HUNTS'M WASHINGTON gfiiiiiq} LETTEK-*’ s BONUS HITS TAX HOPES j BY HARRY B. HUNT NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, May 27.—-The action of Congress in over-riding the president’s veto on the bonus is believed to have made more cer tain a veto on the tax bill when it is finally ‘submitted to tne White House. For one thing, enactment of tno ' bonus makes necessary the raising of $144,000,000 in 1925 whicn would not have been needed had the presidential veto stood. The rates in the revenue.,bill, as it finally will be presented, will be substantially the Democratic rates, which both Mellon and Coolidge have opposed as unscientific and in adequate. Jamming through the bonus, therefore, against his wish, gives the president a plausible basil tor rejecting the tax bill on the ground the new rates wdl not raise enough cash to meet other necessary expenses of the government and also provide the money for the bonus. • • • I More than the expense of the bonus, however, is troubling ad ministration chiefs, with respect to the new revenue measure. There is a growing doubt as to the permanence of the present na tional income. With business pros perous, wages and salaries high, a reduced rate on income taxes might easily be possible, even after pro viding for a bonus. But there has developed during the past two months a distinct slow ing up in many lines of industry. I This may mean merely that business proposes to move cautiously, as is often the case during presidential campaign years, or it may mean tha-; we are approaching another definite step or readjustment in the process of getting back to normalcy. • * • The president’s advisers feel that, in a popular way, he, thrives on ve toes; that the people like the way he throws legislation lie does not like back into the face of Congress. The public, however, has had its appetite whetted for a reduction in its tax bill, and undoubtedly will de mand somebody’s official head if the reduction is not forthcoming. Should Coolidge veto the tax bill, would the failure for tax reduction be placed on him, or would it be placed on Congress for giving him a bill he felt obliged to veto? That’s the puzzling question! To date the president’s followers have been able to shoulder onto Con gross tthe blame' for friction be tween White House and capitol. Tbe president has advanced his position by trampling Congress under foot. But a veto on the tax bill threatens to cause a tumble. It’s a slippery, uncertain ,uncomfortable situation.
