Passage of the wldlerV bonus bill would cost tlio government approximately $2,300,""", 000, Secretary Houston estimated today before the Senate finance committee considering the .soldiers aid mcosurc. The treasury scerctnry declared en actment of the bill meant an added bur den In the way of taxes, reiterating n statement made before the committer last week that the treasury ought not to be called upon to assume any addi tional burdens. , While Mr. Houston said It was Im possible to compute accurately the exact cost of each of the four optional aid plain, he believed the estimate sub mitted was substantially correct. Land settlement provisions of tho bill con tain so many uncertainties, ho added, that the cost entailed by tbcra could only be guessed at. Assuming thnt all of tho men xvould select one of the four optional plans, Mr. Houston estlinnted the cost of each of the plans ns follows : Adjusted serv ice pay, $1.3-12.000.000; Insurance pro visions, .s4,534.000.000 ; vocational training nld. 51, 880.000.000; farm and home development, $1,880,000,000. "Ajjatast a Wall," He Sajs As the plnns were optional, the sec retary paid the choice of the men would not be confined to nuy oue of them and allowing for the various selections he arrived nt his total estimated cost of $2,300,000,000. The treasury secretary professed to be "against a wall" ns to methods of obtaining revenue to meet the outlay that would be required If the bill were enacted. lie called the committee's at tention to the suggestions for new taxes contained in his annual report, but ex plained that these were mentioned only for the information of Congrrss and without any sort of recommendations. He did not attempt to dlcus.s the various tax suggestions, asking the com mittee to hear Dr. T. S. Adams, treas ury economist and tax expert, who gave n comprehensive resume of the tax sit uation, referring frequently to Secre tary Houston's discussion of the ques tion In his annual report. He declared the treasury was dally seeing new evi dence of n further drying up of revenue sources, adding thnt the task of com puting tax receipts was to that extent hecomlng more difficult. In addition to the difficulties thus confronting the treasury, Pr. Adams declared the Internal Revenue Bureau fared nnnthor problem In kppplng ex perts on the Job. He said the men who were capable didn't stay long. Resignation Cost U. S. Millions Senator Smoot said. "The real danger is that these men get training in the revenue bureau, then go out and help big firms evade tax payments." Dr. Adams said thot might be true to some extent, but that he knew "of one man who left the bureau a year ago whose resignation cost the gov ernment millions of dollars in uncol lected taxes, for he was an executive with nn expert knowledge of the work." The witness said this wat typical of the "lubor turnover," nnd that It dl rpptly affpeted the tax collections nnd would continue to have a more direct effect on such collections unless tax laws were simplified. Senator Smoot snld all those difficul ties could be avoided If n revenue law which "the nverage man con under stand" were passed by Congress. The committee adjourned without set ting u date for further hearings.
