PLANS $3,0(Q,o)Q
i. S. BANKING HOME
Proposal to Build Federal Re.
serve Headquarters Here
in House Bill.

The proposal to build a $4,000 900
home for the Federal Reserve Board
here in Washington is found in one
sectlon OF the bill now being consid-
ered by the House committee on
banking and currency, which would
abolish the office of controller of
the currency and create an undersec-
tary of the Treasury who. by virtue
OF ms ONCE. would be a member of
the Federal Reserve Board
Inc plan is to pay for this pro-
posed new structure out of the earn
ingS OF the federal reserve system
and II" appropriation is asked The
arguments presented before the
House committee" in favor IF such "A
buildlnG ar" that it is costing tn"
government at least a quarter of a
million dollars for rental in outside
buildings, due to the fact that the
federal reserve system has not only
been CrOwding out other activities in
tn" Treasury building, but itself oc-
cuples some rented quarters The
fedora farm loan system has just
been forced to take quarters in the
old land office building.
The committee has tentatively
passed over this section. with indi-
cations that it will not be in the
bill when reported out of commit
tee. Chairman McFadden SAID to-
day, however. that if the housing of
the Federal Reserve Board by the
Treasury is costing more than a quar-
ter OF a million dollars. that fact
alone would justify the erection of
a separate building for this board
He expressed the personal opinion
that the Federal Reserve Board has
authority now. if it wishes to exer-
else it. to build a home for itself out
of its earnings.

SUBMITS NEW PLAN
. FOR LEVY|NG TAXES
Detroit Man Proposes Sales
Revenue and Greater Ex-
emption of Incomes.

An entirely new basis for levyinE
national taxes with exemptions on
personal incomes substantially raised
was submitted to the Senate finance
committee today by c. B. Clark OF
Detroit. who said he spoke for the
National Retail Drygoods Association,
the National Association Of Retail
Clothiers. the National Retail shoe
Dealers Association and the National
Garment Retailers Association.
Three Clnsses of Incomes.
Concretcly the plan would divide all
incomes into three classes and they.
with the aid Of Il sales tax, would
carry practically the entire revenue
burdens Mr.. Clark proposed raising
the exemptions on personal incomes
from the present $1,000 for single
persons to $2.500, and from 5000 Tor
married persons, I" $1,000. WIN an
additional $500 exemption for each
child or dependent. instead of tn"
present 5000 The witness also would
lower the higher rates on income
5urtaXeS.
plan Divides Incomes.
Mr.. Clark's plan divides all incomes,
roughly, as follows: Cd Income from
salaries and wages, t2) income from all
business, individual partnership or cor
pOration. and t3) all other income whlcn
cnlt1lN WOuiu Dt uuediDtb' 'h'' '$i-N >"
higher. On salaries and wages the tax
proposed is a normal rate of per cent
on the first 81 900 above the exemption
and per cent on the remainder. Ihe
second class would be taxed 10 per cent
with an exemption of $1,000. \ normal
tax of 10 per cent is proposed for the
third division. with SurtaXes ranging
from l per cent on incomes between
$50 900 and 900 up to per cent on
incomes of $500, ,00) or more.
Attacks Sales Tax.
Declaring the sales tax bill "one of
the most iniquitouS impoSt measures
ever devised" Walter w. Liggett, rep
resenting the committee of manufac-
turers and merchants on federal tax
atio1N and the Farmers Federal Tax
League Of America. protested the pas
sage of the Smoot bill and urged a
land values tax as a substitute.
Mr. Liggett asserted that while the
sales tax would raise not more than
two billion dollars annually, it would
impose "a burden of from five to eight
pie. and said it was unjust, unScien-
tifc and fatally poor business policy
to charge several billion dollars in
order to collect a comparatively small
proportion of it for government
revenue.
AS a substitute for the sales tax the
committee of manufacturers and mer-
chants urged the Senate finance com
mittce to consider land values tax.
which imposes a ! per cent tax on the
value of all land after improvements S
have been deducted and an exemption
of $4,000 allowed.

Brindell Charges to Die
If Appeal Is Dropped
Justice McAvoy Rules ON Mo-
tion for Dismissal Of Out
standing Indictments

Supreme Court Justice McAvoy de-
cided yesterday in the motion for dis
missal of the outstanding indictments
against Robert P. Brindell, the labor
leader, now in Sing Sing, that the in.
dictElents should be dismissed IL Brin-
dell formally discontinued his appeal
from his conviction.
The pending indictments against
this defendant" said Justice McAvoy,
have but one likelihood of ever being
prosecuted. Peradventurc, the appeal
now pending may result in reversal
and dismissal of the Indictment on
which conviction has been had In
that event there would be public duty
to proceed anew on another charge
which, If now dismissed, would hardly
be adequately resuscitated for rein
dictment and trial.
THE peoples representatives assert
that these indictments are a moral
force and deterrent to others inclined
to similar criminal practices and should
be maintained undisposed of until the
defendants discharge for the benefit
of their example.
"The punishment is the striking cx-
ample that restraint bctokens the
power of the state. No reason has been
given for longer holding these other
indictment charges on the dockets. If
defendant be advised by counsel that
his appeal is futile and ought to be
withdrawn and an order is made with
drawing it and discontinuing the ap-
peal. all pending indictments will be
dismissed"
