Treasury chief opposes Fordney plan and hints tax rise
Secretary Mellon urged the House Ways and Means Committee that an extra tax to yield 50 million over two years would be needed for initial payments of a proposed 400 million cash bonus to Forme service men. He condemned Fordney’s plan to fund the bonus from proceeds of refinanced foreign war debts. He urged using debt payments to retire Liberty bonds. Still, lawmakers moved to start the bonus bill in the House and pressed for immediate passage. Mellon’s warning spurred a revival of talk of a sales tax even as Fordney clings to the foreign debt plan.
