The house passed the soldiers bo nus bill today over the president’s veto. ihe vote was 258 to 54. or fifty more than the necessary two-thirds majority. Mr. Harding in vetoing the bill yesterday, set forth 4 number of reasons lor returning the bill to the house without his approval, fhese included: Reason- for Veto. Failure of congress to provide a means of financing. That inevitably the bonus would mean increased taxation. That the legislation would wipe out everything thus far accomplish ed to reduce government expendi tures wherever possible. That a peace bestowal on the cx serviee men was “a perversion of public funds" and suggested “that future defense is to be inspired by compensation rather than conscious ness of duty to flag and country.” That to add one-sixth of the total, sum of the. public debt for distribu tion among le. : than 5,000,000 of 110,000,000 people would undermine confidence on which the nation’s ; credit was builefed, and “establish. ‘ the precedent of distributing public i funds whenever the proposal and the ‘ numbers affected' make it seem po -1 litieally appealing to do so.” Would Mean Borrowing. That the $1,000,000,000 of ma turing public debt in the next six years would be difficult to meet without adding the complication of added borrowings on account of the bonus. That the adjusted certificates plan of payment with its banks and gov ernment loans was little less than a certified inability of the government to pay a “practice of sacrificial bar ter” by the veterans. That the bonus would not dimin ish the later obligation in the way of pensions to the World War vet erans.
