MORGENTHAU
WARNS Of
BONUS
Treasury Chief Says Any
Plan Means an Increase
In National Levy
International News Service

New Federal taxes must be i'm
posed if any bill for payment OF
the soldiers bonus is enacted by
Congress, Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau declared today.
Appearing before the Senate Fl
nance Committee considering
bonus legislation, Mr.. Morgen-
thau conceded that the Treasury
has given thought to such a con.
tingency, and proposed a gradu-
ated inheritance tax as an ettec'
tive method of raising the neces-
sary revenue. He said:
1--WE have worked it out on a
basis that will raise from 200
million dollars to 500 million
dollars yearly"
The Treasury Secretary said
that taxes would be necessary no
matter which of the pending
bonus bills was passed including
the so-called Administration COM
promise presented recently by the
committee chairman, Senator Pat
Harrison Cd, of Mississippi.
This would pay the veterans the
face value of their adjusted
service certificates minus two and
one-half years interest, immedi-
ately.
Outlines Tax Need
Mr.. Morgenthau warned that,
without the revenue-raising tax,
Federal securities would suffer
should bonus bill be passed. He
said:
81 don't think we can enjoy
the present favorable rates and
favorable market for the sale of
Government securities if new
expenditures are incurred which

which have already been out

upon all purchasers of Govern
ment securities, and would tend
to slow up the whole recovery
program.
THE Treasury, therefore.
would view with great concern
the enactment of any bill which
calls for large additional expen-
ditures, without compromising
additional taxes"
Promises Details
The Treasury chief did not go
into details in explaining his pro-
posed inheritance tax but promised
at the request of Senators to pre-
sent figures to the committee with
in "a hours. He said the Treasury
had given careful study to the
question and felt that tax was
necessary if any of the pending
bonus bills was passed. He refused
to discuss the merits or dement's

SLASH PER|LS
BIG BUILDING
PROGRAM
Proposal of S29, 100000 For
"a New Fighting Ships
HaIved by Committee

President Roosevelt's budget es-
Inmates for the Navy were
slashed $27,657,5S6 by the House
Appropriations Committee in re-
porting the annual naval supply
bill today.
While the bill carried $457,-
786,261-largest naval supply bill
since 1920-the slash threatened
to slow the Nays huge building
program.
The most striking cut was
halving the budget proposal of
$29, 100000 to begin construction
of "a new fighting ships. The
bill also carries funds to con-
tinue work on 20 ships.
Navy Held Unprepared
While the committee specif-
1cally provided that the entire "a
could be started, the lack of
funds may check the progress
of the construction.
Testimony at hearings, made
public in connection with the bill,
revealed a declaration by Ad-
miral William H. Standby, chief
of naval operations, that the
Navy is not prepared for war.
Striking features of the bill
are:
Total of $457,786,261 is $172,-
98O,629 over last year. In 1920,
just before many vessels were
scrapped under the Washington
Treaty. $6OO,OOO.OOO was appro-
priated.

struction of one aircraft cruiser,

 Such was the enthusiastic story of 4 ten&day fishing and Inspection trip in Southeast Alaska waters as related by Corey Ford and Alistair MacBain, famous New York writ CTS and ardent fishermen, upon return to Juneau yesterday even ing.
 Tt makes the famous Maine fish ing look like something to be done in a bathtub,' commented Ford, as he regretfully closed his tackle box and opened his typewriter We did things with a fly that we didn't think could be done anywhere. We wouldn't have missed this trip for a million dollars. You'll have to take Juneau out somewhere and sink it to keep us from coming back"
 Ford and MacBain were the guests of Frank Dufresne, Assist ant Executive Officer of the AL aska Game Commission, on one of the regular ten-day patrol trips of the Grizzly Bear.
 Places Visited
 We visited Admiralty, Kuyu, Kupreanoff and Chichagof islands, " said MT. Dufresne this morning. T showed them the problems we have to contend with here, so that they could draw their own com parisons between conditions here and in the various States. As they were especially interested in fish. I showed them three or four of our fishing streams on the general coast patrol. They seemed to en- joy it tremendously"
 Ford and MacBain were enthus- iastic in their praise of MT. Du- fresne. He knows everything about everything" they said. Tt was like being shown through zoo by the keeper. He knows every trout and bear by it's first name" Work Is Praised
 They were enthusiastic, too, in their appraisal of the work done by the Alaska Game Commission.
 Tt is a complete paradise of game management" said Ford,

HERR. CHAMBER URGES ACTION
 ON AIR MAIL
Hope to Have $25,O ,O00 Ap- piled on Contracts to
 Continue Alaska Service

In an effort to continue the Southeast Alaska airplane service which is scheduled to come to an end September l, the Territorial Chamber of Commerce has wired Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Di- mond urging that he endeavor to get the Postmaster General to use the $25,0o0 recently appropriated by Congress for air mail contracts in Alaska, toward working out some immediate plan.
 The present plan of the Pacific Alaska Airways is to discontinue regular scheduled operations the first of the month on grounds that passenger and express service is not sufficient to warrant the up- keep.
 Wires Peck
 The Territorial Chamber prev iously had wired L. s. Peck, Pan- American Airways official and chief of PAA, protesting the discontinu- ance of service but that official replied that it would be impossible to continue unless air mail con- tracts could be obtained.
 The Territorial Chamber dis patched it's message to Dimond last night after receiving a relpy from Peck. Need of the service to all points in Alaska and especially in the Southeast was stressed.
 Speed Urged
 The air mail bill recently passed by Congress at the request of Dele gate Dimond set aside the sum of s25,000 for the Postmaster General to enter into contracts for air mail service in the north. If action could be speeded up it is hoped that the plane service could be continued on regular schedule.
 The present plan calls for can ceiling of schedules, with one plane possibly operating on the Juneau Fairbanks route and a plane here for charter service into the South east. A
