from the present 80 per cent to not
more thames per cent snd the closing
up 10 far rs possible OF existing ave-
nues OF eScape from federal taxes are
urged by Secretatry Mellon in his an
3nual report, transmitted today to con-
gress. No general revision OF the reve-
nue law is proposed nor are additional
taxes suggested, Mr.. Mellon express
ing THE hope Of meeting any indicated
government deficit through collection
of back taxes and income from other
sources. 49,
The treasury secretary informs con-
gress that to attempt alone to stop
the gaps through which there Is an
avoidance of tax payments to the gov
ernment will not be enough because
the existing rates of surtax put such
heavy pressure on the larger taxpay-
ers to reduce their taxable incomes
that new ones would surely be found
He adds that the high rates Sound
productive" but that the fact remains
that they are becoming increasingly
ineffective and are yielding less and
lesa revenue each year.

time has come to face the facts
squarely" and to correct the artiticia
conditions which now prevail ant
