WASHINGTON iiiiIiI
LETT ERE
BONUS HITS TAX HOPE.
BY HARRY B. HUNT
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The
action of Congress in overriding
the presidents veto on the bonus IS
believed to have made more coz
tain a veto on the tax bill when il
is finally submitted to tie White
House.
For one thing, enactment of the
bonus makes necessary the raising
Of s144.ooo, 900 in 1925 which
would not have been needed had the
presidential veto stood.
The rates in the revenue bill, as
it finally will be presented, will be
substantially the Democratic rates,
which both Mellon and Coolidge
have opposed as unscientific and IN
ADEQUATE. tanning through the
bonus. therefore, against his wish,
gives the president a plausible basis
Tor rejecting the tax bill on the
ground the new rates will not raise
enough cash to meet other necessary
/ expenses of the government and
also provide the money for the
bonus.
I More than the expense Of the
| bonus, however, is troubling ad-
ministration chiefs, with respect to
the new revenue measure.
There is a growing doubt as to
| the permanence of the present ma
tional income. With business pros
porous, wages and salaries high, a
reduced rate on income taxes mjghe
easily be possible, even after pro-
viding for a bonus.
But there has developed during
the past two months a distinct slow

This may mean merely that business
proposes to move cautiously, as is
often the case during presidential
campaign years, or it may mean tina,

TREATMENT OF RETURNED SOL. DEER HAS BEEN DISGRACE
 FuL, CLAIMS NEW MIN. ESOTA SENATOR
By Magnus Johnson.

It is not necessary TOT me to state where I stand on soldier legislation. The movement that ] represent has gone on record number of times on that question. It was the Farner.La. Dor administration in North Dakota ,ithat gave the veterans Of the World War their first bonus, and in all of the States of the Northwest the Far mer-Labor members in the legislat ures have been among the first to act in behalf of the ex-service men.
 In 1919, there was introduced in the Minnesota Legislature soldiers bo- nus bill. It was introduced in the House by MT. Welch, tho Nfnpartisan League floor leader, and in the Sen ate by MT, Devoid, Labor member from Minneapolis. That the measure at that time failed is no fault of our members, for they supported the bill 10 man.
 The eX.service men are entitled to all that the country is able to give them. They were sent to Europe to help make the world safe Tor dem. Ocracy, "a fact not yet realized, aLd they were given assurance at the time 1 that when they returned nothing would be too good for them." Ot course it goes without argument that that Vas pretty much bunk" inas- much as the ex-service men have re ceived very little consideration since they returned from the battle-feids of France.
 In my keynote speech delivered at Isanti, Minnesota, on June 25, 1923, l said.
 Disgraeeful Treatment
 "The disgra aceful treatment of the returned soldiers both in the matter of low pay while they were ill the ar my, and in the way they were brought back and dumped on the labor market without plan, should be recognized l duu llSHtcu oo idl dS poS9IOIc 4NO reconstruction plan was worked out because Wall Street feared that any expense for the soldiers would inter fere with the repeal Of the excess pro- fits tax. Later nothing was Gone for | fear that bond issue would interfere with the deflatlOn policy
 "A soldiers bonus should be paid and I believe can Le paid, with taxa tion that cannot be shifted to tie peO- i pie. know of no redson Gor exam pie, why anyone should inherit a mil lion dollars in America while these soldier boys who sacrificed for their country are without small stake to start life over again.
 In saying this I was merely voicing .ne position taken by the party that elected me. We are absolutely for a soldiers bonus and we believe that ii possible it should come out of the ex cess profits of those who robbed the I people during the war and who are still engaged in that unhoiy occupa tion.
 At Washington l shall do all in nly power to secure the passage of bil giving the exservice men bonus. l shall also support any other iegitirEase legislation in behalf of the returned soldiers of the warid war.
