Government's Present Sources of
Income 'Fast Declining, Says
Secretary; Money Is Needed
THE MOUSING OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1920
IS
BILLION
OPPOSED
BY HOUSTON
TTASHINGTOK, Dec. 2T. Approxi
mately $2,300,000,000 was the estimate
submitted today by Secretary Hous
ton of the treasury department as the
coat of carrying out provisions of the
old'ers' bonus bill.
The secretary presented his esti
mate to the senate finance commit
tee without comment other than to
nrge that do legislation be enacted
which would lay an additional bur
den on the nation's finances.
The estimate was accompanied by
figures showing; the -cost of -carrying
out any one of the five optional pro
visions of the bonus bill provided aTl
former service men chose a single
plan. The figures for- the various
plans ranged from $1,342,000,000 for
the adjusted pay provisions to $4,534,-
00,000 for the insurance provision.
Fifth Flam Can't Be Estimated.
The maximum possible cost of the
vocational training aid and the farm
and home development plans were
placed at $1,880,000,000 each, while
the secretary said the fifth proposi
tion, a plan for land settlement, held
so many uncertainties that it was
Impossible to estimate the possible
expenditure.
Submission of the estimated total
eost made an apparent Impression
npon members of the committee
which is considering the bonus bill
as passed by the house at the last
session.
Members declined to forecast the
decision of the committee on the
question of reporting out the meas
ure, but it was recalled that Senator
McCumber, republican, of North Da
kota, atated at the opening of hear
ings on the bill that Its passage
would depend largely on the state of
government finances and that Mr.
Houston had testified the treasury
with normal expenditures would have
a deficit of $2,100,000,000 for the year
ending next June 30, and a deficit
of $1,500,000,000 for the following 12
months.
lfew Taxes Suggested.
During Mr. Houston's testimony It
became increasingly evident that the
present treasury administration does
not desire either to advise, or recom
mend with respect to legislation pro
viding for greater governmental ex
penditures. The secretary made plain
to the committee bis thought in sub
mitting a list of possible sources of
new taxes in his annual report, say
ing they were for the information of
congress and were in no sense more
than suggestions.
Kelterating his opposition to re
vival of the war finance corporation.
Mr. Houston declared the present
sources of revenue were fast declin
ing and added that he knew not where
the money was to come from to meet
the bonus payment should the bill be
enacted into law.
He avoided discussing the addi
tional taxes carried in the bill and
designed to meet its needs, refer
ring- the committee first to the survey
of the taxation problem In his an
nual report and explaining he was
unable even to prescribe ways of
raising revenue for the current needs
without readjusting and revising the
present tax laws to produce more
money.
Dr. T. S. Adams, treasury econo
mist and tax expert, at the suggestion
of Mr. Houston, gave the committee
a complete statement of revenue ob
tainable from the various taxes sug
gested to congress in Mr. Houston's
annual report. He pointed to many
new sources which might be utilised
but explained that much 'of the ques
tion of raising a tax levy centered
first in the determination of a rev
enue policy . which eBly congress
could provide.
Dr. Adams also suggested that one
or the greatest needs was a eimnli-
fication of the revenue laws, a stater
ment concurred in by Senator Smaot,
republican of Utah, wbo said there
was an evident need for enactment
of tax laws "which the average man
can understand.
