Chairman Hull
Objects to Harding's
Talk at Salt Lake CITY

Washington. June 27-Chairman
Hull Of the Democratic National
Committee in statement tonight
declared that to say that certain
statements made by President Hard
ing in his address on taxation last
night at Salt Lake City ARE grossly
misleading is to use the mildest
possible language"
"In his Utah speech Tuesday" said
Mr.. Hull, president Harding, who in
the transparent disguise of a bust
ness trip to Alaska. is now strenu-
ously campaigning both for his re-
nomination and collection. said that
since 1920 the cost of the federal
government had been reduced more
than one half below the cost for 1919
and 1920. He also said that federal
taxes for 1928 would be considerably
less than half as niue has in 1920.
He further asserted that We have
reduced the national debt to $22,-
100000, 900 from it's peak of $685.
100000 on August 81, 1919 The
president then modestly assumes en-
tire credit for his administration"
Discussing these points in the pres
ident's speech. the Democratic Com
mittee chairman declared "The
Democratic administration paid of
,50,000,000 of the national debt
during the eighteen months prior to
March 4. 1921, or at the rate of ST.
650,000.000 a year." while the Hard
ing administration during the past
2S months has only paid off $780,
100000 of the national debt, or at the
rate of $685.. 100000 a year."
AS to tax reduction. Mr.. Hull said
that "Omitting the repeal of a few
small miscellaneous taxes. the Hard
ing administration through its in
ternal tax revision law has only re-
duced taxes in the estimated amount
Of 100000, 600"
