Meeting 81 Directors
UyTAxING THE RICH;
0VERTAXING THE rOOR


When the tax bill passed the House
fifty Republicans voted with theDem-
ocrats TO recommit the bill for re-
vision. Here are the reasons as given
by two western Representatives:
From speech OF Representative
schalf (Rep) Mimi:
1.-THE test should be. ability t. bear
the burden. The man who IS able
should pay The man who has pro-
fitted most should hand over IN pro-
portion. Spending should not be the
basis OF tax Earnings are the only
just basis. The present tax bill IS
fashioned to lay the heaviest burden
on the backs OF those least able 70
bear It. Think Of the number OF new
millionaires. those who stayed al
home and profiteered Think Of the
profits-5O. 100. yea, even 1000 per
cent made az the cost OF our neces-
sity, at the price Of our boys blood
and agony and now, forsooth, the
surtax. the exoess.profits tax, must
be cut down.
II shall vote TO reeommit the bill,
with instructions TO report II back,
minus the repeal Of surtaxes.
THE test Of the Iniquity Of this
bill able. A definite and certain per
cent should be laid upon income and
excess profits. Abolish nontaxahie Sc
curities Force the money out Of 81
hiding place. Place the burden Of tax
where Il belongs. This is what should
have been done.
THE test OF the inlquity OF this bin
IS that the tax on the pay envelope Is
raised from 20 per cent to over 90
per cent. while the surtax Is reduced
from 65 per cent 70 ~ per cent and
the excess-proflts tax is abolished al
together The principle OF progress
sive tax was right. produced Ro0diy
revenue. even with the tax lodging
Why yield 20 political expedicncy and

such action IN dcfensible. One more
argument has been handed to the

l do not say the Police Department has
not made mistake in furnishing you
information. / do say the original rec
ord carries the truth. and the truth is
as have stated it, Carswell added.
"The report submitted by the Police
Department, Mr.. Chairman said Wall
stein. shows that the car paid for by
DR.. Harriss and used by Commissioner
Enrigbt Is the Packard car No. 108. Upon
this police report Packard No. 10S under
the heading of private cars is stated to
be the Mayors car. 1t was upon that
basis that the committee proceeded, and
has proceeded upon the basis of the
Police Department report submitted to
the committee. 1t now develops that in
addition to the Packard No. 112 among
the public cars assigned to the Mayor
there was also purchased this Packard
limousine reported by the Mayors office
In this document as having been paid
for out of the war emergency fund"
This is matter which can be cleared
up in five minutes II you will permit me
to produce tomorrow morning the orig
inal cards of which of course this record
must necessarily be copy. and the man
who has custody of those original rec
ords and he himself who made them.
In other words, we will get real bona
fide evidence and no copies or any errors
that may have crept into the copies"
IF there is any error in that record
from which Mr.. Wallstein has read it
was made by the Police Department.
That was produced by them and pre-
pared by them Senator Meyer said.

duced and everything. We want the

Without referring directly to the COM

declared his conviction that the gospel

complished in the years Of rehabilitation
and realignment ahead

averse to postmasters being interested
in politics. II any one ever comes to me
and says he is seeking postmastership
and has no party Affiliations he's going
to be wiped off the slate right away. I'd
rather have hard-boiled Democrat than
a yellow Republican. No man is worth
while who is merely seeking place. but
the man is worth while who is seeking
an opportunity for service, particularly
in this present period of change and re-
construction.
Il have sought to preach the gospel
of understanding and service. and ven
ture to say that the greatest things we
shall record in the years Of reconstruc-

Commissioner Buchlers falsehood is an

Rabbi Wise, who is head of the Free

"If Rabbi Buchler made this state

name of Henry Ford into the present
municipal election and to attempt to
make 1t appear that Curran is In any
way or manner connected with the Ford

Buchler, even though member of the
present administration, should have
stopped to the use of such weapons
against the Curran candidacy. SO much
for Rabbi Buchler and Henry Ford. with
whose plans Rabbi Buchler. II correctly
quoted, seems to be familiar.
Every one who knows Major Curran,
whether he Is to vote for him or not.
