Boston, Sept. 7.-Governor Cox made
public tonight a letter to United States
Senator David l. Walsh of Massachu-
sets in reply to the latter's sugges-
ton for conference of New England
governors to discuss means of reliev-

Governor Cox called attention to the
fact that in January last such a con-

to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.
Il am surprised" the letter said
'at the statement in your letter I be-
lieve the commission and its experts
have information which the authori
ties of the state should possess AT
present The substantial control of all
the railroads is under federal author
itY. The federal authorities fix the IN
terest Rates and have the power u
review the intrastate rates. They also
have control of the amount of stocks
and bonds that may he issued and in
large measure determine the amount
which is paid employees.
In view of this federal control it
seems TO be the duty of the Interstate
Commerce Commission and its experts
to present at once information of the
sore to which you refer and might be
of assistance.
IF You on the ground in Washing
ton can obtain. or arrange to have
furnished, information which would
make another conference of the New

BRITISH ANSWER De VALERA
PROPOSE CONFERENCE SEPT. 20
DANGER OF BREAK lessons
TO CONSIDER TAX
CHANGES SUGGESTED
BY SEC. MELLON

Washington. Sept. 7-Secretary
MELONS suggestions for tax revis-
ion, which were abandoned by the
House ways and means committee
after the intervention of President
Harding, will come up again tomor-
row before the Senate finance COM
mittee. Mr.. Mellon will be on hand
prepared to discuss those sugges-
tons, the estimates as revised after
the White House conference on Au-
gust 9th and the tax bill was passed
by the House.
The Senate committee completed
preliminary consideration of the
House measure today, but decided
to postpone any decision on the
various. changes made by the House
until after the treasury secretary
had been heard. Mr.. Mellon said
today he would have no prepared
statement for the committees, but
the senators will have before them
treasury tables showing estimated
penditures.
Sugge stions originally presented to
the House committee by Mr.. Mellon
were built around an estimated tax
yield requirement of approximately
$500 100000 next year, or some
$50 ,000,000 more than provided for
in the House bill. Then contem-
plated new sources of revenue such
as one cent increase in first class
postage, a stamp tax of two cents
on each bank check and a graduated
license tax on automobiles to aver
age so yearly for each machine,
and increased levies on cigarettes,
and smoking and chewing tobacco
to yield an additional S5O,OO0,O0O an
nually.
The original total tax yield as CIV
en- by Mr.. Melon is approximately
that which some members of the
Senate committee believe will be
necessary next year. Others and
particularly the Democrats, are of
the opinion now that approximately
four billions of dollars viii lhave to
be raised from internal taxes unless
the government is to face huge de-
In this connection some commit
tee Democrats indicated today that
they desired to question the treasury
secretary tomorrow as to the pur-
pose of the AUTHORIZATION contained
in the House measure for the treas
ury to issue an additional SJ00,00O,-
600 in short dated securities. They
desire to know they said, whether
this authority was requested by the
secretary in the belief that the de-
ficit under the House tax measure
would total such a sum.
After Secretary Mellon has been
heard tomorrow. the committee will
get down to revising the House
measure and considering general
questions of policy such as the sales
tax and other new levy suggestions.
Chairman Penrose said it was the
purpose to have the bill ready for
the Senate when congress recon-
venes Sept 21.
1t was understood that Senator
Smoot, Republican, Utah. informed
the committee today that he would
present his sales tax plan. There
also has been some talk of a pro-
posal for a. manufacturers tax on a
limited scale but some of the ma jor-
ity leaders do not believe these will
be incorporated in the measure as
finally drafted.
