CREDIT men SEE
DANGER IN PROPOSED
GENERAL SALES TAX

Washington, May 10-Opposition
to enactment of a general sales tax
law developed today at a hearing be-
fore the Senate finance committee.
At previous sessions only arguments
in support of the plan had been
given.
The strongest opposition to a levy
on gross sales was offered by r. G.
Elliott, of Chicago, representing the
National Association of credit men.
Its application to government regu-
lated industries also was attacked by
Phillip H. Gadsden of Philadelphia,
who spoke for the National Electric
Light Association, the American
Gas Association and the American
Electric Railway Association. Mr..
Elliott laid down several specific
reasons against employment of the
new form of taxation. He declared
it would require an entirely new tax
collection machine csld would be
difficult of definition so that its ad-
ministration would be an added bur-
den on the internal revenue bureau.
Supporters of the proposition, he
added, contended that the tax would
be passed on to the ultimate con-
sumner in the additional tax. This
feature, he said, was menacing in
that if passed the tax burden would
g., l.. 1po n
and upon persons least able to pay.
Mr.. Gadsden declared it q ply
steal. impossibility to assess a sales
tax on street car fares or on cleo
tricity or gas through prepayment
meters. His discussion, however,
was not confined solely to the sales
tax, as he went afield to tell the
committee of the requirements of
regulated industries and urged the
appointment of a sub committee to
make a thorough and broad study
of taxation of public utilities. Such
companies, he said. are required to
operate on n fixed basis of receipts
without regard to economic condi-
tons and he declared that it was
only fair that they be considered
separately in the field of taxation.
The most serious condition facing
public utilities, Mr.. Gadsden said, is
their ability to obtain capital. For
that reason he urged that the Con-
gress take steps towards prohibition
of the issue of taxes exempt securi-
ties. Such securities he added, ARE
bleeding" the sources of financial
help for the industries which cannot
put out stocks or bonds free from
taxation and which have government
regulations restricting their earn
ings.
The committee adjourned the
hearing until Friday when other OPP
ponents Of a sales tax are expected
to be heard.

Brunswick Grave
Robbers Prove to Be
Pot of Gold Dreamers

Brunswick, Maine. May 10 The
dream of an elderly resident that a
ghost led him by the hand to a place
with the suggestion that if he would
dig he would find a pot Of gold, was
given by the police today as the So
luton of the mystery surrounding the
opening of an old grave in the Abbott
family burial plot on farm here.
The man told of his dream to a
milkman who repeated the incident
to painter, who, with a friend, ac-
cording to the police, dug deep and
discovered only a rusty nail. No one
recalls the Abbotts as far as known
here and the theory of grave robbing
is now secuted according to the po-
lice, who say no legal action will be
taken.

WAR CONTRACTS

New York, May 10.-Members of
the Master. Plumbers Association to-
day were accused of profteering on
government war contracts.
The charge was made by former
Commander Elliot C. Brown of the ma
val serve force, in testimony before
the legislative committee investigating
building combines,
While he was supervising construc-
ton Of barracks at Fort Washington
in Brooklyn during the war, Mr..
Brown said, he discarded five bids
from members of the association be-
cause they were double the estimated
cost of the work. He had discovered,
he said, that the lowest bidder al
ready had received permission from
the city to do the work and purchased
materials for the job before the bids
were opened. Later he let the job
to an independent for half the money
bid for by the association members.
The matter was Immediately placed
before the United States attorney,
who decided there was not sufficient
evidence for an indictment. the wit
ness asserted. Then he wrote Assist
ant United States Attorney Harper
expressing hope that they would OBJ
tain the evidence ito send this group
where they belong; since it is one of
the most bold faced instances of bid
pooling that has ever come to my at
tention.' Again nothing was done,
the witness asserted.
The committee also delved into the
practices of the 90 members of the Ma
tional Association of Boiler and Radi-
ator Manufacturers whose prices were
pretty uniform. according to their
secretary. Fred W. Herrenden of Gene
va. n. Y. He denied that the prices
were absolutely uniform and said such
things were never mentioned i'll the
association.
Herrenden said part of his work
was opposing legislation not favored
hE the association, and admitted that
as killer of legislation the associa-
ton was great success.
Clarence NJ Wooley, president of
the American Radiator Co. of New
York, testified his company. with %
factories in America and Europe, did
$4l,000900 business in 1920 and was
the pacemakcr in it's field. Other COM
panies trail it in the matter of prices
but there is no agreement between

committee they were trying to elimi-
nate iniquities and inequalities which
he had devoted the best part of his
life to keeping out of his own indus

within "a hours, to discuss the situ-
alton created by the coal crisis. the
executive committee of the Trans

hours session, at which it was re

i've action as yet, but meetings of the
railroad men, especially in north
England, care demanding national

Thus, while there was no new de-

Washington, May 10-The army
appropriation bill carrying approx

an army of 10000 enlisted men was
passed late today by the House and
sent to the Senate. The vote was
243 to %.
Before the final vote was taken
unsuccessful attempts were made to
have the House reverse it's previous
action in adopting an amendment
providing for a reduction in the size
of the army, which now totals about
100000 to 10000 and for the dis

An effort by Representative Her
rick, Republican, new member
from Oklahoma, to attach a rider
declaring the war at end and direct
ing the secretary of war to withdraw
American troops from Germany was
quickly checked by Representative
Mondell, Republican leader who
made point of order against it.
When the bill was being considered
paragraph by paragraph an amend
ment offered by Rep. Byrnes, Demo-
crat, South Carolina, to reduce the
force from 10000, the number recon-
mended by Secretary Weeks to 10000
WAS adopted. Privileged to call for
a second vote, Chairman Anthony of
the subcommittee in charge of the
bill. did so today but the amendment
was retained, 123 to 159.
Rep. Mondell spoke in opposition to
the Byrnes amendment. contending
that it would be impossible for months
to cut the army to 10000. To keep
within the appropriation during the
II months period beginning July /.
he said, it would be necessary toward
the last of the year to reduce the ar
my to 10000.
Rep. Garrett. Tennessee, acting
Democratic leader. led the fight for
retention of the Byrnes proposal and
on the vote had almost solid Demo-
cratic support and that of many Re-
publlcans. AS introduced the bill car
ried approximately 1892, 000, 900, but
