REPRESENTATIVE HULL SAYS
CRITICISM HEAPED UPON ACT
ENTIRELY UNTIMELY

Washington, June 16-Representa-

income tax law, in statement today
declared that after careful observa-
tlcn of the operation of the act he
feels mo reasonable doubt as to it's
successful administration and salts
factory yield of revenue in the fu-
ture. This belief was expressed de-
spite recent estimates by Secretary
McAdoo, which showed that the in
come tax, according to returns to
date had produced $23,000,00O less
than the Treasury Departments es-
Inmates of $54,000,O0O revenue from
that source for the first ten months
of its operation.
In his statement Representative
Hull says:
1T would be both harsh and un-
fair to pronounce permanent judg-
ment on the law at the present initial
stage. Many thousands of taxable
persons, both here and temporarily
abroad have not yet made returns
On account of the brief time allowed
In which to get familiar with the
laws and regulations. an immense
portion of the returns that were
made are inaccurate"
There is no occasion for a bond
issue, and the matter has not yet
been considered" Secretary McAdoo
