Senator Spencer was declared to
have taken an ''unaut horized" view of
and to have spoken for himself and
rot for the committee. He was said
to have been admonished by Senator
Lodge for the statement.
It was also pointed out by Republi-
can leaders that Senator Spencer Is

HI. RICH WITH.
TAXES, ISPLEA
Labor Head Urges Congress
. Shift Burden From Working
Man as Fight Starts.
BY DAVID n. CHURCH.

Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon
having started the ball rolling with
his recommendations to Congress,
the tax revision fight is well under
way today.
w. H. Johnston, vice president of
the Peoples Reconstruction League
and head of the international Ma
chinists' Union, was one of the first
to take up his place in the front line
of the tax revision war.
(, URGES SHIFT TO RICH.
, Johnston today called upon Con-
gress to shift the burden of taxation
to the millionaires.
III Uncle Sam will tax American
millionaires as heavily on their
estates as he taxes American workers
on their dollars earned by hard daily
work. he will shortly be able to get
out OF debt" declared Johnston.
/ The average working man pays
nearly 81 varieties of taxes" said
Johnston, land these taxes take frori
s per cent to 10 per cent of his in
come. He has very little, IL anything,
left after paying his living costs and
taxes. for he pays the same rate a.
the millionaire.
ASKS UNEARNED WEALTH TAX.
1--WE have reached a point where
we must besin to tax unearned wealth
at least as heavily as we tax the
earned dollars of the workers and
the meagre savings. and even borrow
ings, OF the unemployed.
I'm 1918 there were about $4,000
millionaires In, the United States. They
own property today worth about $l3s,-
900 900. 900. or nearly ten times cur
net national debt, and over 81 per Gel mt
Of the national wealth. A heavy Fed
eral estate or transfer tax wo"ld
easily yield at least $4,000, 100000
within the next ten years and Con-
gress should promptly enact an estate
tax which will yield that amount.
IS WORTH s1eo.OOo.O
THE estate tax rates of the pres
ent revnue law yields only about
81 0O, 100000 a year. A person hav-
ing a net estate Of soc, 100000 pays
Federal estate tax of only $24,-
ISL, 900. or about "a per cent OF his
net estate, and can bequeath nearly
SIC, 100000. There are about sew
enty-fve persons worth 500, 900, 900
o. more. Those with such wealth
have been and are the benehciaries
OF some special privilege and should
be taxed heavily on their estates.
The concentration of wealth in this
country makes II unnecessary and
wicked to levy a sales or turn
over tax, or any tax upon con-
sumption"
DELUGE OF LETTERS COME.
Although Secretary Melons tax
proposals are only forty-eiRht hours
old, already there is a reaction to
bers of Congress.

old bomb thrower, old Tony LomaZzl,

probably clinging TO the bars OF his
door, his face thrust up against them

besides, the man did not talk loudly.
