Apppeals i for financial relief for former ser ! vice men, were countered today be 1 fore the hnuxe ways and means I committee, by statements that any i money grant, necessitating further ! bond iRHues would be an additional burden on tux payers. Representative Hull, democrat, of Tennessee, said f 800,000,0011 Increas ed taxes must be raised to meet present war expenditures without granting a cent to the service men.' "With a bonus we could be forced to establish the most oppressive sys tem of taxation In the world." he added. Members of Congress will not be blacklisted if they oppose additional soldier legislation, Kdwitrd If. Hale, j or tno veterans or rorelgn wars or tho I'nlted States, an organization of 760,000 men, told the committee, in reply to question by Representa tive Rainey, republican, of Illinois. !

Hainey asked, and Hale re plied ln the negative. ! Should all demands of all classes j of citizens tv government assistance ; be met, Rainey said "communism ' and bolshevlsm would be the Inevl- , table result.'" Representative darner, democrat, I of Texas, said a bond Ihsuh In the Immediate future would decrease 10 per cent tho market value of pres ent government obligations. "This alone would result. In an ac tual loss of $2,600,000,000 in the value of properly held by millions of people," he said. Mr. Hale said that approximately three-fourths of the service men neeeded "help to start them out ln civilian lifo." . Solution of the problem of raising the funds is for the ingenious minds of the committee members, Jack Singer, of Jersey City, senior com missioner of the association, de clared. "If financial aid Is within the pow er of your committee we want you to do It, but if It is not. we don't ask the impossible." Singer commented. A tax on all purchases, instead of a bond issue, was urged by J. H. Halper. of Minneapolis, representing the world war veterans, who had said he had been Illegally expelled from the executive committee of the private soldier and sailors legion. He described at length his dlTeren ces with Marvin dates Sperry, the national president. Following his expulsion, he said, he had formed the world war veterans. Answering Halper's charges, Sper- I ry said he "found Halper to be aj rank socialist" who intended to turn i over the private soldiers and sailors legion lo communist party.
