ve a i rlty 1. 0y CARTER FUXL Washington. The - question ..of sew taxes, often hinted, tbougb . never given mocb official notice, le Tight on top of the heap again at . a result of the bonus situation. Every one on the Inside In Wash ington, ' providing bit vision waa not distorted by what he. wanted. Instead of what cold reason would , demonstrate, has known far some time that some form of bonui legis lation would pass and that its .1 passage, antes the whole Roosevelt formula waa to be aet aside, would necessitate additional taxes. In the President's mind, the bo nus Is on all foura with the cotton processing tax. ; - , U "Where would the money come fromr his question to Mew England and southern demands for repeal of tne cotton tax, applies equally to the drain on the treasury that a bonus compromise : would -make.- ' The only change In the sltuaUon Is that the probability now Is the compromise will result in taking sev eral Hundred million dollars more out of the treasury' than bad. been fig- urea up to a few weeks ago. For ex ample. It baa been known for some time that,, despite the President's Mews about the bonus, he would he glad to compromise for some thing like 1L200.000.000. But the prospect today Is that It - will take at least $1,500,000,000 to turn the trick. . ' Incidentally the President put a powerful lever In the hands of the bonus advocates In Insisting on a larger amount when he discussed that Idea of $750 Invested now Id a government bond amounting' to 11,000 by 1949. If be had used the legal bank rate of Interest, 6 per cent, In calculating the "present value" of the bonus certificates, be could have said $500. Actually a little less." Low Interest Rates ' It is the first time that the low Interest rates the government has been moving heaven and earth to .bring about have worked against the federal treasury Instead of for It Over a stretch of ten yeara a . difference of 1 per cent in Inter est makes a great deal of difference, especially If the difference is com pounded, as It Is In the illustration the President used. The sixth grade arithmetics used to tell us that money at 6 per cent doubles ' Itself In 12 years, compounded. It Is not definitely known just what the administration will recom mend In the way of new taxes. , .Congress leans heavily to heavy in heritance taxes. This fits Jn with the Roosevelt policy of whittling away at Inherited fortunes. It Is In tune with heavy income taxes, re , duced ' Interest on investments, smaller profits for business, etc. I In fact It is almost a necessary part of New Deal philosophy. For granted that the Roosevelt program for small profits, etc., would work, the whole tendency would be to freeze existing conditions, prevent ive uy uew loriuoes iron) oeing created, but by the safety thrown around existing enterprises, tending also to preserve existing fortunes. Assuming they were big enough to stand losses in certain directions utility earnings, for example. So It appears likely that heavier Inheritance taxes will be one of the surest factors In the new tax program. Under consideration, also, though with no formal blessing as yet from the White House, Is the pro posed tax on life Insurance pre miums. This would be 1 per cent but would be paid by the com panies direct Policy holders of course would really pay it for their dividends and' policy reduc tions would naturally be less. There ; Is plenty of political dynamite In 'this one. Even more protests would be caused by another tax under con sideration by the treasury experts. This would reduce the present ex- ' emptlon of 40 cents on movie admls- : slon to 10 cents 1 Real "Drive" Possible If three thousand farmers Just happen to decide to pay a visit to Washington, enjoy the sights, tell mnnwu to nan tho ArrlralHiral Adjustment administration amend ' ments, and listen to a speech by .we rresiaeot, witn no organisation to stir them up, no one to pay their expenses the whole thing Just out of a blue sky, so to speak what nay happen when there is really a ."driver "Washington may see the answer. For sooner or later there Is go ing to be a serious move to re duce, or maybe eliminate, these ben efit payments. Already there Is a strong conviction and those who bold It are getting reinforcements all the time that the whole system of benefits Is wrong. Wrong In that In tne long run It Is not a good thing for the farmers themselves. ,. a Then there la another large group who want to curtail" or eliminate the benefits for an entirely differ ent reason. -This group , does not think the ' treasury can , stand the ' train Indefinitely. Or, ; to put It another way, that the taxpayers (for' the benefits are paid nut of proc essing