(@Bpecial Staff Correspondent of The { Evening World.) ‘WASHINGTON, April 5.—Congress % about to perpetrate, in the passage @t the bonus bill, one of the boldest political tricks in the history of the Republic. The widespread effect of \ this legislation is not apparent to the i averase citizen. f It vot only involves an outlay of at di least $2,000,000,000, to be obtained by the levy of taxes, but it promises to mallity el! efforts to in from Con- Sreag measures of relief from condi- fons which have aroused orvwmt all ever the country. And the latter ob- ject i more sought after by the prac- tical politicians back of the measure than the professed purpose of the bill. Here is the outlook for the tax- payer as seen through the Soldiers’ Compensation Act. / Immediate increase in taxation, through the medium of a tax on , sales, aggregating $2,000,000,000. Dropping of all constructive } plans to reduce current taxation. Opening the door to further 1 amending legislation fathered by practical politicians for the con- trol of votes through measures estensibly benefiting veterans of the World War. Building up of a new Govern- ment bureau to handle the ac- counts of and make the disburse- ments to the approximately 5,000, 4 000 men who will be entitled to payments under the act. Increase in the number of em- ployees in the Bureau of Internal Revenue to handle the new taxes. Ultimate increase in taxation to the extent of hundreds of mill. ions of dollars yearly for the } maintenance of the new buregus i made necessary by soldiers’ re- i fief measures.

WASHINGTON, April 5.—The House Ways and Means Committee to-day decided to ask the Treasury Department for estimates as to the amount of money that can be raised bby taxes on gales, considered the only way by which revenue for a soldier ‘onus can be obtained. The amounts Uniden tive tonsto plans suggested, range from $1,000,- 000,000 to $5,000,000,000, The pjan most favored calls for a tax of one Per cent. on all sales under $500 and five per cent. on sales above that amount, with the exception of real} estate transactions, which would be | taxed at the rate of one-half of one per cent. Because af the difficulty the Treas- ury is now experiencing in selling certificates of indebtedness in antici- pation of revenue from taxes coming several months later, it is probable that the payment of the proposed bonus will have to ‘be delayed until late this year or until the money from increased taxes is actually in the ‘Treasury, members of the committee said. The memberships of the five sub- committees of the Ways and Means Committee to consider the various Proposals for soldier aid were an- nounced by Chairman Fordney, Michigan. ’ Foriney is Chairman of the eub- committee on a cash bonus, which also is to frame the legislation neces- sary to raise the revenue. Other mombers are Green, Iowa, and Long- worth, Oblo, Republicans, and Kitchin, North Carolina, and Rainey, Illinois, Democrats, Chairmen of the other sub-commit- tees are Pawley, Oregon, land eettle- ment; Copeley, Tilinols, aid in buying homes; Young, North Dakota, voca- tional training; Treadway, Massa- chusetts, war risk insurance and mis- cellaneous proposals.
