CUT NECESSARY #
ADDITIONAL TAXES
ARE To Be AVOIDED
Mellon Tells House Govern
ment Will Have to Go Slow
on Expenditures.

washington, Aug. "A cut of NOR,
than $3.50 100000 in the ordinary ex
penditures of the government thi.
fiscal year is necessary if additiona
taxes are to be avoided, the house
ways and means committee was in
formed Thursday by Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon. On present esti-
mates, he said, the total government
cost this year will be s4,550. 900. 600
of which S3,s30,O0O.OOO must come
from taxation.
The treasury secretary told the
committee that actual expenditures for
the first full month of this fiscal year
indicated that unless there was ian
extraordinary new effort to reduce ex-
penditures" the estimate that the
treasury had presented might be re-
garded as conservative. Ordinary ex-
penditures for July. he said, amounted
to about 1922, 100000 as against
$::}>07 100000 for July, 1920. while the
current deficit last month was S113.-
100000 as against $76,0O0,00O in the
same month year ago.
An analysis of the principal items
of expenditure for July, 1921" the
secretary continued. "shows that S59,-
100000 was on account of the war
department, 56,0OO,OOO on account of
the navy and S32 600, 900 on account
of the shipping board If expenditures
are to continue at anything like these
rates, the estimates would be greatly
exceeded"
Representative Mondell, of Wyom-
ing. Republican leader, declared in a
formal statement that it was entirely
practical in his opinion ito reduce the
total tax levy by at least S5OO,W0,oW
and still meet all proper, essential ex-
penses of the government"
THE excess profits tax and the
higher income surtaxes should be re-
pealed and nothing substituted for
them," he said. THE so-called nuis-
ance tax and the transportation tax.
n whole or in part, should be repealed
and some simple. easily understood
AK, as for instance the proposed five
Der cent flat increase on corporation
axes, enacted to provide funds lost
~ the repeal of these last mentioned
axes
Possibly some other one form of
additional tax may be necessary, but
doubt it. In any event, we should
lot, in my opinion, adopt the stamp,
he bank check or other taxes of that
haracter that have been suggested,
nd l doubt either the necessity or the
of the automobile tax.
People are expecting real reduc-
ion, lifting and not wholly shift |
ne of the burden"
