in favor OF q permanent tax programme

needs, leaving war indebtedness. bonus

pared 10 propose to Congress the grant

that competitors in this field have to
pay only local taxes, while American
firms at present have to allow for their

Outlining his views on taxation Rep
resentativs Mondell said: what We
should have IS a lifting rather than q
shifting of tax burdens. Not only Is the
present scheme Of Federal taxes confus-
ing, ineQuitable, exasperating and as TO
some of its features confiscatory, but the
total levy places an altogether unneces-
sary and exceedingly harmful burden on
the American people, their labor and
their industry"
The position OF Mr.. Mondeu Is In
accord with that announced some days
ago by Senator Penrose (Pa.), chairman
OF the Senate Finance Committee. Each
of these leaders believes that with proper
readjustment OF the permanent taxes.
such as the income tax, with necessary
governmental economies and with In
creased receipts from customs duties II
will be possible TO provide SUFFICIENT
revenues for tho conduct of the Govern
ment without resort to new Federal
taxes.
A revision OF the tax law. according &
to Mr.. Mondell, should include: Repeal
Of the excess profits tax. OF the ice
cream soda water and like taxes, OF the
tax on transportation. or the higher In
come surtaxes and Of portion of the
so-called luxury taxes. and changes III
existing law 10 clear up antiquities
and euro defects Of tile tax laws
I'VE should approach the question OF

a view of repeating or reducing the
more harmful and Objectionable OF the
present taxes just as far as 1t is pos

and regular expenditures OF the Govern

substituting or adding any other taxes.
