BONUS AND TAXES
Plans Meet White House DiSfa-
vor at This Time.

Washington, d. c. This
program of soldiers bonus taxes
was agreed upon last Friday by
house ways and means subcommit-
tee OF congress:
Two and one-half per cent on
the undivided profits of corpora
tions, estimated to yield $aa, ooo,-
900.
On parcel post packages en
which the postage amounts to IS
cents or more, tax of cent for
each rs cents or fraction thereof,
$40, 900, 900.
One cent gallon on gasoline,
SO, 900, 900.
Twenty-Five cents per horse
! power on automobiles, $50, 900, 900.
Double the present 10 per cent
tax on admissions where the charge
exceeds IS cents, 500, 900, 900.
Double existing documentary
stamp taxes except in the case of
sales or transfers of capital stock
on which the rate would be
increased from 1850 of per CEN,
to IIo Of per cent, $64, 900, ooc.
An increase of SO cents per cne
thousand in the tax on cigarettes,
$25, 900, 900.
An increase of cents a pourd
on smoking and chewing tobacco,
IS, 900, 900.
This program later was submit
ted to the majority members of the
senate finance committee, who dis
cussed it with the house subcom-
mittec members. After an agree
ment has been reached the plan
will be presented to President
Harding.
Meantime, another subcommit-
tee of the house ways and means
committee continues work on the
bonus bill itself. Chairman Ford
ney hoped to have the completed
measure with the appended tax
program ready for the house within
week or 10 days. The total esti-
mate of revenue is 1916, 900, ooo,.,
or $34, 600, 600 short of the $780,
600, 600 year the committee has
figured necessary to cover the cash
bonus payments over the two and
one half years beginning on Janu-
airy I, 1923.
1t was stated at the White
House Tuesday that President
Harding thinks it impracticable TO
raise by bond issue at this time
large sum to finance the bonus,
and that he is unalterably opposed
to the suggested eight-point tax
program or return to any OF the
taxes that have been repealed. He
is reported to be favorably DIS
posed to bonus legislation, but at
some future time when the coun-
try's finances are in better shape
than at present. In this connection
it was again pointed out that in
the next IS months the government
must meet about So, 500, 900, 900
of Victory bonds and certificates of
Indebtedness coming due.
Senator Borah of Idaho has sug-
gested 10 the senate that the
requests by former service men
who were not impaired physically
or mentally as a result Of their war
service, might embarrass the gov
eminent in caring for the wounded
and disabled, whom he says should
have much more aid than they are
now receiving.
Representative Fordney says the
bonus bill will pass and that the
veterans will begin to receive pay
ments by next October.

Over Fordney Bill

Washington.--The long-awaited adj
ministration tariff bill was presented
Wednesday in the senate. Senator
McCumber. Republican, of North Da-
kota. in speaking OF the measure. an
nOunced that to give senator's time to
study 1t. he would not call it up be-
fore April 20. Some Republican lead
ers thought It would be passed after
about 60 days Of debate. hut other es-
Inmates ranged as high as three
months.
Experts who assisted the senate fl
nance committee majority to prepare
the bill. estimate that the average Of
its rates Is slightly higher than the
average Of the Payne-Aldrich law. the
last Republican tariff act The Payne
Aldrich level was approximately Al
per cent on all dutiable imports and y
per cent on all imports free and du-
table. The average Of the Democratic
Underwood tariff. which the new bill
would replace. was 31.6O and Ass per
cent, respectively. in 1914. the first
year Of its operation and the only year
when trade was not seriously affected
by the World war or postwar condi
tions.
Comparing this bill with the FOrdney
measure. which the house passed last
July p. and of which this is a rewrite.
the experts estimate that the average
"f all rates is lower. though specific
rates, and more particularly on food
stuffs. are somewhat higher. Exact
comparisons of the advalorem duties
In the two bills are somewhat diff.
cult. due to the fact that the senate
