FINAL DRAFT OF BONUS BILL OUT / Vl ays and Means Committee Puts Finishing Touches on Measure. PRESIDENT IS DISPLEASED < Serve* Warning Upon Congress That Soldier Bonus Act Must Carry Sales tion Among Leaders. Washington, March 9. —President Harding served warning upon congress that the soldier bonus bill must carry the sales lax. There was a strong Intimation that the insurance certificate plan, or any other form of a bonus measure that does not Include the sales tax, win be vetoed If it reaches the White House. The White House announcement, coming on thg heels of' an .agreement among Republican lenders in the bouse to force the passage of the insurance certificate plan, threw the bonus and sales tax opponents at the capltol Into consternation. The program that had been carefully worked out by Republican House Leader Mondell, Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee. Chairman Campbell of the house rules committee ar.d other influential leaders, to defeat Che bonus by forcing the certificate scheme through the nouse, was halted. The bonus opponents are without a program, and it is probable that the ways and means committee will reconsider the whole bonus problem before permitting the bill to be considered by the house. Here Is' the text of the'bank loan provision of the compromise soldiers’ bonus bill:

“(A) That a loan may be made to any veteran prior to September 30, 3925, upon his adjusted service certificate only in accordance with the provisions of this section. “(B) Any national bank, or any bank oh trust company Incorporated under the laws of any state, territory, possession or District of Columbia (hereafter in this section called ‘bank’) is authorized to lend to any veteran upon his promissory note secured by his adjusted service certificate (with or without the consent of the beneficiary thereof) any amount not In excess of SO per cent of its load basis (as defined in subdivision F of this section), such loan to mature on or before September 30, 1925. The rate of interest charged upon the loan by the bank shall not exceed by more than 2 per cent per annum the rate charged at the date of the loan. “(C) In case of the veteran's death after expiration of the six months after the maturity of the ’oan qr in the case of his death after September 30, 1925, such difference shall be paid to the beneficiary under certificate, except that if such beneficiary dies before the veteran, and no new beneficiary is named, or if the beneficiary in the first instance lias not yet been named, then the payment shall be made to the estate of the veteran. principal is 'due. the amount of the unpaid principal and the unpaid interest accrued up to the date of his death shall be immediately due and payable. “(E) When any loan is In default, the hank shall, within 30 days thereafter notify the secretary of the treasury of the facts relative to the note, the name of the veteran and the numi ber of his certificate. "(F) The loan basis of any certificate at any time shall, for the purposes of this section, be the amount of the adjusted service credit, plus interest thereon from October 1, 1922. to such time, at the rate of 4A4 per cent per annum, compounded annually. "(G) No payment upon any note shall be made under this sect loir by the secretary of the treasury to any bank, unless the note, when presented to him, is accompanied by an affidavit made by an officer of the bank before A notary public or other officer designated for the purpose by regulation of the secretary, ifnd stating that the bank has not charged or collected, or attempted to charge or collect, directly or Indirectly, any fee or other eom- ' pensation (except interest as'authorized by this section), In respect to or because of any loan made under this section by the bank to a veteran.” BROKERS OWE $5,000,000 Kriebel 4 Cos. *f Chicago is Thrown Into Bankruptcy by Federal Judge.

Business Methods.

XIV. THIS WAS YOUR MONEY Consider for a moment, if you will, some further figures. This is your money I am talking about. For every fiscal year from 1866 to 1893, Inclusive, there was a surplus of receipts over expenditures. During this period of 28 years the surplus of receipts over expenditures totaled sl,820,205,013,41. For the fiscal years 1594 to 1899, Inriusive, the expenditures exceeded the receipts in the aggregate of $283,022,991.14. For the fiscal years 1900 to 1904, inclusive, the surplus of receipts over expenditures aggregated $310,819,165.04. For 1905 the expenditures exceeded the receipts by $78,776,082.30. For the years 1910 to 1914, Inclusive, the receipts exceeded the expenditures by $149,024,404.27. For 1915 the expenditures exceeded the receipts by $33,488,931:53. For 1916 the receipts exceeded the expenditures by $55,171,553.59, and for 1917 there was a deficit of $29,724,864,73. From 1866 to 1917, inclusive, the reexceeded the expenditures for each year with the exception of 1894, 1895, 1896, 1897, 1898, 1899, 1905, 1908, 1909, 1915 and 1917. The total amount by which the expenditures exceeded the receipts for these 11 years just named, is $443,766,744.70, For the 52 fiscal years, 1866 to 19ft, inclusive, the receipts exceeded the expenditures in 41 years, the total of such excess for that period being $2,591,453,184.16. For the fiscal years 1866 to 1910, the revenues were raised through an indirect system of taxation. Beginning with the fiscal year enjling June 30, 1910, the receipts from direct methods of taxation have usually grown each fiscal year, as will be seen by the following table: 1810—Corporation tax $ 20.951,780.97 1911— Corporation tax 33,516,976.59 1912 Corporation tax 25,583,303.T3 1913 Corporation tax 36,906.299.84 1914 Corporation excise tax. 10,671,077.22 1914—Corporation income tax 82,466,66267 1914 Individual Income tax.. 25.263.534.55 1915 Emergency revenue 5%069.196.29 1915—Corporation Income tax 39.156,696.77 1915 Individual income tax.. 41,046,162.09 1916 Emergency revenue 84.278,302.13 1918—Corporation Income tax 56,993,667.98 1916 Individual income tax.. #7,943.594.68 1917 — Emergency revenue.— 96,297.553.88 1917—Corporation Income tax 179,572.887.86 1917 Individual Income tax.. 190,108,340.10 1918— Income and excess profits tax 2,838.999,194.28 1919 Income and excess profits tax 2.696,008,702.70 Tlje number of corporations mak-

