COOLIDGE SEES TAX
REDUCTION IN PERIL
Veto of Revenue Bill Possible if
Bonus Expense Not Met
Adequately.
NATIONAL DEBT INCREASED
Business Will Suffer, President Is
Reported to Feel.

Tax reduction in the United States
will naturally suffer as a result of
the soldiers bonus bill becoming a
law over his veto, according to an
opinion regarding the passage yes
terday of this measure expressed to-
day by President Coolidge to callers
with whom he discussed this subject.
The President is represented as
having said that his opinion of the
various features of the bill and his
reasons for opposing it are well
known by now, inaSmuch as they
were published in his message to Con-
gress and in the special message sent
several days ago accompanying his
veto. The President said the bonus
law will affect tax reduction some
what this year and more and more in
years to come.
Increases National Debt.
He pointed out that to lift the tax
burden from the shoulders of the public
and from business it would be necessary
to pay off the national debt, but with
the national debt being increased, as it
will be as a result Of this extra load
brought about by the bonus law, tax
reduction must pay the penalty.
President Coolidge is said to have ex-
pressed himself as feeling that aside
from the disappointment to millions Of
people who were anticipating a material
reduction in taxes. that business, speak
ing generally. will also suffer. The
President, however, made it plain that
his first and special desire was to re-
lieVe the people and then to help busi-
ness In his opinion the bonus law will
work in just the opposite direction from
what he thought the people wanted. 1t
will take just SO much more from the
production Of the people to meet the ex-
ira taxes.
May Veto Revenue Bill.
Veto of the revenue bill now in con-
ference was forecast at the Capi-
tol today in view of previous indica-
tions by administration spokesmen
that enactment of the bonus bill
would necessitate disapproval of the
tax-reduction measure by President
Coolidge. 1t was recalled that Secre-
tary Mellon in announcing his tax
reduction plan declared the proposed
cut would be impossible if the bonus
was allowed. 1t was also indicated
that the action of the Senate yester-
day in repassing the bonus bill over
the presidential veto also may have
some effect on the action of conferees,
who today complete the first week
of work on the measure
The President has been informed
by those cabinet officers whose de-
partments will have a direct rela-
tionship with the enforcement of the
bonus law that steps were taken to-
day in their respective departments
to make ready to meet the demands
created by this legislation

continue in cordial friendship, with
America, and realization that CO.
operation between the two nations
in maintaining peace in the Pacific
and solving the great problems OF
the far east is essential to the well

Il may say that I have found on
the part of the officials of the Japa-
nese government, especially Foreign
Minister Matsui. an appreciation OF
the difficulty of my position and a
willingness to relieve me of embar-
rassment.
Il consider that in this crisis the
government and people Of Japan

indeed than might have been ex-

American aviators flying around the
world overcame highly adverse con-

foundations of the building now occu-

before the outbreak of the Civil War,
by J. >P. Boise and William Tucker
who intended to erect building to be
used as a clothing store and harness
shop. They became discouraged be-
cause of the increased cost of build
ing material and the structure was
built in about 1865 or 1868 by the
Second National Bank. The bank
corporation occupied the west side of
the building and T. II. Dinsmore was
located on the east side.
