 Must Have Taxes
 Earlier President Roosevelt nfl- nounced at his White House press conference that new taxes must be imposed to finance the farm pro- gram. He added that methods of financing the $2,0O0, 100000 bonus for ex-soldiers were still under study. That means q tax bill will have to be pushed through congress in an election year, q move always avoided by administrations if pos- sible. The tax bill also carried threats of c delay in congressional adjournment, perhaps beyond the political conventions in June.
 No decision was made on the sources of the new taxes but one method mentioned was increased income levies on small salaries.
 While Sen. James r. Byrnes, D., S. O., denied that the committee had taken imitation agitation Into con- sideration, house infiatlon blocs were rallying their forces today for q test on the issue if an opportunity wha presented.
 Deny Imitation BlOcs
 The committees procedure prob- ably would deny the imitation group an opportunity of coming to grips on the issue for the time being,
 The amount necessary for the farm program was $40, ,000, 900, al. though it was indicated this might be changed.
 Chairman Carter Glass of the ap- propriation committee said the billa would be reported tomorrow.
 They'll be ready for action any time the senate desires" he said. Previous to senate action house iri. fiationists carried their fight against possible bonus taxes to the floor with Rep. John Rankin, D., Miss, shouting prediction that it would take 100 years to balance tho budget through taxes"
 Rankin said money to pay thu bonus could be raised only by one oi two means, taxes or imitation.
 T know that members of the Lib. erty League want Us to levy a salei tax that would place this burden upon the people least able to pay he said. He urged, instead, that Tiew currency be issued against gold stocks of the country.
