WASHINGTON. Jan. 10 - Taxes,
E'hsrgeable to overhead expense, neces-
sarily add to the cost Of production and
unless some equivalent benefit results
other than the revenue itself. they might
better be assessed against the consumer
in the first instance. If this be correct
in principle then excess profits tax should
be abolished.
Excess profits taxes have indirectly,
If not directly, added more to the cost
Of living than any other single factor

CONSUMPTION TAX
MOST LOGICAL.
There is no answer to the logic of
consumption tax, unpopular though II
may seem until understood. Suppose the
cost Of production and distribution Of
shoes had been kept at their minimum
and a tax of even per cent imposed
upon the final sale-and no one even
thinks Of one-quarter of 1 per cent. Our
$50 shoes would have been kept under
SO and the retailer, having escaped the
excess profits taxes, would be disposed
to bear some slight portion Of the con-
sumption tax Of s120. Like saving to
the consumer and the same increase In
public revenue would result from nearly
everything we produce and consume.
tax on each intermediate sale also
results in pyramiding the burden on the
consumer only.
Incomes afford the best yardstick 70

government and Income taxes, therefore
are the most logical and equitable Of

TAX REDUCTION
PLEA APPLATDFn

= In a speech that was applauded vigor-
ously Representative Smith Of Gibson
County allied attention to the present
illinois law regarding the taxing OF
mortgages, and stated that the result OF
the Illinois law had been the lowering OF
the taxes in that State to one half the
taxes in Indiana.
This business of talking about the
building situation and the result the law
would have on housing is mush." said
Mr. Smith. Our pressing need in In
diana now is the reduction of taxes. and
to this end we should place a tax on
these mortgages. Then we can get our
hands on them"
The question Of taxation is right now
the biggest thing that confronts the
people Of Indiana" said Representative
Abrams. II have had more people stop
NE to talk about taxes and the need for
reduction than any other one subject"
Mr.. Abrams signed the majority re-
port and worked diligently for its adop-

but we want to go about it in the right
way. It has been stated that one OF
the purposes Of the commission would
be to eliminate duplication. TIE com
mittee itself would duplicate the efforts
OF the Legislative Visiting Committee
and the State board OF accounts"
Senator Oscar Rats OF Paoh. Repub-
iican floor leader. said the question was
not one OF whether the Senate favored an
investigation. He said the resolution
would accomplish nothing because it
does not provide for the expenses Of
the committee and that appropriations
cannot be made by resolution.
Senator Rats declared, 1T gets tire
some to hear a fellow talking all the time
about something being wrong and max
ing insihuauOns."
He said that II it was intended that
anything should be done the resolution

This is not a party measure" he said.
Some Of your own party men are bring
ing this up. II this resolution did moth
ing else but put before the Assembly the
need for such a bill as has been sug-
gested Il would be successful. The resp
luton could have been followed by a bill
making an appropriation. I offered to
permit the committee to amend 1t in any
way. shape or form. You can't set aside
the fact that this IS a time for retrench-
ment and economy. That Is the Idea
had In view. The farmers pay about hall
the taxes and they are demanding
economy"
Senator william f. English OF Indian
apolis declared that If there is any rea-
son to believe an investigation is nee
essary the request for such an investiga-
ton should come from the Governor.
Senator James J. Nejdl Of Whiting de-
manded to know If the proposed commit
tee would not overlap the work Of the
State board Of accounts. Senator Doug
las replied that the board has nothing
to do with eliminating overlapping activ-
tiles and recommending economy. He
declared that he hoped 'if the Governor
makes a request for an Investigation It
viii meet with-mOre respect than this res
olution has"
1t was then that Senator Douglas
asked permission to withdraw his resolu-
ton and 1t was granted by a vive voce
