Without intending it, incidentally, Mr. Mellon has stirred up the big- gest political upheaval since Mr. Coolidge took the oath of office. Po- litical Washington woke up today to find that telegrams from all parts of the country were pouring in com- mending Mr. Mellon for having pro- posed tax revision. Although opin- fons may differ as to just what the method of revision will be, the gen- eral idea of revising the revenue laws seems to have struck a popular chord—at least, that's the first im- pression. Now more than ever before are the officials of the administration anxlous to hear from the country. They want to know whether a bonus for the able-bodled ex-service men Is desired. The administration is paying out half & billlon dollars annually for the dis- abled soldiers and has pledged ftsclf without limit to their care and sup- port. Expects No Debt Payment. Some members of Congress think taxes could be reduced and a bonus also undertaken for the able-bodied. There would be no doubt about this, of course, if France, Italy and the other European powers who owe America vast sums would only begin paying interest on the war debt. Mr. Mellon is of the opinion that if the country wants a bonus for the able- bodied there must be an increase in- stead of decrease In taxation—and he isn't expecting any money from the European debtors. Practically, Mr. Mellon's sugges- tions have begun to overshadow all other fssues, including the world court and the participation of the United Btates in European affairs. Tax present an issue that can be thop. oughly understood by millions of voters, for Mr. Mellon has offered a concrete saving to the seven million persons and corporations who have handed In tax returns in previous years. ¥ Much will depend, of course, on what procedure is adopted in Con- gress. If the tax bill should get right of way, its passage would have an {mportant effect on bonus legis. lation later on. Reports lately from American Legion quarters have been to the effect that the legion would concentrate its attention first on the revision of the present laws relating to the managefent of the Veterans' Bureau an investigation of which by a senatorial committee now is in progress. Congress as a rule makes its own rules of priority, and until the mem- bers reassemble X fortnight ~“hence the probabliities in the situation will not become clear. . Time is Opportuse, - Mr. Mellon selected the present as &n opportune’ moment to project his ideas before thé American people be- cause members of Congress are all “back home" getting in touch with their constituencies. They will have &n opportunity to judge at first hand what the people think of the pub- lished m.onfn Mr. Coolidge would like to see the Mellon plan taken up and acted upon; subject, of course, to the many changes which are inevi- table when Congress begins debating to | ls revenue measure. In his message cember will have an opportunit; indicate the general principles of tax revislon. to Congress the President in His predecessor, Mr. Hard- ing, was very much impsressed with the benefits that might te derived and leaned toward tax.revision, but hesitated because of the political dis- advantages of trying to revise the tax, bill_ with a_Con the radicals hold the er.
