
Congress was asked either to re-
peal or reduce. But those taxes
it has left almost completely in
force, and now talks of taking
up the sales tax only as means
of covering an additional needless
and demoralizing expenditure.
One of the powerful arguments
for the sales tax was that it
would tend to cut down Congress
sional extravaganza. When peo-
pie of all classes and in all parts
of the land were almost daily |
paying tax on their purchases,
it would be a sharp reminder to
them of the inevitable effect of
public expenditures, and would
lead them to urge their represen-
tatives in Congress to hold down /
appropriations to the lowest pos
sible limit. But now it is pro-
posed to wipe out that public ad-
vantage entirely. First we rush
into extravaganza, then we say
that this justifes the sales tax.
There could be no more complete
inversion of the whole original
program, or better proof of the
way in which Congress has
ceased to see clear and think
straight on the whole question
of the bonus and of taxes. The
New York Times.
