the disbarment of these lawyers from

technical questions
There have been some fragrant
cases in which employees of the gov
eminent with a knowledge of the in
side of some big tax question in dis
pute have resigned and gone to the
assistance of the Taxpayer for con-
siderable fee.
There have been other cases in
which a favorable impression made
by a treasury employee while han
ding case with big business con
Germ has led to a resignation after
the case was closed and the employ
ment of the treasury expert IN the
business of the firm affected.
Many former officials of the treas
ury as we'll as former members of
congress are praCticing before the
treasury department and unques-
tionably nine out of ten are obscrv-
ing the ethics of their profession, but
the murmurs of criticism which late
ly have been heard caused the secre-
tary of the treasury and the commits
sioner of internal revenue to antici-
pate action by congress and formu-
late rules and regulations which
would meet all criticism.

MONTHS DEBATE INDICATED

tax as applied to large incomes can
be made an actuality," the report
said, is by reducing the rate of tax
to a sound level and thus lessenins
the incentive to taxpayers to avoid
the tax"
The Democratic report called for
a reduction in the normal taxes to
two per cent on net incomes up to
SIS 900; four per cent I'M incomes be-
tween S. 900 and 900 and six per
cent above that amount. Represen-
tative Gamers original plan called
for a four per cent tax on incomes
between 5000 and $4,000 and the
reduction to $4,000 was explained
as necessary to cut down somewhat
the loss in revenue which the
treasury reported would be sustain
ed under the plan. The surtaX rates
proposed by the Democrats would
start with one per cent at $4,000
and increase to Al per cent on in
comes of 500, 900 and over.
These rates. the report said, would
results in losses of revenue, under
treasury estimates. of $lS6, 257,3S6 in
the normal taxes compared to ST.

ed by the committee, and $139 500. 1873

The figures were based on 1921 reVe-
nue. returns.
Mellon Taken to Task
Citing Secretary Melons decIara
ton that Representative Garner,
ranking Democrat Of the committee,
was playing politics in offering
this tax revision plan, the report de-
clared his expression was IAN ,un-
heard of performance, as insolent as
it is imprudent. and in the judgmen
of the minority is in the worst of
bad faith toward progressive income
taxation
In addition to asking different in
come rates, the Democrats proposed
higher estate taxes and enactment
of Il gift tax, together with the re-
peal of a number of the miscellaneous
taxes in addition to those already re-
vised by the committee
The report explained that all fea
lures of the bill were considered by
the whole committee until the in
come rates were reached, when the
Democrats were excluded. Many
sections of the measure, other than
The income rates, are praised par
ticularly "provisions relating to stop
ping loopholes in the administration
of the law, by which many large tax
payers escape their just taxes" but
the report added that the majority