taxes) cannot stand the strain.'" ''" ''"" ' ' Put the two groups together and jot have a pretty fair nucleus. It illment ( not ! uld be a real march ) by the embattled Those who have considered the whole, problem gay that Is very un likely prior to election. They say the President would never dare to attempt" to cut off the farmers' payments until the re-election la aafely achieved: ' . ; That, naturally, Is Just opinion. it la the ordinary mental process oi a politician one who knows that Franklin D. Roosevelt is also a poli tician, and who cannot conceive his doing anything so unpollUc as kick- Ing a lot of perfectly good voters in the face just on the eve oi tneir going to the polls, Doubtful Logic They may be right and they may be wrong. But it was the same sort of logic that led many allegedly astute political minds to assume that the President would not veto the bonus bill. Including Huey Long. Including Father Conghlin. Including many others, so that maybe this logic cannot be taken at Its face value. It might be said that the two things are very different That ve toing a bonus bill never yet has hurt a President It certainly did not hurt Coolldge. There Is grave doubt that It hurt Hoover, although difficult to prove. Most veterans who happen also to be politicians will tell you privately that Hoover was hurt a great deal more by his handling of . the bonus .' marchers than by his veto of the bonus bin. But the present situation . pre sents the sort of thing that has sel dom been tested, It la not a case of refusing to try a scheme about which there Is violent difference of opinion, aucb aa the equalization fee Idea of the McNary-Haugen bill. It la a case of cutting off money pay ments, which were already being celved by a large class. And that might be difficult 1 Different Story .Lots of water baa flowed down stream since the good old days when both bouse and senate rushed through the administration's secur ity and stock exchange regulation bllL That measure, drafted by two of Felix Frankfurter's boys, Cohen and Landis, was put through In the early days-when President Roose velt's wishes did not have to be ex pressed by the king himself to be come a law. The word of any of his ministers, or his lieutenants, was enough. And everybody knew that Frankfurter's 'boys were dose to the throne. But what a different story bowl Which does not mean the bonus that-always was Outside the ordi nary orbit of administration pro gram material. Nor the World court. Nor the St Lawrence seaway If and when It comes up: . No, the difference shows up on Just the ordinary run of the mine, so to speak, legislation. ' And the answer la two fold. ' First the legislators on Capitol Hill have discovered that the king's ministers may be very powerful for a time, but their time' Is apt to be short Douglas is gone lives In outer darkness, v Not forgotten far from It but Just out of the picture. Hngh Johnson is out still praising the "Chief," but kicking the shins of the king's ministers vigorously. Though of course loyalty always had lain to the king, not the king's min isters. The most . loyal - subject could always deplore' the folly of the king's advisers. That' haa been true since the dawn of history. It Is not a development of the Roose velt administration. Now the most powerful minister in Washington is not very frighten ing to the bad boys on Capitol Hill If they think he is apt to be out Of the picture say six months hence, That's tha VflV nn1IHC ! . fThmfr That's the way politics is. '" There is no use trying to please anybody who won't be arobnd to return the favor later on. Especially If pleas ing this personMn temporary author ity means irritating ' folks ' back borne who Just may remember It on election day. r The most Impos ing figure' loses ' lmpressiveness If the pedestal is noticed to be won bly. And the national' legislators have come to the conclusion that there Is not a single Arm founda tion under a single, one of Roose velt's present advisers.' May SUU Be Around . This la probably a very jaundiced view on their part r It may be that, lots of them -Will be around, and powerful, a year hence. .

But there Is a- certain lame duck suspicion attached to all the brain trnster;;iJ,;;V,1;;".:;i...; .;. Then there Is another reason. In the early day of tbe Roosevelt .ad ministration the Jobs done In draft ing legislation were very workman like Indeed. As, for example, the aforementioned . Cohen ', and Landis Securities and stock exchange reg ulation bllL Whether one approved the Ideas behind tbe measure or hot there was no discounting the skill with which the precise intent o the framers was spread on the statute books. . 1 . i '.X:',?1 .
