AGAINST NEW TAX MEASURE
McAdoo Proposal Holly Contested In
CONGRESS.

Washington, May 13.-If Secretary
w G McAdoo persists in his de-
mands for new tax bill at this ses-
sien OF congress, he will precipitate
cne Of the hottest fights in the his
tory OF that body and will delay ad-
iournment until late in the autumn
This was the threat of house and
senate leaders.
The opposition to the tax bill this
session is threefold, as follows:
Additional taxes now would serious
ly affect the moral Of the nation and
cause great confusion in the business
world
The revenue law pass I'd last season
probably will produce $1,000. 100000
more than was expected of it, and the
Third Liberty Loan will do likewise,
giving the treasury $4,000, ,0OO, 900
more than 1t counted on to bridge the
gap.
Taxes levied under a new bill now
would not be collectible any earlier
than II levied at the December ses-
sion.
