ASSAILS WAR
REVENUE BILL

Sen. Thomas of Colorado, De-
CIareS Eight Billion Dollar
Tax Measure is Un-
constitutional.
International News Service:

International News Service:
WASHINGTON, Sept 23.-The
new revenue bill as passed by the
house was attacked as unconstitu-
tional by Sen. Thomas Of Colorado,
as a member of the senate finance
committee, in the senate this after
noon.
Thomas said the bill would have
TO be entirely rewritten in the
senate.
lie condemned the theory of the
making mathematical calculations
as 10 the amount of money TO be
raised by taxes in proportion to
bonds on the basis OF appropria-
tions. lie believed that the revenue
bill by attempting to impose S.
coo, 100000 in taxation would over
burden the productive agencies Of
the United States.
ITO over-burden these agencies is
10 cripple them" ne said, "and to
cripple them is TO invite disaster"
Cites Three Grounds.
Sen Thomas pronounced the
house bill unconstitutional in that:
G)-It proposes to tax presiden-
ti1l and judicial salaries
(2)-It proposes to tax state and
municipal bonds
(3)-It provides an alternate sys-
tenn Of war and excess profits taxes.
The constitutional provision
against taxing presidential and ju-
dicial salaries. Thomas said. was
written for the purpose of preserv-
ing the independence Of these Off
cials If any judge believed he was
unjustly taxed. he might be placed
in the position of hearing his own
case. he added.
Thomas cited several cases in
which states had attempted TO tax
federal property and each time had
been denied that right by the courts.
The power To tax is the power
20 destroy" Thomas said. "Ob-
viously no one sovereignty has the
right TO use this power against an
other sovereignty.
