WASHINGTON, Jan, 20,—Raising of $1,600,000,000 in extra taxes in a period of thirty months has been de- termined on by Administration lead- «rs a8 a means of paying the sokder bonus before British debt bonds be- come available for that purpose. Taxes on gasoline, bank check, automobiles, increased postage and d sales tax on 100 selected articles are to provide the money, according to present plans. This plan has been worked out in recent conferences between President Harding and Senate leaders, Mean- time, every effort is to be centred on getting the Foreign Debt Funding Bill through. Leaders realize that no matter how strong the demand for @ bonus is from some of the 4,000,000 former service men, there are mil- lions of others to whom it will prove exceedingly unpopular when they have to pay taxes like those indicated. ‘The sooner thereforé that the funds for the bonus can be obtained from America’s European debtors the bet- ter it will be both economically and politically, party leaders hold, At a long party caucus yesterday Republicans amended the Funding Bill to provide that interest on the bonds into which the debt Is to be converted shall not be lower than the interest provided for in law authorising the loans. This 1s approximately 4 8-4 per cent. All other py to amend the bill were refeeted.