REMEDY IN YOUR HANDS

I have been asked many times, and particularly since this series began: “VVliat Is the,remedy for the condition and situation of government business that you have described? What can we, the average man or woman without Influence, and with no knowledge of politics, what can we do about it?” Well, the answer is* that yod can do everything about it The remedy lies wholly within your own hands, as I have tried to point out in each one of the articles that have preceded this one. It Is a remedy easy to prescribe but, I confess, difficult to put Into effect Difficult, I mean, in the sense that you will have to give up time from your own engrossing private affairs to pay some to what you probably think of as public affairs and, as such, not concerning you. The whole point I have to make' is that public affairs are your affairs. I do not suggest that you go into polities. I do not Suggest that you attend political meetings. I do suggest that ylla- take an interest, a direct personal interest, in the business of government as distinguished frpm the politics of government. A part of the remedy you ask for the conduct of the business of government has been applied when the facts and the conditions are spread broadcast and made known to every tax* payer. Bad conditions are in a way to be remedied when they become known. But some hundreds of you have written me and asked: "How con we help? What can we do?” Let’s take a concrete case. ? Congress has committed Itself to the policy of building twenty first-class battleships in the next few years. Armed and equipped, those battleships will cost in the neighborhood of $45.000,000 each. That will make a total cost of $900,000,000; that is, Just short of a billion dollars. “ Do you approve that expenditure? •Do you thtnk tt wise find necessary? Do you think we ought to spend our money that way? Do you think we ought to spend 80 or 90 per cent of our total national income for wars, past, present and prospective? That Is what we are doing. 4f you'approve of it you have-only to sit still and say -nothing. If you disapprove of It, let your congressman know. You live in a congressional district and every two years you send a man here to Washington to attend to your public business. Do you know him? Do you know what he Is doing here? Tour state has two senators, who also represent you here. If they do hot

tng Income tax returns showing faxable Income, aggregated 52,498 In the calendar year 1909, and that number Increased to 232,07 H for the calendnr year 1917. The number of individuals making personal Income tax returns aggregated 357,598 for the calendar year 1913, and theft number Increased to 3,472,890 for the calendar year 1917. For the fiscal year 1909 the totnl ordinary receipts aggregated $603,589,489.84, of which $300,711,933.95 came from customs duties, $246,212,643.59 came from Internal revenue, and the balance was received from the sale of public lands ants other miscellaneous items; whereas, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1919, the total receipts from customs amounted to $184,457,867.39, while the internal revenue, Including, Income taxes and corporation and excess profits taxes, amounted to $3,839,950,612.05. So you will see that until 1910 the money you paid toward the support of the government was slipped away from you so easily that you hardly knew anything about it. You did not know that you were paying taxes to the national government. Indirect taxation is the most seductive form of raising public- revenue. Y’ou never came In contact with the federal government except when you bought a postage stamp. But now you know it eveiy time you buy a drink at a soda fountain, or a bottle of medicine, or sand a teleggnm, or make a long-distance telephone call, or perform any one of a score of other normal activities of daily life. thing mfctjhe put In the kitty for the government. Its annual rakeoff rung into the billions. You pay it and the government spends it. But all that part of the party is about over now. The oysters have been eaten and put in the bill. They must be paid for. It is perfectly clear that in the future by far the greater part of the revenue required for conducting the public business must come from direct taxes. It is also clear that the ordinary expenses for running the government will in_ future probably exceed four billion dollars a year. That is a lot of money to take out of your pockets, and mine. Hadn’t we better see what is done with It, and whether we can save any of it? Congress, which is very far-sighted, and able, when its Own skin is Concerned, to distinguish a hawk from a hand saw at a very great distance, is b ginning to take notice

represent you fairly, you can keep them at home. Whatever a majority of you want you can nave. To this moment a majority have approved, at least by silence, the great military expenditures that have been made from the money you have paid in taxes. If now you have come to the conclusion that it is too much, you have only to say so. Do you realize that this conference on the limitation of armament which President Harding called arose fundamentally out of the circumstance that all t>f the so-cdiled big nations are paying more than they can afford to pay by way of preparation for war? The endeavor to find a formula to limit armaments is another way of saying that the nations are trying to find a way to save money. Since the war JJie great powers are all living beyorTd their means. All of them are in debt. All of them, except ourselves, owe more than they can pay. In all of them, including the United States, government expenses are running beyond government income. A nation can no more stand that sort of thing than a private person or a private business. If you will devote a half hour or an hour every "evening to thinking nbout and talking about public business you will be amazed at the prompt response yftu will get If there is any question you want to ask, write To your congressman or to either one of your senators. That will cost you two cents for a postage stamp, and It won’t cost him anything to reply, for his letters go through the malls free. Thutt is one way of helping to remedy the present condition.
