GOVERNOR BLAINE
ATTACKS SEC. MELLON
Declares He Favors Rich In Income
Taxes - Would Have Ban of
Secrecy Removed

WASHINGTON. Dee. 2.-Discrimina-
ton in favor of the rich taxpayer and
profiteer was imputed to Secretary Mel
len of the treasury department, by Gov
ernOr John j. Blaine of Wisconsin, in an
address here today at a national confer
ence of ProgresSiyes.
In advocating removal Of the secrecy
ban upon income tax returns. Governor
Blaine attacked Secretary Mellon for his
recent statements in correspondence with
Representative Frear, Republican, Wis
reach corporations undistributed sur
plus. which are the basis for stock divi-
dends
Now what Mr. Mellon meant when
he said that the government cannot col
lect taxes due from income and Surtaxes
on excess profits was that what the prof
iteerS and millionaires do 10 escape the
income and surtaxes- is to make false
returns said Governor Blaine "s0me
times through innocence, but often
through deceit and fraud, or by legal de-
vices and tricks of the trade, legally
cheat the government"
Declaring that secrecy of income tax
information was responsible for many
frauds upon the government and that
publicity would largely cure the situa-
ton. Governor Blaine continued:
But suppose Mr.. Mellon would
scourge the profiteer and the millionaire
with the same vigor that he does the less
er criminals. Suppose he would really
try 10 collect the taxes assessed on the
rich. Ii Is true that the government is
powerless to enforce the law against the
rich, or is il just lack of desire on
the part of Mr.. Mellon TO place all taxes
on an equality before the law
