OVER PROHIBITION
Democratic Leaders Hope to
Have Nothing In Platform on
Liquor Question.

The time is soon to come when the
Democratic party In convention as
sembled must take a position on the
question OF prohibition either by
platform declaration or by the noml-
nation of a candidate whose indiyid-
ual record Is one or liberality or Is
the reverse,
Democratic leaders understand tha'
the issue must be met In one form OF
another, and they are giving thought
70 the policy which the party should
adopt. For days there has been dis
cussion OF the program, but up TO this
hour there Is agreement upon no
single phase OF the question. says j.
Fred Essary in a Washington dis
patch to the Baltimore Sun.
1t can be stated with some sense OF
certainty, however, that a majority OF
the party leaders feel that the san
Francisco platform should remain ST.
lent upon prohibition. and II Is the
purpose OF many OF the more import
ant party factors to fight against
a platform commitment one way or
the other.

large measure for the high cost of liv-
ing industrial and economic disloca-

II always favored a progressive in
come tax" said Mr.. Kahn, '.and would
not advocate any scheme of taxation,
which would spare wealth. The upper
scale of our surtaxes is, however, so
extreme that it has defeated its own
purpose by driving capital into tax
exempt securities The result is that
our investment market has largely
ceased to function. which fact is in
considerable part responsible for our
present strained money and credit po-
sition and is a menace both to our
domestic and foreign trade"
Mr.. Kahn declared the only hope
of the necessary financing of Europe
industry lay with private capital and
that unless the present surtaxes were
removed, private capital could not
provide the funds. He characterized
as "a delusion" the current belief that
mere ratification of the peace treaty
by the United States would set in mo-
ton n free flow of American credits
to Europe. Discussing the proposal
for a tax on purchases, Mr.. Kahn re-

He expressed the belief that such a
tax would produce sufficient revenue
to permit abolition of the income tax
on incomes under $4,000 a year.
