The treasury es. timates, based on what seems the most likely exercise of option figures the direct ocst at approx mately $145,000,000 for 1923, 900.000 for 1924, $114,000,000 for 1925, $312,000,000 for 1926, making @ total of $795,000,000 for the first four years of its operation, and a total cost in excess of §4,000,000,- 000. No estimate of the large in- direct cost ever had been made. T certifipate plan sets up no re serve against the ultimate liability The plan avolds any considerable direct outlay by the government during the earlier years of the bill's Proposed operations, but the loans on the certificates would be floated on the credit of the nation. This is borrowing on the nation’s <redit just as truly as though loans were made by direct government borrowing and invokes a dangerous abuse of public credit. Moreover, the certificate plan of payment ts little leas than certified inability of the government to pay and invites & ‘practice on sacrificial barter ‘which T cannot sanction. PART THREE. “It is worth remembering that the public credit is founded on the in the defensibility of public expenditure as well as the government's ability to pay. Loans come from e¥ery rank in life, and our heavy tax burdens reach, di- reotly every. element tn our. citizen- ship. To add onesith of the total Sum of our public debt for a distri bution among less than five mil- lions out of one hundred and ten millions whether inspired by grate- ful sentiment or political expecr fency, would undermine the confi- dence on which our credit is build. ed, and establish the precedent of distributing public funds when- ever the proposal and the numbers affected make {t seem politically appealing to do #0. “Congress clearly appraised the danger of borrowing directly to fi- nance a bestowal which 1s without obligation and manifestly _recog- nized the financial problems with which the nation is confronted. Our maturing promises to pay within the current fiseal yeer amount to approximately $4,000,000,000, most of which will have to be refunded. Within the next six years more than $10,000,000 of debt will ma- ture and will have to be financed. Conunued on Page Four.) 291. HANDING VisrJiy SOLDIER BONUS COMPLETE TEXT OF PRESIDENT HARDINC’S MESSACE ON BONUS PURPOSE OF AGT ( OKEH, METHOD IN ERROR, SAYS MESOAGE TODAY Failure to Provide for Revenue Is Principal Objection Raised to Compensation Measure WASHINGTON, Sept. 19. —tThe soldiers’ bonus bill was | vetoed today by President | Harding. | In returning the measure to congress without his approval, the executive, in a message to the house, declared that he was in accord with the avowed purposes of the bill, but that he could not subscribe to its provisions. Outlining the reasons for his veto, |the president said that’ congress hud |failed, first of all, to provide the rev- jenue from whi the bestowal was |to be paif. He kdded that the ulti- |mate cost could not be estimated deti. \nitely, but that the treasury figured the total at $750,000,000 for the first four years with « final charge in ex- jcesn of $4,000,000,000. | a Mr. Herding told congress the pro- Posed service certificates substituted for the original cash’ payment would |constitute borrowing .on the nation’s credit just as truly as though the loans were made by direct govern- |ment borrowing. He added that this |“involves a dangerous abuse of pub [lie credit.” The executive declared that it was essential “to remember that a more jthan- $4,000,000,000 pledge to able |service men would not diminish the jeter obligation” which the veterans jootributed to “the rolls of the aged, jindignant and dependent." This. ob- Ugation, he satd, would cost more bil- lions than “I venture to sugges’ In the hpuse, where the leaders say more than the necessary two-thirds Will vote to pass the bill over the President's veto, a roll call was post poned until tomorrow noon on the motion of Representative Mondell, of Wyoming, the Republican leader. ~ ————.—__—.

TO PRESIDENT the claim of the Democratic leaders that the bill would erect a tariff wall around the United States, Senator Smoot of Utah, ranking Republican on the finance committee, declared in the senate debate today it would afford merely reasonable protection to Amer can industry and labor. He also de> nied that the bill’s rates wer. gener- ally higher than those of the-Payne- Aldrich act. Referring to the 31 cents a scoured pound raw wool rate, the Utah sena- ter declared this was lower than the duty in the emergency law and con® sequently would afford no valid ex: cuse for an increase in clothing prices: ‘Every cent of protection in this bill is open and’ above board,” he des clared. “There is not a bit of con: cealed protect in it of the kind that mac a of the Paynes | Aldrich hill obnox \o the Aamert: ican people.” t i y ™ Tr
