G|LLETT DENIES
CORRUPTION

Speaker Answers Criticism by
Mcdonald, British Labor
Leader.

Frederick n. Gillett, OF Massa-
chusetts, Speaker of the House of
Representatives, arose today In the
defense OF his colleagues, as q result
Of the statement In London by Ram.
sey Mcdonald, leader Of the British
Labor party, that "they have more
corruption in Washington than in
London and more In the House of
Representatives than in the House
of Commons"
Gillett said that In his four years
as Speaker he had never had reason
to suspect any man in the House OF
being influenced in his vote by cor
rupt motives"
Gillett issued q statement in which
he called attention to McDonald'S re.
marks, and then said:
II know little about the House
Of Commons, though possibly as
much as Mr.. Mcdonald does about
the House OF Representatives, but

regret that the labor Leader OF

fairly leveled against the House
of representatives, but I do not
think corruption Is one Of them. u

Efforts Made By Moore.
Congressman Moore has had re-
peated conferences with Garrett,
seeking to have the Democrats get
behind the campaign to liberalize
the rules. The plan was for the
liberal Republicans and Democrats
TO gain control Of the Rules Com
nittee, provide a new set Of rules,
but to make no other pledges on
legislation.
Garrett has refused to make the
agreement. His answer was that
he has not been elected leader yet.
However, he published statement
yesterday telling what viii be the

Congressman Moore will appeal to
liberal Democrats, regardless OF
Garrett, and Fish viii appeal to-
liberal Republicans to join with

Check to Judiciary on
List of Measures By
Progressive Group
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON.
H.4a--nAaa..nl. N..n. s.E-loa

Out of q series of conferences
that are practically continuous on
both Senate and House sides OF the
Capitol there emerged today q ten.
tative draft Of legislative program
which the militant little Progress
9fve group will e11deavor to put
through in the new Congress.
Foremost on the tentative agenda
are proposed changes in tie system
Of taxation with far-reaching SeuA.
fits for wage-eafners and an almost
complete revision Of the Esch-Cum-
minis act with q reduction in freight
rates. other goals Of the progress
give group viii include enactment
Of the soldiers bonus and the plac.
ing of check upon the Federal
judiciary.
The program will not assume
final form until after Senator La
Toilette (Rep.D Of Wisconsin, leader
Of the group, RECEIVERS from his
present illness. Other members.
however, are meeting daily to dis
cuss the proposed legislative pro-
gram.
Points In PrograHn.
The tentative program includes:
1. Revision Of the Esch.C ummins
bet with probable restoration Of
rate-fixing powers to the Interstate
Commerce Commission and some
action, tending to force q reduction
IN freight rates.
reducing taxes on small incomes
and increasing the taxes on large
incomes; increases on Inheritance
taxes, and re-enactment Of an ex-
cess profits tax.
5. K proffer Of aid to the Admin
astration IN enacting all "satisfac-
tory" farm legislation, with an eff
fort to enact a wheat sterilization
4. Enactment Of legislation curb.
ing the powers Of Federal Judges,
and providing that the United States
Supreme Court can declare acts Of
Congress unconstitutional only by
fwe-thirds vote.
amendment to start the terms Of
President and all members Of Con
gress on January 1, following their
elections, instead OF on March 4, as
at present.
g. Enactment Of a constitutional
amendment abolishing the Electoral
College and providing for a direct
vote for President.
Z. Enactment Of still other con.
9titutional amendments providing tor
the abolition Of child labor, and to
prohibit the issuance of tax free
securities.
8. Enactment Of a soldiers bonus
9. Enactment Of legislation provid
ing for q degree OF governmental
supervision and control over Goa
and oil Industries.
Opposition Is Expected.
The Progressives also are seeking
some method Of taxing stock divi
dends.
The groups taxation program
without a doubt will meet with ser
ious opposition. It is in direct con
flict with the plan proposed bS
Secretary OF the Treasury Mellor
and il certain to meet opposition
from administration leaders. Tn,
Progressives incidentally will oppos,
Melons plan.
As the group 10 credited with hold
ing the balance Of power" in boil
branches of Congress, the progress
sives probably will be able to blocl
off other legislation even IL unsuc
cessful in efforts to enact their owl
program.
