SALES TAX Is
HARDING PLAN
AS Only Practicable Means
Of Raising Money for
Bonus
HE INFORMED
CONGRESS TODAY
In a Communication 10
Chairman Fordney OF
Was and Means Com.

Washington, ID. c.. Feb. l6.-Presi-
dent Harding informed Congress to-
day he considered general sales tax
the only feasible method oil raising
funds for a soldier bonus.
The executive in letter addressed
to Chairman Fordney of the House
wavs and means committee and Chair
man McCumber OF the Senate finance
committee suggested that unless Con-
press saw fit to enact sales tax pas
sage of bonus legislation should be
temporarily postponed.
II believe the president wrote, the
American people win accept the levy
of a general sales tax to meet the pro-
posed bonus payments, and we should
contribute thereby no added difficulties
to the problems OF readjustment. II
Congress will not adopt such a plan
II would be wise to let the legislation
90 over until there is situation which
win Justify the large outlay
Declaring that the government had
under consideration the disposition Of
surplus war properties and other trans
actions which should bring great re-
lief to the treasury, the president said
il would be wise to let the legislation
90 over If Congress did not deem It
advisable to adopt the sales tax.
The presidents letter was regarded
generally at the Capitol as leaving the
bonus situation even more complicated
than before. Senate and House SUBJ
committees were to meet late in the
day to receive and consider the White
House communication.

DROPS DISCOUNT RATE.
Bank Of England To-day Reduced Rate
to 4 IL Per Cent.

London, Feb. Is. (By the Associated
Press The Bank of England to-day
reduced its rate of discount to 4 IL
per cent.
The reduction Of the bank rate was
primarily made possible by the recent
large reduction in the governments 2
floating debt and currency circulation,
which contributed to the plethora OF
funds in the money market, permitting
the placing Of treasury bills at lower
rate and the suspension OF the five
per cent bond issue.
For long time the banks minimum
rate has been quite out Of proportion
to the market rates and as the ad-
vance in New York exchange removed
one of the adverse conditions in the
financial situation, assisted by larger
investment Of American funds here
the bank of England was enabled to
give the trading community this relief
Of reduction Of one-half Of one per
cent in the official minimum.
Discount rates have been remarkably
weak during the past few days and
only slight adjustment will be neces-
sary to meet the revised minimum
rate.
