KITCHIN hTsEA
over BICDEF|C|T
Democratic Leader at Loss for
New, Taxes to, Relieve
Drain on Treasury.

The problem Of raising more revenue
to meet the ever-increasing expenses of
running the government, and to avert
nation bankruptcy. will be taken up this
week by the House Ways and Means
Committee.
Representative Kitchin. chairman of
the committee. said last night that means
Of raising funds to meet the threatened
Treasury deficit have not yet been
formulated. The deficit Is now $500 900. 900.
"All we know" said Representative
kitchin, is that we must raise more
money. We had to have special revenue
legislation last session. We face the
same problems this session and we prob
ably shall during the next Congress.
There can be no relief from the demands
for lncreased-legislation to raise revenue,
now that this country has been well
started on its preparedness program.
within five years time look for an
annual naval appropriation alone Of $500, :
100000. All OF these additional revenues
are necessitated by the mounting sums
appropriated for the army and navy"
Kitchin at Sea.
Representative Kitchin said he had no
plans of any sort to lay before the COM
mittee which win meet tomorrow. He
said that a subcommittee would probably
be appointed to sift out the mass of rev.
enue-raising suggestions which have been
submitted to the committee.
These suggestions take a wide range.
Representative Garner, of Texas, has pro-
posed that the present tariff rates be in
creased per cent all along the line, and
that all articles now on the free list be
taxed 10 per cent when imported. The
administration, fearing that such a plan
would be subject to possible criticism as
protective tariff" measure, has re-
jected this suggestion.
Opposition among members OF the
House has also eliminated several sug-
gested taxes The breakfast table" taxes,
such as proposed consumption taxes on
tea, coffee and sugar, meets with little
favor among the Representatives who
hear directly from back home" The pop
ular prejudice against stamp taxes has
aroused vigorous opposition to proposals
to raise revenue through that means. II
stamp tax can be devised that is not
annoying or burdensome, 1t Will find favor
with the committee.
A tax on raw wool has been suggested
but the high cost OF living has aroused
considerable opposition. Proposals to tax
the consumption OF raw rubber, and min
eral ores have some support in the COM
mittee.
Other revenue plans suggested include
a tax of per cent on business profits In
excess Of a dividend ss s per cent; further
Increases I'm the internal revenue tax on
beer and spSrjts; tax on the horse
powes of internal combustion engines. in
cluding automobile engines; increased in
come and inheritance taxes.
