Statement BY Senator o. Z. Weller on
the Proposal Of Secretary Of the
Treasury Mellon For RES
duction in Federal
Taxes.

The program outlined to Representa-
tive Green, Acting Chairman OF tn
House WAYS and Means Committee, b.
Secretary OF the Treasury Mellon
recommending legislation providing 10
reduction of S323,O00,0OO in fedora
taxes next year, has my hearty approval
This is the first concrete proposal sinc'
the war for reducing the burden OF tax
alton. and it comes from the Fedora
Government. Taxes have been increas
ed rapidlv in every State in the country
including Maryland and they are SUI
Secretary MELONS proposals would re

incomes would be progressively reouce 'al

from wages. salaries and professional
services: a decrease of over so per cent

and $4,000 a year; would repeal inc
tax on kilograms, telephone messages, az,
missions to moving picture theaters' ana
the so-called nuisance taxes, Changes
world also be made to simplify the adj
,,,;n;stration and collection Of Federal
taxes.
The only objection to this plan comes
from those who favor a soldiers bonus.
A bonus bill would mean an increase o.
several billion dollars in taxes, while
Mr.. Melons proposition means a de-
crease of one-third of billion dollars
each year. 1t is obvious that taxes can
not be decreased by increasing them DO
the people want higher or lower taxes
That is the question.
Congress is now appropriating nearly
ssoo 400 900 a year for the care OF DIS
abled war veterans, this being about one
sixth OF the total annual expenses OF the
Federal Government, and there IS no
thought Of reducing this amount below
that needed for properly taking care OF
incanacitated soldiers. Everyone favors
doirp the Utmost for them.
II NAV be that Mr. Melons recommen-
dations will not be adopted by the in
coming Congress, but they will have my
support and vote. am in favor OF
taking advantage Of this opportunity OF
lowering Federal taxes. The way to Sc
cure this relief is to bring to bear upon
the members of the Senate and of the
House az Representatives in Washington
the weight Of public opinion.
