Senator Frelinghuysen, after portray

The burden of taxation in SO far as it
rested on the shoulders of the man of

continued. through increasing exemp-
tion allowances and the abolition of the
taxes and the excess profits tax.
In telling of the Republican policy to
cut public expenses to the bone, Senator
Frelinghuysen predicted that for the
current year the cost of Government
