KELLER STILL FIGHTING.

Representative Oscar Keller of st
Paul is still keeping up his fight for 4:
fair and scientific system of taxation
and recently addressed a letter tt
Chairman Penrose demanding {
chance to explain his program to the
Senate finance committee. =
Keller scored the "indefensible dis
ordinations" of the Fordney: bill as
Especial legislation for numerically
small but politically powerful class
He said, "The facts justify the often
heard assertion that the bill was draft
ed by men intent only on repaying
campaign contributors" and added
that "The passage of such measure
will mean the reputation of the Re
publican party at no distant d ,te."
Keller pointed out that the tax bill
imposes an average additional burden
of $500 on about 100000 small mer
chants, manufacturers, jobbers, retail
ers and professional men whose in.
comes range from $4,000 to 5000 a
year" and refuted the attempted de-
tense of the measure on the grounds it
would "unshackle business" md ire
store prosperity" ~
"True," declared Keller, ut strikes
the tax shackles off a comparatively
few millionaires-well able to pay for
their privileges-but it letters hand
and foot their smaller competitors"
Keller also attacked the transparent
jugglery that has attended Mr.. Mel
Ions various 'revisions' of his esti-
mates of governmental income" and
said he did not believe that ANYONE
takes seriously the vague promise of
the President to make reductions
amounting to $550,0O0,000 a year. =
p SANE PROGRAM PROPOSED.
AS an alternative, Keller suggested
increased taxes on inheritances, a dis
tinction between learned" and "un-
earned" income taxes in favor Of the
former, and a one per cent tax on land
values which allows an individual ex-
emption Of $4,000 and eliminates all
improvements. Keller's bill is drawn,
SO as to eliminate practically all far
mers and small city home owners.
The bulk Of the billion dollars year
which he estimates the tax on land
values would raise would fall on the
owners on unused natural resources
and Keller believes this would break
up monopolies, stimulate production,
and check the dangerous concentra-
tion of wealth which is menacing the
free institutions Of America.
Keller maintains that taxation is
the most important question before
the people. He maintains that wrong
methods Of taxation have created a
class of privilege holders and believes
that the quickest and surest way of
correcting economic evils is to tax
out Of existence. Keller
says he intends to fight for ten years
II necessary to compel tax reform
along scientific lines. He already has
made surprising Roadway and many
competent economists think he has
the most constructive reve-
nue. program ever presented to Com
gress.

BY Waller w. Siggert.


WASHINGTON, D. C-Fear Of po-
iitioa1 consequences induced the Sen
ate finance committee to reject the re-
troactive repeal OF the excess profits
tax proposed by the Administration
through Secretary Of the Treasury
Mellon. Popular protest has been
growing against this indefensible sug-
gestion, and, although most OF the Re-
publican senators favor the retroac-
tive repeal, they feared 1t would wreck
the party.
Melons suggestion that the maxi
mum surtax rates on Individual IN
comes be reduced to Is per cent also
was rejected. The House bill already
has reduced the rates from IS to 80
per cent and after careful deliberation
the Senate finance committee decided
that further reductions would be mad
visable politically.
The turn down Of the Mellon propo-
sails means that the Senate finance
committee will report the House taxa
ton bill with comparatively few
changes. The House bill is an un-
sound measure, which relieves less
than 10000 millionaire of $6O0,000,000
in taxes and saddles this additional
burden upon producers and small bust
ness men, but the Administration pro-
gram would have made bad bill even
worse. The rejection of the Presi-
dents program is partial victory for
the so Republicans, most of them from
the Northwest, who voted to recommit
the House bill and thus made it evil
dent to Penrose and other leaders that
further concessions to Big Business
would split the party.

The situation in West Virginia,
where few powerful operators have

TARIFF TO BE POSTPONED.
Every day It becomes more evident
that there is a growing sentiment
among members of the Senate finance
committee in favor Of postponing all
the year. There is realization among
the business interests of the country
that the excessive duties Of the Ford
ney bill would harm commerce more
than helping it. The United States Is
now an exporting nation and we can
not trade with Europe unless we take
her goods in return. ~-@[.~
Uncle Joe" Fordney, Trainer Of
the House tariff bill, is an old school
statesman OF the 1898 model. He is
not in touch with the latest interna-
tiona1 economic developments. There
are wiser heads on the Senate finance
committee, however, and the Fordney
bill will be entirely rewritten before
it is allowed to come before the Sen !
ate. -

endorsed the park plan and offered to
contribute 500 towards the erection of
a band stand.
Another letter was received from the
American Legion endorsing the plan but
stating that the Legion preferred TO take
no active part in the controversy. The
boys feel that such action would be con-
