HARDING FAVORS
SALES TAX

Washington, Feb. 16.-Pay the SOL
diers' bonus with geenral sales tax
or postpone the legislation, was Pres
ident Harding's advice today to con-
gress.
Chairman Fordney of the house
ways and means committee and Nc
Cumber of the state finance committee
said they did not think the bonus
would be postponed, but were silent
as to n sales tax.
Leaders Of the agricultural bloc
were outspoken, however, against this
tax and threatened to counter with
p program which would include re-
enactment of the excess profits and
high income surtaxes and an increase
in inheritance and some other such
taxes This plan also was favored
by some Democratic leaders.
Proponents Of n sales tax professed
TO be confident that because of the
strong desire III both the house and
senate to put through the bonus bill
at this session 4 majority of the men,
bers would come to accept this levy
rather than see the bonus program de-
feated.
Pending further reaction from the
country there seemed to be a disposi-
tion on all sides to move slowly. The
presidents letter addressed to Rep
resentative Fordney was read at a
joint meeting of Republican members
of the house and senate committees
dealing with the bonus question, who
agreed after some discussion to leave
the matter in the hands of the ma
jority members of the house commit
tee.
In suggesting a general sales tax
as "the only commendable plan" of
raising funds, Mr.. Harding said he
believed the American people would
accept such levy for this purpose
adding that it would distribute the
cost so that it would be borne by all
of the people and would not contri-
butte added difficulties to the prob
lem Of readjustment.
If congress would not adopt such
tax, the president wrote that it
would be wise to let the legislation
go over until there was a situation
which would "justify the large out
lay" Calling attention that the ad-
ministration was driving for large
saconnmias.l s.lnpushinxz asdispozitton@o1
surplus war property and that 1t has
other transactions under consideration
which ought to prove great relief to
the federal treasury. Mr.. Harding
added:
at is not consistent to enact legis-
lation in anticir alton of these things
but it would be a prudent plan to
await the developments and can see
in such a postponement people are
genuinely interested"
Copies Of the presidents letter were
made available to the house and senate
Immediately after the delivery of the
original to Representative Fordney in
the early afternoon. There was briet
open discussion Of the communication
in the senate and none in the house
but it was the chief topic of converse.
