Washington, Feb. lUAnj (fort to pay th soldier bonus through sconomles would to futlla. In tho opinion of Sen ator Wsrrsn of Wyoming, chairman M tho powerful Hntt appropriations com mittee. - ;.,'- Many mtmbcrs of the house hare urged that this be attempted. They would Ps tho' bonus bill without pro visions (or raising revonuo. and depend on reductions In the army, nary and other appropriation bills to supply the needed funds. But Warren pointed out that huge deficits already are In prospect for the ensuing fiscal year. Me agreed, further, with the statement of Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon that sources ot taxa tlon are drying- up and that presenta tion of accurate taxation estimates at present la next to Impossible. "It Is ridiculous to assume that enough money can be saved out" of the legiti mate sources of Internal revenue and customs to take care of the bonus," said Warren. The bonus problem In the house Is back where It was. The taxation sub committee of the ways and means com mittee Is to meet Tuesday again to seek an answer to the question of where funds are to be obtained. SALES TAX LOOMS VT Best Information Indicates that a lim ited manufacturers' sales tax will be applied to raise the greater portion of the $3,000,000,000 or 14.000.000,000 re quired for the first year's bonus. Economies would be counted on to supply a portion ot the funds not raised,! by taxtlon. There has been nothing bear agreement on this point, however. Leaders hope to report out a bill this week. It would go before a Republican conference which probably would .be held next Monday or soon after. It was thought that a conference might In dorse the sales tax. But this would not mean that - the tax would be ac repted on the floor of the house. Many Republicans would refuse to be bound by the conference and they would have the support of the Democrats. . Representatives from farming states are especially hostile to the sales tax idea. One of the Republican leaders told the writer not more than 100 Re' , publican votes, could be counted on in favor of the lax. This, he said, was an Increase of 2S per cent since the re ceipt of the letter of. President Harding, CIRCTLATE PETITIO.1 Middle Western representatives, who ar hostile to a sales tax, after a secret meeting Monday put In circulation petU tlons directed against the . tax. They were led by Representatives Frear of Wisconsin and Dickinson of Iowa. A score of signatures were obtained during the afternoon, - , Senator Caraway. Democrat of Ar kansas, attacked the majority for fall- arc to enact the bonus bill, in speech from the floor Monday. Hej read' a let ter, which he said was beinx sent out from the offloe of Representative Ham- ilton Fish Jr. of New York. The letter, according to the senator. said: ' "Have you any old clothes, stilts. overcoats, shirts, underwear, shoes' and so forth? The 'Lest We Torget com mlttee has requested me to ask you to leave, or send, your old clothes to SIS O street any time of the day for the next two months. The committee will undertake to clean and repair your old clothes and place them In the hands of ex-service men who are In need." PITIABLE SPECTACLE Caraway said: "In other. words, this great -party that was going to Oo jus tice to the soldier has finally come down to the pitiable spectacle of sending out letters and begging people to give dis carded .clothing for our ex-service men who are walking the streets and beg ging for places to work and something to eat" Senator Shields. Democrat of Ten nessee, made public a .letter he bad written to a constituent, telling why he was opposed to a bonus. .More taxes or Issuance ' ot bonds are impossible, Shields declared. "The sales tax," said Shields, "is the most unjust of all those proposed. Tt would operate to exempt wealth and fall heaviest upon the people of moderate means. Jt is easy to under stand the interest that is seeking the opportunity to have it Imposed with the hope of making it permanent in our taxing system."
