Congress Oversteps In Veto Override And Tax Debate
Congress overrides the presidential veto repassing the soldier bonus bill. The piece argues tax relief is unlikely as treasury costs rise. It notes the bonus plan would cost at least 114 million annually plus clerical costs for 7 million veterans and a potential 2.5 billion bond issue in 20 years. President Coolidge warned tax reductions are needed and public opinion favors curtailing government expenses. The author says Congress ignores welfare in pursuing popular sentiment.
